A Landslide Buries Two Occupants
of q House.

Portland. Or, March S.--A frightful
calamity, caused by a landslide, over
took the family of Donald S. Mcdonald.
a bridge carpenter in the employ of the
Southern Pacific company, early this
morning. As in the twinkling of an
eye. the home Of Mcdonald was swept
out Of existence. scarcely a vestige OF
the house remaining, while two of~the
inmates were crushed to death and the
remaining members of the family mar
are:
Daniel Campbell, age IL.
Isabelle Mcdonald, age 16.
The direct cause of the disaster was
a landslide. Hundreds of tons of earth
swept down the ravlne and with ire
sistible force struck the dwelling. and
scarcely before they could realize what
had come to pass an unsightly mass of
mud. rocks. brush and trees marked the
place where a minute previous was the
home of a happy family.
The ruin wrought presented an awful
spectacle, made all the more horrible
by the fact that somewhere In the mud.
hidden by the ruins. were the bodies of
two persons whose lives had been
crushed out.
There were willing hearts and eager
hands engaged In the work of recover
Ing the bodies. but 1t was not until five
hours of hard. laborious work that both
remains had been found and convened
to the morgue.
News of the accident quickly spread
over the city. and during the search for
the dead thousands were on the ground
watching the progress of the work.

an order until next Saturday, to allow
time for hearing on writ of habeas
