wrote back that be would accept the money as

SIGHTING THE SEA SERPENT.

Passengers on the steamer John A. Dix,
plyiug on Lake Michigan between Chicago
and st. Joseph, Mich, report seeing an i'm
mense sea serpent sporting in the waters OF
the lake last Wednesday evening. Capt.
Cochraue says the monster was black and
as large around as barrel, having long
neck and asmall head with little eyes, and
that it first showed above water short
distance from the stern of the boat, lifting
its head and looking around and then div
ing again. 1t moved rapidly away from
the boat. At st. Joseph and Benton Harbor
there is a good deal of talk about the SER
pent, and also at Grand Haven.
Phil Jeanette, owner of fishing schoon-
er, says that, as be was beating in about
half-past six in the evening, he saw the
serpent run its head up out of the water
more than four feet. He was frightened,
but could not stop the boat, and felt it jar
against something hard enough to knock
him off his feet. Looking over the bow he
saw the monster. 1t was about as big round
as beer keg, and its side was bright
green color and looked like leather. 1t duck
ed its head and slid off straight ahead diving
and coming up to the surface. There was
sort of ridge along it's back, and there was
light streak under its throat Its teeth were
a little hooked and its jaws were about
foot deep. Its eyes were about as big around
as a silver dollar, and they set out each
side of it's head like little balls. 1t was
about forty or fifty etlong. Its tail sloped
off and was flattened out like an oar, only
much thicker, and it lashed the water with
the tail when it dived.
Last Wednesday, while standing on the
porch of the St. Charles Hotel at St. Joseph,
he saw it again. He saw its head rising
above the surface about q half mile Off the
beach and to the northward of st. Joseph
light. He ran into the hotel and called
Colonel Tom B. Seeley's attention to it, and
togethe. they went to the upper piazza of
the house and watched the serpent for sew
eral minutes, when Colonel Seeley went to
get field glass to view it better Upon his
return with several guests of the hotel the
serpent was gone.
Jeanette says it dived once or twice in
plain view and then disappeared for good.
He believes that its favorite resort is the
warm water on the bar off St. Joseph bar
Dor, so as to bask in the sun, but only during
the extremely hot period, and that it comes
from subterranean cavern under the lake
or through an outlet from some other body
of warmer water.

AYENGEs HER WRONGS.

A dispatch from Bedford, Iowa, says:
The most exciting tragedy that ever occur
red in this part of the State took place in
this city at three o'clock Monday afternoon.
Ida Kimball is the pretty fifteen year old
daughter of one of the leading business
men of this city. She is brunette and is
one of the most popular girls in the city.
She was we'll developed for her age and
among strangers would have readily passed
for girl of eighteen. She has had the best
of home training, and much money has
been spent on her musical education, which
was the means of her meeting T. NJ. Giles,
the leading music dealer of the city. She
was frequent caller at the store, where
to be good friends, nothing more. She was
regarded as o mere child by those who knew
her, and no thought of wrong was limited
until about three weeks ago, when vague
rumors began to be circulated.
Monday morning Miss Kimball called at
the music store and remained about an
hour. She and Giles held an animated con-
yersation in the rear of the store, no part of
which was heard by any one. 1t was OBJ
served, however, that when she left, she
was crying softly At home nothing unu-
sual was observed in her demeanor. She
was somewhat quieter, perhaps, than usual,
but that was all. Alter dinner she retired
to her room and was not again seen by any
member of the family until after the trag-
edy.
1t is supposed that she left her house be-
tween two and three o'clock and went direct
ly to the music store, where she engaged
Giles in conversation. Suddenly she sprsng
directly in front of him, drew an ivory hand
led revolver from her pocket, fred twice in
quick succession, and without word turn
ed and left the store Two or three persons
who were present at once ran to assist Giles,
who was lying apparently dead with blood
gushing from CHASTITY wound in the head
and one in the breast. Heremained uncon-
scious until the time of his death, which oc-
CURED at FIVE o'clock.
Miss Kimball returned at once to her
home, where she calmly announced that she
had killed Giles. To her horrifed parents
she explained that over year ago Giles had
seduced her; that he had since repeatedly
compelled her to submit to him; that she
was now in delicate condition, and as he
could not give her reparation, she determln
ed to kill him. She has not been arrested
but will be soon. She seems to be perfectly
collected and shows no remorse for her deed
