MYSTERY SHROUDS
DEATH Of HERMIT
JOHN :. SEXTON FOUND MUIR
DERED IN HIS RUDE CABIN
NEAR SAEBOYGAN.
LIVED YEARS AS RECLUSE
Was the First School Teacher in
SheboYgan County and Served as
Postmaster-Dea Man Repuied
Wealthy. but Robbery Not Motive.

Sheboygan. - Mystery surrounds
the death of John L. Sexton, the
hermit of Elkhart Lake" who was
found murdered in his log cabin,
three miles from this city.
Robbery did not prompt the deed
for scattered about the table were
many gold coins, probably part of the
hefmit's hidden hoard, for he was
reputed to be wealthy. Only an old
fashioned silver watch was missing
This may serve to bring the murderer
to justice.
Although he was known to every
resident in Sheboygan county and to
hundreds who visited the summer re-
sorts at Elkhart lake every summer,
little was known about the hermit's
life.
He was over 81 years old, and for
nearly forty years he lived in his
rude log cabin. His venerable ap-
pearance and eccentricities brought
hundreds of visitors to his door, with
whom he would talk on all varieties
of subjects except the reason for his
retirement from the world.
His cabin was scantily furnished,
but piled tier upon tier were thou
sands of newspapers which he had
collected for years. Some issues
bore dates of fifty years ago.
Old residents remember that be-
fore his sudden desire to shun hui
man companionship he had a promis-
ing future. He was the first school
teacher in Sheboygan county, and
also served as justice Of the peace
and postmaster.
Sections body was discovered by
John Flach, neighbor. The old
man was lying in a chair, his head
lying on a table nearby. His skull
was almost crushed to a pulp, his
throat cut from ear to ear, and
deep cash in his right hand showed
that he had grasped the murderers
weapon in an attempt to save his
life. After committing the crime
the murderer locked the door of the
cabin.

and mineral rights, water power and
other natural resources and for the
leasing of land to private persons,
was also killed.
The senate refused to recall from
the assembly the Hurlbut bill reduc-
ing express rates in the state 20 per
cent. The senate previously refused
to concur in the bill.
The senate concurred in the Bisch-
Ter bill requiring automobiles and
motorcycles to be registered annual

An AbsorbineIy Interesting Kind 10
the Very Fashionable Bead
Bag.

II any girl wants to undertake some
rather elaborate but beautiful sum-
mer work, an absorbingly interesting
kind is the very fashionable bead
bag; also purses and card cases of the
same kind OF course most people
who have these charming things buy
them and think it would be far too
much work for clever girl, nor is it
too difficult. Even the inVeterately
sporty" girl takes rest now and
then from active amusements, and if
she once learns to do this bead work
she will become more and more fasci-
mated by it. She need only give her
formerly idle hours on the porch to 1t,
and before long she will have beau
tiful bag or purse.
1t is necessary to take few les
sons if one has never done any Of the
work, but the fancy work shops that
sell the materials give the lessons, too.
Some Of the designs used are most ar
tistic, some are quaint and suggestive
Of the days of our grandmothers. One
can choose between flowers and more
formal and conventional designs and
between those that match certain
gowns and those that are neutral
enough to go we'll with several.
Newer than the bags (but no more
attracttve) are the fiat card cases COW
cred entirely with bead designs. The
girl, who makes one of these during
the summer has a most beautiful
Christmas gift ready for her mother
or older sister.
