A coagulated mass ef halstones, as bard as rock, waa the mysteriously de structive center of the , stupendous force ., which blotted out two-thirds of Heppner. , The wonder of It ail has been why the congested torrent waa so deadly.. Hail, some of it massed In cakes that could be lifted only with two hands, weighs down hillocks of wreck age, and, curiously enough, haa pre served the bodies of many destroyed. Banks of the frozen :: particles were shoveled out by hundreds of workmen ' during the exhuming of the remains from the soil washed from the moun tains, seven miles up Balm canyon, i Uatlstones or a thickness of an,lnch and a .tuarter .were picked up in the, preliminary storm Thursday night at Hanby', ranch and In Quade canyon. That storm displayed ominous signs of a general uph-eavaL but of the 200 an more people whose lives were sacri- ! ficed, less than 20 were seriously con- cerner or ala'rnif.d. The hail had accumulated on the slopes of the southeastern hills during ; the second storm,, and apparently a bonk of It dropped from the clouds In the waterspout of Sunday. It was a congealed battering .ram, which, driv- en by angry winds and rain, in Its ram page irresistibly carried every earthly thing before It, grinding houses into bts and, ehreddng the clothes from the backs of humans as weU as destroying all contents qf dwellings. Bodies of victims have been dug from veritable Ice packs of hailstones. XTni der a burning sun, gangs of men, wills shovels, rakes and picks, labored to extricate, four of them. It was the, work of hours. When the forms were reached,' they were absolutely nude, every shred of clothing having been torn from them. . ' The Impact of the storm was magni fied a thousand times ere It worked vengeance in the midst of the town. Its, descent is marked by Inexplicable, deep inundations and ' holes in the ground jiear the head of the canyon. Tons of soil were wrenched from the , face of the hifi, opposite the mouth of Balm canyon. Boulders were whisked , up like straws, and the hail pack caused by water made its onslaught on houses, which were crushed like sheila. , SOCIALISTS CONGRATULATED.
