A special to the New York World,
from Roaring Creek, Pa, of October
9Th, says: James Casson and Henry
Boyer, farmers, this morning were
found lying insensible on the roadside
four miles from Roaring Creek. AT Ii
o'clock this morning Casson died. He
had received charge of buckshot in
his breast. Boyer had his right leg
broken and his head literally riddled
with No. 6 shot. When he became
conscious he said that last night he and
Casson were driving from Roaring
Creek to Orangeville, when two shots
were fred by some one concealed In the
bushes bordering the road. Casson fell
back after the first discharge, and
Boyer was only conscious of the horses
running away and being thrown over
rocky embankment. Boyer died at 3
o'clock to-day. Suspicion attached to
young married man, Levi Heilner,
who had repeated quarrels with Boyer
and often threatened to kill him, alleg-
ing that Boyer was guilty of undue in
timacy with his wife. Six months ago
he attempted to shoot Boyer, but was
prevented by friends. Boyer was "a
year old, had a wife and four children,
and it is asserted on all sides, and ad.
mitted by Mrs. Heilner, that his rela-
tions with her were not what they
should have been. He frequently in
suited and abused Heilner, and conse.
ouently his killing would not have Gre
ated much i'll feeling were it not for the
fact that Casson also had fallen VIC
tim to the husbands rage. Casson was
80 years of age and highly esteemed.
He had family Of married children.
He was accidentally in Boyer's CON-
pany last night. Heilner continued to
deny his guilt until a o'clock this after.

the fatal shots. intending to kill only
Bower. The latter, he said, came to
his house yesterday, and tainted him
with his wife's infdelity and love for
him. He did not regret killing Boyer,
but was sorry for the death of Casson.
He said he hoped to be hanged for the
crime.

to the rescue of the laborers in peril on
Lake Michigan, and succeeded in rescu-
ing four persons. 1t is now known that
ten of those on the frail pier were
drowned. The storm was one of great
fury. 1t blew up very suddenly, and
the work Of destroying the temporary
structure was quick and complete. The
men had one small boat, which is sup
posed to have gone adrift. When the
storm first struck the pier a number of
unfortunate men were carried into the
lake with the wreckage of their build
ing and were compelled to battle for
their lives, with no aid beyond stray
pieces of floating timber, in the dark
ness of the night.
