' : Nothing in tU ., Jtintor of the Witern country can eompara with ih awful diaailer, and it ean only t realizad by eye witneues. In th middle of the afternoon dark tloode commenced to appear in the south and a ahort time be rore the flood a heary rain fill commenced with an electrical atorm. The rainfail waa not heary neogh here la raaae any alarm, and ai the rain oame down thick and faat, the people ware pleased to e a gooi aaaking raia which waa Bredad to kelp ut the crop. Owing ! Ihe roar oftkunderand the- neiae eaueed by the hary rain fall, the mar f the awful torrent waa not heard, and a great nanny people knew nothing of it unlii their heuaee began to more. Kven the people on Main tre: and through the boainetta portion were not aware of anythinjr until theererH-w of the chunnel com oieneed to come down the street and more aome of the amaller wooden hoaineet huiidiaga. There waa a wild rush for the hille amid acenai that are inde scribable. Werda cannot espreas the hor ror, the awfol destruction. Entire ly helplea, from the hilleides, the orTifori watched Ihe tarrible"Va ten take tbrircourae. Te attempt to haltle the great wares meant only suieiJe without being able tc acoompliah anything. The cloudburat eorered a large territory, the main portian rtriking about eight miles a bore Ileppner nn Balm Fork, a prong of Willow ereek. For mile all the draws and lit 1 creeks leading to ths Willow creek ralley were flooded and must hare reached the main stream aborit the same time. The flrtt warning that the peo ple in the baainejs portion had was when the Urge two story resi dence building of T. W. Ayers left its foundation and swung around into Mar street and crashed into and lodged en some wooden build ings just back of the Palace hotel. Mr. Ayers ws at the power heme and his family was at home, hen the bailding started. They ran up stairs ana were refcuea when the buildin e'oppnl by Mr Ayera, Frank R iberts , 1 scvera thera. Tlie family cime down on a Udder end wr tkrn out unin jured. Ity this time lh trrrors e.f i . tlood could be realiid. In tit. channel of tint ererk the wall ni water was at least AO feet deep and the eret of the .tremn seemed to be atls.tst ten feet l.iglrr ihnn the rerflow en tin ides. Dark ai.e muddy, la hing likn a atorm at.ea honaea were picked up like fexth ers. Up th buildings would go spinning around like top?, crali trig to piece like thy wtre mad. 'tfglu. It is cettainly wonderful thai no many people escaped. Il wms only a matter of luck in kHUhr onto drift that went to shore. The terrible scenes as viewed from the hill tops pan be compared to a horrible night mare. Cling ing to drift were the onfortunate rictims, up and down in the un equal battle where they were swl- 'owed up like rals in a mgo. I'upUr trees, Uo feet iu diameter were snipped t.li" like cornstalks. Many were the thrilling and hair -breadth canapes. l'hil Cohn, whise family wi out of town, was at home and aBloep when the fl.iod struck his house, -he stayed with the building until it went lo pi.-c.es and fur a mile he clung to wrnckHg, gu'mg un3er a half dozen time' or more, and finally was able to crawl out more dead than alive in W. O. Minor's aifdlfa fi. ld. Mr. and Mrs. 'fjiio. Conscr es caped a lino t miraculously. When the water struck the houe, tr. Mo Sword, J. L. Aye;s and a Japatifbe errant - made a ruh from the, building and were all lofct. Mr. and Mrs. Censer stuyed with the building. They ran up sUira and ihe lower part of the structure waa oon carried awny. Standing in water up p their necks, after all hopes had vanished, the upper ' part of tho building they wero iu lodged against another building, and Mr. Coneer kicked out a window and both were saved. W. 0. Minor' family had a thrilling experience. They ran to the upper story of their home and the building dinced on Ihe waves like a stick of cordtrood until ail the lower part was gone. The up per story was mashed to pieces and all but the room in which Mrs. Minor and daughter were in when the wreck finally lodged near tho M. li1. church. They were taken out through n window and saved. Julius Kfithley, 70 years of age, laved r.ilh hi s house until every thing was gone but the roof. He rode the current fur almost two miles. He saved the life of Win. Ayers, Jr., by pulling him onto the roof and they Luth floated to shore. Dan Staiter, who lost his wife and six children, escaped with one of his children by getting into a Jry got'di box tint rode tho waves and fortunately washed to the 1 1 lore. The water was at ils height for only about an hojr, and while Ihd waters were receding, the survivors were organizing and search was imnudiately commenced for the missing. Ttie waiting room of the Fir.t National bank and Roberta' hall were transformed into receptacles for the dead and when the search ers were foiced to quit by darkness many bodies were recovered. At the first ppproach of daylight tho entire town wns out. Nobody slept. All wero anxious to again commence the search that has been going on ever since. Before the rushing torrent had reached the depot Leslie Matlork and Bruce Kelly, two expert horse men and old range riders, appear ed. "My God, Lexington and lone, can we beat the flood," were tho words of Matlock waving a wire cutter in h;s hand. Not a soul thought it could be done. 'We will try," and btfjre tho, wcrds were out of hearing, clash went the cruel spur and two horses tail that stuck straight, out were ecou out of viht.
