PRICE ONE CENTS TOWN WIPED OUT, dU PEROONG DI IN WATERGPOUT + Water Flowed Through the Village an Hour and a Half, and One Hotel Was Destroyed with All Its Occupants, More Than One Hundred Bodies Have Been Recovered from the Ruins of Heppner, Ore.---Other Places Said to Be Flood- Swept. SPOKANE, Wash., Jun2 15.—A waterspout flooded Willow Creek and ‘wired out the town of Heppner, Ore., yesterday evening, killing, according to the meagre advices received here, between 350 and 500 people. Communi- ition is interrupted by the storm. The latest advices, received four hours @g0, were that the bodies of 105 of the drowned had been recovered. Among the drowned are: ‘HOWARD, THOMAS, and family KRUG family. HINDS, ROBERT, and famliy. DAWSON, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. (JONES, JAMES, and family. 'M’SWARD, Dr. RHPA, family of 8, A. OARRIS, ——, and family. \ANDREWS, Mrs. CHARLDS, and AYRES, JOHN, and family. Several’ Chinese. PATTISON, BEN, and wife. NOBLE, GEORGE, and family. Occupants of the Heppner Hotel. MATTY family. HIGGS, Dr., and child. ELLIOTT, Miss. ELDER, Mrs, “child. COHEN, WILLIAM, and family, WELLS, ——~ REDFERN, an attorney, and family. WIEGHR, Dr. WATTS, WILLIAM, and family. It appears that the waterspout generated between 6 and 7 o'clock in the evening, when most of the people in the town were in their homes at the pvening meal. Willow Creek, ordinarily an insignificant stream, became hn irresistible torrent, sweeping all before it. OTHER LIVES MAY BE LOST. The town of Heppner had about 1,250 inhabitants and {s the county seat of Morrow County, Ore, It is the terminus of a branch of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Co. The country roundabout {s rich in farming and grazing lands and if the reports of loss of life in the town itself are true, edditional loss of life must have been caused throughout the lowlands along Willow Creek in the country. Messengers have been sent from Ione and Arlington for full advices. Officials of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Co. have been notified that their depot in Heppner has been washed away and that there has been heavy loss of life there. TREMENDOUS STORMS ELSEWHRE., Telegrams received here indicate that there were waterspouts and tre- mendots storms all through the Northwest vesterday afternoon and even- Ing. Butte, Montana, reports that the Northern Pacific Railroad there- @bouts is tied up by damage done by waterspouts. Valley Creek, spanned ‘oy the Northern Pacific with a bridge 100 feet high, was so swollen by a ‘waterspout that part of the bridge was carried away. The first definite news reached Arlington by messenger and confirms the report that 300 persons were drowned. Wire communication will be established shortly. The cloudburst was so tremendous that Willow Crock ‘ overflowed the town of Heppner for an hour and a half, utterly wiping out |= all the buildings in its path. ‘The Heppner Hote} was washed away and all In it at the time were |X drowned. Practically there was no warning of the rush of waters, as the |¥ cloudburst occurred somé distance from the town, and the first intimation of danger came in the shape of a wall of water sweeping down the valley of the little crook, Whole families were carried away. Corpses are scattered for miles ajJong the route of the flood and days must elapse before the full extent of the catastrophe becomes known.

L. 1., June 15.—After waiting for nearly an hour at the start- Ing line, the committve boat eignalied at noon to-day that the race between Rellance, Constitution and Columbia Was postponed until Iater in the day. The postponement was due to the tardi- ness of the three sloops in moving away trom their moorings. The wind at that hour was blowing at an eighteen-knot rate, kicking a high sea. The unfavor- | able weather conditions served to delay the aloopa.

Young Milan had recently been living in Constantinople. His partisans posted a proclamation on the wails of Belgra: and it was torn down by King Peter's supporters, after a free fight Word has been recéived from Geneva that King Peter will start at once for this city.

MacFarlane, of the Goddard Anti-Policy Society, was ehot and killed to-day by William Spencer, alias Rogers, a negro, who was awaiting trial on a charge of having policy slips in his possession. Philip Bray, assistant superintendent of the society, who was with MacFarlane, was struck by a stray bullet and wounded in the left arm, + The galleries around the great court in the building Were crowded; all of the courts were in session, and the various offices were filled with} Me persons on business bent when the noise of the shots echoed through thé} inclosure, The word pandemonium does not describe the scene following: : | the Shooting—the frantic struggle of tha murderer with the men ‘whe x | selzed him, the running to and fro of frightened witnesses of the crime,’ the rush of hundreds to the second, or General Sessions, floor. SPENCER QUICKLY INDICTED, - Within an hour after the shooting Spencer had been indicted for murder in the first degree by the Grand Jury and his picture had been taken for the: Rogues’ Gallery at Headquarters. Less than three hours after the shooting i | he was arraigned, and on next Monday he will be placed on trial for his | 5 life in the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court. 7 When the indictment against Spencer was handed up to Recordey Goff the negro was in the court-room. The Recorder asked him if he neg employed counsel and if he had means to employ counsel. HH Spencer said he had no counsel and no means, but he expected fe perhaps his friends might get a lawyer for him. Recorder Goff sald Be, would ascign counsel, and named former Civil Justice Wauhope Lynn to; take charge of Spencer's case. A “Do you want to plead now or do you desire to consult with your coum} sel?" asked the Recorder. F “I guess 1d better talk to my lawyer first,” sald Spencer, Pleading to the indictment was deferred until to-morrow.

The noise of the shots—four in all—reverberation through the wide reaches of the interior of the building brought out of the court-rooms and! offices hundreds of men and women.

Justice Cowing, sitting ip Part IV, adjourned his court at the time, Other judges ordered the courte room doors locked. Soon the news spread to the street and the building was so jammed that !t was impossible to move from one floor to anoth until reserves were mustered.
