eastern half of LIE Sueur county. She
WAS not only attractive in appearance.
but also possessed more accomplish
ments than are usually found among
country girls. Scarcely more than
sweet SIXTEEN" it was not at
all surprising that she should
OBJECT TO becoming the wife of
dark-vlsaged and surly man many
years her senior and in every point of
view her inferior. Then, too, as the
story develops. it turns out that all of
the relatives of the murdered girl
seriously objected to Miss Tina's re-
celylng the attentions of Jindra. and in
fact this was the real reason why the
rather OF Miss Washa refused to give
Jlndra employment for some time past.
This treatment angered the
sURLY AND DoGGED
young bohemian. But this anger was
carefully concealed from ali the family,
and Jindra continued in the somewhat
difficult task of making love to a girl
tnat refused to receive his attentions.
Suddenly new, and,a Jindra seems to
nave regarded, q more formidable rival
appeared on TIE scene in the person
OF Frank Weiner. The latter only
recently 'come over" and was pos
Sessed of neither wealth nor influence,
but as he was rather nice looking and
faithful, hard worker, it didn't take
him long to touch the neart of the fair
Tina and become her favorite beau.
Besides all this, the Washa family took
kindly to young Weiner. and all seemed
to be running along as smoothly as
could be desired. For some time
Weiner remained in the employ of the
dead .paterfamilias and lived in the
same house with Miss WaSha. This
fact NAV ovnlain NUhy on Mnpdau
evening he took it into his head to
spend the night at
THE WASHA FARM
instead of going across the country to
Frank Sima'S. where he was at the time
staying. This Frank Sima is married
to an older daughter of the Washa fam
lily, and, as is usual among the people
of these settlements, it is nothing un-
common for any one to spend night
with friends or relatives instead of go
ing directly home. In going home from
Frank Washa's the idea of spending the
night with his friends at the Widow
Washa's home seems to have occurred
to Weiner, and he acted upon it.
But how did he get into the house?
Did he enter by way of the kitchen
window, or did Miss Washa get up and
unbar the door? The occupants of the
other bed in the same main room of the
heard nothing until just moment be-
fore the firing of the shot that almost
ended the existence of Weiner, and
consequently they do not know how
| either man effected an entrance beyond
the fact that the window of the little
kitchen attached to the north side of
the house was open. 1t is quite likely,
however, that Weiner was
ADMITTED BY MISS TINA,
who Slept near window and could cas-
lily be aroused without awakening any
other member of the little crowd in the
house. The fact that the door was
opened, and by her, to Weiner would
undoubtedly increase the jealousy of
Jindra and nerve him to commit his
diabolical crime. This, too, affords
reasonable explanation of the presence
OF both men in the room. Jindra knew
that some strange man was there who
had been admitted by the girl he loved.
Weiner was unaware of the entrance of
Jindra with his terrible bull dog re-
volver with its entire six chambers
ready primed for work. The lighting
of the match by Weiner located Jindra's
first target aud one chamber was emptied
into Weiner's PROSTATE form with al
most fatal effect. This alarmed the
slumbering girl, and she leaped from
her couch and began to scream. A mo-
ment later she was a corpse. There
have been intimatonS that Weiner and
Miss Tina bad sustained improper rela-
ttons toward each other; and that Wei
ner's presence in her sleeping room was
conclusive evidence of this, considering
