THE ASHLEY HORROR.
Further Particulars of the Drowning Of the
Two Young Men.

To the Editor of THE HERALD.
A sad and fatal accident by which two
young men lost their lives, occurred here
on the 2Sth inst. The circumstances as they
happened were as follows:
A washout had happened to the lower
canal near the Pioneer or Reynolds -four
ing mill; washing out gulch such as only
those living on sand and clay mixed soil
can fully realize, cutting a channel fully
fifteen feet deep. The people turned out
and soon had the wash filled up again, put
ting in brush and rock at the back about
five or six feet high, and filling up in front
with loose dirt.
The dirt being put in with teams and
scrapers, it was supposed to be solid and
safe, and the water was turned in. The
road having been washed out, the embank-
ment was being used to cross on.
The water filed up the deep hole in front
Of the embarkment, people on foot and on
horseback still crossing, when a break &C.
Cured at the bottom and the water com
menced rushing through. The two men
left in charge started for the headgates to
shut off the water, and while several per-
sons, with your correspondent, were watch
ing the terrific rush of water that was fast
washing ost the dirt from underneath, Mr..
J. P. WINNER, of Dale, came up on horse
back and though warned that it was I'M
safe, proceeded to cross on the embank-
ment. As he reached the place, under
which the waters were rushing, his horse
broke through and went down; Mr.. VIM
mer clinging to the bank and crying fol-
help. Your correspondent. together with
young man named Hill, grabbed one hand
while another young man named Harris
Workman, and son of Mr.. Brad BIRD
rushed up to seize the other, when another
cave OF dirt took place, and the three, Mr.
WINNER, Workman and Bird, were
plunged into the whirling, rushing mu6
and water beneath. MIR. WINNER wa:

Two Bad Men Caught Going Through
Seattle House.
A crowd of nearly 300 men gathered at
the alley off of Main street, between Rail-
road avenue and Commercial street, at $50
last night. as the result of pistol shot
fred by Officer Henry Sheehan. Sheehan
was in hot pursuit of two men whom he
had found coming out of an unused door
in the Seattle hotel, at the corner of Jack
son street and Railroad avenue. They re-
fused to stop when ne commanded and the
shot was fired TO scare them, with good
success.
shoudy Bros. & Co., proprietors of the
hotel, have suspected for some days that a
key to the fire-door opening on Railroad
avenue was in the possession of some out
side party. Last night they watched and
found the door open. and Immediately
calling an officer. they went upstairs and
scared two men, whom the officers
gathered In after a lively chase. At the
station ii was discovered that the prisoners
were John Wilson and John Shay, also
known by several aliases, who, with
Thomas Watson, and Dan Mcdonald, had
been ordered out of town yesterday noon
by the chief of police. They failed to get
away in the two hours given them, and it
will likely 60 hard with them now.
