The Weather Generally Fair FORTIETH YEA! DESCRIBES TOUR IN BAD LANDS FLOODED AREAS of} J. B. Sayler, of Bismarck, Makes. Trip in His Automobile ~ 1 TELLS OF GREAT DAMAGE! One Cannot Realize Extent Without Seeing it, He Says | | “I have heard stories of cloudbursts | and always thought they were exag:| gerated—but the accounts | read in: The Tribune were mighty conserva- tive,” said J. B. Sayler, district mana- ger of Thompson Yards Inc., who has returned to (Bismarck from a motor | trip into Montana, | (Mr. Sayler was on the edge of the terrific storms which swept western; ‘Nerth Dakota and eastern Montana, | and he passed through the devastated | territory on his return, It is believed! Mr. Sayler. was the first autoist to/ reach Bismarck after passing through | the district. | Mr. Sayler reached Beach Saturday | noon, after-having been in’a hail and’ tain storm at Carlyle, Montana. Could Swim 'a Horse | “Beach ewas g town filled with rob bish and drift wood,” said Mr. Sayler. | “Wooden sidewalks had been float- ing’ around in the water /and they were found most any place after the water reeeded. At one point west of the Golden Valley hotel there had been enough water in the streets for a horse to swim in. The Golden Val- ley Lumber company had just put a carfoad of cement in a storehouse. The water rose five feet in the place, destroying most of tlie cement.” The cloud from which water burst over a large area centered near Beach, extended nearly west to Wibaux and moved north and circled over Medora and the Bad Lands, !Mr. Sayler said. West of Beach there was a strip of, one-half mile~ of Northern Pacitic track which was carried beyond the wagon road, 100 feet away, by the current, he said. ‘Between Sentniel Butte and Mcdora there were seven gaps in the railroad. Between Sentinel Butte and Beach the country is fairly level and the demage which was caused chiefly by the rust of waters from ravines, not great. Ton Rocks Mo i “A Northern Pacific superintendept told me that there were many places ulong the road where rocks-weighing from 100 to. 1,000 pounds, and even some weighing 2/000 pounds,” were moved. 100/t0.900. feet_by the wall of water,” Mr, Sayler said.>. “It seems almost unbelievable, but one can be-' Ifeve these things after seeing results of the cloudburst.” $ \No. 7 had gone over the track near’ Rider, where three section men lost, theiy lives, about 30 minutés before the men were drowned, and they be- lieved the track safe, Mr. Saylér said. This was after the cloudburst. How- ‘ever, the great damage was not done until an hour or two afterwards when- the water’ rushed down from the hills. ‘The men on the speeder turned a curve where the track had been broken and were swept into 30 to 40 feet of water, Mr. Sayler said. The speeder turned over. The section foreman held on to a slender support for two or three hours before he was rescued, holding one of the drowned: men by the hand, but finally became exhausted and the man slipped ffom him to his: death. ‘The body of one mag which was not found is believed to in a coulee,’ which was filled with 2 to 5 feet of mud and sti has 20 feet of water in ‘it, Mr. Sayler said.
