A FAMILY is SLAIN,
The Triple Tragedy Near PoseyvilIe
Indiana.

Indiana.
There is a strong belief among the
farmers living around Poseyville, Ind,
that Stephen Glawser did not kill his
wife and mother-in-law, Mrs. Eliza
beth Kinchloe, and then commit sui
eide, but that the three were murdered.
Many of the neighbors say young
man living in the neighborhood had
often threatened to kill Glawser and
his family. The young man has disap-
peared, and this fact strengthens the
theory. The remains of Mrs. GlawseI
and Mrs. Kinchloe were buried in the
same casket in the Poseyville Gem
etery the other afternoon. Over 1,00C
curious spectators were present. There
was no service of any kind at the
grave. The remains of Glawser were
taken in charge by his father and
were buried in secluded spot on his
farm. The crime, whoever committed
it, was terrible one.
A farm hand named Ramsey, living
near the Kinchloe farm, discovered the
building on fire and gave the alarm
With a dozen farmers he rushed to
Mrs. Kinchloe's house. The doors of
the house were barred and the win
dows securely fastened. The men bat
tered down the front door with axes
and entered the burning building. In
one corner of the house lay the bodies
of Mrs. Kinchloe and Mrs. Glawser.
The body of the mother was lying
across the body of Mrs. Glawser. The
bodies were badly charred and could
not be recognized. The rescuers took
the bodies from the building and
rushed back to look for Glawser. They
found his body on the bed and by his
side was shotgun. The clothing had
been burned from the body. Glawser
was 81 years old, and came from one
of the most prominent families in
Posey county. Mrs. Glawser was 18
years old, and would soon have be-
come mother. Mrs. Kinchloe was 40
years old. Glawser is said to have
told some of the neighbors a week ago
that he could not live in peace with
his mother-in-law, and that he was 60
ing to kill them. Those who heard
him make the threat did not believe
he would carry it into execution.

DRAMATIC EXECUTION.

The people of Servia have no objeo-
tions 10 the infiction of capital pun
ishment upon women; or, If they have
objections, they were forced to swal-
low them when Nine. Jevrem was ex-
ecuted for murder recently. She was
neither hanged nor placed in the cleo
trio chair. She was placed against
blank wall and shot. This happened
in Serviah village near Prokuplje. A
Greek priest named Irie Jevrem had
been killed. His wife and a peasant
with whom she had become infatuated
were found guilty and condemned to
be shot. On the day of their fate the
two culprits were taken to the pub
lie square and faced firing squad OF
soldiers with loaded rifles. Beside the
squad stood a huge mass of spectators
from far and near. The execution
lacked no element of the dramatic. The
man wept and lamented and begged
for mercy. The woman was calm.
How we are admired" she said with
contemptuous look at the vast
throng. The squad had made ready to
fire, when an aide came daShing
through the square ON horseback. His
coming merely prolonged the strain
upon the two criminals. The man en-
braced his knees in the hope that he
brought a pardon: the woman turned
more pale, but was silent. Mercy
it was, but only partial. The aide
bore reprieve, indeed, but only for
the man. She begged her companion
to remain with her to the end and 20

octopus below him, jumps overheard,
and brings him in triumph to the sur
face.
The tentacles of the fish, as scien-
lists have long since affirmed and Mr..
Verrill knows from repeated expe-
riences, are used only to grasp objects
with, and each is provided with nu-
merous suckers that act like the bit Of
leather on string that boys fasten to
the sidewalk. The mouth of the devil
fish is under it's body, and it is armed
with powerful beak, which is the
most formidable weapon of offense that
this satinish fish possesses.
Nevertheless, to catch devil fish in
this way requires not only nerve and
skill as swimmer. To dive twenty
of thirty feet after one Of these ugly
creatures-the ugliest thing Of it's size
that exists-and struggle with the bare
hands against it in its natural element
is feat considerably out Of the or
binary. One must dive straight for the
body and endeavor to grab it from the
top. More often than not the creature
will see you coming through the water
and dodge by padding away with it's
long arms When the dive is made
from behind, Mr.. Devilfish, out Of the
range of his piercing, bulging eyes, the
chances are good for catching him.
But you must grasp him firmly with
your hands at his throat near his neck,
otherwise he may slip away, as he will
try to do at first, or possibly he will
strike a dangerous blow with his
strong beak, like a birds, which he
will try to use as soon as he finds that
he is caught. To do this he tries to
turn over and grasp his opponent with
his long, sucking arms to give him
courage. If the divers grip is good it
is now only question Of rising to the
surface ana getting into the boat with
the poor sea devil. This is not diff
cult matter for, while the struggles of
the victim are fierce, he soon tires, and
even the suction of his tentacles can
be readily overcome. Mr.. Verrill de-
clares this kind Of devil fishing to be
the most exhilarating sport known, for
there is not only the excitement of
danger, but the combat, with the hor-
rible sensation in feeling eight cold,
writhing arms of the grewsome sea
spider clutching ones body and stick
ing to it in death struggle under the
water. When he gets in the boat the
"scuttle" keeps up the fight and
strikes furiously at the woodwork with
his parrot-like beak, clutching every
thing within reach with powerful arms,
which fasten themselves to the sides of
the boat.

on the Road to Wealth.
Capt. George f. Ellis of Santa Bar
bara, who left this city last Tuesday
for Alaska, has had the experience OF
being saved from death by a present
iment to become a Klondike million
aire. Four years ago Ellis was a poor
man and gained a livelihood as master
of small craft employed at sea-
otter hunting along the California
coast. Today he owns several OF the
most valuable claims on Eel Dorado and
Bonanza creeks, and he is known to
the world as one of the miners of the
far northern gold fields to whom for
tune has heen kndest. And this far
flight from the deck of steam schoon-
er to the owners staterOom of the fin

craft, is all because he obeyed a myste-
rious mental warning that kept him,
in 1895, from becoming a member of
the crew of the schooner E. e. Web
ster, that was lost with all on board.
Ellis at that time was financially

lily to support. He secured a position
of otter hunter with Liebes & Co. of
this city, and signed contract to go
to the coast of Alaska on the Webster.
For several days before he was to start
the presentiment haunted his waking
and sleeping hours that the voyage he
was about to make held death for him.
He is strong, fearless man, but final
ly he yielded to his fears and secured
release from his contract. The fate
that overlook the Webster entirely vim
dicated the occult admonition that had
reached Ellis, for in a terrific gale off
Lazy harbor the schooner founderel
and the twenty men on board perished.
Ellis worked his way to Alaska, toiled
over the icy trails, and reached the
Yukon in time to locate some Of the
richest claims in the Klondike. Dur
ing his recent visit to San Francisco
he brought his family here from Santa
Barbara and established them in a
home worthy his present affluenca.
Ellis has returned to the Yukon
country to look after his interests
there. He will be absent a year, and
will then come back to his family AMI

Gives Him Lots of Opportunity to Dis
play Science. Strength and Nerve-Yale
Student Invented the New Method.
Special Letter.

Devil fishing is quite the newest and
ut the same time the most curious and
exciting sort of sport. The ethics Of
the game are, first, that you must catch
the creature alive, and, secondly, that
your sole equipment be a bathing suit
and a fiat bottom boat. Indeed, one
may do very well at the sport and leave
out the bathing suit. This method of
devil fishing Is Yankee invention, and
was used for the first time last summer
by Mr.. Clarence Verrill, a Yale stu
dent, on a visit to the Bermudas. A
dozen splendid specimens of the octo-
pus or devil fish which Mr.. Verrill has
just presented to the museum of Yale
university are the results Of his novel
fishing trip. These huge sea spiders
measure from four to five feet from
tip to tip and are of a grayish color.
They were black and larger when Mr..
Verrill caught them, but they shrink
and change color out of water The
horror that the devil fish inspires
makes Mr. Verrill's way of catching
him all the more interesting, for he
goes out in his boat, waits until he
spies the long, wriggling arms of an
