FRIGHTFUL TRAGEDY.
Frank l.. Siivers. of Tecumseh, Kills
His Wife, His Two Little Daugh-
tiers ard Then Shoots Himself.
No Cause Known For the Deed.

Neighbors of Frank l.. Silvers, a widely
known horse breeder and popular citizen of
Tecumseh. noticed at IA late hour Sunday
morning, Feb Il. that the curtains OF his
house were down and the house apparently
closed and deserted.
The neighbors broke open the door and
entered TO find the body of Mrs. Silvers
lying upon the floor near the stove. A
round hole near the temple bore evidence
that she had been killed by bullet. The
body was fully dressed, and other evidences
bore out the belief that she had been killed
early the previous night.
The horrorstruck party then hurriedly
assembled the stairway 10 the upper story of
the house. In a chamber upstairs the two
beautiful girls lay dead i'm their bed, also
shot through the temples, while on the floor
at the foot OF the bed was the bleeding body
of the father, shot in the same manner, but
still alive, though hOpelessly wounded A
six shooter by his side, four chambers dis
charged, showed how the bloody work was
accomplished.
The evidence points to the belief that the
shooting was done about o'clock the pre-
vous night, when pistol shots WEI heard by
people "a short distance OF. The wife was
shot while sitting unsuspectiugly engaged
in some simple handiwork. Then came the
slaughter OF the innocent children, VINO
must have been shot in their sleep, lying
when found with Their beautiful faces as
passive as those of two marble statues
Then followed the rnal act OF the tragedy
The family stood in good esteem and no
motive IL known for the terrible deed ex
cept "A possible domestic disagreement "A
letter found provides for the disposition of
the DrOperty.
