An Associated Press dispatch from
casper, Wyoming, states that the great
dam at Alcoya and the steel bridge
across North Platte river structures
erected by the reclamation survey, were
carried away by food on tho 27th

statements into the same space than
are contained In the above. In tho
first place, the government has not con-
structed q dam In North Platte river. A
contract has been let for this work
and the contractor erected a temporary
embankment to divert the stream from
its chanel IN order TO lay foundations
for the Pathfinder dam. This structure
was swept away by food, but aside
from delaying work no serious damage
resulted. The government erected "a
wooden bridge across the river near
the dam site and not a steel struc-
ture, but the engineer in charge in his
report of the flood makes no mention OF
its having been destroyed. The bridge
cost only $4,000 and II 1t were swept
away this would represent the total loss
sustained by the government as the
contractor must stand the loss Of tenn

SIX FOREIGNERS ARRESTED.
Duluth. MINI, March 29.--Six for
eigners who are thought by the police
to have occupied the house in Minnea-
polls where six Bulgarians were found
murdered early Tuesday morning, were
arrested here today.
One man who talks English says the
party left on Monday the house In Min
neapolis where the murders were COM
mtted and that at that time there were
only six men in the house and they
were all alive and well. He says he
knew but two OF the men there at
that time. His name is Kuzman Scku-
lon and the woman arrested with the
party Is his wife
Sckuloff admitted he Is the man who
rented the house and took the party
there, but he maintains that every
thing was all right when he left there
with his party. Some are Bulgarians
and some Macedonians.
All were well supplied with money,
Later five other men were arrested In
connection with the case.
Sckuloff says when the party entered
the Minneapolis house Il numbered 49,
10 OF these came to Duluth leaving six
there. or these six, four were brothers
OF the name of Dimitri. The impress
sion that the Dimitrls were father and
sons is wrong. The DImitris went to
the train Monday and were then alive

the best OF feeling In the house. The
10 who came to Duluth We're on their

der, but when asked for theory
shrugged his shoulders. threw his hands
up and said he did not know.

in the house he said, are prayer books
