SIOUX FALLS, S. d.. March 26.--(Speciss
Telegram. 1.-The Big Sioux river is on its
spring rampage and thus far about 1000
acres of valuable farm land in the vicinity
of Sioux Falls has been flooded. The first
effects of the high water were felt in the
vicinity of the municipal water pumping
station north of the city and the water
climbed the banks of the river rapidly.
During the night the high water reached
the city An island at the foot of Ninth
street is completely inundated.
A. c. Collins, a pioneer farmer living on
the river west of town. has had numerous
experiences with floods on the Big Sioux,
but he states he never saw the water
come up at such rapid speed as during the
present flood. He, with a number of men,
were at work In a field close TO the river
bank. He left the men temporarily to look
after some other work and the next he
knew the men were being chased from the
field by the water. In a remarkably short
time the river rose nearly two feet. The
water came down the river like a great
tidal wave and was, soon out of the banks

Gently was reieased from the penitentiary

the murder OF his father, IL guiltless
Archer says that he would have appeared

tiary
The Collins murder trial was one of the
most sensational ever held in Kansas. j. s.
Collins of Topeka, a wealthy real estate
man, was murdered in his home on May
13, 1893 supposedly by robbers. His son.
John Collins, then a student at the Kansas
university, was arrested charged with the
murder and was convicted upon the testi-
mony of two negroes. The state charged
that Collins had murdered his father to
gain an inheritance that he might marry
a wealthy young woman. Collins always
stoutly maintained his innocense and It
was shown at the trial that he and his
father were on the most friendly terms
An effort will be made TO secure a par
