' '.'It Is now known," said Mr. Conner, hat at least 275 or 800 people were drowned. 115 corpses having been hastily buried In wooden boxes and some were merely wrapped In blankets. There were still several wagonloada . of dead on their way to the cemetery when I left. Heppner Itself has now been pretty well searched, except In piles of debris, where It Is thought great numbers of bodies will be found." "Between Iono and Heppner," said Mr. Conner, "there are great plies of debris, but the flood passed so quickly that the roads have not been seriously damaged. The rail road track, however, from Lexington on Is badly torn up. It looks strange to see the heavy steel rails bent and ,'wlsted like corkscrews and the heavy timbers splin tered Ilk . matchwood.

They left the flooded city at noon yesterday, after having witnessed the destruction of the town and assisted In the rescue. Mr. Kelly aald: 'The storm was some thing fearful. It could be easily seen from the city. The people were gathered In their yards and on their porchea to witness the display. "The rain was not falling In Heppner, but could be seen some distance away. Sharp flashes ot lightning were accompa nied by howling thunder. Then suddenly the thunderstorm died away and left an ominous silence. Then a low, rumbling noise was heard, very faint at first, but growing louder. . "The city is situated on Willow creek, which makes a sharp turn above the city. As the noise grew louder and louder, the people became frantic. But In a moment the van of the flood burst Into vtew around the curve of the creek, carrying In Us crest the cabins and houses which stood In its path. Then tiiey made a rush to the hills, bu were too late. The floods were upon them. ' "Th llttl. river, ordinarily ten feet wide and six. Inches deep, in Ave minutes wss transformed Into a roaring torrent, 400 feet wide and twenty feet deep. Houses were lifted from foundations and carried on the swirling waters. Resistance waa Impossi ble. Everything was swept before the rush of the flood. People were caught In their homes and forced to crawl out on the root.

In company with Frank Spauldltig he left Heppner about 10:30 o'clock Sunday night on horseback. - "On Sunday afternoon," said Mr. McAtee, "there had been a pretty sever rain storm, accompanied with much wind and lightning. I was standing In front of the house and noticed that a cloud of remarkable demo ness shrouded the top of the hill on the east side of the canyon. I turned for a moment, when a roar caused roe to look again at the hill. I saw a wall of water, whose height I would be afraid to gauge, rushing .down the mountain, carrying immense trees and timber on its crest and tearing the very rocks from their foundations. "The torrent (truck tho upper part of the town first. The residence of Thomas How ard was the first to fall and his entire family was drowned.- In the Krug home also every person was drowned, as was the case in the Hale and Baling residences." Continuing Mr. McAtee said: All of these houses were about four or five blocks a Dove the business center. The residence of Abraham Hamslck wes en tirely demolished. The resilience of 3. A.

" ' The house of Ben Patterson, Mr. Dunn and Mr. Noble were entirely-demolished and all persons In these three1 families drowned, as were the families of James Jones and Henry Blair. F. J. Farnsworth and Phillip Cohn werelso .drowned. Th entire residence '.portion' of Heppner was destroyed, but tho business' houses, being on higher ground and being generally of brick and stone, were not so badly dam aged. The school house and court house were aaved, but two churches were coro pletly wrecked. Around the depot the rising Water left great heaps of driftwood piled higher than' the roof of the station,, and: the rescuing party were forced to demolish these pyra mids of timber In order to extricate the corpses which were tangled In the- brush. Undoubtedly many of th drowned were carried by th rushing waters down tho valley. i About ICO persons have been burled in Heppner's grave yard.

Additional advices coming to the State department from various sources respect ing prospects of the ratification of the Panama treaty by Colombia continue to be so conflicting as to leave the officials here in donbt as to the outcome. It is believed the weight of opinion In Colombia is averse to the ratification. The sentiment favoring ratification seems to be confined principally to the three provinces of Panama, Cauca nd Aritloqula, which make up the Isthmus of Panama proper. The states In the inte rior of the country, which would not be directly benefited by the ..development of th isthmian trade, according to reports, show lgns of Increased opposition.

It Is stated by the 'who will talk even secretly on the matter that the grand Jury wa composed of residents of Breathitt county, drawn by those who are Identified with the dominant faction, and that no In dictment for anything were consequently expected. ' On the other hand It In pointed out that the jurors In the case of Curtis Jett and Thomas White are from another county and that a verdict of conviction may be possible.

Hang on Judge' Charge. Th defense closed Its testimony this afternoon and thrre la now great interest In anticipation of the charge that Judge Redwlne will give to the Jury. It Is be lieved the verdict will greatly depend on what the court says before tho Jury re tires. There Is much comment tonight upon the testimony offered by the defense, especially that of Judge llnrgls and Sheriff Callahan, who were standing across the street when Marcum was killed. While the witnesses yesterday consisted of the defendants themselves and their friends, those today Consisted of the relatives, employes and close friends' of leaders of the Hargls fac tion and the drift of all v.hb to prove an alibi for, the prisoners. When the common wen Hli dosed its testi mony last week It was announced that It was because some of Its witnesses could not be found, among them John Smith and John Abner, charged with being In th con-! splracy with the dof?ndants to get Marcum out of the way. The troops chased all over the mountains to find these witnesses for the prosecution, but In vain. Consequently It was the more noticeable that these same men were on hand for the defense today of their own accord and denied emphatically the statements In the affidavits of Marcum and Mose Feltner regarding plots and ef fort to ret Marcum out of the way. The defense today placed Dr. J. M. Kash on the stand. He testified that he saw Jett on the nlk at the corner of the court house ten seconds before the shots were fired. Jndsre Hards on fttnnd. County Judge James Harris, an uncle of Jett and the teputed leader of the Hargls faction, said he saw White walk out of the courthouse .door and one-third across the street before the shot wis flred. ., "When I heard the first shot I saw Ewen pitch out of the door and run. I then saw Marcum fall. I saw Judge Blanton on. proach the wounded man. I saw Curt Jett approaching the scene of the trsgedy." lie did not know who killed Marcum, but there wero several way In which an as- snssin might have escaped from the court house, i Cross-examined by Attorney Byrd, Hargls lid ho saw nothing unusal In White's action when he came out of th door. Did you see Jett anywhere when the shots were fired" asked Byrd. "No." Sheriff Callahan was In Harris' store looking out of the window when the mur der took place. He saw Ewen Jump out of the door and run and Marcum stagger and fall. He saw Jett near the eourthm. walk, at the corner. He said he saw some one in the hallway of the courthouse, but could not tell who it was. He did not see White come out of the door, but saw him across the street when the shots were flred. James Back, another witness for the de fense, admitted that he expected to eet pay for testifying. John Abner, a brother-in-law of White, denied any knowledge of conspiracy to murder Marcum, as alleged by Mrs. John son, and denied that he entered Into any oontract with Mose Feltner to assassinate Marcum or that he furnished Feltner any money or gun. John Smith said he wan eighteen feet from th courthouse door and saw White come across the street toward the Harris stre, saw Ewen run and Marcum fall. He saw Jett about ten seconds before the shots were flred. Smith I ono of the men that Mareum said waa In ths plot to assassinate him. Raise Money for Ewen.

Th weather bureau's weekly crop review says: The week ending June IS was sbnormally cool in nearly nil district east of the Kocky mountains, the minimum temperatures from the loth to the 13th throughout the central valleys and the southern stittos. be ing the lowest record of the second decade of June, and heavy frosts were of general occurrence Ir the upper Missouri valley, with light frosts as fur south aa Tennessee. I'nder these conditions the growth of veg etation ha been slow, but with an absence of rain or light local showers. In the cen tral valleys, much needed cultivation has oiHoe favorable progress. Generally favorable condition prevailed on the Pacific coast, except during the early part of the week In Washington, where dry ing northerly winds proved Injurious In some sections. The week waa unseasonably warm In the eastern portions of Oregon and W aldington and la Idaho and Northern Ne vada. While planting replanting and cultivation or coin In the central vailevs have been vigorously pushed, cohsiderabfe planting re mains unfinished In- the northern district. Corn Is unusually late and has made verv slow growth under th low temperatures of the past week. Winter wheat harvest progresses as far north as southern portions of Kansas. Mis souri, Illinois. Indiana and Virginia. While an Improvement In the condition of this crop Is Indicated in northern Illinois. Ohio, and over the northern portions of the mid dle Atlantic states, It has suffered deteri oration over a large part of the winter wheat belt as a result of Insects and In creasing rust. In California th crop Is maturing rapidly and harvest In In nrnrress In t ha southern portion, with heavy yields. In Oregon and Washington winter wheat is heading- short, but with gooor heads.

(Special, i-'i he sum mary of crop reports received at the cen tral office of the climate, and crop service of the Weather bureau for the week end ing June IE Is: The last week has been cool and dry. The dally mean temperature has averaged 11 degrees below normal In eastern counties and logrees below In western. Light frosts occurred In lowlands quite generally on the fHh, 10th or 11th; no Injury resulted except In a few places In northern counties corn and garden vegetables were slightly damaged. The rainfall .the last week has been light, generally less than a quarter of an Inch. Th last week has been favorable for the growth of small grain. Winter wheat in eastern counties Is rusting considerably and some fields are heading unevenly. Oats and spring wheat have grown well and continue very promising. Planting, re- j planting and cultivation of corn have pro gressed rapidly during the week; planting la about completed, although some low land 1b still too wet to work. Most of the early planted Corn has been cultivated, but many fields are still weedy; the condition of corn han Improved, although It has been too cool for this crop to grow well. Pota toes are generally very promising. Cher ries are beginning to turn and will be a very small crop. First crop of alfalfa la being cut and the crop Is generally below normal, having been damaged by wet weather.' Light c shower would be bene ficial In all seotlons, as the soil has become dry and crusted on the surface. Iovrn Crops. DES MOINES, June 18. Crop bulletin for week ending June IS, 1903: The past week was cooler than usual, tho dally mean temperature for the state ranging from eight to ten degrees below normal. There .was about the normal amount ot sunshine, with but little precipitation In form of light local showers. In view of the previous saturated condition of the soil, the weather conditions of the weak were altogether mora favorable than would have been a sudden chnnze to hot and dry weather, resulting In encrusting the surface. The low temperature was favorable for oats and spring wheat, check ing the tendency to rankness of growth end damage by rust, and these crops are generally doing fairly well. Work In tho corn fields has been vigor ously carried on, in planting, replanting and cultivating. In numerous localities farmers were cultivating the second time, while In the same vicinity planting was being done in fields previously too wet. The weather has been too cool for quick ger mination and rapid growth of corn, but the crop has shown a fair measure of Im provement within the last few days. Th work of finishing planting Is likely to be condition till the 20th; but with the beat condition the usual acreage will not be planted. The hay crop is likely to b a record breaker, and In a few localities hay making operations have been commenced. Th apple crop still gives promise of a fair yield. Soldiers Prevent Lynching?.
