MANY LIVES WERE SAVED BY QUICK, HEROIC WORK. Women and Men Risked Death to Give Warning as the Swirling Waters Rushed Over Town. (Special from a Staff Correspondent of The Evening World) AUSTIN, -Pa. Oct. 2,—Although the latest estimate of the} mumber of victims of the Austin disaster places the total at about 125, there is ground for the claims of many who hold that the number slain by the flood and fire will reach 500. Dr. Dixon of the Pennsylvania | State Board of Health adheres to the lower figure. The people of Austin | who survived the visitation that devastated their valley are sure Dr. Dixon’s figures are too low. | Dr. Dixon said this afternoon that eighty bodies had been recovered ‘and twenty-two persons rescued from the ruins, State police have arrested ten persons for pillaging. Fifty-five troopers from the Pottsville and Wilkes-Barre barracks are on the ground, To the end that there may be a reasonably accurate determination of the number who lost their lives, a census of survivors has been ordered. ‘All who were residents of Austin at the time of the flood will be ques- ‘tioned as to the fate of members of their families and of their friends. 4 A tour of the five miles of desolate, rain soaked valley on foot seems to show that the authorities are not fully aware of the awful force of the flood or of its wide reaching influence. Certainly there must be} ; where stood the busiest portion of Austin, In proportion to the esti- mated number of victims in Austin and elsewhere, more bodies have been found remote from what was the business district than in it. NO SYSTEMATIC SEARCH VET MADE FOR DEAD Thus far no systematic search of the five-mile-long lines of timber and rubbish has been made. The surface, so to speak, has been scratched. The Magnitude of the task is so appalling, the possibilities of the result of pains- | taking probing in the ruins are so gruesome, that the people of Austin and Costello have scarcely turned a hand save in the direction of saving their | personal effects whei they can be traced and inquiring tearfully concern- ing missing relatives.

Only the cowboy training of Colonel ‘Theodore Roosevelt saved tho life of his wife in a mishap of the road that became known to-day when the villagers at Oyster Bay began asking one another why it was the entire Roosevelt family failed to appear at church yesterday, It has become a part of the regular life of the village to stand outside the little church, half way from the station to Sagamore Hill, and watch the Roose- velts appear for devotions, When inquiry was made {t was learned that Saturday afternoon Col. and Mrs. Roosevelt, with Archie, were riding along the Cove Road in front of Dolland's blackamith shop. Mrs. Roose- velt was mounted on her favorite horse. The animal reared at sight of the blacksmith's place and threw her heavily to the ground. She struck on her shoulders and head, and her foot caught in the stirrup. ‘That was where former Cowboy Roose- velt was of more value to the family | than former President Roosevelt.
