rev, Aug. town, a settlement just south of Rawhide. wae wept by a 10-foot wall of water following a cloudburst in the hills to the north tonight, and 130 buildings were partially or completely deetroyed. It is reported that two women and four children are missing, but up to a late hour tonight it was impossibla to verify this report, as everything is in darkness and confusion. The cloudburst occurred on the summit of the low Mlle to the north of the camp at 6:30 o'clock this evening.

In a few minutes a three-foot wall of water was, pouring down the elope, covering the three miles from the summit to Main street with the speed of a railway train. The flood rushed into the street, which lies in a hollow and forms a general drainage charnel, and every buainess house on the east aide was flooded to a depth of from one to four feet. Buildings Carried Several structures were torn front their foundations and floated some distance down the street, while the crest of the flood W88 covered with furniture. animals and all sorta of debris. Gathering force as it poured down the channel, the flood swept Into and over Squattertown, half a mile further down.

The water formed a wail It) feet high as it crashed Into the frail etructures, inhabited for the most Part by minera and their families. and buildings were overturned and demol. tithed at the first blow. Darkness fell and the work of devastation went on In the night.

Several daring rescues were made during the flood. Mn. Bobeloff and her two children clung to the wreck. age of their home as it floated down the street and were reacued by Emil Grutt and P. Whitock, who dashed into the water and carried them Out.

It is not possible to ascertain the full extent of the damage until daybreak. The Fountain bar, a saloon located In a small frame building, was swept from its foundations and carried five blocks down the street to be landed high, and dry on a low bank. with its fixtures little disturbed by the strange journey. The gallows frame and engine at the Pruskey workings were swept away and the engine lies 100 feet from Its foundatione, while the Mart is ruined and filled to the brim with we. ter.

Aug. audacious holdup of a railroad train occurred on the eastern slope of the Allegheny mountains early today. A lone highwayman with a dynamite cartridge stopped a Pennsylvania express train and at the point of a revolver compelled the crew to carry thousands of dollars from an express ear to a spot in the wilderness. non the conductor attempted to interfere he was shot in the hand.

The bandit escaped. In the darkness however, he mistook a bag containing 10,000 new Lincoln pennies for gold coin and staggered away with it, leaving the real gold bullion to be recovered. NV nen the news of the robbery reached the railroad and express officials they ordered every available detective from the east and west to the scene. Bloodhounds were also put on the track of the bandit, but up to a late hour tonight no trace of the man has been bound. Threatening to dynamite the car, the robber forced the express messenger and engilreer to carry all the gold and bullion stacked in the first car, to the side of the tracks.

The robber calmly ordered the crew back on the train and told them to pull out, leaving the bullion beside the track. It was recovered later ble a posse sent on a special train. It was reported tonight that in ad-, dition to the missing pennies several thousand dollars in currency is missing. A gent Hammaker of Lewistown sent a safe to the scene of the robbery to receive six bags of pennies on which the seals had not ben broken, but which had been cut open with a knife and abandoned by the robber in disgust. The express messenger says there were five large Iron safes each containing a considerable sum of money.

Expect to Catch Him. With practcally every detective and officer employed by the railroad, assisted by special detectives of the Adams Express company, engaged in a search for the bandit, the prediction was made tonight by the Pennsylvania railroad officials that his apprehension is a question of hours. He was traced a short distance up the mountainside, the currency dropped in his flight marking his trail. The highwayman, it Is said, took 0000 in bullion and $200 in pennies from the car, and all of this has been found along the trail except 165.

"The Roosevelt-Pinchot policy of conservation is no doubt a popular one with the masses, however well ed in law it may be. Pinchot is generally regarded as the apostle of conserwation and the man has done far more in leading the way than any one else to prevent the absolute deforestation of the country and a consequent waste of national resources." Taft and Roo "Every one knows," continued Mr. Poindexter, "how much Taft owes to Roosevelt for being elected.

Every one knows how dubious Taft's chances seemed for a while during the campaign. Then Roosevelt threw himself into the breach, bolstered up the republican forces, gave shape and direction to the republican battle and by the magnetism of his personality snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. attitude On tariff revision is well known. He favored an unconditional revision downward. How well Taft has carried out his pledges in that regard, as expressed in the Chicago platform is well emphasized by the tariff bill as finally passed, which certainly appears to be largely a revision upward.

However, Taft may yet prove that he really has the Boosevelt policies close at heart." 1 MILWAUKEE MEN OFF FOR MALDEN 0 1 1 I J. H. Cook and Roy Davis, engineer and helper on a steam shovel in the Spokane, Portland Seattle tunnel, near Greenwood cemetery, were buried under 60 tons of clay which slumped from the roof of the tunnel 500 feet from the portal at 4:40 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The bodies were recovered after three hours' work. J.

H. Cook was 86 years old and boarded, with his wife and 6-year-old daughter, at the home of George D. Aschenbrenner, S109 street, near the tunnel. He came to Spokane from Billings. where his wife's parents live, to work on the Greenwood tunnel.

He was an Odd Fellow and a member of the International Brotherhood of Steam Shovelers and Dredge-men at Glendive, Mont. Roy Davis was unmarried so far as is known. Ile went to work for Welch Porter about a month and a half ago and worked irregularly until the accident. Nothing is known by his employeas of his relatives. The steam shovel was enlarging the bore fronf the seven-foot hole, which has been run' in about 1000 feet, when the accident occurred in the north end of the tunnel.

The moist clay had been timbered, but the work of the shovel In digging out the bottom of the tunnel disturbed the timbering and about 80 yards of sticky soil dropped on the machine, burying both men. Fifteen Men Narrowly Escape. A force of about 15 men was working In the tunnel at the time under Shift Boss. Oscar Anderson. Several were in the face of the tunnel beyond the caveln, but there was a passage left above the pile of dirt for them to get out.

Every man working on that shift Ivan put at work with shovels. The two bodies were wrapped In burlap sacking and carried out onto the sod of Greenwood cemetery and laid by the white gravestones. Smith wagon was telephoned for and took the bodies to the city. Says Death it'ais Instantaneous. "The men probably did not know anything after the dirt struck them," said Dr.

Edward Deetnond, Welch Porter's physician, who was at the scene before the bodies were unearthed. "The weight of the clay and the shock of Hs fall probably were enough to render them unconscious before there was any suffocation. "Of course, resporation and the beating of the heart would not cease immediately and an autopsy would undoubtedly show some congestion of the lungs and heart, but it Is safe to say that both men were unconscious from the first." ''The accident is deplorable in every way," said William J. Porter, nephew of J. D.

Porter and R. B. Porter, who Is in charge of the tunnel work. "Pee head of the tunnel is now 1000 feet in, anu is in rock and Out of the soft clay. The work is all timbered and it thought that the protection was enough to prevent any accident of this kind.

second Accident at Tunnel. "This is the second accident of the kind since the tunnel was begun. In the former one life was lost in a cavein of sand. The formation of the ground at the point at which the steam shovel was working was responsible for the -cave. The tunnel runs through a layer of clay between two ledges of rock and dirt dropped away from the upper stratum of rock." Oscar Anderson, the shift boss, was near the shovel at the time of the accident and narrowly escaped being buried.

He took charge of the work of clearing away the soft clar from the bodies. No sooner was the work finished and the two bodies carried out of the tunnel than he received a message that his 2-monthsold baby was dying in a hospital in this city. J. H.

WALLA WALLA, Mtg. John Baxter, a prominent and wealthy real estate dealer of this city, while driving his automobile, struck and almost instantly killed Delos Coffin, a well-to-do pioneer farmer of Walla, Walla county. Mr. Baxter was arrested and taken to the police station, where he gave a complete and detailed account of the accident to the officers and newspaper men. While he talked within a large crowd of curious people gathered about the doors, but showed no indications of violence.

The names of many witnesses were secured by the police, and several persons went to the station, where they gave their versions. of the affair. Mr. Baxter said: "If I can do anything in Gods world to make it right I will do It was a case of confusion. I had perfect control of the steering wheel and was not going fast.

Mr. Coffin started across the street, but stepped back and akrain started, so that I could not tell where he was going. They say I did not blow the horn, but I did." Narrow Escape of Jesse Carpenter. Rat, who was on the ground, declared that the horn was not blown, as did Jesse Carpenter, a farmer, who, himself, barely escaped being run down. "I could not tell whether he was going to turn off Main street north on Fourth or go straight down Main," said Mr.

Carpenter, but aunt as he goC to the middle of the street he turned suddenly and I had to Jump like a lark to get out of his way. As I looked back I saw him sweep down the other man. The machine ran six or eight feet before the body seemed to break loose and then ran on a little distance." Mr. Baxter first stated that he had run 20 or 80 feet beyond the point where he struck Coffin, but later revised his statement and said he ran but six or eight feet. With Mr.

Baxter in the automobile were his wife and their son Richard. and Mrs. W. D. Paul and her three children.

Mr. Baxter said he had three lights on at the time, but the street was dark otherwise, owing to the absence of city lights, there being a compact with the lighting company that when the moon is full the power need not be turned on.

Penn didn't ride the cushions this time, but he rode a Pullmanon top.

He la in town to visit Spokane for the fifth time and to put his "monacher" on one more building in the city. The railroad men whom he has se successfully foiled several times know It. and know how he got here now, and believe they know how he will get away. Be didn't pay his fare, and they know it and they don't expect to make him pay his fare going out.

But Penn is not "mooching" from any one but the railroad this time. Ha says he has just drawn the handsome sum of 560 from Frank Munsey for an article which he wrote for one of that man's magazines. Penn declares he didn't work In writing that article.

He inveigled a pretty stenographer into writing the story from dictation free of charge. For 15 years Penn has traveled around the world, 632,000 miles in all, and to date, according to his well-kept accounts and dairy, has paid but 52 in fare, including steamboat, ferry and railroad.

He is en route to Seattle where he expects to sell a number of his books written at odd hours. and published almost free of cnarge by publishers who "fell" for his magnetic string of talk.

When Penn "does" the exposition, sells his books and receives another cheek from magazines for which he has written stories of his experiences. he sails for Europe, nothing interfering.

Holt, engineer in charge of the Milwaukee surveys between Malden and Spokane, will leave Spokane this morning to go over what will probably be the route of the road Into this city. A force of engineers which has been working in Tudor Heights for the last two days is said to confirm the theory that the road will cross the Spokane Inland Empire tracks at that point. Practically all of the ground south and west of Tudor Heights station on the Inland has been gone over by the transcontinental road's surveying crews and several lines of stakes across Moran prairie mark tentative routes which have been surveyed. The route which probably will be accepted finally will run north from Malden and cross the Northern Pacific in the vicinity of Spangle. There it will run east toward Hangman creek and cross that stream near the mouth of Stevens creek, run up that creek a distance and go over to Moran prairie by a devious route west of the Inland tracks to the crossing near Tudor Heights station.

From that point a detour will have to be made to the east and nortn to get down to the level of the Spokane river valley and to connect with the string of purchases of city lots which have been made along East Front NORTH Sept Three United States aenators, the president of a great railroad system and two of his chief lieutenants engaged in the Philippine game of "flylew" at the government irrigation headquarters in the Tieton canyon near here, and for a brief time were as carefree as so many schoolboys.
