er a Wife la Jafe
Idolization of his daughter, Golda,
17 years old, is aald to have caused
J. B. Sayler. rice president of the
First National Bank, of Crescent
City, 111.,’ to suffer in silence the do
mestic tragedy that led to his death
Sunday night at the hands of l>r.
W. R. Miller, who for many months
had paid ardent attention to the
banker s wife,.mother of Golda Say
ler.- ‘ _
According-fc> Wi R. Nightengale,
cashier of the Wank of which Mr.
Sayler was vice president, the devot-
«d father determined to suffer in
silence rather than take any action
which would involve his child in
potoriety.
• He seemed to fear some tragic
solution of the sKuation," said Mr.
Nightengale. “When he left the tit)
during the last year’or so it was
his habit to seek privacy, after which
he would reappear with a bulky en
velope containing papers
" 'Should anything happen to me,
*he always told me, 'open this package
and follow to the letter the Instruc
tions contained therein ’
“After each trip but the last he
destroyed the papers upon his return
He was away a little while ago, hut
when he came hack he failed to fol
low this practice.
“That packet, I believe, is locked
in his private box in the bank s i
vault. Whether it will shed any
thing on the tra/edy which ended
his life I cannot say. The coroner
has the key and will open the box
later, possibly after the funeral.
That Dr Miller stood in real dan
ger of lynching Monday night is as
serted by Mr. Nightengale and many
others. More than a hundred men
thronged the streets of the usually
•quiet village trying to organize an
attack on the jail. One man with a
rope was forcibly taken to his home
by cooler persons, whose counsel
finally prevailed. Among the lattei
was Willis Sayler. a brother of tin -
slain man
Dr. Miller's defence is that he shot
only when attacked by the banket
with a hatchet. Evidence casting »
shadow on this statement was giver,
at the inquest
Sayler wias slain about 10 o'clock
Sunday iMght. Mrs. Miller, wife o.
the doctor, had left a few days pie
xOously to visit her parents at Shar
on, Pa., and Dr Miller was taking
his meals at the Sayler table am'
"sleeping at his own home. Thert
were also at the Sayler home at tb<
time of the shooting, John C. Grus
den, father a/f Mrs. -Sayler- and Ira
Grunden, her brother. The olde,
Grunden came recently from Aru
more, Okla., to become an iumate o
the Soldiers' Homo at Danville
Golda Sayief was sent awa> by hei
mother a few days ago.
St^tday .eyeiviug John ‘Grundei
we at to ask Mr. Sayler, who was oc
copying a rocking chair on the lawn
to come in and play cards, they twi
against Dr Miller and Mrs--Sa>lei
His refusal, Mr. Sayler stales, was
due txj his belief that sin' amt tie
doctor attained success at the ganu
by a system of signals.
Grace Davis and other girls auo
Godfrey Ruble stopped to chat foi
a moment with Mr. Sayler at tin
front gate just a few minutes belor*
he was slain. He was in a good hu
mor. T-hey had left Sayler abou
three minutes when they heard th
fatal shots.
Three bullets were found in tin
banker's body and in the wall. >
fifth bullet was found embodied it
aa outside wall, whereas the slaying
occurred in the house, and a ftftl
empty shell tallying with the other.-
found in the house was found on tin
lawn. This fact is connected by th*
State's attorney with a wound it
Dr. Miller s right wrist.
The doctor's explanation of bis
damaged wrist Is that he .was sho'
by his own pistol during a struggle
with Mr. Sayler. The discovery a,
a fifth empty shell, however, hat
opened up a line of inquiry to whicl
the State attaches much importance
After the shoting of Sayler. Dr. Mil
ler was alone with the body for a
time while the others went for as

A dispatch front Sault Ste Marie,
Mich ,' says three mlnutfa after the
steel -steamers Isaac dealt and John
B. Cowle had collided in Lake Su
perior early Monday morning, about
a mile and a half off White Fish
Point light house, the Cpwle had
gone to the bottom In fifty fathoms of
water, carrying with her fourteen
nxembera of her crew. The Scott, al
though badly damaged, put back to
Sault Ste Marie, where she arrived
Monday afternoon, with part of the
Fi-rew of the Cowle.
A heavy fbg was responsible for
the collision. The Scott, a new boat,
was on her maiden trip to the head
of the lakes. The Cowle was down-
bound, with 8,000 tons of iron
ore in the hold.
When the crash came, for fifteen
feet the bow of the Scott penetrated
he side of The Cowle. In three min-
ttes the Cowle had settled to the
bottom of Lake Superior.
A lipe was thrown from the deck
uf the Scott to the forward deck of
he Cowle and three members of the
•few escaped by this means.
The eight of the crew who were
•saved jumped into the lake, some
without life preservers, and were
ncked up by the Scott aad the stebin-
r Goodbye, which was a .short d's-
anye astern of the Scott when the
ollision occurred.

Orville Wright Monday evening
made a very successful flight in the
Wright aeroplane at Fort Myer, Va.,
near Washington, remaining in the
air five minutes and thirty seconds,
during which time the machine at
tained the exceptional speed of forty
miles an hour and circled the parade
grounds half g dozen times, a total
distance of about three and a half
miles.
A strong breeze prevented the
Wright brothers from starting the
aeroplane immediately after it was
brought from the shed. While wait
ing for favorable conditions, they
examined the machine carefully and
chatted with prominent persons who
had gone over from Washington to
witness the trial.
With Count von Verastorff, Ger
man ambassador, the Wrights talked
at length explaining the working of
the machine. Mrs. Nicholas Long-
worth, daughter of Ex-President
Roosevelt, enthusiastically examined
the aeroplane, as did Secretary of the
Navy Meyer.
When the signal finally was given
to start, the machine shot forward
and mounted gracefully into the light
breeze. Orville Wright guided the
dyer to the lower end of the large
parade ground and circled around
toward the starting point, gradually
rising higher from the ground.
Six times he rounded the course,
the machine attaining an average
speed of about forty miles an hour,
according to Mr. Wright.
After passing the crowd the sixth
time the aviator decided to make a
landing because the motor occasion
ally was missing a spark. He de
scended early and lighted with no
apparent jar, the machine sliding
smoothly over the ground, until it
came to a stop at a point near the
shed.
Both of the Wrights expressed
themselves as pleased with the per
formance. They intend to make only
short flights until the new bearings
have become worn down and the pro
pelling motor is working perfectly.
When these things have adjusted
themselves to the satisfaction of the
aviators they intend to attack their
main task, to which these minor
flights are preliminary—that of
satisfying the conditions prescribed
by the Government for the official
test.

rte alleged that he is between $75,000
and $100,000 short in his accounts.
It is declared that Ingram's defal
cations have extended over a period
of 15 mouths.

with insisted that the accused be
brought to prison without delay. He
was carried to police headquarters in
an ambulance.
It was reported that Ingram had
made an attempt at self-destruction
late Wednesday, but this is without
confirmation. It is believed rather
that the strain under which he had
labored and the recent excessive
heat resulted in his partial collapse.

confessed to Vic e President Pool of
the Hibernia bank that his defalca
tion would Approximate $100,000. It
Is stated that a check for $5,000, on
which Ingram forged the signature
of a prominent busines* man of New

embezzlements and forgeries now
charged against him.
