HELENA'S DANGER.

High Wind Forces the Water Over the
Levee and Floods the City--Serious Break
In the Levee Just Below the City and Sc.
riOus Damage Feared.
MEMPHIS, TENN, Special from Helena,
Ark: A heavy gale prevailed here this faorn-
ing, the wind blowing from the south at the
rate of IS to 40 miles per hour. During the
prevalence of the wind the waves on the river
were three to four feet high and poured over
the levee in front Of Commercial Row at a
fearful rate. The greatest damage occurred
at the corner of Main and York streets and it
was with difficulty the flow over the levee at
that point could be prevented Between 10
and o'clock the city fire bells were vigorous
ly rung and merchants and Others closed their
places OF business and FASTENED to the scene
of threatened danger. The wind soon died
away and by 2p. m. the surface of the river
was calm. In the viclty of the Iron Noun.
tain & Helena depot an immense force of hands
are engaged in strengthening the levee which
is considered in very weak condition. The
railroad track is considerably undermined for
distance of several hundred yards, and grave
doubts are entertained as to the levee at the
upper end. The Williamson place two miles
below the city broke about o'clock in two
places. The breaks aggregate about 800
yards in length. The water is pouring
through at rapid rate. 1t is thought it can
be kept out of Helena by closing the culvert
in the embankment of the Midland railroad
which is being done under supervision of the
city authorities. Several houses outside the
levee have doated off to-day. The levee about
the city is weak, but the hops Is entertained
that the water can be kept back In that direc-
at noon without landing being prevented by
the high wind.

SHOT HER FATHER.

Star thing Revelations In the Rock Rapids,
lowe, Tragedy.-Maggie Lanahan Ao-
knowledges TO Killing h er Father---And
duplicates Her Mother and Sister, and.
the Lover of Her Sister in the Terrible
Deed.
ROCK RAPIDS, Ia, Feb. 16.-Before tho cor
oner's jury, which is investigating the MUIR
der of j. W. I.anahan, who was killed while
sitting near his window Saturday, Maggie,
his Oldest daughter, testified that she did the
shooting. She also implicated her mother,
her sister Anna and the latter's lover, young
man named Birch. The girl testified that it
had been agreed between them some time ago
to "put the old man out of the way" at the
earliest opportunity. Birch furnished the
pistol and when her father came home from
farmers club meeting and was about to sit
down she stepped up behind him and fired,
killing him instantly. She then arranged the
body 80 as to appear as If come one had shot
him through the window, while her sister
Anna went ont and broke the glass. AS to
the motive for the crime Maggie testified that
Birch wanted to marry Anna and her father
refused. He also did not provide well for
them. The mother and other daughter cor
roborated this testimony. Birch at one time
lived with the family and was driven from the
house by Lanahan, who suspected him with
criminal intimacy with his wife and daughter.
All parties implicated are under arrest and the
greatest excitement prevails.

gle have made full confession. Maggie said
she did the shooting and broke the window
from the outside. They commenced to plan
the murder in November last. To-day Annie
was on the stand all the forenoon and testified
Birch planned the murder and wanted Maggie
to do the shooting, but did not want that he
should be known as having had anything TO
do with it. Part of the plea was that after
the excitement had subsidized, Birch was to
come there and take care OF the family. The
verdict of the coroner's jury was to
the effect that Lenahan came to his death from
a revolver in the hands OF Maggie Leuahan,
and that her mother, her sister Annie and
Hurburt Burch are accessories before the fact.
The accused p arties all waived examination
and were held TO await the action of the grand
