Many Pathetic Incidents and Acta of Heroism Are Recorded In This Ter rible Disaster That Wiped Out 8o Many Lives In the Little Pennsyl vania Village Survivors Delving Into the Dsbr, Looking For Bodies of Relatives and Friends. The town of Austin, Pa., today is practically a desert. Two mini ature streams of water trickle through the mnln streets and are mute testimonials of the solid wall of billions of gallons of wnter that swept away Austin Saturday. The state constabulary arrived here and they are pairolllng 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 t-nrovered and there Is a great need of coffins. The school house on tho hill linn been converted Into a morguo and U Is crammed with bodies, uoaios 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 thoy will be swept down In the mountain creeks to the Susquehanna river. The flood has covered up every thing with wreckage and not ven a foundation or cellar remains. Ex cept for the bank building the site of Austin Is a leveled mnss of buildings and bits of wreckage. Fires burned among piles of driftwood and many bodies were burned. At the Duflulo & Susquehanna car shnns a areat nlle of bodies Is be lieved to have been caught beneath thet wreckage. Relief trains have been sent from Wllllamsport, Port Allegheny, St. Mary's. Olean, Coming, Carloton and Coudersport. Three carloads of provisions and clothing were sent from Wllllamsport and the citizens have raised over a itimiiDnil rinllnre ax ft rotlpf fiinri. All the cities In the state are banding In contributions to Austin. Tbe tents sent by the state depart ment nroved a eodsend. It rained a'l Sunday and the Injured women and rhlldren 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. ' . Manv of those who escaped from the wall of wster 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 bee.i 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 vlllnge ten miles south of Austin, states that ten of its residents lost their lives in the flood which de scended from Austin on them. Fifty buildings were washed away. STEAM DERRICK AT WORK Clearing Wreckage Around Goodyear Pond, Where Many Dead Are:' Thought to Be Burled. 1 A big steam derrick was put to work on the broken end! of the Buf falo ft Susquehanna railroad and the work of clearing the wreckage around the Goodyear pond, where many per sons 'are supposed to be burled, la progressing rapidly. With the arrival at Austin of a car load of coffins the grimness of the tragedy which has practically ' oblit erated thnt town was impressed upon the survivors and a considerable num ber of workers began anew their ef forts to mine deeply Into the hard bills of debris. Many evidences of the tremendous power of the iood were seen by the workers in. the town. Engines weigh ing 25 tons were rolled along the ground, an Immense steel hopper was carried a half mile and thrown through the side of a house and stee! freight cars were bent double. The greatest damage was done by the piles of cut lumber swept before the flood. .They acted as a great bat tering ram wh!ch swept buildings from their foundations and1 unques tionably caused the deaths of scores v.ho otherwise might have escaped after' surviving tho first rush of the water. Investigation into the cause of the breaking of the dam will be started at once, according to - officials in charge of the work of rescue. That (horo had been constant danger of the catastrophe of Saturday, due to the instability of the structure and of the great water pressure, was known tc many residents of the towns and a thorough investigation Is demanded by many of tho survivors. One of the mcst pathetic in the long list of tragedies is the case of Joseph Leeman, a night worker, who was (sleep at his home and did not hear the alarm. When the rush of water swallowed up his little home, he was tossed out upon a pile of floating de Iris and eventually floated to a land' ing, a mile and a half below the vil lage. Wounded and bruised, he made hla way back, only to find that his wifo and four children bad perished In the waters. Leemnn went violently In sane. His mvings were pitiful. Sev eral roen were required to hold him. TRIED TO SAVE PARENTS Daughter Wat Guiding Old Couple to Place of Safety When Church Fell Upon Thtm. The manner In which the people of Austin lost their Uvea is typified In the case of the family of State Sen ator Frank E. Baldwin. His sister, Mrs. M. C. Collins, had a few seconds more warning than many. Her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. John Bald win, were In their home In Turner street, which' lay between the dam find the chief thoroughfare Mrs. Collins thought Immediately that her father was crippled and that her mother was 'very Inflrm and al most blind. She ran to their house, roused them and started along the sidewalk that led to one of the cross streets to tl hills. Their way was past the Presbyterian church and as they passed ' this ' building tbe ' ap proaching column reached them. A man who stood upon one of the cafe 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 (At 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 a great number of small bodies will be brought out. Saturday, of course, school was not in session and the children were scattered ov 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 ago. But there have been murmurlngs against the heavy bulk of water that It restrained even In spite of Ita newness. The women of the town especially have worried about the dy 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 so rreeiy ana wun 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 at the barrier it was found that the concrete had slipped down something like 13 Inches. After that the notches weru'eut In the upper sur face to lessen the pressure by per mltttng 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 these notches had been filled up completely with con crete and that work was In progress on the other. Five feet of new con' crete was found in thia gap and the forms were tip for more. Work had been done upon it on Saturday. The examination of Farley Gannett, engineer for the state water supply commission, . showed 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. Gannett found a man, who, from the hillside, saw that burst of the wall. SAW THE DAM BREAK Coudersport 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 from 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," Tbe 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 which 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 nad caused . the break. He will "make a clooe inspec tion of the designs before he makes hla report to the water supply com mission. The dam was owned by the Bay less Pulp Paper company, which has Its headquarters In Blnghamton, N. Y. Tbe vast amount of water confined above the dam was used In the pro cesses of washing pulp after its chem leal treatments before it Is turned In to paper. DAVIS GAVE ALARM Saved Many Lives by Telephoning to Town Before Water Arrived. After the false alarm of last spring 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 was agreed that one long blast 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 ihe 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 tHke 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 busi ness around tho noon hour. It was a few minutes after 2 p. m. that he heard the sound of which the town had been In dread. 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 ns everyone else who had the chance gave it. They had been thinking a lot about tho Johnstown disaster, had these Austin people and In every case they appear to have fol lowed the action of history. 'PHONE GIRLS GOT BUSY Spread the Alarm Over Wires and Then Riished to 8afety. "The dRtn 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, Katherlne 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. They called up the Stand ard Wood company, told the man who answered to send out his warnlngand 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 the Presbyterian church drop. Then she clattered down the stairs. She stayed so long that, she forgot her pocketbook. But it was just a step to tbe higher ground for the bank, building was the last one at the western end of Main street and she came out all right, as did Miss Binkey. : 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.1 That was 'the town fire signal. 'Tho immediate result was that the inhabitants leisurely laid down their tasks and strolled 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 was the' volunteer fire department. They yanked the single hose cart of the town into Main street, trotted off with it and whirled around the cor ner into Railroad avenue, the chief thoroughfare, that cut oft at right an gles along the banks of Freeman Run, the creek that went over the dum and then rippled through the town with a width of not more than a dozen '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 at the west, on Good rear's bill. He saw that the men below could not see snd 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 3lster was be side him. 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 (he Commercial House, came to tho door to see where the Are 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 oft bis 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 posite hillside. Lawler held his baby very close and linked one arm through his wife's. She held the other child's band.' The four were found 2,000 yards down the valley, lying Just out of reach of the water. The wife was dead and so was the little girl, but Lawler had kept hold of tho baby. The tiny little person was Btill breathing when the rescuers came. The father's Injuries were the most severe of any of tho3e who are now In the Northern Pennsylvania hos pital. Joe McKlnney'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 she was dead when they found her. Buty young ster looked up at the man who grasr ed his arm and said: "Is that thing coming apain. My mamma could not hold me any longer. She could not walk any further." POLICE ARREST VANDALS Eight Have Been Caught and a Strict Guard Is Maintained Around Wreckage. For the fl3t time tho constabulary found that It bad to deal with vandals who poked among the ruins Where a strict guard was .not In force. Eight arrests were made and the prisoners wepi arraigned before Justice John son.' They had to be locked up In the school house' for the jail was swept away.' As a result of these cases of larceny, the cavalry police have mounted ' their ponies and have es tablished patrol routes over the wliolo 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 Georgo Bayless, , the heads of the concern, have been ex pected In town, but word came that they were conllned to their beds in Blnghamton, N. Y., where the com pany has Its chief offices, as a result of tbe shock of the disaster. The office of the mills 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 Is believed a consider able sum of money will be found in side. The end of the month was to have been pay day and the 400 employes would have drawn their money late Saturday afternoon; George Bayless sent word to F. N. Hamlin, the mill superintendent, to gather all the hands and to pay them today. . Extra money has been sent to meet tbe emergency. Hamlin hlmBelt did not suffer a great ' deal f'-om the flood. Hla house was In what is known U known as Bayless Row, a short dis tance below the mill and It was close egnlnft the fringe of the valloy, In comparative snfety. Hamlin was bruised In the flood, but his Injuries were not serloii3 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 busy. Most of the plant Itself was not damaged badly enough to hold up work.
