He was in the custody of Capt. Reynolds,
formerly OF the Brooklyn detective bureau,
who lost his place through his failure to
prevent Miller from leaving the city.
Miller was arrested in Canada OH clues
picked up few days ago. Miller was in
good humor. He did not seem at all put
out or disturbed by being in the hands Of
the police, or in the slightest fear as to the
future. Chief Devcry was very anxious to
find out something of Miller's doings since
he left the city, but Miller positively de-
clined to say a word in that direction.
According to a statement made by Chief
of Police Dcvery, Captain Reynolds found
Miller in Montreal. Reynolds refused to
go into details of his search and discovery
of Miller. He said that several days ago
he was furnished With clues of Millcr's
whereabouts and was instructed by the
chief of police to get him if he could. In
following up the clues Captain Reynolds
said he ran across a man who knew Miller.
The movements of this man he followed

Winter Storm Does Much Damage
In Illinois, East of st. Louis.
st. Louis, NO.: The town of Collins
Vile, twelve miles from st. Louis, on the
Vandalia railroad, had a narrow escape
from destruction by a tornado Feb. 8.
Nine persons were injured in the immedi-
ute vicinity, some fatally, and there was
much damage to property. Miners who
live on the outskirts of town lost much by
the wind. A group Of three fine residcn-
ces was blown to splinters. The injured
are:
Paul Quarandhi, aged 81, perhaps fatally.
Otto Odderhole, aged is, serious.
Sophie Fix, aged IL, thought fatally.
Newton Anderson, not serious.
Theodore Lawrence, internally.
Frank hobart, seriously.
Son and daughter of Frank hobart, Sc.
verely.
About 2:S0 a. m. the storm struck a mile
south of Collinsville. The first house de-
mollshed was that of Frank hobart. He,
his son s~d daughter were buried in the
debris some time before they were rescued.
From this place the wind passed a quarter
OF q mile west of Collinsville and the last
trace of it was observed at Hightsvillc, a
manufacturing suburb, a mile away.
After the hobart house a group of three
dwellings was felled. They were occupied
by John and Paul Marquette and Philip
Crossan and families. The occupants cs-
capped injury except john Marquette.
Beyond the Vandalia track stood a
group of large frame houses occupied by
the Lawrence, Odderhole and Fix FAM
lilies. The storm leveled them, nothing
being left a v a mass of tangled wreckage.
1t was here that Odderhole and Lawrence
and the members of the Fix family re-
ccived their injuries.
Considerable damage was done in vari-
Gus parts of st. Louis and vicinity between
2 and 4 a. m. by a windstorm, reported to
have had a velocity of sixty miles an hour,
of the nature of a tornado. Previous to
the windstorm a terrific thunderstorm
ragged for several hours, rain falling in
torrents.

MELLErre HOMESTEAD CASE
Judge Bennett Holds that the Deed
to Taylor Was Good,

LL
The case between the state of South Da-
kota and Mrs. A. c. Mellettc relative 10
the title of the Mellettc homestead proper
ty in Watertown, which has been before
Judge Bennett in that city, has been de-
cided as follows: Judge Bennett holds
that the deed from w. w. Taylor to the
state OF this property is good, in-view of
the fact that Mr.. and Mrs. Mellette re-
ceived SIS, 200 on the same and kept it. In
December, 1885, the state surrendered to
Mrs. Mellctte the note of ISIS, 200, originally
given by herself and husband as security
on the property described and Mrs. Mel
lette took this note as satisfaction in full
release of her claim TO the property. In
this transaction Mrs. Mellette received an
allowance of $1,000 for the homestead.
Had this not been the finding of the court.
the property would have been held subject
to a $15, 200 mortgage in favor Of the state.
A brief review of the case shows that
Mr.. and Mrs. A. C. Mellette borrowed
$15, 200 of w. w. Taylor and they placed.
in w. w. Taylor's hands a deed describ-
ing the Watertown homestead and other
property. This deed was given as a mort
gage, with the understanding thatit was to
be returned when the money was paid.
August s, 1895, w. W. Taylor decided this
property to the state and also turned over
to the state SIG, 200 in notes signed by Mr..
and Mrs. A. @. Mellette. In December
e. /. Crawford, an attorney general,
turned this note marked Cancelled and
paid over to Mrs. Mellette, explicitly stat
ing to her that her property, the Water
town homestead, and a few lots at Lake
Kampeska, had been taken in payment of
about $4,000 OH this indebtedness. The
board of appraisers had fixed the value of
the property at this amount, and this,
with other property owned by y. c. Mel
lette, was taken as full payment for the
note of $4,000.
