Hundreds of Men Search Ruins
In Austin For the Dead.
Many Pathetic Incidents and Acta of
Heroism Are Recorded In This Ter,
rible blsaster That Wiped Out So
Many Lives In the Little Pennsyl
vanla Village 8urvlvori Delving
Into the Dsbrls, Looking For Bodies
of Relative and Friend.
The town of Austin, Pa., today
la practically a desert. Two mini
nture streams of water trickle
through the mnln streets and are
mute testimonials of the solid wall
of lllllong of gallons of water that
swept away Austin Saturday. The
state constabulary arrived here and
they are patrolling the town and sur
rounding country. Fifty men have
been sworn In as deputy police and
are aiding In the search for bodies.
Over a hundred bodies have been
recovered and there Is a great need of
coffins. The school house on tho hill
has been converted Into a morguo and
U Is crammed with bodies. Bodlos
nro raid to have been seen as far as
10 miles south of Austin and a great
many of them will never be recovered
as they will be swept down In the
mountain creeks to the Susquehanna
river.
The flood has covered up every
thing with wreckage end not iven a
foundation or cellar remains. Kx
cent for the bank building the site of
Austin Is a leveled mnsa of buildings
and bits of wreckage. ' Fires burned
among piles rf driftwood and many
bodies were burnod.
At the Duflulo & Susquehanna car
shops a great pile of bodies Is be
lieved to have been caught beneath
tho wreckage.
Relief trains have been sent from
VIlllamRKrt. Port Allegheny, St
Mary's, Olean, Corning. Carloton and
Condersiwrt.
Three carloads of provisions and
clothing were sent from Wllllamsport
and the citizens have raised over
thousand dollars aj a relief fund. All
the cities In the state are banding In
contributions to Austin.
The tents sent by the state depart.
merit proved a godsend. It rained a'l
Sunday and the Injured women and
children were sheltered by the tents,
The state department also sent a re
lief train with 15 physicians and 20
nurses. Dr. Sykes Is In charge. Dr.
Trainer of Wllllamsport is the head
of another relief corps of doctors and
nurses.
Many of those who escaped from
the wall of witer and the fires are ly
ing at the point of death from the ter
rible Injuries they have received. A
number of amputations of legs and
arms have already been made. Dr.
Matsuay lost his entire family in the
flood. He Is on the ground now, one
of the bravest of the remaining citi
zens of Austin.
Word received here from Costello,
a small village ten miles south of
Austin, states that ten of Its residents
lost their lives In tho flood which de
scended from Austin on them. Fifty
buildings were WHshed away.
STEAM DERRICK AT WORK
Clearing Wreckage Around Goodyear
Pond, Where Many Dead Are
Thought to Be Buried. '
A big ateara derrick was put to
work on the broken end) of the Buf
falo & Susquehanna railroad and the
work of clearing the wreckage around
the Goodyear pond, where many per
sona are supposed to be burled, ia
progressing rapidly.
With the arrival at Austin of a car
load of coffins the grimness of the
tragedy which has practically ' oblit
erated that town was Impressed upon
the survivors Mid a considerable num
ber of workers began anew their ef
forts to mine deeply Into the hard
hills of debris.
Many evidences of the tremendous
power of the lood were seen by the
workers In. the town. Engines weigh
ing 25 tons were rolled along the
ground, an immense steel hopper waa
carried a half mile and thrown through
tho side of a house and steel freight
cars were bent double.
The greatest damage was done by
the piles of cut lumber swept before
the flood. ,The acted as a great bat
tering ram which swept buildings
rom their foundations and' unques
tionably caused the deaths of scores
who otherwise might havo escaped
fter' surviving tho first rush of the
water.
Investigation into the cause of the
breaking of the dam will be started
once, according to ' officials In
charge of the work of rescue. That
hore had been constant danger of
the catastrophe of Saturday, due to
the Instability of the structure and of
the great water pressuro, was known
to many residents of the towns and
thorough Investigation la demanded
v many of the survivors.
One of the mcst pathetic In the long
list of tragedies Is the case of Joseph
-eeman. a night worker, who was
sleep at his home and did not hear
the alarm. When the rush of water
wallowed up hli little home, he was
tossed out upon- a pile of Heating de-
rls and eventually floated to a land
ing, a mile and a half below the vll-
ige.
Wounded and bruised, he made hia
ay back, only to find that his wifo
and four children had perished in the
water. Leen.an went violently In-
eane. His mvlnga were pitiful. Sev
eral Tnen were required to hold him.
TRIED TO SAVE PARENTS
Daughter Was Guiding Old Couple to
Place of Safety When Church
Fell Upon Them.
The manner In which the people of
Austin lost their Uvea la typified In
the case of the family of State Sen
ator Frank K. Baldwin. His slater,
Mrs. M. C. Collins, had a few seconds'
more warning than many. Her father
end mother, Mr. and Mrs. John Bald
win, were In their home In Turner
street, which' lay between the dam
and the chief thoroughfare
Mrs. Collins thought Immediately
that her father was crippled and that
her mother was 'very Infirm and al
most blind. She ran to their house,
roused them and started along the
sidewalk that led to one of the cross
ftreets to til? hills. Their way waa
past the Presbyterian church and as
they passed this building the ap
proaching column reached them.
A man who rtood upon one of the
Ufe hillsides saw the church topple
and fall upon the three as the daugh
ter urged her parents along the street
There is not the slightest doubt but
what Mrs. Collins could have saved
herself. But she died with her father
and mother. '
As the quiet men and women tramp
cnelr the flat plain where the
water rushed 30 feet deep Saturday
afternoon tho question that came to
many minds was, "Where are the
children?" Here and there was a boy
who scrambled over the wreckage or
a girl who stood silently looking on,
but there was nothing like the curi
ous lot of youngsters that the author
ities expect at the place of a disaster.
All these milling towns of this state
are plentifully supplied with children.
The only anwer seemed to be that
when those heaps are cleared away
great number of small bodies will be
brought out. Saturday, of course,
school was not In session and tho
children were scattered ovejt the
town.
CITIZENS WERE WORRIED
Always Afraid That Some Day the
Dam Would Give Way.
The dam that split Into eight pieces
was not an old structure. It was
placed below an antljue wooden crib,
a trifle over two years ngo. But there
have been murmurings against the
heavy bulk of water that it restrained
even In spite of Its newness. The
women of the town especially have
worried about the diy when It might
break. The men were disposed to
laugh at these fears.
Last spring there was an alarm,
when It was thought that the brink
was ready to give way. The water
poured over it ao freely and with
such violence that a man on horse
back galloped down the valley, cry
Ing the warning that another rider
once gave in a flood In this Etate. At
that time the people ran to the over
hanging hills, but there wis ho need
for their fears. The flood did not
come.- But when the alarm was over
and the townspeople went out to V-ok
nt the barrier it was found that the
concrete had slipped down something
like IS inches. After that the
notches were cut In the upper sur
face to lessen the pressure by per.
mittlng a large volume of water to
trickle over the edge.
But when the state officials came to
examine the broken fragments It was
found that one of those notches had
been filled up completely with coa
crete and that work was In progress
on the other. Five feet of new con
crete was found In this gap and the
forms were up for more. Work had
been done upon It on Saturday.
The examination of Farley Gannett,
engineer for the state water supply
commission, shewed that one chunk
of concrete, weighing perhaps a ton
and a half had been projected down.
(stream for 100 feet. Another much
longer section lay 60 feet out of the
plumb line of the dam. Mr. Oannett
found a man, who, from the hillside,
saw that burst of the wall.
SAW THE DAM BREAK
Coudertport Man Was on Near Hill
side When Water Burst Out.
John Newman, a politician of
Coudersport," said the state engineer,
told me he was driving along the hill
side away fr.om the dam. His com
panion turned back to look at the
flood of water.
It seems to me that there's one
awful lot of water coming over to
day," said Newman. "That's right,"
agreed his driver, and then as they
looked, Newman shouted: "By God!
there It goes!"
The big lump popped out of place
and catapulted down the stream.
Then like the cracking of a whip the
other snapped out. In another sec
ond the great mass of wood pulp was
being flicked into the air like matches.
It went up like a cloud. The smoke
stacks of the Bayless Paper company
were hidden behind the spray and
cracking logs."
The chunk that popped so far down
was the first to give way. It was tho
top half of a section ripped off as
cleanly as If it had been sawed. The
exposed surface and base that remain
ed in place showed today that It had
not been roughened. It apparently
marked the end of a day's work in
the construction and the only way In
hich the next day's section had been
welded to it was by four twisted iron
bars, which were pressed downward
today.
Mr. Gannett was not willing' to say
what he thought nod - caused the
break. ' He will 'make a close Inspec
tion of the designs before he makes
his report to the water supply com
mission.
The dam was owned by the Bay-
,e8 Puln PaPr company, which has
Its headquarters In Binghamtort, N. Y.
The vast amount of water confined
above the dam was used In the pro
cesses of washing pulp after Its chem-
leal treatments before It la turned In
to paper.
DAVIS GAVE ALARM
Saved Many Live by Telephoning to
Town Before Water Arrived.
After the false alarm of last sprli.g
the Inhabitants of Austin decided that
In the event of another flood they
must place no reliance upon the speed
of a horse's hoofs and the strength
of a man's voice to warn them. It
waa agreed that one long blaet from
the whistle of the Standard Wood
company, which had its kindling
yards' perhaps an eighth of a mile
below Main street, should be the sig
nal for the people to spread out of the
valley and to climb the hills. They
went further and asked Harry Davis,
the general factotum around Cora
Brooks' road house, which is the near
est building to the dam except the
pulp mills, to keep an eye out for
danger sign; In his leisure moments.
Saturday morning Davis went up to
(Hke a look at the dam with Fred An
derson, superintendent of the mills
The handy man around the road
house did not like the looks of it, he
said, and he went to his Job a
little bit worried. He went to the win
dow more frequently In the lull In bust-
ness around tho noon hour.
It was a few mlnutos after 2 p. m.
that he heard the sound of which the
town had been in dreed. One look was
enough to show him that the break
had happened. '
He ran to the telephone as he had
agreed to do and got the telephone
central, where a young woman named
Lena Blnkey had the receiver across
her hair. He gave the traditional
warning just as everyone else wno
had the chance gave it. They had been
thinking a lot about the Johnstown
disaster, had these Austin people and
in ever case iney appear to nave ioi-
lowed the action of history.
'PHONE GIRLS GOT BUSY
Spread the Alarm Over Wire and
Then Rushed to Safety,
'The dam has burst," yelled Har-
ry Into the telephone. "Quit yer kid
ding," said Mifs Blnkey. "He says
the dam has burst," she repeated to
her co-worker, Katherine Lyons, at
the next desk.
"I tell you it has," shouted Davis,
Something in the way he said It made
Lena believe It this time and sho and
Miss Lyons lost no time In spreading
the alarm. Thev called tin the Stand
ard Wood company, told the man who
answered to send out his warning and
then began calling everyone they
could reach.
Miss Blnkey waited till she saw the
wall of water coming and then she
ran Into the streets. Miss Lyons
stuck to her switchboard until sho
saw the steeple of tho Presbyterian
church drop. Then she clattered
down the stairs. She stayed so long
that she forgot her pocketbook. But I
it was Just a step to the higher
ground for the bank building
wns the last one at the western end
or Main street and she came out all
right, as did Miss Blnkey.
Somehow the men . at the kindling
yards did not sound the flood signal.
Instead of one long blast there came
eight short toots and then a sus
tained whistle. ' That was the town
fire signal. ' Tho immediate result was
that the inhabitants leisurely laid
down their tasks and rtrolled out to
see where the blaze was. From the flat
valley they looked up Into the sky
to see where the sparks were flying.
Only one group was active. That waa
the volunteer fire department.
They yanked the single hose cart
of the town into Main street, trotted
on witn it ana wniried around the cor-
ner into Kauioad avenue, the chief
thoroughfare, that cut off at right an-
gles along the banks of Freeman Run,
the creek that went over the dum
ana men rippiea tnrougn the town
vim a wimn oi not more tnan a
lozen feet.- The firemen turned up
the valley and raced right at the wave
that was spreading towards them.
WARNED FIREMENOF DANGER
Fire Fighters Escaped to Safety, but
Four School Girls Were Swept .
to Death.
John Dezlel, a Carpenter and mov
ing picture man, was standing upon
the high ground nt the west, on Good
year's hill. He saw that the men
below could not see md he shouted
with all his might' You can see how
close this hill is to the valley when
you know they heard him. dropped
their ropes and ran to his place of
safety.
The hose cart was scooped up a
minute later. Dezlel's sister was be
side lilm. She screamed and pointed
down to Main street, where four
bchool girls were walking along arm
in arm, looking into the sky for
sparks. As they watched these four
were caught In the force of the wood
and water and hurled against the
brick bulldliiKS. Their bodies have
not been recovered.
Just before this Tarn Lawler, who
kept bar at the Commercial House,
came to tho door to see where the
fire was. He gathered an Idea of the
real disaster from the noise that came
from above. Lawler's house was only
a few doors away and he. threw off
hi apron and made for It. He grab
bed up his eleven months old baby,
called to his wife and she ran out'
with another child, three years old.
They were caught just where the
current swerved from the course of
Freeman Run and borne to the op-
poslte hlllfide. Lawler held hla baby
very close and linked one arm through
hla wife's. She held the other child
hand. '
The four were found 2.P00 yard
down the valley, lying Just out of
reach of the water. The wife was
dead and ao was the little girl, but
Lawler had kept hold of tho baby,
The tiny little peraon was still
breathing when the rescuers came,
The father's Injuries were the most

pital.
Joe McKinney's three-year-old boy
was carrleu out of the house by his
mother and they were caught up to-.
gether. The mother hell her boy
above the water and che waa dead
when they found her. But the young

POLICE ARREST VANDALS
Eight Have Been Caught and
Strict Guard I Maintained
Around Wreckage.
For the flr3t time the constabulary
found that it had to deal with vandals
who poked among the ruins Where a
strict guard was .not in force. Eight
arrests were made and the prisoners
wpp arraigned before Justice John,
son." They had to be locked up In the
school house for the Jail waa swept
away. As a result of these cases of
larceny, the cavalry police have
mounted their ponies and have es
t&bllshed patrol routes over the wholo
area where the wreckage lies.
No one is being allowed to cross
over the valley without an escort and
the orders are to drive any one out;
even the men and women who had
houses in the desolated tract and to
ride after and capture anyone who
does not take advantage of the first
warning
Frank and George Bayless, the
heads of the concern, have, been ex.
pected in town, but word came that
they were conllned to their beds in
Binghamton, N. Y., where the com
pany has Its chief ofl'.ces. as a result
of the shock of the disaster,
The office of the milla here was
tossed downstream In the impact of
the pulp wood that headed the wave.
The company's safe which was rolled
over In the sweep of the waters has
not been Injured. It will be opened
today and It la believed a consider
able sum of money will be found In
side.
The end of the month was to have
been and 'he 400 employes
woul1 have drawn their money late
Saturday afternoon. George Bayless
sent wrd to V. N. Hamlin, the mill
superintendent, to gather all the
hands and to pay them today.
Extra money has been sent to meet
the emergency. Hamlin himself did
nt suffer a great deal f'-om the
flood. HU house was In what Is known
Is known as Bayless flow, a short dls'
tance below the mill and It was close
egaliu-t the fringe of the valloy, In
comparative safety.
Hamlin was bruised In the flood, but
nls Injuries were not serious enough
to keep him in the hospital after to-
day. His instructions from President
Bayless are to clear enough of the
pulp wood away to keep the mill
busv. Most of the plant itself was
not damaged badly enough to hold up
work.
