is ruined and freight cars and rail-
road yards carried away. The burst

up, freight cars ere strewn along the
Medicine bottom, and the fine roller
mills are ruined: Curtis lake is nearly
empty and flood Of water is running
down the Medicine valley, carrying
destruction in it's mad rush. -Four Or

below the dam is large 1t has been
raining all day, and the water has
been rising in the lake, so much ap-
prehension is still felt, not only for
the mill, but for other property. With
tic continued rain and the immense
volume of water now rushing down
the Medicine valley the dam and the
Burlington bridge at Cambridge are
sure to go out in a few hours.

dered While Asleep.
Minneapolis, June 4.-Mrs. Martha
NJ. Elias and her daughter, Annie NJ.
ELIAS, were found dead in bed by u
police officer, both women bleeding
profusely from gulshot wounds in the
head. The noise Of the shooting at
tracted the neighbors and the police
man. At first it was supposed that
the woman had killed the daughter
and then herself in fit of mental alb
erration, but after tho bodies had been
removed to the county morgue and
washed, Coroner Kistler discovered
cuts on Mrs. Elias face which throws
suspicion on the case, and would make
it seem that a third party was impli-
Gated in the terrible deed. The trag-
edy occurred at 1927 Nicollet avenue,
in the tWo-story frame building on
the corner of Thirteenth street. Both
bodies were found lying in bed, side
by side. Mrs. Elias was about tifty-
five years old, and her daughter twen-
ty-six. They lived alone, and so far
as is known are the only members OF
the family. Mrs. Elias had a son
killed at Rochester a few years ago
in railway accident, and another son,
Loren, who was released from an in
sane asylum April 80.
l.. d. Elias, the son, was taken in
custody shortly before Z o'clock last
evening. He had returned to the scene
OF the tragedy, and was intercepted
by Z: A. Maule, night apothecary for
the Hart pharmacy. and G. r. Little
held, who had been placed in charge
OF the premises by the coroner. The
police were telephoned for, and the
captive was taken to the central sta
ton. He denies having committed the
murder, although admits having slept
at the house the night Of the tragedy.
