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

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
