Rains Descended ana the Tightly
Floods Came.
BUT IT STOOD ALL THE TESTS
AN EXCITING TIME AT THE BIG
RESERVOIR.
The Water Went Up Over Five Feet
In Six Hours-LoEs, Driftwood
and Debris Brought Down-A
Heifer Swept Into the Reservoirs.

According to old settlers, the flood
in Big Cottonwood canyon, after the
storm Friday night, was the heaviest
known for twenty years.
Some uneasiness was felt regarding
the Power companys big dam at the
mouth Of the reservoir, but it stood
the test splendidly. The water COM
menced coming down through the
drain tunnel rapidly right after the
storm. This tunnel is cut through the
solid rock and is six feet square, and
although the stream from the reservoir
taxed its full capacity, the floods
above were SO great that it could not
carry off the surplus. In six hours
time the water had risen five feet in
the reservoir, and continued to do so
until $50 yesterday morning. 1t was
then within two inches of the over
flow outlet, which it cut six feet deep
in the solid rock. Fortunately it
coded, the drain tunnel carrying off
big volume under heavy pressure.
AS soon as the trouble commenced
boat, which is kept constantly at hand,
and which can carry six tons, was
manned with four men, and they were
Kept BUSY clearing the reservoir from
timbers, driftwood and debris carried
down by the flood. Several bridges
from above had been washed away, but
the reservoir was kept clear and there
was no clogging. At one time young
heifer was washed down into the reser-
voir, apparently dead The crew quick
ly got the animal on board and landed
it. After working with the creature for
some time it revived and is now all
right.
The waters continued to recede and
at p m. yesterday had fallen four
feet.
The food thoroughly tested the res
ervoir and the result shows that it
will be of much benefit to the country
below. as it equalizes the floods into
gradual stream.
While the road below was washed
out in three places, the bridges were
not injured.
The machinery is now working in
splendid shape at the plant and the
company is ready to turn on the lights
as soon as the contract is signed. A
final test will be made this morning.

The full story of the pick is told
in the following lines by the horse
editor:
Corkey found a little pick,
Under the church stairway.
Says he: 'Ill give the Trib. a hint;
With The Herald we will play
He put it in little sack,
And with a headlong swoop
He started out to give the Trib.
A double-twisted scoop.
He called the Tribune scoopers in,
They took the sack to Pratt.
And in their joy they said to him:
What do you think of that?'
The chief most wisely shook his head,
And closed his other eye:
Ills what were looking for" he said
ITO solve this mystery
The Tribune boys then ran to Pat,
They said: 1T is our turn .
To scoop the mighty Herald now;
A lesson it will learnr'
The giant scoop appears today,
But it will hardly stick,
For just above this you will see
The picture of the pick.
DEATH OF HERMANS' LAST WIFE
No member of Hermans' congrega-
ton is more shocked over the pastors
crimes than Jens Olsen, residing at
252 East Third South street. Mr.. Oh
sen is trustee of the church and in
timately acquainted with his former
pastor. He always believed him to be
man of God and when The Herald
first told of the tragedy he branded it
as ar outrage and lie against his pas
tor
Mr.. Olsen spends a great deal of his
time away from the city. Yesterday
he returned from Ogden, where he has
been since last January. He is an
elderly man and one is at once i'm
pressed with his earnest demeanor and
devotion to the church of which he
is an official.
When called upon he readily con-
sented to talk. The most interesting
part Of his story was concerning the
death of Hermans' last wife. Mr.. Oh
sen had been in Montana for several
months, returning in August last sum-
mer. He was not aware that Mrs
Hermans had died during the spring
and when he returned he went around
to the Spencer house at the rear os
the church and where Hermans used
to reside. but found it locked up. This
was on Friday. On the following Sun

thirtieth year of service in the mailing

by his good natured associates, one of
whom delivered the following:

Hermans present place of abode is
still unknown to the officers. Chief
Pratt received at least dozen letters
yesterday from various parts of the
country. They were all inquiries,
however, and not one of them con-
tanned a word that might lead to the
discovery of the fugitive pastor. The
writers are mostly officials, some of
whom think they might know some
thing about Hermans if a correct des-
cription was in their possession.
One man writes from Indiana stat
ing that he believes Hermans might be
the same man who was in that sec
ton the country in 1887. They had a
pastor answering nearly the description
given by the newspapers of Hermans.
He married and later went to ST. Louis
where he was suspected of having
killed the woman. Chief Pratt thinks
this is carrying the point a little too
far and takes no stock in the theory.
Still he sent the man a photograph of
Hermans and a complete description.
Aside from this there was nothing new
about police headquarters concerning
the missing preacher.
AT THE BARN.
Detectives Sheets and Janney made
search of the barn yesterday, but dis
covered nothing indicating the presence
of Annie Samuelsen's remains. A more
thorough search will be made at some
future day as the rain poured down to
such an extent that many of the things
stored in the barn could not be moved
out. The floor was not taken up and
the search will not be considered COM
pleted until the flooring has been re-
moved and the ground under it in
spected.
'CoRKEY's'' DISCOVERY.
Ed Johannesen, an employee of the
Tribune and commonly known as
"Corkey' who resides in the church,
made what he thought an important
discovery. Under the back stairway
he discovered an old rusty pick with
short handle. 1t was just an ordi-
nary pick such as might be found in
almost any back yard, but found near
that particular church it was most i'm
portant. So "Corkey" put it carefully
into an old gunny sack and conveyed
it to the police station. Being as he
found it himself he wanted his paper
to have the exclusive on it.
