A Chicago, August no, dispatch says:
Without a word of warning two men
wcro killed and two others wounded
by hold-up men nt the barns of the
Chicago City Hallway company, Sixty
first and State streets, at an early hour
today. The shooting was done by
three men, who escaped after securing
$3,000. Three of tho men who wcro
shot were working In tho cashier's
ofllce and the other was a motormnn
asleep In the outer oilier. Tho men
in theblllce wpre shot bcfoic they were
aware of the robbers' presence, and
the motormnn wns killed as he was
rising from n bench where be had been
asleep. Tho dead:
Frank Stewnrt, assistant clerk In
cashier's ofllce, shot through body
while standing at his desk. Died half
an hour later.
John H. Johnson, motormnn, shot
through head, died Instantly.
Injured:
William D. Eilinoml, receiving clerk,
nhot In left thigh while at his desk;
will recover.
Henry Dlchl, shot In the head, will
recover.
Tho robbers took no chances, but
disposed of all the. opposition of tho
employes beforo they entered the ofllce.
Choosing tho time when tho employes
were busily engaged In balancing up
the receipts of the night, just'nfter the
last conductor had turned In his money
nnd left the barns, tho robbers sudden
ly appeared nt tho receiving window
nnd began shooting.
The first Intimation those Inside the
oftlco hnd that anything was wrong
was when they heard the shots. The
first bullet fired ntruclc Stewart, and
be fell to the Iloor without a word.
Ulchl and Kdmond, who were sitting
near Stewart turned to see what was
the mnttcr, but beforo they could leave
their chairs they were rendered help
less by the well directed bullets of tho
robbers. Johnson, the motorman, who
was asleep on a bench in the outer
ofllce, hearing the noise, started up to
go to the assistance of his companions,
but watt shot nnd killed before be could
get on his feet. Making sure that nil
opposition had been removed, tho rob
bers then broko open the door of tho
cashier's oftlco with a sledge hammer
and secured $3,000 In bills which .was
lying on tho desk. They then made
their escape.
Four men were urrrMcd three hours
after the robbery, on suspicion of be
ing Implicated In the crime but they
have not as yet been identified.
FARMS UNDER WATER
llnutlrcili of At-rr l'looili-il In limine
Con 11 1 7. N..
Tho highest water ever known lu
that vicinity covered all the level por
tion of Dodge county lying next to the
creeks nnd drainage ditches the latter
part of last week. In every direction
from Fremont hundreds of acres of
lnnd were under water. Farmeis were
compelled to move their families from
their homes, and cattle that depended
for their food on the pastures had to
go hungry. Tho condition was unprec
edented. No 0110 remembers ever hav
ing seen so much water on the ground
at any one time. The city suffered
somo from tho henvy rainfall and the
drainage question has been pressed
homo to the authorities, but the situ
ation In Fremont was many times bet
ter than In the country.
Around Leavltt and Ames the water
overspread the whole country from a
depth of six Inches to a foot nnd a half.
A high grade west of l.eavltt which has
never been overflowed before was under
water. Those two towns are the cen
to rof the beet raising section, and It Is
believed that tho crop Is' parctlcally
ruined. The submersion will cause leaf
blight, root rot and the destruction or
tho sugar content. In addition 10 lllng
up mud on top of the beets, North,
west and east of Fremont the flood
overspread the country along Uawhlde
creek and several drainage ditches. The
Elkhorn river overflowed and the Platte
s1ept awayoo asrnorathelHve. aurter
was very high. Grain !u the shock and
in tho stack was swept away.
The fears of extensive damage to the
corn crop havo not been without basis.
Reports that came lu were to the effect
that many fields-have been and are still
partially under water. The nop was
bent down a great deal and mud washed
over It. Where tho fields are level
they can hardly be expected to dry off
Inside of three or four days, and some
will not be free of water and mud for
a week to come. This will, hold the
crop back from ripening, and a good
deal of It Is certain to bo caught by
frost.

Tho villi of Helrut afterwan's visited
Vlvo'Couhiil Mngelsscn, expressed re
grets for the outrage and ordered
measures for the arrest of tho perpe

Consul had been killed arose from a
mistake In a cipher telegram.
Snys a Washington dispatch: A de

sen nt Helrut, Syria, who was reported
to have been assassinated last Sun
day, developed when Is became known
that the repoit was Itiiorieet. and that

This Information came to the stntt

States Minister l.clahman at Constnn

Mr. I.eishmnn followed closely on the

prominent officials of the government.
The dispatch from the minister wns
communicated to the president at once
