More Deaths.

epidemic at Augustana college have oc-
CURED. L. M. Peterson, student in the
theological seminary, died Sunday, and
Dr.. Vessel held an autopsy on the re-
mains, and pronounced his death the outs
come of breathing the sewer gas. The
doctor found the work of the plumbers,
he informs the Dispatch, a perfect death
trap, without fresh air pipes or any pro-
lection to the inmates. If they had pur-
posely tried to murder the occupants of
the rooms they could not. in his opinion.
have done better job.
Charles A. Seaberg, aged fifty-three
years, died at the college on Sunday
morning of malarial fever superinduced
by sewer gas. The deceased and his wife
have had charge of the kitchen at the
college for the past year. He was for
merly connected with the Moline Pipe
Organ company. This makes four deaths
resulting from the unhealthy atmos-
phere rendered so by the deadly sewer
gas.
MIR Ekman, the tenor singer, is still
very low, and another student named
Berg is not expected to live.
The faculty had decided to resume
classes yesterday morning. and an at
tempt was made in the Latin class, but
only one member turned up. So the class
was dismissed and the professors weni
home in despair of getting an attendance

THE sUsENMIEHL SUICIDE.
The Coroner's Verdict Returned-A
Letter Found Among the Papers OF
the Deceased.

The COrOner's Verdict Returned-A
Letter Found Among the Papers OF
the Deceased.
The coroner's jury in the inquest on the
body of Fritz Susenmiehl. Abe Scott coun-
ty recorder who suicided Sunday morn
ing, returned its verdict this morning. 1t
simply returns a verdict of death from
suicide. but presents no additional facts.
Among other evidence submitted to
the coroner's jury was a box of papers
belonging to Mr.. Susenmiehl which Aud
itor Campbell had discoYeie1 in Mr.. Susen>
miehl's Office Two letters and some
private papers were found in it. The
letter was addressed to Peter Susenmiehl.
This the jury would not open. The
other was addressed, For the Public. P"
Coroner McCortney opened this. and it
proved to be the last will and testament
of Fritz Susenmiehl 1t was also some
what in the form of letter. In it he
limited at some secret which only one
other besides himself knew, but that per-
son would never reveal it. 1t also stated
that his wife would soon go TO Europe.
He bequeaths to his wife the amount of
property which the law prescribes, and
directs that his three sons are to have his
life insurance. and ends by bidding last
farewell to friends and the world. This
letter or will bears date of July 80, 1889
From this it was evident that the deed
had been premeditated for months. ut
that he did not intend to do it until his
wife had gone to Europe, as she was ali
ready to start and would have gone next
week. but the trouble of Saturday night
seems to have hurried his desperate de-
termination.
The funeral will be held tomorrow af>
