There have been MANY stamnaaos r.
Montana within the last thirty years.
Not stampedes Of horses and cattle
but OF men. From the discovery of
gold on G~rasshoppcr creek, in Beaver

of frequent occurrence. From Ronnoa,

neer, Lincoln, Bear and a hundred OH

Mountain, II of the worst stamnedes
that ever took place in Montana was
to Sun river in the spring OF 1866, That
was one or the coolest springs eyer OK
pef1enced by white men in Montana
"A terrlnc blizzard set in shortly after
the stampede fairly began for Sun

pointment 10 the sufferings Of the sta n.
peders, and il the party who started the
story of rich gold discoveries had been
found then his days would have been
speedily shortened.
But no one seemed to kn0w then
nor does any one now know exactly
how the great SUI river stampede
started. 1t is supposed to hare been
caused by n letter written by a man
who had gone north from Last Chance
in the fall. This man, in his own es-
timatiOn. had nset with tlatterimg sue
cess. He had fallen in with some
friendly BlackfoGt Indians, secured a
Squaw who had some horses and a
tepee. and was in a land tilled with
wild game Of all kinds. He thought il
VAS the next thing to paradise. He
wrote 10 a friend in Helena that lie
had struck it rich: intended To stay all
winter, and was well fixed and well
satisfied with his lind, failing 10 state
what that particular lind was. TO the
miners who saw it there was but one
meaning 10 he attached to his words:
He had struck diggings. and that is
what started the great Sun river stam-
pede in the early days.

HORRIFYING CALAMITY.
The Building in Which Lincoln was
ASSdSSiaated COllapseS.
HUNDREDS OF GOVERNMENT CLERKS
Caught in the Ruins-Twenty eight
Recovered-A Few Escaped by
Jumping From the Windows, But
the Number of Killed and Injured
is Great-An Emergency Hospital

WASHINGTON, June "a very ap-
palling catastrophe occurred at 10th
street early this morning in Fords
old Opera House where Abe Lincoln
was assassinated. The building for
some time been used as a depos-
itoryf for government documents, and
was some time ago condemned as
unsafe. In eXcayating basement the
lower floor was weakened and this
morning it collapsed. The entire
building being weak, the upper floors
were precipitdted upOn top of the
ruins of the lower fi0or. catching
nearly three hundred of the clerks in
the ruins. a few managed to jump
out Of the second and third story win
dows, but most of those who jumped
were more or less injured by the fall.
1t is feared that at least one hundred
are killed, while many others are
crushed and horribly mangled and
will die. Up to 1915 o'clock twenty
eight bodies had been taken from the
ruins and every possible effort is being
made TO rescue the remainder.
An emergency hospital was erected
and the wounded are receiving every
possible attention. Those who are
less seriously burt were at once con-
veyed TO the city hospitals.
The most intense excitement pre-
yails. Thousands of people thronged
around the ruined building to learn
the fate OF relatives or friends who
are victims of the terrible calamity.
WAsHINGTON, June 9.-10:50 a. m.
1t is feared that there are still
eighty bodies under the ruins. An
other man has just been taken out
dead.
