The Cause of the Crime.
ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Aug. 10-The mvs-
terry of yesterdays tragedy at Fairhaven
has been cleared up. 1t was Jack Press
ley. the hired man, who shot down his
benefactress, Mrs. Joseph Sylvester. and
then wounded himself to throw suspicion
on imaginary burglars.
Presley is now in Jail here and has
told the whole story. The neighbors be-
heVed without question the burglar story.
and secured the country round about
for some trace of the two men. A pair
of unfortunate tramps were arrested and
held for Identification. But when the Of
ficers came they saw at once inconsist-
encies in the story. Armed with this sus-
picion they finally squeezed the truth
from Presley.
1t was the hired mans infatuation for
Maggie Sylvester, the eighteen-year-old
daughter, that involved him in the crime.
He went to the girls room armed with
the chloroform. When she screamed it
awakened her mother, who came to her
room. The man, supposing the figure en-
tering the doorway to be that of Mr..
Sylvester raised his gun and fred. He
explains that he only wanted to brighten
the intruder away, so that he could es-
cape, the door being the only means of
egress. But the charge of shot hit Mrs
Sylvester in the right side and she now
lies at the point of death. Presley SAYS
he ran out of the room and out doors,
where he found the old man with a re-
volver. This he seized, saying he was
after the burglars, and dashed away He
claims to have stumbled, and the revol-
yer going off, hit him in the leg. 1t is
believed by the officers, however, that he
shot himself to divert suspicion and
make his story good.
Presley is a man Of twenty-seven and
a native of Ontario. Mrs. Sylvester is in
a very critical condition and her recovery
Is proble1natical.
Maggie Sylvester, the daughter, says
she does not know who the man was in
her room. She did not recognize him.
She was awakened from sound slumber
by the choking sensation: caused by the
fumes of chloroform and at once cried
out. Her mother came and was shot in
the side. Her mother cried oGt, Jack

Have Proved n Disaster.
DEADWOOD, S. D., Aug 1O-ManIy
Weaver, a fOurteen-year-Old boy, has
proved himself hero by saving the lives
of large number of excursionists
While the Burlington train, carrying
ninety-three eXcursionists, mainly school
teachers, was entering Spearfish canyon
the boy jumped out on the track and by
hard work succeeded in Tagging the
train.
A rancher from the valley had at
tempted to cross a railroad bridge fur
Their up the canyon on horseback, and his
horse had fallen through the titles and
could not be released. A1cii.,
When the passengers learned of the
deed of young Weaver they made him
the hero of the day. A fitting speech
was made by President Brown of the
State Teachers association, which caused
the boy to become much embarrassed.
He was presented with a $40 bill, which
he at first refused to accept.

bathing m Elephant.

II there is one thing which an ele-
plant enjoys above all things else, it is
his bath. In India elephants are used
to draw the great guns of the heavy
batteries They take their baths in the
barracks, at the troughs where they
drink, and they behave much better
about it than many children. They
have to lie down and be patient while
they are washed by their attendants
They turn themselves about very
promptly to suit their convenience
The attendant rubs the hide with a
piece of stone instead of sponge, and
if the stone slips out of his hand the
elephant politely picks it up with his
trunk and hands it back. After they
have been well scrubbed the elephants
give themselves shower bath, using
their trunks to dash the water upon
themselves, and they can hit any part
of their bodies with ease.
