Hunted at Mill City
Minneapolis, Sept. 28.--Police and firemen dragged the Mississippi river Monday near the Northern States Power company dam for a suitcase which leaked a trail of blood to the river's edge Saturday night.
Possibility the blood, which formed a distinct trail from street car tracks near Central avenue and second street to the river, was of human origin, spurred the hunt for the suitcase.
The trail apparently was left by a youth who hurriedly left the street car when informed by the motorman, Albert Lindahl, that the suitcase he carried was leaking.
A sample of the blood was analyzed at Minneapolis General hospital by Dr. L. A. Whitesell, who said he was certain it was human blood. However, further tests were being made Monday at the University of Minnesota.
