Hundreds Of Acres Flooded In Dodge

The highest water ever known in
that vicinity covered all the level Dor

from Fremont hundreds of acres of
land were under water. Farmers were
compelled to move their families from
their homes, and cattle that depended
for their food on the pastures had to

edented. No one remembers ever hay-
Ing seen so much water on the ground
at any one time. The city suffered
some from the heavy rainfall and the
drainage question has been pressed

without u Word of warn

A Chicago. August 30, dispatch says:
Without a word Of warning two men
were killed and two others wounded
by hold-up men at the barns of the
Chicago City Railway company, Sixty
first and State streets, at an early hour
today. The shooting was done by
three men, who escaped after securing
$4,000. Three of the men who were
shot were working in tho cashiers
Office and the other was a motorman
asleep in the outer Office. The men
in the Office were shot before they were
aware of the robbers presence, and
the motorman was killed as he was
rising from a bench where he had been
asleep. The dead:
Frank Stewart, assistant clerk in
cashiers office. shot through body
while standing at his desk. Died half
an hour later.
John X. Johnson, motorman, shot
through head, died instantly.
Injured:
William Il. Edmond, receiving clerk,
shot In left thigh while at his desk;
will recover.
Henry Bichl, shot in the head, will
recover
The robbers took no chances. but
disposed Of all the opposition of the
employees before they entered the Office.
Choosing the time when the employees
were busily engaged in balancing up
the receipts of the night, Just after the
last conductor had turned in his money
and left the barns, the robbers sudden
ly appeared at the receiving window
and began shooting.
The first intimation those inside the
Office had that anything was wrong
was when they heard the shots. The
first bullet fired struck Stewart. and
he fell to the floor without a word.
Bichl and Edmond. who were sitting
near Stewart turned to see what was
the matter, but before they could leave
their chairs they were rendered help
less by the we'll directed bullets of the
robbers. Johnson, the motorman, who
was asleep or a bench in the outer
Office, hearing the noise. started up to
60 to the assistance of his companions,
but was shot and killed before he could
get on his feet. Making sure that all
opposition had been removed. the rob-
bers then broke open the door of the
cashiers Office with a sledgo hammer
and secured $4,000 in bills which was
lying on the desk. They then made
their escape.
Four men were arrested three hours
after the robbery. on suspicion OF be-
ing implicated in the crime hut they
have not as yet been identified.

0anamatdispatch of August 81. Gen.
nal Huktas. c~ommandant at Fort

a,ander a all the government forces
IN and around Panama, Is at this time
the only oficer to whom the govern

AS for the naval force, 1t Is prac-
tically controlled bt Americans or pro-
American Englishnen. They form tho

The REVOLUTIONARY feeling at Panama
is not of late growth. 1t has been TO-

Colombian congress was convened az
Bogota. Despite lhe optimistic us
matches that wereI received from the
fJJnited States concerning the canal

lbe ratified. The pbwer OF money In q
colombian congress Is too thoroughly
understood. and fhen 1t was known
that the transconaneDtal railroads OF

ratification of the treaty 1t was taken
for granted that the treaty would DC
dedicated. 1t was calculated that the
defeat of the treaty would make no Dig
deficiency in the treasury OF the trans

So far as the question OF the sue

concerned. there can be only mi con-
clusion. The position of the isthmus
is unassailable. is not ap~proachapie
