A TERRIFIC FLOOD

sweeps Through Turtle Creek Valley, Pa,
Causing Great Damage and Probable Loss
of Llfe-PeOple Terror Stricken and Flee
for Their Lives.
BRADDocK, Pa, June 20-The extent
and damage by the cloudburst up the
Turtle Creek valley Monday evening,
was much greater than first reports in
dicated. Several persons are missing
and there is but little doubt that they
were drowned. The force of the storm
broke full upon the villages along
Sandy creek and Plum creek. Growing
crops were swept away and many build
ings were wrecked. At Sandy Creek
village the water rose in the streets to
depth of ten feet. More than dozen
houses were washed away in the un-
precedented torrent. In one of the
houses, John Hodoosky, a miner, was
sleeping. He was drowned while try
ing to escape through a second-story
window. Michael Roscki fell into the
creek and was carried away by the cur
rent. Margaret Mossell, aged Is years,
fell from skiff and has not been heard
of since
The inhabitants of the villages were
terror-stricken by the awful storm and
fed in all directions Rats were hasti-
ly constructed and many families were
safel y rowed from their homes. The
tidal wave that swept the Turtle Creek
valley was nearly eight feet in height
and carried everything before it. At
the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
Company plant the damage'is extensive.
One hundred and fifty yards of railroad
track was washed away; the tipple mo.
q was badly damaged and other build
ings wrecked. At the new Westing-
house electric works, several hundred
feet of railroad track was destroyed
and the road-bed damaged. Fences,
bridges, etc, have disappeared and the
valley presents sorry appearance. The
money loss will aggregate many thou
sand dollars.

Desperate Encounter between Sheriff
Posse and n Gang Of Outlaws.

Desperate Encounter between "a shsrif's
Posse and Gang Of Outlaws.
TAHLEQUAH, /. r., June 2O.-During
a battle with outlaws near Wagner,
between the sheriff's posse and the
Cook gang Of outlaws Sequoyah Hous-
ton, of the sheriff's posse, was killed,
and Bob Martin, an outlaw, was cap
tured. Several others of the sheriff's
posse We're wounded, some Of them, it
is said, fatally. Cook and all but one
OF his gang escaped.
Since the killing of Bill" Dalton the
Cook gang is considered the most des-
perate of territory desperadoes. They
were intent upon robbing stage-load
of people on their way from the Big
Cherokee payment at Tahlequah, when
Deputy Gourd and his posse ran them
down. A courier just in from the
scene of the battle brings the news
that the gang is surrounded and an
other bloody encounter is inevitable.

there are two kinds of poodles, the
Russian-black and larger than the
white--and the French variety.
The usual decorations consist in
leaving the hair full length, in the
form of little anklets about the hooks,
two little tufts on the hips and one on
the back. The forc-legs have anklets
and knee bracelets, and the body is
clipped close to the breast, up to an
ornamental collar of long hair. A
comical mustache is left on the muzzle,
which is clipped smooth up to the eyes.
The ears are left long and shaggy.

ranges from three dollars to five dol

COLUMBUS IN MADEIRA.

The Great Navigator Had Vague Evil
/. dcnces of the Western Land.
The island of Madeira, in the Allan
tic ocean, although of volcanic origin,
is rich in fruits and grain, while its
climate is SO equable that invalids
from all parts of the world seek from
it relief and strength.
The island is also noted as having
been the home of Columbus for some
years. 1t was on the neighboring is
land of Porto Santo that he married
Dona Fillippa, daughter of Barthol-
omew Perestrello, the first governor
of the island.
An old chronicle tells us that in the
year 1856 a Portuguese vessel, after a
long and tempestuous voyage, was
driven to the island of Madeira. All
the crew except three and the pilot
had died. The survivors, who were
badly exhausted, were taken by Column
bus to his home. They told him how
their vessel had been driven from its
course, and of strange lands which
they had seen; supposed to be the West
Indies.
In few days they all died; but the
pilot, before his death. gave to Column
bus several maps and papers which
contained notes of his voyage.
Columbus studied these papers care
fully. His father-in-law at one time
had been a captain in the service OF
Prince Henry, the navigator, and he,
too, had manuscript accounts OF voy-
ages which he had made. Then, yes
sells were often touching at Madeira
from all parts of the world. with the
captains of which Columbus talked,
and he began to be strongly convinced
that there were wonderful lands in the
western seas.
So he diligently pored over the logs
and papers of his father-in-law, and the
story of strange wanderings which was
| left him by the pilot whom he be
friended. He listened to old sailors,
as they sat by night on the deck OF
some GRAVEL at anchor at Madeira, and
| told him marvellous tales of strange
lands and peoples. Was not the mys-
