The two dams at St. Hilaire,
Minn., on the Red Lake river,
were strained to the utmost to
day by tlie abnormal rise in the
river and it will not take much to
put both of them out, according to
information received late tills aft
ernoon.
The rock-cribs have been prac
tically all washed out and the
river banks undermined. The
river has not risen noticeably to
day, but with only slight addition
al pressure it is feared the dams
will go out.
The rough bridges over the
dams have already been washed
away.
At Tliief River Falls, Minn.,
very little change is reported.
The crest of the flood appears to
have been attained and the dan
ger seems passed.
A coffer dam is being built In
the mill race at the Hanson &
Barzen flour mill which was
washed out when the upper por
tion of the Kretschnaar dam was
blown out yesterday to prevent
the total destruction of the dam
and a disastrous flood.
Concrete will be put in at this

The Km Lake river and the
Stillwater river at Red Lake
Falls, Minn.,' Were in about the'
same condition today as yester
day. The Stillwater river was up
'half an Inch. Precautions have
been taken against a flood, but
this danger will soon be over, it
Is believed.
Grookston reports that the
flood stage appears to have readi
ed Its limit, and fears for the
safety of the big dam at that
point, have lessened.
Twenty-four hours more of
sunshine would do away with all
danger. It Is believed, but a show
er at. this time in all probability
would result in a disastrous con
dition of the rivers of this part of
the country.
The Red River and the Red l^ake
River at this point was three feet and
Six-tenths of an inch higher this morn
ing at 7o'clock than it was at the
same time yesterday morning.
The Red river made further pro
gress in flooding its banks in that
period, and wa.ter Is now lapping at
the threshold .of several homes at the
foot of Belmont avenue, near the riv
er. Some of the famlltes have moved
out, but most have remained in the
hope that the river will soon subside.
Water reached the floor of the home
of Oscar Knudson and several of his
neighbors.
Drives Flooded.
The river has gone ten feet further
Inshore at Lincoln park, making It
very dangerous in some parts. All the
river roads In the city parks are dan
gerous. There ]s three feet of water
on the road in Lincoln park and the
road in Riverside park is also danger
ous. At Central park it 1b vary dan
gerous and automobiles and drivers
of other vehicles are warned not to
pass through the low section of these
places.

The river was still rising today, and,
according to Sandy Slattery, in charge
of the government river guage at this
point, will probably continue for three
or four days before subsiding, depend
ing on whether or not more rain falls.
A further rise in the river will be
certain to damage a number of shacks
built near the stream.
Marion, N. D., June 29.—A hail
storm which competely destroyed
crops in a strip of territory 40 miles
long and 12 miles wide visited this
section Sunday evening, betwefen 5:30
and fio'dock. The storm appears to
have orginated in Stutsman county,
Bduth of Jamestown, and swept in a
southeasterly direction.
The hail which was of small size
averaged about the size of a pea and
was accompanied by a heavy wind
which did almost as much damage as
the hall. Windows were broken and
trees were blown down and various
outbuildings turned over.
At Nome and further east, the wind
was even more severe .than here.
Buildings of large size were wrecked
there. This is the second time with
in two years that this section has been
thus visited. Last year the territory

Washington, June 29.—By agree
ment with the German foreign office
the state department made public last
night the text of the note sent on June
24 by .the United States, asking Ger
many to reconsider her refusal to set
tle by direct diplomatic negotiations
instead of by prize court proceedings,
the claim presented on behalf of the
captain and owners of the American
ship William P. Frye, sunk with her
cargo of wheat by the commerce raid
er Prinz Eltel Friedrich. Ambassador
Gerard cabled that he had delivered
the note last Saturday afternoon.
The American government declares
that inasmuch as Germany has admit
ted liability for the sinking of the
Frye under the treaty of 1828, prize
court proceedings are unnecessary and
not binding upon the United States.
Aside from the question of how the
Indemnity should be paid, the note
brings out clearly the refusal of the
United States to accept the conten
tion that Germany has a right to stop
the carrying of contraband by Ameri
can ships "by the destruction of the
contraband and the ship carrying it."
While no mention of submarine war
fare was made in either, the last Ger
man note or the present reply, occa
sion was taken to deny this right,, be
cause of a belief that admission of it
now might in the future be used as a
Justification for submarine attacks on

following note to the German minis

I have the honor to Inform your

to my government your note of the 7th

sented In my note of April 3 last, on
behalf of the owners 'and captain of
the American sailing vessel William
P. Frye in consequence of her destruc

Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
In reply am instructed by my
government to say that it has careful

imperial German government for urg
ing that this claim should be passed
upon by the German prise court in
stead of being settled by direct diplo
matic discussion between the two gov

it regrets to And that It cannot con

imperial German government.
As pointed out in my last note to
you on this subject, dated April 30.
the government of the United States

under discussion was the method
which should be adopted for ascer

to be paid under-an admitted UaMlity,

German government now desires to

Curious Crowds Who Flock
to Death Farm Stopped
in Time.
OFFICIALS PROBE
HORRIBLE MYSTERY
Inquest Will Probably be
Held and Remains Sent
Before Experts.
Sheriff A. F. Turner and Coroner
Robert McLean of Gilby this morning
went to the Niagara murder farm and
commenced an investigation into the
mysterious deaths of six people on the
place of Eugene Butler, a. recluse, who
died in the state asylum for the in
sane in 1911.
Th* skeletons, ,which were unearth
ed last Friday, are at present lying in
a box in the barn at the farm. The
arrival of the authorities was none too
soon, however, for scores of persons
had visited the scene of the horror
and carried off particles of the bones
as souvenirs. The authorities had
great difficulty .stopping this ghastly
practice, but succeeded in saving the
greatest portion of the skeletons.
May Call Jury.
Following a careful examination the
authorities will decide whether or not
a coroner's jury should be called and
an inquest held in order to determine
how the six deceased persons met
death, and fix the blame.
The bones will in all probability be
sent to the university for expert exam
ination in an effort to determine just
how the deceased met death and how
long ago the tragedy occurred.
Certain of His Guilt.
Few persons are of the opinion that
any other than old Eugene Butler per
petrated the horrible series of mur
ders, dumping the bodies one on top
of the other in a hole in the ground.
The investigation and the Inquest, if
there is any, will be merely a formal
proceeding to carry out the intent of
the law.
The belief now prevails that five of
the skeletons found beneath the resi
dence are those of two housekeepers,
formerly employed by Butler, and
their children. The body of the sixth
skeleton, found by itself under the
center of the house, is now believed
to have been the murdered remains of
one of Butler's hired men.
