the flood situation which prevailed some

by reports from the waters Of the upper
Mississippi and its tributaries, which
are rising at a rapid rate with every
indication that immense volumes of

rose Park, was arrested Saturday after

Kueneth. an aged farmer Of Melrose
Park. on the night Of Oct 26, 1892.
The last seen of Kueneth alive was on
the afternoon. of Oct. 25, 1892 The
crime has been a mystery, and not even
the faintest clue to the murderer was
obtained until Friday, when a neighbor
of Mrs. Domke informed the police that
Hermann Domke. the woman's hus-
band. had said she was guilty of the
murder.
The principal evidence against the wom-
an came from her husband. She denied
having anything to do with the mur-
der, although she admitted being
away from her home the night Of the
crime. She is a large. masculine-ap-
pearing woman, and is said to have had
nine husbands before she married
Domke.
