DEPUTY MARSHAL DICK.
JoHNsTowN, June 4th.-Deputy Marshal
Dick Is man whose condition exCites gen.
eral pity. His total bereavement. of wife.
family, and relatives has affected his brain,
1t Is thought, and he goes riding about the
country giving all the assistance in his
power and keeping an especial lookout for
law w-breakers and yandals. He distin-
guished himself on several occasions, it is
reported, by shooting HungarianS whom
, be detected pillaging the dead, but his last
action is particularly noteworthy A de-
tective and two officers had arrested,
TWO NOTORIOUS CROOKS
| That reached town on Monday evening.
| They were from Kansas CITY and were
! probably travelling for Johnstown, for
| nefariOus purposes. The detective knew
| them and promptly arrested them as soon
as they stepped of the train, and the fell
| lows deity dropped several gold rings.
! They resisted furiOusly, but with some diff
! hculty they were overcome and led to the
| Cambria City lookup. This place was full
! of mud, knee deep, and it was impossible
| to lock them in there. \ box-car was then
| visited and while the officers We're wrang-
| ling with the railroaders as to the advisa-
bility of placing the CROOKS inside Dick
| rode uD and lmperiously demanded to
know the cause of the trouble. 1t was ex-
| plained to him
! STAND THE FELLOWS THERE"
| Shouted Dick, refining up his horse, his
| features stitfened into an expression of de-
| termination and rage, and he whipped out
| his revolver and leveled it at the Quaking
| wretChes and muttered, III stop their
thieving"
For God sake don't" cried the detective.
Don't do that. Remember, we're officers
/ of the law"
| After some minutes parleying Dick was
called off and better counsel prevailed
| As no accommodations could be found
for the thieves they were
GIVEN FIVE MINUTES To LEAVE TOWN.
! On the backward trip to Sang Hollow were
| seen the retentive eve of the amateur
| photographers cameras gazing from every
! hill. There are no commonplace scenes
| about JOhnstown, and the little camera
artists appreciate that fact, and they and
| their paraphernalia may be seen tumbling
! about together absorbing all the sunlight
and all the scene. There will be no lack of
| pictures of the Johnstown flood horror
| AT meeting of the Johnstown Com
| mandery, Knights of Pythias, held this
| afternoon, E. G. Grouse, the Secretary, was
| appointed to receive funds All Knights
of Pythias funds will therefore please be
| sent to Grouse, at Johnstown.
SIX IMPRovIsED MoRGUEs
! Are in JOhnstown, and in these the
| bodies are held until decomposition rem
| ders it unsafe to keep them longer. These
| temporary places for the dead are in
churches and school. houses, the largest one
being the Fourth Ward school, where
! planks have been laid over the tops of the
| desks, and on them the remains are placed.
When a corpse is dug from the bank it is
! covered with mud. 1t is then taken into
! the ante-room of the school, where it is
| placed under hydrant and the mud and
| slime washed off.
! With the clash of knife the clothes are
ripped open, and the attendant searches
the pockets for valuables or papers that
would lead to the Identification. Four
men lift the corpse on rude table, and
there it is thoroughly washed and the en-
balming fluid injected into the arm. Then
with the other grim bodies the corpse lies
in larger room until identified or it be-
| comes offensive. In the latter case it is
hurried to large grave, that will here
alter have monument over ii, bearing
| UNKNOWN DEAD.
! The number of the latter is growing
| hourly, because pestilence stalks in Johns
town and the bloated and disfgured masses
of flesh cannot be held much longer.
! The bodies of stalwart workmen lie by
| the side of dainty ladies, many of whom
are still decked with costly earrings and
| jewels on their fingers.
| The rich and poor throng these quarters
| and gaze with awe-struck faces at the mas
| ses Of mutilation in the hope of recogniz-
| ing the missing one, SO as to accord the
/ body decent burial.
A wealthy young Philadelphian named
Ogle recently became engaged to Johns
town lady, a Miss Carrie Diehl.
THEY WERE TO HAVE BEEN MARRIED
About the middle of June, and both arties
+, were preparing for the ceremony.
The lover heard of the terrible food, but
knowing the residence of his dear one was
up in the hills he felt little fear for her
| safety. To make sure, however, he started
| for Johnstown, arriving day.
Near the Fourth-street morgue he met
Mr.. Diehl.
THANK GOD, YOU ARE sATE!"
| He exclaimed, and then added. 'I Is Carrie
well?" I" She was visiting in the valley
| when the flood came" was the mournful
reply. Then he beckoned the young man
| to enter the chamber of death. A moment
later Ogle was kneeling beside rough
! bier and was kissing the cold, white face.
From the lifeless finger he slipped a thin
gold ring and in its place put on his own.
/ Then he stole quietly out, being one of the
| thousands made to mourn by the bursting
| of the South Fork Dam.
MAMMA! MAMMAL"
Cried child. She had recognized a BODY
that no one else could, and in q moment
| the corpse was ticketed, boxed and deliv-
| cred to the laborers, who bore it away to
| join the long funeral procession.
a mother recognized baby boy-"Keep
it for few minutes, she asked the under
| taker in charge. In a few moments she
returned, carrying in her arms q little white
casket. Then she hired two men to bear
! it to the cemetery.
No horses are seen in Johnstown. Rela-
| tives recognizing their dead secure cotfins
and get them carried the best way they can
to the morgues and then TO the grave
| yards, where prayer, some tears and a
| few more of the dead thousands are buried
| in mother earth.
a frequent visitor at these horrible places
| is David John Lewis. He rides powerful
gray borse, and 10 each one he meets
| whom he knows, he exclaims:
HAVE YOU SEEN MY SISTERS ?"
Hardly waiting for reply he gallops away
either to seek an ingress to morgue or to
ride along the river bank. One week ago
he was worth $50, 900, his all being invested
in large commission business. To. day
he owns the horse he rides. the clothes on
his back, and that is all. In the fierce
wake were buried five of his near relatives,
