The accident was the result of the
late heavy rains. Upon the hillside
above Page street was deep gully, the
natural outlet Of the water from the
county above. A year ago Page street
had been filled up across this gully,
leaving small culyert to carry off the
ordinary water, This culvert had long
aEo been iilled up and the storm had
filed the deep basin to the brim, max
ing lake two acres in extent and tiv
feet deep.
Monday there appeared creek three
inches wide on the lower side, but there
was no thought OF immediate danger.
suddenly last night the culvert broke
and with u mighty rush the vast body
Of water swept down upon the town
below, in 10 minutes the whole thing
was over aud the work of rescue began.
A general alarm OF fire was sent out
and all the wagons i'll the city were on
the scene. Men, women and children

platforms were deserted and the cars
were closed and empty
Not one Of the half-hundred loiterers
who noted the deserted appearance of
the train suspected that behind the cur
tanned windows was gold enough to
make three score men millionaires, and
that the barred doors shut in company
OF United States soldiers, armed to the
teeth and on duty night and day, to
defend the precious charge, but such
was the case.
The train was Union Pacific special,

on the floors of the cars. A squad of
40 men Of the regular army was on
duty as guards. They were armed with
Springfield rifles and two gatling guns

up town, He did not return until time
