Probable Key to Many Mysteries.

WINoNA, Mimi, July Din tearing
down an old building on Main street on
Tuesday an ingeniously constructed trap
door was discovered opening into a vault
beneath, in which were found bones and
remnants of old shoes and clothing. The
house was used as a gambling house by
George Raymond. who built it in 1863,
but left five years later, as unpleasant ru-
mors began to circulate about him. The
existence Of the trap door and vauls was
unknown to any of the old settlers, ard it
is believed that they may account for she
sudden and mysterious disappearance of
more than one man who freauented Il 9
place during Raymond's time, and wha
have not since been heard Of.

ALL DROWNED.
One of the Saddest Incidents Reported for
MANY Years.

One of the Saddest Incidents Reported for
Many Years.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, July Cone of the
saddest cases of drowning that has been
recorded in this locality for a number Of
years occurred at Lake Johanna yester-
day afternoon. This lake is situated
about six miles from st. Paul, and is
often visited by numerous pleasure par
ties. who desire to spend quiet day and
enjoy the fishing and rowing. Harry
C. Tucker, clerk Of the Ryan Hotel, ac-
companied by his wife and his father and
sister, went out to the lake after dinner
to spend the afternoon and evening. Mr..
fuckers father and his sister, Mrs.
Deisinger, are residents Of Amsterdam,
n Y, and came to st. Paul only short
time ago on visit to their relatives here.
After the party arrived at the hotel it
was decided to go for a boat ride, and
Mrs. Tucker, being rather timid, pre-
serred to remain on the bank and watch
the party. Mr.. Tucker took the oars and,
accompanied only by his father and sis
ter, started out over the lake. They had
reached a point but quarter of a mile
from the shore when, from some cause at
present unknown, the boat capsized and
the three occupants were precipitated
into the lake.
Mrs. Tucker screamed Tor help, out
long before any one could go to the res
cue all three of the former occupants Of
the boat were lost sight of and drown ed
in sight of the distracted wife on the
shore.
The details of the sad affair are at this
hour very meagre, but it is learned that
Harry Tucker made desperate effort to
save his sister. As soon as he could
reach her after coming to the surface he
started to swim ashore, but became sx-
hausted, and the two sank together and
were seen no more.
The old gentleman was also seen to be
swimming shoreward, but he disappeared
from view soon after his son and daughter
sank to the bottom. 1t is said that Harry
could have easily saved himself, but he
exhaused his strength in his efforts to
rescue his sister, and being a man OF
nearly two hundred pounds in weight, he
could not keep afioat.
The accident is said to have happened
about half-past four O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. Harry Tucker was one of the
principal clerks Of the Ryan Hotel, and
was honored and respected by all who
knew him. His father was an old resident
of Amsterdam, and the news of his sad
death will be a severe blow to his many
relatives and friends in that locality.
