A Night of Horror on Lake Mich igan That Proved Fatal to Three of the Victims. WERE LEAVING SQUAW ISLAND LIGHT.

Th* Party, Malting for th* Mainland, Wm Overtaken by a Squall, Wblcn Over* turned Tbalr Boat—A Nerer-to-be Forgotten Twenky-Four Hour*’ Experience In tba ley Water. . Milwaukee, jDec. 17.—A sentinel special from Manitowoc, Wis., yesterday, said: The steamer Manhattan arrived here to-day, with W. H. Shields and William McCauley, lighthouse keeper! on Squaw island, and the bodies ol Mrs. Shields and her niece, Mrs. Mary Davis. They were picked up Saturday afternoon in the lake, where they were found lashed to an overturned yawl. They had been thus exposed since Friday, when they were capsized by a squall while sailing from the island to the mainland. Lucien Morden, of Montague, Mich., was also an occupant of the boat when it capsized, and was drowned before he could be lashed to the overturned craft. The two rescued were badly frozen, and it is thought they may have to suffer amputation of their lower limbs. They were taken to the Holy Family hospital here, where the following story of their terrible experience was told by Mr. Shields: “Upon receiving orders to close the lighthouse, for the season, we prepared to leave the island together with our heiper, Lucien Morden, of Montague, Mich., Mrs. Shields and Mrs. Mary Davis, my wife’s niece. We i left the island on Friday for the mainland, seven miles distant, bound for i Harbor Springs. When out only a I short time a heavy wind struck thk j sail of our boat, capsizing it, and ; throwing us till into the lake. We all ! succeeded, after much hard work, in | reaching the boat. McCauley and my- | self, after much labor, finally sueI ceeded in lashing both the women to | the boat and then ourselves. Moiden, i the helper, had, in the meantime, be- ! come delirious, and refused to be i lashed or attempt to save himself,and | soon after fell off the boat and was 1 lost. My wife and her niece, McCauley ! and myself, lashed and clinging to the I boat, were tossed.about and suffered ; terribly from the cold and seas, which ! washed over us. i "About seven hours after the accij dent happened, my wife succumbed, | being unable to longer endure the ter- | rible conditions which the exposure to winds and seas caused. Mrs. Davis, after holding up for several hours after my wife’s death, also succumbed, and only McCauley and myself remained alive, with the two dead women lashed by our sides, floating around the lake with no human being in sight.” JEALOUSY^LEADS TO CRIME; A Discarded Suitor Attempts to Kill . the Girl He Saya He Lovei. Chicago, Dec. 16.—Eight years ot patient wooing reached a climax yesterday, . when A. M. Pell, an artist, confessed, in a letter to the police, that on the night before he had tried to kill the object of his vain adoration. He made the effort to murder, he wrote, to prevent her from giving her love to another man. Miss Annie Stowesand, 1641 Whipple street, is the girl whom Artist Pell courted in vain. When he first saw her she was shopping in a State street store, and was then only 15 years of age. Pell was struck by the girl’s beauty, and he resolved to become acquainted with her. The man’s attentions were not disagreeable to the girl, and soon the two became friends. For years thereafter Pell met the girl each evening as sheleft her Work and walked home with -her. During this time he often told her of his love, and he proposed marriage, but she refused him. Pell was nearly fifty years old, and the girl frankly told him that she would not marry a man of his age. Last winter the lover was appointed as an artist on the decorating staff for the Paris exposition, and left for Paris in the spring. He remained away until seven weeks ago. On his return Pell began a seareh for Miss Stowesand, and as soon as he met her he again proposed marriage. Again he was refused. So persistent had his attentions become that the girl now refused to again see him. Friday night Pell called at her house, and when she came to the dooi he dragged her out on the porch anc struck her on the temple with a revolver butt. She fell senseless, ani Pell disappeared. Yesterday morning a letter, presumably written by Pell, was received by the police of the West Lake street station. In the letter the man rehearsed his love for the girl, told ot his disappointment because she would not marry him.
