A DELUGE OF ROCK
TOP OF MOUNTAIN IN CANADA FALLS
ON TOWN AND COAL MINE.
ritty-SU Lives are Lost by Strange Dis
aster In Craua Nest Coal HM- Hn
trance to Coal Mine Hurled Under 100
Feet ol Huge Rocks-Rlthcr Upheaval
of Limestone or Earthquake.
Frank, N. W. T., A-prll 30. This
placo has visited yesterday morning hy
the wont disaster that has over been
known in any community In Western
Canada, posib!y In the entire Domin
ion. What was either a land or rock
slide of such gigantic magnitude as to
bo utterly inconceivable to tlio mind ol
any whos eye has not beheld It, or n,
slide Induced by a seismic upheaval,
killed 60 people, destroyed the plant of
the Canadian-American coal and coke
company, did a vatt amount of damage
to the mine and completely devastated
about ten square miles of tho finest and
moat pictnrtsquo section of the Crow's
Nest pass.
Tho catastrophe came at 4:15 yester
day morning, when residents ol tho
town were awakened by a deafening tu
"mult and a shaking of bulldiugs which
It seemed would rattle them into com
pleto demolition. Of all the town's In
habitants, numbering nearly 1.000, not
ono professefl to havo reached the out
side of his domicile In time to see any
part of what took placo, hnt when day
dawned It was seen that the whole aide
of Turtle mountain had failed away
and that the country extending from
the eastern edge of the town for two
miles down the pass and entirely across
the pass, a distance of two miles or
more from the mountain, lay burled
beneath rock and debria of various
kinds for a depth varying from 25 to
100 feet.
The coal mines of the Canadian
American coal and coke company, or
more properly the seam being worked,
extends along the aide of Turtle moon
tain in a parallel direction. It is a
vertical vein and la worked from a tun
nel up. It waa immediately over
the workings that tbq mountain fell
away, burying them to a depth of more
than 100 feet. Aa there is no geologi
cal expert on the ground, it is Impost!
ble to determine the true character of
tne force exerted. Many bold to the
, belief that it waa an earthquake which
caused the mountain to fall away, oth
ers believe it to have been a limestone
upheaval, while others think it waa
simply a slide caused possibly by the
lime rock slaking under the Influnco of
the thawing weather of spring.
Dig Their Way Out.
It was at first believed that the death
roll was swelled by the total number of
men at work in the mine, 17, and tbnt
tbe mine bad been mined by the walla
squeezing together under the terrific
strain, but happily both proved nntrue
later in the day, when the men rescued
themselves and brought out a report of
the condition of tho mine. Had the
mine been ruined, it would have meant
a loss to the company of about 13,000,
000, out, as it is, tbe mine will be re
opened, and it Is thought the actual
losa to the company will not exceed
, 1250,000, if it amounts to so much.
The imprisoned miners eacaped by dig
ging their way toHhe surface from the
upper working. Borne were injured,
but none seriously.
Tbe Canadian Pacific railway is a
heavy loser by tbe disaster. Two miles
of line waa buried from CO to 100 fret
deep, and a new Hoe will have to be
located and built, Tbe entire Ions re
sulting from the disaster, it ia estimat
ed, will nraount to f 1,000,000, if not
considerably more.
Payne Starts Reform.
Washington, May 1. -The postmaster
general today issued an order in which
ho eaya that reports have reached h.m
that there are persons dolngduty in the
department who are carried on the
rolls either of tbe Washingtn city or
other postofllcea, who are employed
under a specific appropriation for other
purposes than department service, in
Washington, and that temination of
this practice, wherever it exists, ia

employes of the Washington postofflce

that remedies will bo recommended, for
this no one doubts, but it is reasonably

WORK (UNO RUN DOWN.
Ten drceks and One American Killed In a
Kansas Smash-Up.
Buffalo, Kan., Apiil 29. A north
bound Missouri Pacific stock train
crashed into tho rear end of work
train Just north of this town at 7
o'clock last evening and 11 men were
killed and 25 injured, 10 of the latter
seriously and four fatally. All were
Greeks except one. The causo of the
wreck la given as misreading of ordera.
The worktrain consisted of fiatcars
and a caboose, all filled with laborers.
The men on the flatcara escaped by
Jumping, but hardly a man In tho ca
boose escaped. Tbe work train was
backing Into town for tho night and
running at a good speed. The heavy
freight engine did not lave the track,
but plowed tbe work tram off the track,
leaving little of it except the car wheels
and kindling wood. Doctors of Buffalo,
assisted by townspeople, did heroic
work among the injured until tbe
wrecking train from Neodcsha and a
corps of naif a dozen physicians ar
rived. The dead and injured were
taken to Coffeyvillo, tbe latter to bo
temporarily cared for at the hospital
there. The scene of the wreck for
several hours looked Ilka a battlefield
by the dazzling light of the burning
debria, with dead men atrewn about
on tho ground, where they lay after
being taken from the wreck.
The foreigners were nearly all mar
ried and had large families in the old
country.
At tbo office of General Superintend
ent Gould, in Kansas City, the blame
for tile -wreck waa placed on the con
ductor and engineer of the construction
train. The freight, which waa a regu
lar train, waa on time and bad the
right of way.

On a Docombor night. In tho ottrly

A drizzle, or mint, was falling, hut

Ih the story, wo shall Introduce them
Captnln Jim Smeetn. orglnnlly from
Missouri, was about sixty y intra of
ngo. and unmarried.
Through steadiness and nttentlnn Id

and dark trousem, tucked Inside n
pair of long legged, leather boot
The coot hud oen a few years service
nevertheless It had a Prince Albert
cut and though a trltlo shady, he be
lieved It added dignity to his appear
once.
Captnln Jim was a silent man. not
easily duped; but like many other l-
lent men. particularly tho elderly un
married ones, silently yearned for an
object on whom to confidentially un
bosom his pent-up feelings. Such
an ono. meeting with a charming
temptress, unconsciously forgets his
dignity, and blinded by Infatuation to
tho most glaring inconsistencies, be
come entangled In her net and so
well, tho story relate what happened
to Captain Jim Rmeets.
His companion was also n WlHam
otto rlvor steamboat captain Tom
Webb, familiarly known nn Captain
Tom. Ho was a Buckeye State man.
about forty-eight yrara old. Not a bit
dignified, yet a little serious at times.
He wom a soft hat short pilot coat,
grey trousers, tucked Inaldo long leg
ged leather booM, which were then
quite the thing.
Ills hands were thmst deep In the
pocketa of his coat. His teeth grip
ped a short stemmed black pipe, nt
which he was pulllot; away with such
vigor thit his hollow checks aecmed
drawn together.
Captain Tom was not rJch. On the
contrary, he appeared to be tnoxt
wretchedly hard up. Ever In debt to
those who were Impressed with hie
bustling activity, and also to thoso
who from fear of Injury to their busl
uesa, loaned him money. Captain Tom
never let a alight pass without punish
meet and the refusal of a small loan
be considered tho keenest Insult. It
wru a reflection on his honor.
Ho was naturally an Impulsivo man,
very restless, with keen blue eyes,
low broad forehead, bushy black hair
and lull beard, a pronounced Roman
nose, and ready at any time for any
daring.
Captain Tom had been for one full
minute meditating. an astonishingly
infrequent mood for him, whether
to "bone" his companion for tbo loan
of a ten then, or wait for chance to
present a moro favorable opportunity
during tho night, when tho current of
his thoughts was Interrupted by Cap
tain Jim observing:
"Peer as your house bo expecting
company. Tom!"
"Shore"' replied Captain Tom, look
ing ahead and seeing tho windows
lighted up in n story and a half cot
tage some threo blocks 'itnot
"The party Is thar. Nan's friends
sprlsln her. Look sharp, narrcr chan
nel here, alnglo board wide. Keep yor
course straight for thct ono light
nhed."
Arriving near tho housn. the two
men too- quietly listening to tho
banjo and fiddle music that wna dls
tlnctly hoard above tbe clatter of feet
In tho dining room.
At length Captain Jim was moved to
remark. "They bo a tcarln' of them fid
dles all tow pieces,"
"It's tho barber and hi' pal a run
ning -cm off for tho wlddy. Can't nn'
It out any tow quick fer her nuthor."
responded Captain Tom.
"I sbud think ao!" dryly exclaimed
Captnln Jim. Then slyly snulntlng nt
his companion, he continued: "A
trim craft, bo thct air wlddcr. Why,
Jim, tier's ox stanch ez over carried
cotton; badly treated though by a run
away husband."
"Poor thing,"
"Yep, too bad. Como In."
Upon entering tho kitchen, which
they found deserted for tho tlmo.
Captnln Jim, from mere habit, warmed
hln hands over tbo ntovo, whllo Cap
tain Tom mndo straight for tho din
ing room door, which ho quietly open
ed, Just tho least bit, nud peered In
at tho dancers.
Having satlnlKd himself, ho closed
tho door and Joined Captain Jim at
tho stove, romarklng:
"She's right Bmart tow. Rnrna her
bread and supportn threo chlllun, and
the wust of It Is they bo all gnls.
Tuko a squint," motioning with his
thumb to tho door.
Captain Jim opened tho door, Just
enough to get a good look nt tho
dancers, then quietly closed tho door
And exclaimed, as ho regained his
place at .tho stovo:
"Mottier of throo chlllun! You be
not older
nor twenty-tow, I'll awnr'."
"Along' thirty tw. of she's n dn
UldtMt gal twelve yearn old. Hut
then It's tho way w carries herself.
Listen to them feet, eh' Hho'n n

Captnln Jim grinned nt the rumnrk

"How b alio ft wldder. then"
"Oh, Nan calls her, Tho Whldy.

Tho Idea of n man leaving such a
Nplcndld looking young woman nn tin

beamed to Cuptaln Jim Hmoetn liierod
lllll'.
The thought of four yearn from hoi
repeated Itself with such unconscious
vigor that his lips Involuntarily bo
trnyrd hU thoughts In to lira loud
enough for his companion to hear and
exclaim.
"Yea. four yarn, nn ho nover wrll

"Reckon n dlvnrco wud ImpYove her

Jim.
"I on'ne It wud, hut Jim, sho'n out'n

Jim In tho net of bonding over her, and
holding her right hand, presumably to

surprising In so old a man, Implanted

Annlo Instantly sprang to her foot,
turned her back to Jim, puckered her
mouth, and put on a most woeful face,
which prompted Captain Tom to ox
Halm with dlsgust'
"I knuw'd thot onion would do It,
tho blasted old fool " and so saying,
ho turn oil and loft tho room.
Captain Jim thought otherwise. Ho
believed Annlo turned her back on
him out of modesty. Ho stood contem

nloud. "Milk o' tho duds bo n nowhar."
Annlo haughtily turned, ntampod

"I be a goto' tew do some court in
