o THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1896. FATAL FLOODS IN" COLORADD, Ten Persons Killed by an Awful Cloudburst at ‘Golden. THE TOWN SUBMERGED. Campers in Morrison Canyon Supposed to Have Been Swept Away. RAILROAD LINES DESTROYED. Reports of Further Casualties Still Coming in From Different Points. DENVER, Coxo., July 24.—A cloudburst struck the town of Golden, twelve miles north of this city, shortly after 6 o’clock to-night, and deluged the place. The bridge across Olear Creek at Fourth street was carried away. There were eight or ten people on itat the time, and it is ba- lieved all were lost. Others living on the opposite side of the creek were carried away by the flood and are thought to be drowned. The telegraph wires are down, and the only communication is by tele- phone. Rescuers are now at work search- ing for the bodies. A number of houses have been com- pletely swept away, and the water at a late hour to-night is still several feet deep in the dwellings borderingon the creek. The town is in total darkness, and it is with the greatest difficulty that the Fire Department, assisted by scores of citizens, was enabled to search submerged districts. At 10:30 ». . it is impossible to say what the loss will be in either property or life. A man justarrived here reports at least ten lives lost. So far the only bodies recovered are those of Mz, and Mrs. John- son, an aged couple, who lived .in Clark’s Addition, in Tucker Gulch, which is yet entirely under water. Two men who were seen struggling in the water were carried down stream, where they succeeded in catching limbs of trees and dragging themselves to the shore. Tne only bridge left standing be- tween the two parts of the town is the avenue bridge, and that is in such danger- ous condition that it cannot be used. The town is full of scenes of wretched- ness and miisery, and hours will be neces- sary to tell the fuli extent of the horror. Reporis were received at the Union de- pot to-nignt of extensive floods on the Rio Grande, between Puebio and Trinidad, and the Gulf, between Pueblo and Colo- rado Springs. Cloudbursts caused the damage. At Franceville Junction, be- ~ low Colorado Bprings, 600 feet of the Gulf tracks and the telephone wires are com- pletely washed away. Trains, much be- hind time are being run on the Santa Fe. The cloudburst sent a great flood of water down Morrison Canyon, eighteen miles wes: of Denver, late this afternoon and it is believed many people lost their lives. Morrison reports twenty-five peo- ple drowned near that town. Campers and summer tourists from Denver and other points, in tents and cottages, are located along the canyon for several miles. Old residents and ranchers rushea down to the camps when they realized the ex- tent of the storm, but they were too late. Names cannot be learned to-night. As far as known three lives have been lost . The dead are: Mrs, J. F. Edwards and Mr. and Mrs, A, Johnson. The dead at Morrison: Mrs. A. 8. Proctor and four children. Mrs, Moses Miller and three children, Mrs, J. F. Casey and five children. Mrs, Harris and four children., Others are believed to be drowned, and the total list will aggregate fully twenty- five persons. The foregoing list are Den- ver families. When the Ford-street bridge wentont the water svread all over Ford street and the surrounding bottoms, four to seven fest deep. Mrs. D. H. Turner and family were rescued by firemen and carried through three feet of water. Her three children were also saved. Farther down “theé river many families were rescued with ropes and planks by the firemen, * Anunknown man was swept away half a mile below the bridge, as he was seen in ‘a place just before the torrent passed over the spot. A large number of men were living in cabins above and below the town engaged in placer mining, and it is feared “that the sudden rise swept some of them away. Golden lies at the end of a canyon where it debouches into the plains. The streets are steep and slope to the creek sides. The ~ water caught by a half dozen mountains came into the streets and took everything of a movable character with it. The lights went out and travel was dangerous in the inky darkness. Bowlders three feet in diameter were rolleddown on the Gulf road. Sand cov- ers the track to a depth of three feet in the city. The lower part of.the north side known as Goosetown was overrun with water, but no. one has been able to get:to it to inspect its condition. Reports are out that the whole country east of bere was flooded and crops rained. No idea of the amount of loss to property can be obtained at present. Viola Foster of Denver, whose father is @ teritmaker, was with the party known to have been lost. She was carried down stream by the great wave for a distance, when parties heard her cries and managed to rescue her. Her companions, who had been living in a house just below the town, were swept awhy, and all must have been drowned. All of the bridges across Bear Creek ‘were swept away. It is impossible to get ‘across to learn if any fatalities occurred. ‘There was a big storm up the canyon be- fore the great wave came down, but no- body considered it dangerous., It proved, however, to be a great cloudburst, and ‘when the wave came down the canyon it found everybody nnprepared. P B - DISASTERS IN THE PAST. Loss of Life and Damage to Property by . the Rains. LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 24 —Heavy rains in Eastern Kentucky caused loss of life and damage to Peyton was drowned near Taylorsville. SPRINGFIELD, Omio, July 24.—It has --and . crops | yesterday ‘and last night. ‘A colored boy' was drowned at Nepton and Mrs. James | been raining almost continually for the past three days in this section, and as a result this city is flooded. The entire East End is inundated, and hundreds of houses are under water. All railroad traffic is stopped, and people are being moved from their houses in boats. Several camping parties were rescued from tree tops to-day, but so far as learned no lives were lost. CLARKSBURG, W. Vi, July 24— Eighteen hours of steady rain was fol- lowed by a cloudburst this afternoon and in afew minutes the.river rose ten feet. Cherry Camp and other small towns near Clarksburg were submerged and it is feared the worst is to come, as the river is rising & foot an hour. In Taylor County, the loss to farmers will be immense. Railroad - property throughout Ohio, West Virginia and Indiana has been dam- aged to suchan extent that several roads have been compelied to suspend traflic. SEATTLE DOCTOR'S OFFENSE. Mrs. Dawson's Physician Accused of Vio- lating Professional Ethics in the Late Divorce Suit. SEATTLE, Wasg., July 24.—An unusual case and one creating much discussion among professional men, especially physi- cians, has grown out of the celebrated Dawson divorce case. Dr. F. 8. Coe, one of the leading physicians of this ecity and State, has been cited to appear before the King County Medical Society and prove that he did not, during the trial of the divorce suit, flagrantly violate professional ethics in giving certain testimony on behalf of the plaintiff, Dr. L. R. Dawson. Mrs. Dawson, so the doctor averred when on the witness-stand, came to him as a patient and asked that he give her some kind of drug to guicken the heart's action, so that her husband, Dr. Dawson, woul conclude, after an examination, that it would be necessary to send her away on a trip. It was her desire to go on a pleasure tour to California, but her liege lord had refused to give his consent. Dr. Coe stated in detail another conver- sation, extremely delicate in its nature, with Mrs. Dawson, concerning certain ;veskdnenul to which the fair patient con- lessed. PORTLAND VESSEL LOST Fire Destroys the Steamship Messenger in Dock at St. Helens. The Captain, His Wife and the Crew Narrowly Escape Death in the Flames. ST. HELENS, Og., "July 24.—The steamer Messenger, owned by the Shaver Transportation Company, and running temporarily in the place of the Young America between Portland and St. Helens, 'was burned to the water’s edge this morn- ing about 1 o’clock. Captain and Mrs. Church, with the crew, had a hairbreadth escape from burning with the steamer. The fire resulted from the explosion of a kerosene lamp in the cabin. All hands except the watchman were in bed and -asleep, be being on the freight deck, so far from the fire that the flames had full control by the time they were noticed. The watchman’s first duty was to rouse the slee ping inmates of the cabin. By the time they had been got on to the wharf the Messenger was a mass of flames, The boat lay at Muckle Bros.” wharf, and had it not been for the splendid service rendered by the St. Helens fire depart- ment the large mill owned by this grm, together with its lumber-yard, would have been destroyed. Lhe Messenger was a stern-wheel steam- er, 100 feet long, 16 feet beam and 3 feet draft. Her cargo tonnage was 125.45 tons net. She was built in Portland in 1891 and was valued at about $6000. The escape of Mrs. Church from the burning vessel, with her baby in her arms, was thrilling in the extreme. The mother had exhausted the last minute of time in wrapping her little one snugly from the cold night air. As she reached the steam- er’s rail had not ready hands been there to |, draw her from the pursuing tongues of fire Mrs. Church and her child would have been victims of the flames. L P FIRE AT LA GRANDE. The Huntington Block and Its Conterts Destroyed. LA GRANDE, Ow., July 20.- Fire broke out in the Huntington block at an early bour yesterday morning and soon de- stroyed the building, which was divided into three compartments used as stores, together with 1ts contents. The fire at first was confined principally between the ceilling and roof of the building—a one- story structure—so that great difficulty was experienced 1n getting water upon tbe flames. Almost immediately after the breaking out of the fire the stores in the building became filled with smoke, mak- ing it impossible to save any of the goods which they contained. The origin of the fire is not known. The principal losses are: A. C. Hunt- ington $4000, insurance $3000; G. H. Curry $3500, insurance $2000; D. F. Pierce $1500, insurance $1000; G. H. Riohley $2000, in- surance $1000. e DAMAGE AROUND VANCOUVER. Forest Fires Stll Burning in Seotions of the Province, VANCOUVER, B.

SEATTLE, Wasn., July 2¢.—Free-silver Republicans of this city are much elated to-night over the nomination by their Enrt at St. Louis of Bryan and Sewail, ut the selection of Watson as the Peo- ple’s party Vice-Presidential candidate was not received with great favor by local Populists. The Populist sentiment ap- poars to have been for a straight-out nomi- nation or indorsement of both Bryan and Sewall. Hon. John Wiley, a bolting Re- publican and leader of the free-silver forces of this State, upon the announcement of Watson’s nomination said: “Sewall will no doubt withdraw from the ticket by resignation and in the event of Bryan’s election, of which result there is cely a question, he would make an admirable Secretary of the Navy. Such an arrangement may be already contem- Plated. I think itis.” Los Angeles Ratification.

THEIR BOAT CAPSIZED. Two Young Women and Their Soldier Escorts Caught in an Eddy. ASSISTANGE COMES T00 LATE. Bodies of the Victims Plainly Szen Through the Clear Waters of the Stream. VANCOUVER, Wass., July 24.—By the overturning of a rowboat in an eddy below a milldam in the Washougal River, not far from Vancouver, yesterday forenoon, four persons were drowned. They were: Henry L. Edson, corporal of the Four- teenth Infantry; Charles Morris, private, of the Fourteenth Infantry band; Laura Guard, 18 years old, of Vancouver; Emma Young, 19 years old, of Vancouver. At a Iate hour last night the bodies of the vic- tims were recovered and taken to Vancou- ver in the hospital ambulance ana an es- cort wagon from the barracks. A company of young people went across the Washougal to pick blackberries yester- day morning. They were using an old boat which had been secured from the mill and which had been used by several boating parties. The blackberrying party started at 10 o’clock to return to the camp, which had been established on the other shore. Miss Guard, Miss Young and the two young men got into the boat. The craft dipped water and the voung ladies became frightened. Their fright only added to their danger and lightly counseling them to “keep cool” the young men pushed off for the other side. The river is only forty feet wide at that point, but it is about sixteen feet deep and the water swirls around in an eddy with considerable force. The eddy caught the rocking boat and upset it, precipitating the occupants into the water. Miss Guard and young Morris clung to the boat's side and the other two went down almost instantly. *Mrs. Lipscomb, in charge of the camp- ing party, was a witness to the accident. She ran to the river bank just in time to see Morris and Miss Guard clinging to the boat. They were calling for help. Edson and his companion had gone down. Mrs. Lipscomb was helpless and could only scream for help, which did not come in time to save the lives of -any of the four. It was nearly an hour before the other campers got ‘back and learned of the dis- aster. The water was so clear that the bodies of the four could be seen at-the bot- tom of the creek. The naws was brought to the city by Private Irwin of the Fourteenth Infantry, who arrived at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. It was a sad outing party that returned to Vancouver. The unfortunate young men and women were well known, and their untimely end, due to carelessness, it is thought, casts a gloom over the city. Miss Laura Guard’s mother is a widow who livesat Vancouver, and Miss Young is the daughter of a farmer near the barracks. Edson enlisted in the Fourteenth Infantry at Seattle four years ago. His brother, Colonel E. P. Edson, is a prominent lawyer of Seattle. Morris is a musician whose parents live at Fort Sherman. He is a member of the infantry band. SKAGES SPRINGS HERDINE An Oakland Young Lady Braves Death and Is Nearly Vangquished. Ascenis a Precipitous Reck and Is With Di‘ficulty Rescued From Her High Perch. SANTA ROSA, Can., July 24.— The guests of Skaggs Sorings were thrown into an uproar yesterday when the news was brought in that one of a party of moun- tain climbers from the springs'was occupy- ing a dangeroue position on top of a huge rock 100 feet above the ground:and utterly unable to reach terra firma. ' A party of Oakland and San Francisco people had started out in the morning to view the sights from the top of the highest peak in the neighborhood,” About four miles from the springs, and in one of the wildest spots in the vicinity, a precipitous rock 100 feet in height tops a barren mountain peak. Several of the party attempted to scale this rock without success, and all but one declared the feat impossible. The one who thought it possible was Miss Sadie Meyerfriendz, well known in Oakland society. After several futile at- tempts this venturesome Miss reached the top. But when she looked around from | her lofty perch she w3s overcome by a fit of dizziness and began calling for assiat ance. The young men in the party were unequal to the task of rescuing the help- hi n|§hu of Silver” and | less girl and & messenger was dispatched in haste for ropes, ladders and a large basket. Footholds were dug in the face of the rock and a ladder was fixed in posi- tion, but it was soon found to be too short to admit of the young lady reaching the top rung without great danger. The now badly frightened girl refused to attempt the descent and it remained for a bright young man from San Francisco to accomplish the rescue. He attachea long ropes to the big basket and passed the loose ends clear over the rock. Theyoung lady was induced to trust her 120 pounds in this frail support, and several pairs of strong arms allowed the fair freight to dump down the sides of the rock amid the screams of the principal actress and the loud cheers of her friends. § s g s Sentenced for a Calico Killing. BAN BERNARDINQ, CaL., July 24— ‘A deputy Sheriff to-day took E. P. Scol- lard north to serve his sentence of seven years’ imprisonment in Ban Quentin. On|‘ May 17 Scollard killed Albert P. Roland in a saloon fight at Calico, in this county. At the time of the tragedy two men were figthung over a game of cards, and Scollard attempted to separate them. One of the men then attacked Scollard, who drew a revolver and fatally shot Roland. e JOINT DEBATE AT TULARE. ‘ Gold and Silver Fovces Clash on a Lec- ture Platform. TULARE, CaL., July 24.—The forces of gold and silver were pittea against each other to-night at Library Hall, by A.J. Pillsbury of Tulare, and J. W. Martin of Woodyille engaging in a joint debate. Pillsbury argued for the continuance of the present gold standard, while J. W. Martin advocated the free and unlimited coinage of silver. The audience was large and gave both speakers generous applause. An admission fee of 10 cents was charged, the proceeds to be given to the Equal Suffrage Club of Tulare.” Mrs. W. W. Whittington presided and introduced the speakers. A quartet con- sisting of Messrs. Oakford and Carkeek, Mrs. ¢, W. Tozer and Miss Pearl Thomp- son o’ened the entertainment with aporo- | g’mu lonfs composed by Mrs. A. D. B. almer. The silver song was rendered, Mrs. Tozer leading. It begins with the lines: | Sixteen to one is the battle cry— | Martin will tell you why. ‘This was given a hearty encore and the quartet responded with the gold song, be- ginning: Bo vote for good sound money— The shining yellow gold, Passing in_any country where tnings are bought and sold. Ishasa ndard vaiué: it never, never flops good for old-line Democrats, Repubiicans and “Pops. In their harangues the debaters went over the ground which forms the base of financial argument from end toend of this broad land. The *‘crime of '73” and Lom- bard street were ‘‘swatted’ by Martin, but } his attacks were ably met and repelled by his adversary. Pillshury twitted Martin because the latter avoided mention of Thomas Jefferson’s name.. He declared that for a Democratic orator to ignore the father of his party was unusual. Martin retorted with a flood of quotations from the patron saint of Democracy and was applatdded by the crowd. Pillsbury is one of the editors and pro- | prietors of the Tulare Register and has made his influence felt throughout the San Joafinin Valley. The Register is a stanch Republican paper and is the only sound-money 0 n paper in the San Joaguin Valley. lelsbu? has just been appointed secretary of the bureau of literature of the Republican State Central Committee. His duties will commence at once with head- quarters at San Francisco. | Martin is a farmer and stockman of ‘Woodville. He is an able speaker and stoutly presented his side of the discus- sion.
