LOGS AND ICE.
The BoOms Break and 100000
Feet Of Logs Go Down.

rect OF Logs Go Down.
On Tuesday a big ice jam was formed
at Durnham's island. several miles up
the river from Single creek, and yes
terday it broke. The ice came crashing
out of the jam with the roar of a mighty
cataract, and in jiffy the boom at that
place was broken. Ice and logs were
sent WhIrling down the river toward the
city. All yesterday afternoon the steel
arch bridge was lined with people
watching the logs and chunks of ice
rushing past in the water below
the foam and spray over the
falls. Secretary Whitney, of the
boom company, hurried to the river front
as soon as he learned of the breaking OF
the log jam. He made the trip to the
island and had the felicity of seeing the
end of 4 log jam, and when he returned
he stated that he did not think that
over 2.00O, 900 feet would be carried over
the falls.
The division booms up the river gave
way when the logs and ice came down,
and their contents fell right in line.
The boom at the Akeley mills gave out
in several places and let more logs out,
but the main boom remained practically
intact. The sides of the river, accord
ing to Mr.. Whitney. were solid, and,
unless something unforeseen occurred,
he apprehended no great exodus of logs.
The river presented picturesque
sight from the steel arch bridge. A
serpentine channel had been forced
through the main bed of the river, and
the logs and ice chunks glided in and
out around the curves, still keeping on
toward the falls. Near the Plymouth
avenue bridge a channel had been
broken through, the ice running almost
directly across the river, and ObStruct-
ing the path of the logs. For a time it
looked as though there would be lam
at that point, and the exodus averted,
but it was not tor long, for the sharp
angles of the channel were soon round
ed, and the army of logs and ice slid
around like so much grease. According
to the boom cOmpany'S record the
average amount of logs that passed
under the sSeel arcn bridge each hour
was 300, 900 feet.
The river rose considerably yester-
day, and the inhabitants Of the flats
were just little frightened. They
feared a repetition of last springs
trouble. A jam of logs was formed near
the pumping station at Single Creek
during the early afternoon, and the
engineer in charge telephoned to Wa
ter Supervisor Mcconnell for instruc-
ttOns. He was told to keep an eye on
the water and report if there was danger
of an overlooking of the station.
At II o'clock last night the engineer
Of the North side pumping station re-
ported that the river had fallen over
foot. All of the logs that broke loose
had gone down, and the river was clear.

MURDERED THE GIRL,

MORGANFIELD, KY, April 5.-There
was a highly sensational affair in this
county last night and this morning.
Miss Abbie Oliver, of Sturgis, Union
county, the beautiful young daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor Oliver, was ruined
about eight months ago. Henry De-
laney. young drug clerk of Sturgis,
was charged with causing her downfall.
He denied it. and both parties sought
legal advice. but no proceedings were
had in court. Last nlgilt.abOut 9 O. clock,
the mother of the girl entered Delaney's
place of business in SturglS, and, at the
point of her pistol, forced him to ae-
company her to a carriage outside, in
which her husband and daughter were
seated. The four drove to Morganfield,
a distance of fifteen miles, and at 3
O'Clock license was secured and the
couple married. The party started home,
but when at Teerhim, about three
miles from Morganfeld, four armed
men on horseback surrounded the car
raige and began shooting. After the
first shot Delaney jumped out of the ve-
hicle and ran to the attacking party,
who were supposed to be his friends.
and the firing continued. Miss Oliver
was shot through the head and her
father i'll the face and right arm. Mrs.
Oliver alone escaped without wound.
She ran the team at full speed for a
mile down the road, and turned at
farm residence. The attacking party
followed, shooting at every jump. The
girl, who would have given birth 10 a
child soon, was fatally wounded and
died at o'clock this morning. MIR.
Oliver is fatally wounded. Mrs. Oliver
recognized the party and warrants of
arrest for four prominent young men
are being issued. The families are of
high standing, and sympathy is with
the divers. MObbing is feared. and
the whole country is wild with excite
ment.
Mrs. Oliver this afternoon made affi-
davit that she recognized George De-
laney, Frank Hall and George p. Henry
as three of the men, and they were ar
rested together with Henry Delaney.
! They may be lynched at any moment.

Said That the Jumbo, Casino and
Comique Will Be Investigated.

COmiQue Will Be Investigated.
Yesterdays session of the grand jury
was uneventful, and devoted wholly to
disposing of the remaining twenty-four
municipal cases. 1t is expected that all
of these will be disposed of by tonight
at the latest, when the jury will be en-
abled to give its attention to matters Of
more general public Importance.
1t is stated Oh firtt-class authority,
and, in fact, came originally direct from
member of the grand jury previous to
its assembling. that some attention
would be paid to few of the notorious
dens of iniquity which exist In the city,
principally the Casino, the Jumbo and
the Comique, which have general
reputation of being the three toughest
joints in the city of Minneapolis, and in
one or the other of which rObberies of
the unsophistieated are of almost
nightly occurrence. The juryman in
question also remarked that if the city
authorities would not pay any attention
to these dives 1t was just about time
some other authorities did, the places
being a blot on the city's fair name. He
had investigated matters himself. and
knew what he was talking about, he
said.
At the close Of the days session the
jury reported no indictments found
against the following: Emma Mar
graft, John E. Damn, Hugh SteinweitZ,
Daniel Mccormack and George How

he had incurred needless expenditures,
and that the estate had not made
money. The court finds, however, that
Mr.. Gallagher incurred no needless eX-
pendtures. or, rather, conducted the
business to the best of his ability, and
should be allowed pay for his services.

The Lowell school building, at the
corner of Hillside and Logan avenue.
burned last night. The fire caught at
1880 somewhere IN the lower floor on
the south side of the building, and
before the engines could arrive
the entire structure was ablaZe.
The interior was as dry as tin

the flames to devOur everything save
the walls. Although a third alarm was
sent in and all tile apparatus responded,
the streams of water had no effect on
the furnace save TO fan it with more
vigor. Nothing is left of the school.
Other than the four walls it stands a
hollow hulk. The building was three
stories with basement. TWAS built in 1886
at a cost of $40. coo. but recent improve
ments brought the value up to $50. 900.
The insurance is $1,000 or the building
and 81 800 on the furniture. There were
twelve rooms. including six recitation
rooms. The seating capacity was SIC.
The principal was Miss Jennison. The
jantOr said that there had been no fires
in the building since II O'CLOCK noon
Yesterday. lie is at a loss to under
stand how the fire could have started.
