niE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY. OCTOBER 2, 1911.
lth engine headlights, sulomoblle lamps,
pine torches and Improvised lanterns of
svery sort poked their way Into every
pile of wreckage that wn eceeselble,
iceklng try who might be alive, frit
scarrely a body was found In which life
was not extinct
The night had been one of hardship
and horror, which severely tested the
mettle of the men whom circumstances
had pressed Into first aid revcuers ot
the flood-devastated village.
Men who shuddered at the touch of a
dead body at the outset Indifferently
searched mantled bodlea for papers of
Identification 'ere they had been lone
at work in the debris. One corpse among
so many did not seem ghastly; the sen
sation was appalling.
Dam Mile from City.
The scene of the obliteration of Austin
rovers an area three-eighths of a Sille
wide and one and three-juartres mile
long. This comprlaed the buslnesa see
tlon and the valley residence portion
and was bounded by Main. Riickaber
and Thorn streets and Costello avenue,
crowed by lesser thoroughfarea.
Nearly a mile above stood the mam
moth concrete dam of the Bayless Taper
and Puly company. w feet long, fifty
two feet high and thirty foet tl.lrk at
the bottom, tapering to a thlrkness of
three feet at the top.
Back of this dam yesterday lay a reser
voir of water a mile and a half Ions
and an average cf thirty-five feet deep.
Wrertly In front of the dam stood the
plant of the Bayless company, with four
main huildlnps Stacked hlRh nearby
was 7v,cv cord of fifty-Inch wood and
slabs and also a portion of the com
pany's Immense tlmher stork, totalling
In the Auftln valley lS.ouo.04 ftet of hard
wood and :.".nnfl.tt feet of hemlock. Thla
was a five-year supply, practically tho
last larne cut of the region. It aj val
ued at tiO,oro.
A mill stream. Freeman run. flowed
through the town Into Plnnemahonlng
creek, leading to the Susquehanna river.
The town proper was a smart little place
of comfortable frame houses and more
substantial business buildings along the
msln street, which ran from nlde to side
across the ravine. The principal busl
nesM building Included the brick structure
occupied 1ontly by the Austin bank and
the poatofflce, the department store of
A. ft. Puck, the Ooodyear hotel and the
Commercial house and numerous general
stores.
The minutes, after the dam burst thla
stags had been swept of Its setting. Along
the foothills were thrown telescoped
houres. At either end of Msln street
brick buildings acted as buffers as the
twenty-five foot wall of water rushed
tnwnwaid with Its mass of debris. Al
most hill high the wood, steel snd" brick
were piled, a mixture of the contents
of stores snd homes and of varied length
timbers and stlcka.
Wreckage of Dam Complete,
The wreckage of the dam had been as
complete as It was sudden. Two Immense
sections from top to bottom a hundred
and fifty feet wide were thrown out bod
ily like the Immense gates ot a canal
lock. The outward swing was mors than
fifty feet and on either side the remain
ing structure began gradually to crumble
away. '
Repairs last Spring had consisted of a
patch of cement fourteen feet . square
One of the severed sections yesterday be
gan at that patch.
The causa of the breaking la a matte
which the district, attorney ot 'Potter
county will investigate. The Bayless dam
was examined by experts more than a
year ago and recommendations were
made looking to Its ssfety. The district
attorney has secured the namaa ot soma
of the experts who submitted the report
and will summon them to testify at an
inquest to begin thla week.
Relief work has not been systematically
organised tonight, but It is hoped that
by morning the chaotic conditions will
have been relieved somewhat.
Relief Trala Arrives. .
Shortly after 11 o'clock thla morning
the first relief train arrived over the
Pennsylvania railroad. Pour carloads of
food and medical supplies from the stats
arsenal composed the relief loada. This
was ordered by Governor Tener. snd the
train left Harrlsburg at 4:10 this morn
ing la charge of Major rtnney of the
Eighth regiment. N. O. P., with sight
men. as guards.
At Eunbury. Pa., twenty-one men of
Troop C of the state constabulary, all
. the available men at hand, were taken
aboard and a delay of an hour was
caused by the loadlrfg of the troop
horses.
it was snown that there is need or a
strong hand to guard the town. Pillagers
bad been at work during the night, fol
lowing the rumor that the vaults of the
Austin , bank and the ssfes of several
stores had been wrecked. The rumor was
not true.
The firemen and volunteera did ef
fective work in keeping off would-be
plunderers.
In several cases the guarding had hand
to hand conflicts with ths marauders. In
which ths latter were worsted.
Ths survivors of ths flood had not re
covered from the horror of ths soens
this morning- and for many hours none
but strangers visited ths uins. As the
day progressed small knots of survivors
met and visited the sight of the ruined
town. Many striking Incidents of the
rood and escapes were recounted.
Credit for the quick spreading of the
alarm was given to Lena Blnchey, a te!
ephon operator. Upon receipt of tho me
saga from the Cliff houae that the dam
bad broken, she pushed the alarm but
ton connecting with the fire department
and the engineer's office ot ths Good
rear Lumber mill below the town. The
engineer tied bis whistle down and ths
firs bell In the town was sounded con
Unuoualy. h then rushed to the street
screaming the warning cry "the dam has
broken." Then ah fled for her lit to
ward the steel hillside at the north end
of Main street Turning toward the val
ley she saw ths great wall of water de-
scendlng upon the town.
"From where I stood." she said today.
"tbs wail of water seemed fifty feet
nign. a Dove it rose a great cloud of
spray. In which houses aeemed to toss
bumping against one anqtber, spinning
and turning as they fell to pieces or were
swept out of my sight. The nole was
upplllng.
"When 1 fled from Main street theie
were scores of people behind me. many
iblldren. They did not seem to appr
tittle their daager.
"bom turned Into store as if to make
a purcbaae, whil I we looking down
upon them, utterly helpless to give fur
ther warning, th cloud of ' mist that
aeemed to precede the flood hint them
from view and a moment later th green

lated that at least 4 of th reidnt.

City and run It to Lincoln and from there
ring It to Omaha. Later, Bowvver, this.
plan was abandoned when It was an

had been put In order.
Owing to the fact that the public gen

MAXY DISAPPOINTED AT CHURCH
President Taft Fall to Bit in th

Disappointment clearly evident in their
faces, a throng of worshippers and sight
seers who had expected to see President
William Howard Taft at the morning
service at Trinity cathedral Sunday made
their various ways homeward, almost In
silence, at 12 30 In th afternoon. Th
president had failed to arrive.
Members of the parish and others w-ho
craved the honor of worshipping with
the president or wished to see him at
worship began to arrive early and py

During- th three-quarters of an hour
In
which th church was filling there
was an air of hushed expectancy. Eyes
moved constantly from one entrance to
another. It was apparent the president
had not reached th cathedral. One

As th hour off 11 approchd and Mr.
Taft with bis attendants had not ar

restless and questioned on another.
Wher was th president? Ther waa no
answer. There couia d oniy puui

changed and he would not com to th
cathedral: som thought an accident had
delayed his arrival; som believed he
had entered th church so quietly that

would permit.
