A blood-curdling story came from out

that Fred Zollor. the Nohalem mail

attempt to go through to tho end of his

It was reported that fourteen rivers of
blood were flowing down tha canyons In

from Fred's veins, but it was certainly

Moody says as the bill Is unanimously

probably useless to offer any amend

DossibilitT of success, he will offer an

OliATBHANIID ITEMS.
ClATSKAlllB. Jan. 10 A very unusual
manlfestion of the storm on Naturday
evening has caused Immense damage to
mib property oi a low oi our citizens and
neighbors. Boon after 5 o'clock, p. in,
Marshal Shearer and family, residing
one and one-half miles west of town,
heard a roaring accompanied by such a
crashing of tree and combination of
terrific sound as to frighten them, and
on hearing the crash so rapidly ap
proach, they left the house In terror just
in nine to see a mass oi iiuioer and
driftwood floated hy an immense vol
ume ot water strike their bouse, move
it from Its foundation and carry it over
iw iei away, aigm coining on they
sought shelter at W. H. Miller's, without
a very clear idua of what had happened.
Next morning it was discovered that
something like a cloudburst bad oc
curred about the headwater of West
creek and the water coming down the
canyon bad carried with it everything
in uie way. jrees, logs, uunuings
rocks, all gave away before tho mass of
water, und were rushed down the nar
row Korgo or piled from thirty to fifty
leet liigli along the sides ot the moun
tains to mark the water Hue and testify
to the force that had dislodged and de
posited them. A mile above Tichenor's
saw mill were some buildings used for
boarding and lodging the men, fortu
nately empty. These were demolished,
the logging road np the canyon obliter
ated, and the mill itself carried from its
foundation, pulverized und its mill ma
chinery scattered and buried under sand
and trees until but little of it can be
seen. The bridge below on the county
road to Mist was taken out, foundation
and all, and a little farther along, the
barn of Marshal Hhearer, with two
horses, three cow and several tons ol
buy, was carried 'away and livestock
lost. In Shearer' meadow, where the
water and timber had more room to
spread , the Held is left covered with
logs, driftwood and trees, many of
which lodged against a grove of alder
trees which caught them, until they are
left piled around to a height of fifteen
feet or mora and pretty generally dis
tributed over the meadow. From here
the water passed away with compara
tively II ttbdamuge, aside from washing
away tho bridge on the road to Flippin's
mill and carrying away some fences on
the Miller farm, where considerable
and was deposited.
The Tichenor Mill Company have lost
their entire mill plant, the damage to
them amounting to probably $10,000.
Shearer' place is damaged over $1200,
and some place his loss much greater.
Soon after the accident the little stream
wa ttnwinir ribbon-like through the
great chasm it had cut tor itself and an
observer could scarce believe that the
small stream of water rippling along
could have done so much damage. Such
calamity has never visited this sec
tion and many visitors nave tieen out to
view the ruin so quickly and unexpect
edly produced. .
WIIECK ON ASTORIA ROAD.
Train Dashed Into Land Slide and
. Kngtneer Scott Killed.
Astohia, Jan. 14. The first serious ac
cident on the Astoria A Columbia Blver
railroad that resulted in the loss of life
happened Hstuarday night, and was
miraculous that the list of dead was not
greater, instead of one, the engineer.
The train left Portland with three cab
well filled with people. A the train
wa passing Linnton the rails were sub
merged by water for a couple of miles
to a depth of two feet or more, and it
was necessary to run slowly to avoid any
Sossible accident. The train arrived at
obie 30 minutes late. The track In the
direction of Astoria was reported to be
in good condition, and also that the
trackwalker was on the line at work.
Engineer W. M. Scott was in charge of
tlie enirine ol the train, and fireman
Jamea Davis on was the other side.
The meht was very thick with souslls
of rain coining constantly and both men
were keeping a sharp lookout. The
trackwalker was passed and he signaled
that tho track was clear, which meant
to Engineer Scott that the man had
passed over the track within twenty
minutes. When almost at whai fs
known aa Bocky Point, about half, a
mile east of liusby's Hole, Engineer
Scott noticed an obstruction on the
track, and said to Davis, "Jump I" just
as th engine ran into a slide of rock
and stone from the hillside. What hap
immediately after that is not known,
except that the passenger in the
coaches were badly shaken up by a sud
den stop, but none of them were injured.
Alter the orst shock was oyer the
male passe niters got ont to discover the
cause of the wreck, and heard the cries
for help coming trom a man In the river
beside tho track. Tben it was found
that the engine had gone into the river.
All was confusion for some minutes, but
some of the cooler heads took in tlie sit
uation at a elance. A bell cord was cut
and thrown to the man in the water,
and with it he was pulled ashore. He
proved to he Davis, the nreman. ne
lad been keeping afloat by holding on
to pieces of firewood from the tender of
the engine. A soon as the accident
waa known in Astoria a special train
was sent out and the passengers brought
down, as well as Davis, who appeared to
be seriously injured.
Scott, the engineer, went down with
his engine and is supposed to be buried
under it in the bottom of the river.
Arrangements have been made to raise
the engine, and nntil it is done the body
of Scott cannot be recovered.
Fireman Davis, who is now at the
hospital here, has several bones of his
right hand broken, a severe scalp wound,
and man V bruises on his body. His
injuries were not considered serious, but
today his condition became worse,
and the severe shock to his system may
result aeriously.
W. M. Scott, the dead engineer, was
one of the oldest employe of the road
and a man of the highest personal char
acter. He leave a wite, wno resmes
here, a mother, and two son, who live
at L Urande.
