A TERRIBLE DEED.
Henry Reher, Near Fergus
Falls Attempts to Slaugh-
ter His Whole Family.
Many Repeated Thrusts of His
Butcher Knife Lay His
Wife Silent in Death.

FERGUS FALLS Mimi, Special Telegram
Dec. 30.-A terrible tragedy occurred last
night in the house Of Henry Reher, who
lived fifteen miles west of Fergus Falls and
about the same distance from Carlisle.
Reher came home at about 9 o'clock
from Elizabeth, where he ran shoe shop,
and, after some pleasantly about Christmas
presents, drew two selfcocking revolvers
and began shooting at his wife, son and
daughters.
He hit his son twice in the arm and
stabbed him in the back with carving
knife as he was trying to escape from the
house.
The light went out in the midst Of the
shooting, and the three daughters got out
side and hid themselves, one of them with a
bullet wound in her shoulder.
Then Reher turned on his vile and
stabbed her repeatedly with the knife. Aft
ward he went in search of his daughters,
and not finding them came back to the
house. His wife had crawled away, but he
followed her and stabbed her again and
again.
Finally he returned to the house and
hanged himself to a beam, at the same time
putting bullet into his head.
The son managed to get to neighbor' S
house two miles away and give the alarm.
When the neighbors arrived they found
Reher dead, his wife just dying and the
three daughters still hiding. Physicians
were summoned from Fergus Falls and
Wahpeton and dressed the wounds of the
two injured ones. Henry Reher the son,
will probably die from his wounds ana loss
of blood.
The family has some property, but is a
rough lot. The son has served term in
the state prison for horse stealing and the
girls do not bear all envlable reputation
The family had numerous quarrels, and
Reher went away Il Jew weeks ago with the
intention of not coming back. He went to
Elizabeth and opened the shoe shop where
he had since worked. He was perfectly
sober at the time of the murder aud no
body can tell what his object was unless it
was simply fit of desperation or frenzy.
He went home with the intention of do
ing the deed, because he took with hin
from Elizabeth the rope with with which
ne hanged himself, three revolvers and a
butcher knife. No inquest will be held.

MISS FANNY RrsENTs AN INTRUSION

Miss FANNY REsENTS AN INTRUSION =
a ycuug uale jagusr arrived at PhilaGel !.
phia from South America on F iday and was;
taken at ouce to the biological Garden.
Head Keeper Bierne ordered thst the ieguar
ahould be put into the same cage with the
female gaur, Fanny. He was transferred
10 the shifting boz, which was carried 10
Fsnny's cage. Nj Bjerne thought the two
anims!a would meet or the most friendly
tei ms The male jsguar had hardly enter
ed Fanuy's cage when she spfapg On his
back with grcwl and began to chew him
up. The msls is only about balf Fanny's
sizo, but hs had pluck eoough for six. He
turned on Fanny, and the two fastened their
teeth In each other, and the fur began to fly.
Shr!eke end growls filed the air, and it
looked as if one if not both of the jaguars
would be killed. The noise reused every
anima! in the lion and tiger house, and they
made no end of noise The lion and loress,
George and Minnie, whose cage is next to
Fanuy's, took the fight as personal stfair
and bounded against the bars OF the cage
with great ia7y. Ii took eight keepers to
drive the lions back into their cage and
separate them.
After the jaguars had been fighting for
over an hour the keepers succeeded in driv-
ing the male into another cage. Beth anil
mails were covered with blood and nearly
dead. The male, however, had the wort OF
the fight.
