Violent Rain Storm
Last Friday Evening
Wrecked Bellefonte Fish Hatchery and Did Thousands
of Dollars Worth of Damage to Farms and Gardens
Between Pleasant Gap and Bellefonte.
The man who argues that the destruc-
tive power of fire is greater than water
ought to own a farm or a garden along
Logan’s Branch and he would have had
a demonstration of the destructiveness of
water last Friday evening that would
have shaken his faith in man's ability to
conquer that element. And it was all
the result of a rain storm that did not
last over three quarters of an hour in
Bellefonte.
The storm began about 4.30 o'clock
Friday afternoon and the rain descended
in torrents until abcut 5.15 o'clock, but
at that nobody in Bellefonte anticipated
anything like a flood until shortly before
six o'clock when the water came rolling
down Logan's Branch in billows and
waves a foot high and soon overspread
all the lower lands. It was a question of
only a few minutes until the Phoenix
mill dam was flooded and the water was
pouring over the breast from one side to
the other. An effort had been made to
open the flood gates but they were so
rusted that one man could do nothing
with them and he was finally compelled
to flee to keep from being washed over-
board. The water 10se rapidly and soon
was pouring over the breast of the dam
a foot deep. Naturally the basement of
the Yeager Swing factory was complete-
ly submerged, the water was two feet
deep in the engine room and the street
was submerged to a depth of two feet.
So great was the volume of water which
poured over the dam that it ran in Water
street and at one place ran over into the
big spring. At the WATCHMAN office the
water rose high enough to give us about
eight inches in the press room, but aside
from the dirt and bother of cleaning it
out and rubbing up the machinery did
little damage.
The Yeager Swing company is the big-
Straw have had nineteen children during gest joser in this place. They had a large
their married life, ten of whom are liv-
ing, and they are not out of the running
yet. So much for quantity. As to size,
they easily equal their record of progeni-
tiveness. Mr. Straw weighs 260 pounds
and Mrs. Straw 225. Their three oldest
living children are sons and they weigh
respectively 196, 220 and 225 pounds.
They have seven daughters, the eldest of
whom, eighteen years old, weighs 200
pounds; one sixteen years old weighs 235
pounds; one fifteen 155 pounds; one thir-
teen 150 pounds; one twelve 146 pounds;
one ten 72 pounds, and one six years old
60 pounds. 2 This makes the total weight
of the entire family 2,144 pounds, or an
average of 178 2-3 pounds. These are
about the biggest straws to be found in
Centre county or the entire State, for that
matter, and we venture the assertion that
not another family in the whole country
can equal the Straw record in every way.

quantity of drylumber stored in the base-
ment of their plant and all of it was
under water. Just how much of it can
be redried so as to be of use cannot be
told but Mr. Yeager estimates his damage
at from $1,000 to $1,500. A large smoke
stack at the plant tumbled to the ground
owing to one of the guy wire posts being
washed away. The dam itself was very lit-
tle damaged, the superstructure on the
breast at the west side being the only
portion washed away. This was the only
damage done in this immediate vicinity,
except for a large hole washed in the
west bank of the stream just below the
breast.
Raymond Miller, messenger boy at the
Western Union, had about as thrilling an
experience in the flood as anybody. His
mother lives in one of the row of houses
near the Nittany furnace and when the
water began to rise so rapidly they moved
as much of their household goods as
possible to the second floor.
While engaged at this work their pig
pen with two good sized pigs in it floated
off. Raymond could not bear to see the
pigs drown and he waded the water waist
deep and finally reached the pen where
it had lodged against the Lewisburg rail-
road bridge above the Yeager Swing fac-
tory and saved the pigs. A washing ma-
chine and ice cream freezer were among
the articles washed down stream and the
owner of the former chased it down
toward Milesburg but we are unable to
say whether he recovered it or not.
The source of the high water was at
the head of Greens valley in the Nittany
mountain. There it rained hard and
steadily for possibly two hours before the
big storm late Friday afternoon and that
had much the nature of a cloud burst in
that section. The result was a torrent of
water swept down the ravine into the
stream that comes down along the pike
on Nittany mountain. At the watering
trough the trough itself was carried
across the road and lodged against the
opposite side of the mountain. Tons of
rock were washed down the ravine and
piled on the road so that they blocked
traffic. At one place the road was washed
out so that a temporary bridge had to be
built. From that point down through
the mountain and into the farming sec-
tion the path of the flood is plainly dis-
cernible by the destruction it caused.
William H. Noll had just put down some
water pipe along the side of the stream
to a spring in the mountain and two hun-
dred feet of this was washed away. Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Keller and Mr. and Mrs.
William Keller, of Lancaster, took an
automobile trip through Pennsvalley on
Friday and had supper at the Old Fort.
Not being able to get over the mountain
they were compelled to spend the night
in Centre Hall.

WALKER. —Mrs. Ida Orris Walker, wife
of E. L. Walker, died at her home in East

great shock to her many friends in Belle-

the flat below this barn over to the hill
side was one of the only two left standing
between Pleasant Gap and Bellefonte.
Foster Shearer's corn field was entirely
washed out so that he will have to plough
the ground again and replant it.
The pretty meadow on the D. M. Kline
farm scarcely shows any trace of the fine
barley set it had before the flood. About
a third of the fence along there is gone
and all of the stone top dressing of the
pike is spread over a field that formerly
looked like a garden.
Joe Rightnour’s blacksmith shop at
“Humes’ Mill” was submerged and the
filth of the flood deposited there in great
quantities.
The bridge at the foot of Rishel’s hill
rode away and the pretty yards and gar-
dens of that little settlement there are
sorry reminders of how beautiful they
looked before the storm.

end of it was washed clear out.
At the home of Wallace White, just be-
low the cider mill the attractive yard
and garden he has been working several
years to beautify is a sight, though not
seriously damaged.
Possibly more damage was done at the
property of James E. Williams than any-
where else. The barn that stands on the
bank of the creek just where the sub-way
goes under the railroad tracks was almost
ruined. Half of it was swept clear away
and the main portion twisted off its foun-
dations so that the mows above fell
through and their contents crushed the
two cows in the stable to death. The
bridge leading from the pike over to the
Williams home was carried away also.
The meadow at Harvey Griffith's place
is terribly washed, many of those pretty
willows bordering the stream torn clear
out and piles of drift spread all over it.
The Lewisburg railroad fill at the big
turn just below the Griffith place was so
badly washed out that many cars of stone
had to be dumped there before it was
safe for the traffic of trains.
The worst looking place in all the trail
of filth and wreckage that marks the
path of a spring fliod was at the toll
gate. There the water reached a height
of three feet six inches on the first floor
of the home of Isaac Miller, the toll
house keeper. So suddenly did the wa-
ters rise that not a thing could be gotten
out of the way, and tables, carpet, furni-
ture and all were submerged and left cov-
ered with about three inches of slimy,
illsmelling mud. The spring house and
small out buildings were carried away,
the bridge over the stream went out and
Saturday afternoon there was every ap-
pearance of a mess that might well have
discouraged strong hearted folk; though
the venerable toll taker was sitting out
in the road in an arm chair, with a pair
of rubber boots on, as placid as a May
morning, taking toll as if nothing had
happened.
A large building lodged under it was
all that kept the Nittany Valley railroad
trestle from falling into the stream, for
the supporting trusses were all ‘knocked
out and it will be some days before Supt.
Gardner gets trains going again on his
mine bank trunk line.
All the low ground at the Nittany iron
works was submerged and the stone
houses of the company along the pike got
cellars and first floors full of the flood.
Shovels had to be used to get the mud
out of the living apartments and we know
now that there are many people who will
appreciate what this office has to undergo
an average of once a year.

| morning of heart trouble and paralysis.
| She had been ill the past six months or
| more and previous to last Saturday had
| suffered two slight strokes. A third on

She was a daughter of Dr. A. W. Hafer,
of this place, and was born at Osceola
Mills November 23rd, 1876, so that she
was in her thirty-fifth year. On December
8th, 1897, she was united in marriage at
Pleasant Gap to Henry L. Haagen, of Ty-
rone, and ever since had made her home
in that place, her husband up to a year
ago assisting his father in the manage-
ment of the Arlington hotel. She was a

in which he was very successful. He was a
man who was greatly respected through-
out Centre county and as evidence of this
