IInf WHOLE STATE IS SHOCKED


dlkA q AlA0lA AAS gEHssf.s
hiRhly esteemed throughout q great
commonwealth, died suddenly at the
family residence, 2030 Queen avenue
south, Minneapolis. yesterday morning.
Mr.. Evans death, came with q d
ness that was startling. The commune
ty in which he has lived for seventeen
q was shocked by the information
that "Bob' Evans had been summoned
by death only four months after his be-
loved wife had passed to the greatsbe-
yond. The most intimate friends OF
Mr.. Evan had known Of his severe
physical troubles, and these were not
"a greatly surprised, as were h many
thousands Of citizens that knew him
only by reputation, but who knew him
sufficiently, to appreciate what an ex-
cellent citizen had passed away.
Suffered for Years.
MI. Evans was forty-seven years old.
He had been troubled for years with
asthmatic and other serious affections.
Mr.. Evans returned only a few days
ago from Lake Ida, near Alexandra,
Mimi, where, with Senator Charles M.
Fairbanks, Congressman f. 9. stevens
Congressman Loren Fletcher and 9TH
ers he had spent the greater part OF
week in fishing. The outing seemed TO
do him good, for at a dinner given at
the Minneapolis club Thursday he was
especially jovial. Then on Saturday
evening he was with a company OF
friends at. the same club, and part1ci-
pated in a dinner with his characters
tic jollity and good cheer. He went
home about IL o'clock Saturday night.
His sleep was not sound, and he
Arose From His Bed
a number OF times during the night.
Shortly after z o'clock he was taken
seriously i'll. With great effort and v
identity with great pain Nj. Evans
managed to reach the bedchambers OF
his daughter. Miss Evans realized only
too we'll her. fathers condition. He
could not speak to his child, but the
agonized look was sufficient. Anxious
for fresh Dir he made another heroic
struggle and managed to reach h
front veranda. Mr.. Evans had hardly
passed through the front. doorway
when he fell seemingly lifeless. Med
ical aid was hastily summoned by the
neighbors, but there was nothing that
medical science could accomplish.
Mr.. Evans was born in Troy, Ind.
March IS, 1854. He was admitted to
the bar in 1876. Later he practiced his
profession in Vincennes until 1884, when
he D.
Removed to. Minneapolis
His first law copartnership here was
with Judge Daniel Fish. For more
than a dozen years Mr.. Evans was q
member Of the law firm Of Keith, Ev-
ans, Thompson & Fairchild. His great
and absorbing interest in political af-
fairs, and his energetic and jealous
participation in city, state and national
campaigns brought him c~onspicuously
to the front. He was appointed United
States district attorney about four
years ago. He had been talked about
as gubernatorial timber for many
years. but never saw his way clear to
making. an effort for the nomination.
Mr.. Evans yielded to great pressure
last winter when he entered the famous
senatorial race that resulted in the se--i

ELEMENrs WE'RE FURIOUS.
The Total Damage Done Was Fully
9125,OOO.

the ICt0l Dnm0&e ZONE was ~
4125,OOO.
Minneapolis, Aug. Is. The damage
done by the terrific wind, rain and hail
storm here Sunday evening was much
greater than at first supposed. A con-
servative estimate would place. the
damage at $125, 900. This represents
hundreds Of losses. The great major
ity Of losers are persons at whose
homes or places of business window
glass was broken. Very many chArch
windows, some of them expensive
memorial windows, were damaged. The
most important single item is at the
Great Northern grain elevator at Lyn-
dale avenue north. The building was
damaged to an extent that will require
$780, 600 to $4,000 to repair, and wheat
stored in the elevator was damaged 70
an extent that will probably bring the
total damage to $45.0 900 or $4,000.

II Is very well known that the In
Guenza Is not an exclusively modern
complaint, but l am not sure whether
q curious reference to 1t by Bower, the
continuator Of Fordun's chronicle, has
been noted. Writing of the year 1920
he says that among those who died in
Scotland that year were Sir Henry st.
Clair, earl Of Orkney; Sir James Doug
lns of Dalkeith Sir william de Aber-
nethy, Sir William de st. Clair Sir Will
liam Cockburn and many Others all by
that infirmity whereby not only great
men, but innumerable quantity Of the
commonalty, perished, which was vul-
carly termed lie Quhew lie Quhew a
vurgaribus dicebaturl" Bower, XIV,
82) Now, "quh" in Scottish texts usu-
ally represents the sound of "wh"
properly aspirated) Therefore 1t
seems that In the fifteenth century the
influenza was known as ''the whew,"
just as 1t is known In the twentieth
century as "the aue."
l have refrained from quoting at
length Bowers explanation of the
cause of the epidemic but there seems
little doubt that tho disease was iden-
tlcal with that with which we are so
grievously familiar. - Notes and Que
