HUSBAND SLAIN BY RIVAL

Banker Shot by Physician He Finds With His Wife. Crescent City, 111., July 13.—J. B. Saylor, vice president of the First National bank here, was shot dead by Dr. W. R. Miller. Saylor went to his home and found Dr. Miller there with Mrs. Saylor. Saylor had been a spectator at a ball game. After greeting the banker, Miller proposed a card game, but Saylor became angry and accused Miller of being too friendly with Mrs. Saylor. Dr. Miller, it is stated, then drew an automatic revolver from a pocket and fired. Several days ago, Dr. Miller sent his wife and family away. Coincidentally Mrs. Saylor sent her seventeen-year-old daughter on an out of town visit.
