Waterloo, May 12.-The chief of po-
lice and his deputy here had an excit-
ing chase yesterday after a man NAM
ed Henry Rooster, who had been quar-
antined for smallpox and had broken
quarantine the day before. The man
was captured in the vicinity of Dewar.
where he had encountered a number
of persons. In the main. however, he
had avoided people by going thru the
fields and woods and it is not thought
many people were exposed Rooster
appears to be in a state bordering on
nervous prostration and it is probable
that he will be taken to Dubuque for
treatment as soon as the smallpox
quarantine on his home can be raised.
He gave the officers quite chase, but
they are determined to put a stop to
the practice of disregarding quarantine
regulations for contagious diseases.

Another Accident at the Old
Mill Dam in the River at
Iowa City
skIFF OVERTURNED IN CURRENT
Miss Elizabeth Ogden, Of williamsburg,
and w. N. Thornburs, of Abel, Lose
Their Lives in the Treacherous Cur

the University.

Iowa City, May 12.-Drifting una
ware into treacherous current near
the old mill dam, a mile above this
city, while boat riding on the Iowa
university Miss Elizabeth Ogden, of
Williamsburg, and w. n. Thornburg of
Adel both of this state, met death in
the waters of the stream, when their
skiff caught on part of the ruined mill
dam and overturned last last night. The
bodies of the young people have not
yet been recovered.
Miss Ogden was charming girl in
her senior year in the College of Lib
eral Arts. She was popular in all cir
cles of the university, a member of the
Hesperians and other societies. Thorn
burg was a senior in the College of
Medicine. Both would have graduated
from the university this year.
The accident has cast shadow OF
gloom over the university.
The place where the accident oc-
Cured is particularly treacherous
one. In former times mill was oper-
ated at the spot, and high mill dam
was erected. The mill has long been
abandoned, and a narrow gap was rent
in the dam, thru which the waters
of the river rushed with great swift
ness. When the passage could De
made without danger. when caution
was used, it is thought that in the
darkness the nearness to the dam by
the boat riders must have been unob-

not been found up to o'clock altho
a thousand people are aiding in the
search. The father of the drowned
girl and both parents of the young
man arrived this morning. Dynamite
is being used in an effort to raise the

away. was directly in the path OF the
bullet. At first he thought that the
bullet had passed thru the hand, 50
severe was the shock. hasty exam
ination revealed the fact that the bull
let had merely passed thru the fieshy

Perkins had been in apparent COOL
health, visiting with neighbors and
doing some work in the garden in the

that her death occurred at the same

marriage to Mrs. Cora Boyer, at the
