stone wall at the Moline water power for
two days, at 1850 cLrried away large
section of the bulk head which
runs across the south channel OF
the Mississippi between Rock Island
arsenal and the main shore, This bulk
head was CONSTRUCTED Of heavy blocks Of
Nauvoo stone, and was 700 feet long. Five
feet of this wall has disappeared and it
is believed the rest has been so badly dis

The wall cost the government
100000. The tide of water coming to
the city front of Rock Island carried out
TO midstream $4,000 worth of logs from
the Upper saw mills and the
freight warehouse of the ST. Paul
packet line. All trains are
abandoned on the st. Paul road be-

\ TRIPLE TRAGEDY.
4 Lawsuit Leads to Horrible Crime.

4 Lawsuit Leads to a Horrible Crime.
BEEoHER CRY, H., May IO.-A triple
tragedy vas enacted in this county near
here last evening. Henry Miller and
William Oderholt, farmers, had a lawsuit
over trivial matter, and Miller, the
loser, swore he would get even. After
the trial Miller, true to his word, shout
dered his rife and went to the field
where L. c. Kinsey, one OF
Oderho'ts' witnesses, was blowing.
Miller first killed Kinsey's horse, and
then shot Kinsey twice, inflietipg mortal
wounds. Then the latter went to a field
where Oderholt was at work. 03erhOlt's
horse was first slain Icy Miller and then
Oderholt himself. It is supposed that
hlnsey and OderhOlt attempted to shield
themselves behind their horses.
When the revenge was completed
Miller proceeded 10 his hut
which served as his home, and after set
ting the place on fire blew out his own
brains. His blackened corpse was fouad
IN the debris. Beside him laid two guns
and bowie knife.

Murderer Zeph Davis Hanged OH the Same
GalIows From Which the Anarchists We're
Swung Off.
CHICAGO, May 12.-The horrible and
unjustlfiable MURDER OF little Maggie
Gaughan was avenged to-day, by the
hanging of the colored murderer,
Z-ph Davis. The execution took place
in the northeast corner OF the county
Jail, at 11:17 d. m, and on the same gal
lows from which the anarchists were
swung off few months ago. Davis was
the first colored person to suffer capital
punishment in Cook county.
Davis was restless during the early part
of the night, but shortly after 1 O'Clock
he dropped into heavy slumber and did
not awake until s O'Clock this morning.
A minister administered spiritual couso-
lation and at O'clock he breakfasted
quite heartily. AS the fatal hour ap-
proach3d Davis was quite calm, aud ap-
parently his good nights rest and the re-
ligious consolation afforded him, stilIed
his nervousness and gave him courage TO
meet his death without finching.
The crime for which Davis was exc
cu5ed was committed about 7 O'Clock on
the morning of February II, in Greene
Bros factory, his victim being M 4ggie
Gaughan, pretty little girl about Is
years old. Z-ph was employed at the
factory. where Maggie also worked, as
foreman. He was busy about the place
as usual that day until four O'Clock
when ne was sent out on an erran d.
Just after he left the mangled body
of Maggie Gaughan was found in a closet
in the rear of the building
concealed by pile of rags. The body
was mut1Iaoed in horrible manner, and
by its side was found hatch-t covered
with blood. Circumstances all pointed
TO Davis as the murderer, and he did not
return to the factory. He was arrested
near Forest, ILL.,, the next day, and when
taken to Chicago at once confessed tn the
crime, and said that he had killed Mag
gle Gaughan because she refused to obey
