BALTIMORE, Nd. Feb. 81 - Reports
from Western Maryland state that the Po-
tomac is slowly falling after haytsg/6een
twenty-seven feet above normal. As the
angry waters recede news of thrilling in
cidents and narrow escapes from death
are recorded.
Two deaths were today added to the
three of yesterday. making five in all as
a sacrifice to the raging waters in the
Potomac Valley. In Carroll County last
night Howard L. Hess. prominent young
business man, in company with conf
panion, attempted TO drive across a
stream that empties into the Monacacy
River.
The water was high. but they had two
strong horses, and would probably have
crossed had their wagon not been struck

Body of Belsar Dugan Dis
covered With Threat Cut.
HAD BEEN A FARM LABORER.
Believed to Have Helped Batson in the
Commission of the Crimes and Then
to Have Been Murdered il Quarrel
Over the Proceeds.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 27.-The facts in
regard to the murder of the Earl family
near Welsh. La, are slowly leaking out.
Last night a seventh body was found in
the neighborhood of the Earl farm of a
man whose throat had been cut. a
The authorities were surprised at first,
for all the Earls-Mr. and Mrs. L. H.
Earl and Ward, John, Lemuel and Fay
Eari-were accounted for as dead. An
Investigation showed that the murdered
man was Belsar Dugan. and that he was
lring for Ward Earl at the time of the
harder.
Was a Tramp Laborer.
This fact was known to but few persons,
as Dugan was d tramp laborer who had
bee picked up by Earl. He was present
ID Ward Earl's house during and after
The murder and told callers that Earl
had gone to Lake Charles. He undoubt-
edly helped Batson in the murders.
The two men expected to get large
sum of money, but were disappointed, as
the Earls. although well to do, kept all
their money in the bank. They took
mules over to Lake Charles to sell them.
They were seen to leave the farm to-
gether with six mules and horses. Batson
reached Lake Charles alone.
The men probably quarreled over the
small amount of money they had taken
only S40-and Batson killed Dugan during
the quarrel and concealed the body in q
thicket.
Profitless Crimes.
He drove on to Lake Charles and tried
to sell the animals in several stables
but became frightened, believing that he
had aroused suspicion, and left them un-
sold and started for his home in Missouri
having just enough money to pay his fare
there.
The murderers failed to reap the har-
YES, of their crime. One is dead and the
other under arrest for seven murders,
which did not yield enough money to take
him out of danger.
