day afternoon, and Immediately proceeded
to hold an inquest upon the bodies. +. G..
Horn, OF Flora, was appointed foreman.
The first theory formed in regard to the
matter was that the bloody deed had been
committed for the purpose of plumber, but
evident that some other motive had
prompted the act, 1t appeared from the
evidence Of the neighbors and friends of the
unfortunate family, that
BITTER FEUD
had existed for some time past on account
of money matters, between the Stelzenriede
family and one Frederick Boeltz, whose wife
is sister of the murdered woman. Boeltz
it is said, borrowed money at different times
from the Stelzenreiders, and gave a chattel
mortgage on his property to secure the
amount. 1t is further stated that for
several months past .he has been
exceedingly embarrassed in his bust
ness affairs and being pressed by
his relatives for the debt became quite
offended, refused to speak to them and also
forbade his wife to visit or have any COM
munication with her sister. All these cir
cumstances having bean developed during
the investigation, the coroner concluded to
send for BoeltZ, and let him tell his story to
the jury. BOeltZ, on being notified, refused
to appear, urging want of time as an excuse
but when subpoena was served on him by
the sheriff and he was brought by force to the
house, he appearedquite agitated and ever
refused to look at the dead bodies before
him. On being questioned in regard to the
murder he was exceedingly guarded and
cautious in his answers, and very artfully
avoided eliminating himself. The evidence
would seem to indicate that Boetz had some
knowledge of the horrible crime, though il
is possible that when the investigation takes
place in the court, he may be able to cleal
himself of any suspicion. At a meeting o
the board of commissioners of st. Clail
county yesterday, reward of 81 900 was Of
fered for arrest and conviction of the muir
derers.

Il, lon. 30. O3, at II o'clock a. M, sighted a

At p. m. she came quite near, near showing
signals of distress. We bore down and found
her to be the French steamer Europe, from
Havre for New York. in a sinking condition,
and wishing us to send our boats and assist in
getting off the passengers and crew. We i'm
mfdiately lowered numbers 6and boats and
sent them away in charge of Mr.. Ruck, chief
