Apprehensions are felt among persons
living along tho Rio Grande that on
account Of snow melting in the noun
tains tho river will overflow its banks,
submerging tho country for miles and
washing away the small towns. The
fall Of snow in tho northern mountains
has been extremely great, and the
snow 10 reported to be from four to rix
feet ON the level. The Rio Grande
also derives its freshets, to great ex-
tent. from melting snow in the San
Luis Basin in Colorado, and it is stated
that the basin this winter is almost
level full of snow. The threatened
districts are principally in the coun-
ties South Of Santa Fe.

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatches - the H.sALp

CHICAGO, February S.-Amos ].
Smell, millionaire, was found mur-
dered in his house this morning, with
bullet-hole in the left breast and
one at the back Of his left ear. The
murderers had effected an entrance
by saving out panel Of the back
door. Smell was one Of the largest
real-estate owners in the city, and all
the business was transacted in the
basement of his own house, in which
were several safes. The theory in
regard to the murder is that q care
|filly planned robbery had been
arranged. 1t was known that during
the fret part OF each month large
sums of money, proceeds from rents,
were kept in the house. 1t is believed
that
THE BURGLARS VERB At WORK
At the safe when Smell heard the
noise, went down and surprised the
thieves at their work. His body was
found in the hall just at the entrance
to his Office.
The occupants of Snell's mansion
last night were the owner, aged "a,
two servant girls and two small chill
dren. Detectives are at work on the
case, but as yet have discovered no
clue rs to the identity of the murder
ers. Smell was one of the wealthiest
and best known citizens of the West
Side, having been connected with
Chicago's history great many years.
He leaves q wife and two married
daughters. His fortune, at the time
of his death, amounted to $3, 600 900.
AN IMPORTANT ARREST.
A young man carrying large bum
die was arrested on the streets this
evening as Q suspicious character.
The bundle was found to contain half
a dozen each Of the following articles:
dark lanterns, chilled augurs, slung
shots, steel knuckles, two ounces dy-
Mantle, the eame Of giant powder,
besides q number of weapons and
barglars' tools and skeleton keys.
He gave the name name of Chas WV.
Benedict, 10 years old, from Aarshall-
town, L., and said that three other
men, the Oldest Of whom is but Fl,
all residents Of Marshalltown, agreed
to form q gang OF burglars, and he had
come to this city to buy the necessary
implements. The Chief Of Police Of
Marshalltown replied, in answer to
telegram, that the men were known to

Developments Regarding the
Metropolitan Dank.
C1nc1NxATI, February 8. - Louis
Krohn, who served for four years as
Vice President Of the Metropolitan
Bank, says that he knew nothing of
apy cause of embarrassment until in
formed by the bank examiner that the
reserve was impaired. This was
made good, and he then thought all
was right, but finding tho bank ex-
aminer, told him there was syndi-
cate among the directors, that had
borrowed and loaned the banks
funds in q shameful manner to the
amount of between $500, 600 and
5000 900. Khron says that he saw
Means and the other directors named
as belonging to the syndicate, and
insisted upon having better securi-
ties for their loans. Next morning
Means and DeCamp turned over
what appeared to be good securities.
Krohn then got some assistance
from other banks, but it was impos-
sible to stem the tide. He AYERS that
the truth was kept from him until it
was too late to prevent the catas-
trophe.
