The tragic death Of the aeronaut
brought the holiday festivities at Elec-
trio Park, Plaintleld, ILL.,. to a sudden
close. The great crowd that but a
moment before had been cheering the
daring explorer of the clouds stood
still, chilled by the sight they had
witnessed while the limp body was
lifted out of four feet of water in the
Dupage river. where it had fallen.
Every bone in the aronaut's body
was broken.
Darnell's spectacular ascent and ira

merchants day-,Ioliet's annual bust

the city had gone to the park to take
part in tho festivities. The neronaut's

caught their breath at his daring as
they saw the body suddenly revove

NORTHERN CI7IzEKS EXCITED
THREE MYSTERIOUS DEATHS
WITHIN YEAR STIR PEOPLE,.
corpses Discovered Under Strange Cir
cunstances-Bured by
County.

Sawyer, Mimi, July 26.-Both In
dams and settlers in this territory are
wrought up over the deaths of Otto
Holt, John Sarri and John Orni under
peculiar circumstances on their home.
stead, and there is much speculation
as to whether the men were murder.
ed or died accidentally.
All the deaths were under the strang.
est surroundings. Holt was found dead
near the Iverson postoitice, Sarri's
dead body was discovered west of
Sawyer depot and Orni was found dead
west of Sawyer one and q half miles.
Citizens say that great mystery sur.
rounded the finding Of the bodies and
that all three were buried at the ex.
pense of Carlton county and that the
coroner's verdict of found dead or &C.
cidental death was based on very lit.
tie investigation and without a real
public hearing.
March IA, 1910, Henry sarri, lonely
homesteader, was found dead on the
Northern Pacific railway track, one
mile west of Sawyer depot The cor.
oner said it was very clear case OF
accidental death, being struck with a
passing train. Sarr's body was taken
to Cloquet and buried at the expense
of Carlton county.
The night before the find on the
track, citizens aver that Sarri and an
other man had been drinking heavily
and the death at least was suspicious,
and Sarri was a man not likely to end
also Indian and under prohibition laws.
| John Orni, his brother, a Fnlander,
came and occupied the deceased mans
homestead, and April 7. just a year
afterward, he was found dead by a
! fisherman in his cabin. The corpse
| was found on the floor, the floor of the
rude cabin covered with blood The
f; night previous a man had been with
Orni, staying there all night, and next
morning Orni prepared the breakfast,
which the two ate. Then the visitor
went two miles west of Sawyer for his
clothing, which he had left at another
homestead. When the visitor returned
he found Orni deao on the cabin floor
and a gun alongside the body.
| Citizens say few formal questions
! were asked by the coroner and Orni's
body was taken TO Cloquet and buried.
Otto Hollis death was even more
suspicious, and occurred about four
weeks ago. He lived in cabin three
miles west of the lverson postoilice.
Holt was a bachelor and was known
to carry about $500 about with him in
bills secreted about his clothing His
cabin was found or fire by a stranger
and when the fire was out, the charred
body of Holt was discovered, but what
had become of the money he generally
carried Oh his person, was never dis
covered. He also was buried by the
county authorities.
In consequence of these three mys
ferrous deaths inc settlers in these
sparsely populated places are full OF
dread, and they aver that full and
careful investigator would reveal that
these three men DID not die accidental
ly, but by the hand OF some william
