Wall of Water Fifty Feet High
Hurls Itself on Peaceful Vil
lage And Leaves Death And
Destruction in Its Wake.
AUSTIN, PENN., Oct. 2 ? Carrying all before il , a
wall of water fifty feet high swept down the valley of the
West Fork of Sinnemahoning creek, and as a result 300
persons were killed, hundreds injured and many are left
homeless and destitute.
The cause of the disaster was the breaking away of the
mammoth dam of the Bayless Pulp Paper company which)
is situated three mileB above this city.
Shortly after the water had done its work, the debris
caught fire, and for several hours the part of the town left
standing was threatened with destruction.
Many of the buildings that wers overturned by the
rushing water were soon a mass of flames, and the rescue
work was necessarily turned to the work of extinguishing
the flames.
Word has just reached this city that two smaller towns
south of here were greatly damaged, but no loss of life from
the water is reported.
The State Constabulary is digging under the debris
for missiug bodies, and up to four o'clock this after
noon over two hundred had been recovered,
An investigation has beeu ordered by the ftate author
ities, as there is a rumor that the dam had been blown up
with dynamite.
The property loss will be over $7,000,000, and the loss
to individual families who have lost all they po^ess on earth
will be hard to estimate.
