Of this city we're filled with a food from
four to eight feet deep. The grade of the
streets is heavy and the water rushed
through the streets with such swiftness
that crossing was impossible. A foot
bridge which had been constructed SO

means of getting out of the flooded dis

The night was intensely dark and FOR
three hours the people Of the city were
panic stricken. Scores of people gave
themselves up for lost when some OF the
weaker buildings began to crumble before
the destructive flood. Nine of the build
ings were washed down and many others
injured, but. strange as it may seem. no
lives were lost. The business part o. the
city beggars description.
Many buildings are settling and the
amoult of loss may reach many thous-

are now certain. Some estimates place
the loss as high as $500, 900. but this is
probably excessive. The railroad COM

ANGELS CAMP, Cal, July 23.-The
vicinity of the Utica mine resent mbles a
deserted battlefield with the dead and
dying lying around. Scores of men are
stretched out while those not seriously
affected are being conveyed to the COM
pany's hospital.
In attempting to remove the bulkhead
of the Utica north shaft. fifty or sixty
men were overcome by the escaping gas,
but as one man would fall another stood
ready to take his place. Finally the
bulkhead had to be blasted out. and the
gas is now issuing in such volumes that
no one can 90 near. The water in the
klejdepartment of the mine is about
fifty feet above the eight-hundred level
and it is believed that the fire is extin-
guished, although this is not certain.
Flooding practically ceased this morn
ing. Granting that the fire is out, it will
take fully month to pump the water out
of the stickIe. Angels Camp will not re-
cover from the effects of the catastrophe e

LABOR TROUBLES AT COLON
A War Vessel May 90 to Protect American
Interests

WASHINGTON, July 23.-It is prob
able that orders will be sent to United
States warsnip ITO proceed forthwith to
American interests in that country.
United States Consul Pearcy at Colon
wrote to the state department this morn.
ing that labor troubles have broken out
on the Panama railroad there. His cable
gram animated that it would be advis-
able to have an American man-of war at
Colon. Secretary of the Navy Herbert

sultation as to what vessel should be sent
there. The Atlanta was suggested but as
she is in quarant inc the matter was le

failure Of this, the United States is bound,
when called on, to maintain the neutral
ity Of the isthmus but it Is not apparent
that there has been any violation of this
neutrality in the course of the strike.
In 1885 United States troops were
landed on both sides Of the isthmus, who
kept the railroad open, but this was done
on application from the Colombian gov

A dispatch was received in this city

ceny. Click was well known here several
years ago, and all of the old-timers can
readily recall the diminutive looking lit

the murderer. Although nothing could
be proven against the man, it has always
been believed that he was the person who
provided Anschlag with the strychnine
with which he took his life IN the county
jail and cheated the gallows. AS result
Click left Los Angeles and the informa-
tion that he has been apprenended in
crime was not unexpected.
1t was toward the end of the "boom"
when Click came to Los Angeles. He was
from Pennsylvania and had Travelled con-
siderably. His profession was given as
minister of the gospel and educator. He
was glib talker and has been designated

cannot long, remain inactive, SO he di-
rected his attention to the spiritual end

from the east IN few days both the
Hitchcocks disappeared. An Investigation
disclosed their bodies buried in remote
corner of their tract of land. Anschlag
was ARE sted for the crime and brought to
the county jail.
During his trial Click succeeded in in
gratiating himself into the confidence OF
murderer Anschlag, and announced that
he was the iatter's spiritual adviser.
Anschlag's relatives are said to have been
very respectable people in Germany. and
little Click is believed to have placed him
self IN communication with them.
The night before Anschlag was to have
been executed Click spent long time IN
his cell. About 80 O'Clock in the morn
ing Anschlag was discovered in convul-
siOns. Physicians were summoned and
every effort made to save his life. but
without avail. The murderer died sew
eral hours later, after having decla red the
poison had been secreted in cavity in
a plug of Star tobacco.
Suspicion was at once directed to Click,
but nothing could be proved, so he was
not prosecuted.
