Anslly recovered. Neither OF them
sould or did identity their asssilsut and.
In fact, Il was very difficult TO assign
any motive for the deed.
Several parties were arrested on sus.
pioion, but no tangible evidence could
b or wss produced positively fixing the
terrible crime upon any person. A San

traced the mystery to It's only reasonable
and oorrec, solution. but he thought best
not to divulss what bis conclusions we're.
and not long sftsrvard committed sui

the AFFAIR aud various circumstances con.
nso,sd Herewith that he traced the
crime directly to the married sister OF
Miss Dunn. Who. with her husband. CO.
oupi-d the house and farm whore the
girls were stopping. The motive was
supposed to Be ~j-alousy. the attempt
being made to kill Mlss Dunn. and Mis'
H.sisp being injured BY mistake In the
dark. Whatever Miss Dunn's Ideas OF
opinions were In the matter. she strsnu'
eusly opposed any inquiries or sus
