A fourth child survived. . Verlanic found Mrs. Bennett Slid her son, Phil, 16. in the mid dle of a dry creek bed. "Mrs. Bennett was nude." Ver lanic said. "She was crawling on her hands and knees. She looked . up at me, her face a mass of blood and said, 'Oh, thank God: I've been crawling and praying ; all night. My children, oh my God, my children. I wish I could find my children.' " Verlanic said that when the mountain crashed down into the canyon, water from the Madison River sent air swooshing up - both banks with such force it tore the clothes off campers. Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Gilstand Helena, Mont., were parked about a half mile downstream from the landslide and were among the first to reach the injured. "The roar sounded like the end of the world," Gilstand said. "We were sleeping in Hie car. It felt as if 10 men were jumping on jour bumper." Air Force Warrant Officer Vic tor James, 55, El Centro, Calif. was parked in his trailer about 75 yards from where the main . slide hit. ' "I heard a terrible rumble and looked up," he said, "I saw the whole damn mountain crumbling II was awful. I saw a lot of fight . ing during World War II but never heard such a hell of ' roar." UPI correspondent Robert Crcn . nen narrowly missed injury in - one of the aftershocks at I . a.m. p.d.t. it happened near where he and Highway Patrolman - Robert Spear, rancher Don Cox and Sheriff Lloyd Thomas of . Beaverhead County were stand ing. ' They had just driven" lo . the downstream side of the rockslide. . At , that point rocks were still ' trickling down the mountainside . . and two cars could be seen " "twisted like a wrung washrag," Crennen said. ; "I was jusl taking a- picture i when Spear shouted 'Good God, ' look at that!' There were five or six huge boulders coming down from the top of the mountain. "We were back about 50 feet , from the slide and the car was pointed toward the slide. We all ; jumped in. Spear got the car - turned around just as the rocks : came crashing down behind us. "Seconds later a big ledge 5 broke off the cliff and came tum bling down. One rock made a 10 " foot dent in the asphalt highway.' In West Yellowstone, western . gateway to Yellowstone, Laura Schauer, Los Angeles, was com , ing out of the Wagon Wheel Cafe when the first quake struck. "I felt like I was on waves,1 . she said. "I had no control. The '. lights swung. Glass was flying everywhere. I picked myself up ', off the ground several feet from the steps." : She suffered a lacerated left leg.' i Becky Alexander, Everett, Wash., was driving out of the park with her children, Leslie and Larry, along with Glen and Thel -. ma Alexander. "We thought it was a flat lire !, and stopped," Becky said. "The boulders came rushing down both in front and in back of the car. One felled two trees In front of the car." m Family Given McKay Estate SALEM (AP) - Bulk of the estate or Douglas McKay, former governor and secretary of Interior who died July 22, goes to his widow and two daughters, a will filed In Marion County Probate Court Monday shows.
