Of necessity there is little ceremony about the burials, The bodies are loaded into wagons as they are found and carted to the eemetery, where a squad of men is kept busy digging graves. The supply of coffins snd wooden boxes is exhausted. Many of tho bodies have been interred wrapped in blankets. DIGGING IN DEBRIS FOR BODIES. The mile long and two blocks’ wide sweep of the flood through the “wn of Heppner has been pretty well cleared and exploring parties are working down the creek at bends and under piles of debris, where 1t is expected scores of other bodies will be recovered. Probably five hundred, | , al’ told, perished. Had it not been for a heroic horseman named Leslie Matlock, the speed ‘of whose animal defied the flood, the loss of life would have been greater, especially in the towns of Lexington and Ione, further down the creek. Young Matlock had been up the gulch from Heppner when the cloud- ‘burst hurled its millions of gallons of water to the earth. Realizing the danger of the people in the valley below, and perhaps recalling a similar hero of the Johnstown flood, he started out ahead of the wall of water, the roar of which he could hear behind him. HORSEMAN CARRIED FLOOD WARNING, Down through the main street of Heppner he rode, digging his spurs into his horse's flanks, never stopping a second and as he passed%n, hatless, deaning far over the pummel of the saddle and pointing with his free hand | back of him he shouted to the people the warning of the flood which was ‘ coming. On through the town, out into the open country and then to the town of ‘Lexington, named after the town celebrated through war and Paul Revere’s ride, he rode, shouting to all that death and devastation were following close behind. Between Heppner and Lexington ,i!s horse had gained considerable or the flood, partly because there was a stignt elevation at one place where lake would be formed and party because the water, in pushing the houses of Heppner before it hud caused many temporary dams which restrained * the flood until the pressure became too great and crushed through them as if they had been egg shells. At Lexington the people had the warning in sufficient time to escape. ‘At least, it is believed that most of them escaped although the town was wrecked when the waters reached it. When Matlock reached Ione aii animal fell dead from exhaustion under him, and then he, too, took {to high ground to escape the torrent. Portland, Spokane, aud other cities have started relief funds. In few minutes $5,000 was raised in Portlan. and supplies were started mn a special train. All neighboring towns are hurrying supplies and men to the distressed community. Considerable trouble will be met 4m reaching’ Heppner as the railroad tracks have been washed out for several miles and all wagon roads have been destroyed. SAW WAVE OF DEATH ENGULF CITY, Heppner, was ar eye-witness of the disaster. In company witb Frank Spaulding he left Heppner about 10.30 Sunday night on horseback, “On Sunday afternoon,” said McAtee, “there bad been a severe rain- storm, accompanied by much wind and lightning. I was standing in front y pf the house and noticed that a cloud of remarkablé density approached the top of the hill on the east side of the canyon. I turned for a moment, when a roar caused me to look again at the hill. I saw a wall of water, the height of which I would be afraid to gauge, rushing down the mountain, their foundations. “The terrific storm struck the upper part of the town first. The risi- dence of Thomas Howard was the first to fall, and his entire family was | drowned. In the Krug home also every person was drowned, as was the case in the Hale and Saling residences. All of these houses were about four o: five blocks above the business centre. The house of Abram Ham- sick was entirely @emolished, “The Palace Hotel was the first building to stem the tide, and all the guests were saved, but the houses betow that structure were overturned and wrecked, The residence of G. A. Rhea was carried away and the en- tire family, consisting of wife and three daughters and Miss Adkins, a cousin,. were lost. “Mr, Rhea was at Portland attending the Masonic convention. C, E, Redfield, whose residence was completely destroyed, was also absent. His | wife and baby were drowned.

HIS WIFE IS PROSTRATED AND SON IS TOO ILL TO BE TOLD. Overwork in the Office and Deep Concern Over the Poor Health of His Family Had so Troubled Him That He Became Tem- porarily Insane—Business Affairs’ Are All Right. Frank Dean, Vice-President of the Seaboard National Bank and former cashier of the Fifth Avenue Bank, committed suicide to-day at his resi~ dence, No, 152 Highland avenue, Bast Orange, N. J., by shooting himself in the head. Temporary insanity, brought on by overwork and worry con- cerning the ill-health of his wife and fourteen-ycar-old son Rodney, is ascribed as the cause of the suicide. Mr. Dean, who was forty-one years old, was born in Brooklyn. He bew f£an in the Fifth Avenue Bank in a minor capacity tweaty years age, ad uy hard work advanced himself to the position of cashier. He was also the owner of some stock, which was quoted in Wall street yesterday at 4,000, His ability in banking won him an offer to become Vice-President of the Seaboard National at a large increase in salary, and he took the new position on Jan. 30 last. He plunged at once into his work, seeking: hd familiarize himself with every detail of the great institution DEVOTED TO INVALID WIFE. In addition to his business cares he was assiduous in his devotion to his invalid wife. Recently his son was stricken with pneumonia, and Mr. Dean lost a great deal of sleep. He arose as usual to-day and dreesed himself as though he were going _ After saying gocd-by to his wife and son, instead of going out to take the train he made his way to the cellar of the house, where he shot himself. The notse of the report terrified Mrs. Dean and the servants, as it was thought that he had departed for the station. He was dead when neighbors arrived. Mrs. Dean is utterly prostrated by the suicide of her husband. who is very weak, has not been told of the death of his father. 8. G. Bayne, President of the Seaboard Bank, was notified of the suicide by telephone from Mr. Dean’s home. He sald to an Bvening World re porter: “No other reason than worry can be named as causing Mr. Dean to com mit suicide. He had no financial Interest in the bank, did not speculate stocks and was a careful financier. He worried’about his business and wife and child, and I suppose his mind gave way under the strain.” Col. J. J. Slocum, of Russell Sage's office, knew Mr. Dean from the time he entered the Fifth Avenue Bank until he left it to take a higher place, A CONSCIENTIOUS WORKER. ele “He was a hard, conscientious worker,” sald Col. Slocum, Jan coal He was a great hand for gathering and worrying over small details. In addition he was not strong, and I think Overwork and worry unbalanced his mind.” Yesterday Mr. Dean celebrated at his home the sixteenth anniversary of his wedding, but Mrs, Dean was too ill to take active part in the fea tivities. Some of his guests from Brooklyn remained at the house over night and were there when he killed himself. His mother, Mrs, Ellen M. Dean, seventy years old, was also in the house at the time. The County Physician and Chief ot Police after an investigation decidea that Mr. Dean shot himself while temmbrarily insane. It is believed that Mr, Dean premeditated suicide from the fact that never until to-day did his family know of a revolver in the house. The weapon is apparently new and was probably purchased yesterday. An- other thing that makes it appear that Mr. Dean intengei to kill himset when he left the bank yesterday was that he thanked President Bayne and other officials quite effusively for the kindness they had shown him since his connection with the: institution, The boy, rowae was due for a hit and he got it Keister juggled long to reach third after inning seen here this jomas nailed Van's ne got_home.
