Big Scare Over Austin Dam.
The wooden dam of tbe Bay less Paper
and Pulp Co., at Austin, Pa., gave tbe
people at tbat place another big scare last
week during tbe blgb water, and rest
dents in tbe valley across which the dam
is built were in a state of panic for sev
eral days, fleeing to tbe bills for safety
Tbe sudden rise in the streem filled the
dam fastor tban tbe outlet could release
tbe water, and In a short time the flood
was ruuulog over the top of tbe dam
making a perilous situation for those In
the track of tbe flood, for what minute
tbe dam would give way letting tbe great
wall of water rush down upon them tbey
knew uot. The hillsides were filled with
people wba bad taken refuge there, and
the hotels made arrangements to accom
modate their patrons lu the bills. Tbe
people of the village of Costello two miles
fartbur down the stream were in a lik
panic and adopted tbe same precautionary
methods of safety.
Fortunately tbe dam held until the
waters began to recede, but the danger
from another horror such as they ex per
ienced last Soptemher was momentarily
Imminent. . In that terrible disaster the
two towns were wiped out and nearly
hundred human beings lost their lives.
The dam is but forty feet high, yet
holds enough water to' sweep a wlda
valley of everything that lies before It tor
miles, then what would a three-hundred-loot
dam, such as is proposed for Tlo
nesl creek do to the innocent souls liv
ing below in its wake? The very thoughts
of such sn outrage is euotigh to throw a
community Into a stale of panic.
