BAKER CITY CLOUOBURST.
Buildings at the Red Boy Mine

Foundations.
Miraculous Escape of the Occupants
From Death in Raging
Torrent

BAKER CITY, Or, June "A cloud
burst over the Red Boy mining camp yes
terdav afternoon, completely wrecking the
miners boarding house. The inmates,
consisting of William Brown and wife and
George Donaldson, had a miraculous es-
cape from instant death, as the flood
moved the wrecked building to within
few feet of Clear Creek, which at that time
was raging torrent. The office building
and mine headquarters were moved from
their foundations, but otherwise es capped
damage. The mill and the miners cabins
were not within the range of the food.
K. J. Godfrey, owner OF the mine; Pro-
fessor g. Bailey, George Barrett and Viii .
liam Kehoe the foreman, were asleep in
the Headquarters building when it was
pushed from its foundation. They jumped
up, and looking through the windows saw
the whole mouth OF Congo Gulch filed
with a tangled mass of logs moving
swiftly toward the boarding house across
the fat The lower story of the house
was crushed instantly. The house rose
slowly into the air and then drifted to-
ward the seething waters of Clear Greek,
not more than twenty feet distant.
At that moment they were miraculously
delivered from death. Instead of being
engulfed, the jam of logs broke; the tor
rent of waters rushed through the gap and
the danger was passed.
The boarding house, which was an old
log structure, will Immediately be replaced
with a new frame building. About 400
feet of pipe line will have to be renewed,
but otherwise the damage was very light,
and the people are grateful for having es-
caped with their lives. The buildings are
situated on little island in Clear Creek.

again Arm.

SEATTLE, WASH, June 2.-After an
absence of about two months, having
sailed from Seattle on April 4, with III
passengers for Resurrection Greek, Cooks
Inlet, the steamer Utopia arrived in port
this afternoon. 1t was in charge of Cap
tain John O. Brien, who has been almost
at deaths door from the effects of an
operation since the arrival of the vessel at
Coal Point, on April IA.
On account of an ice jam in Turnagain
Arm the Utopia had to remain at Coal
Point until April %. On the following day
1T succeeded in landing its passengers at
their destination-Resurre Greek. 1t
returned to Coal Point and carried 167 OF
the Lakme's passengers to Six-mile.
Reports sent out by the steamer Bertha
and Danube, to the effect that the Utopia
was driven in gale on to the beach in
Turnagain Arm and left in such position
that it was breaking to pieces, is character
lied by the steamer S officers as maliciously
false They say that all vessels have to
go upon the sands in order to effect 3
landing.
The new pilot. boat w. J. Bryant, while
in the sand, so the Utopias officers say.
settled upon rock and tore off the boot of
its keel. 1t was so strained that with high
tide the vessel filled and sank. At low
tide holes were bored and the water
emptied, after which the Bryant was
corked and hoated again. The Bryant
sailed from Turnagaia Arm, intending TO
return TO its home port day in advance
of the Utopia. which got away on May IA.
Some anxiety is felt for its safety, though
not by her principal owner, Captain w. J.
Bryant, who is inclined to discredit the
report that the vessel had lost any portion
OF its keel.
The Utopia reports that there are about
1000 miners operating on Six-mile and
Resurrection creeks, and probably as
many more on the other tributaries of
Turnagain Arm, which is now free from
ice. The season opened about the middle
of May, but prior to that time there was
much misery and suffering.

OWN THE BIG ANACONDA.
The Celebrated Montana Copper Mine IN
the Hands of an English
SK1djcnte

BUTTE, Mont, June 2.-The statement
is finally made to-day on apparently re-
liable authority that the entire property of
the big Anaconda Mining Company has
passed into the possession of the English
syndicate represented by Hamilton Smith.
Details of tue gigantic deal are lacking, as
both sides refuse to talk. 1t is known,
however, that the negotiations which have
been pending some time have practically
been closed and that the only member Of
the old company who will retain any inter
est is Marcus Daily, the general manager.
The syndicate refused to purchase the
property until Mr.. DAILY consented to re-
tain an interes: and remain as manager of
the company, which he was reluctant to
do, as he had fully expected to retire from
active business life. The syndicate, it is
said, has acquired all of the Haggin and
Hearst interests IN the company. The con-
sideration is unknown, but it is said to be
on basis of $45, 900, 900.

Deserts His Family, Acquires a
Fortune and Is Crazed by
His Good Luck.
RICHES FOR WIFE AND SON.
Strange Reunion Following the Con.
hagration Which Laid Cripple
Creek in Ashes.

PORTLAND, Or, June about three
years ago Frank Stevenson, then Iem-
ployed in the Southern Pacific shops, left
his home one morning to go to work, but
he never reached his destination. Neither
did he return to his home and family, near
Sullivan's Gulch, that night, and inquiry
at the residence of the foreman under
whom he labored elected the information
that Stevenson had not been seen all day.
Search for him proved fruitless until three
weeks later, when decomposed body was
fshed out of the water, which Mrs. Seven
son and her two children identified as that
of the missing man. Over the grave which
contains the corpse ls marble slab bear
ing Sevenson's name.
Whether he committed suicide or
whether his death was accidental could
not be ascertained with any degree of
certainty. Mrs. Stevenson stated that her
husband had often complained of his ina
bility to get ahead in the world, and at
such times he would express a weariness
of life. The widow was left penniless, but
Henry Strandoff of the East Side, who had
been a schoolmate of her husband in the
old country, advanced sufficient funds TO
pay the expenses OF trip for her and her
two children to Cheyenne, Wyo., where
she had well-to-do relatives. But all this
is merely preliminary to the relation of q
strange romance.
Henry Strandoff on Saturday received
letter from Mrs. Stevenson, dated at Dem
ver Colo, startling him with the informa-
tion that her husband was not dead, but
was at present confined in the Colorado
Insane Asylum. She writes that her old
est son, now 20 years of age, went to Grip
pie Creek soon after the late fire to accept
position in railroad Office. He had
been there few days only when the sup
posedy dead and buried Stevenson called
on him on business.
II think even at the time he deserted US
Mr. Stevenson must have been out of his
mind, for he had always been very solici-
tous about our welfare and comfort" ;"
added Mrs. Stevenson. He told Willie
that after he had been prospecting about
! the vicinity of Cripple Creek for almost
month he struck lead for which he was
! at once offered $4,000. He refused the
offer, but three weeks later his good luck
| made him insane and he was confined in
! an asylum for eighteen months. After his
| release he had great trouble in re-
gaining his mining property, and when
he had succeeded in that he
addressed several leLteTS 10 mc III GdSb

were returned to him.

condition is very critical. have him here
in private asylum, but the doctors say
that he is an incurable and cannot survive
long. | have satisfied myself that his
property is worth nearer 5000, 900 than
5000 and shall at once apply for an ap-
pointment as guardian over his person and
estate"
The question that now naturally arises
is: Who was the person buried three years
ago as Stevenson?

Struggle.
PENNoYER's PLURALITY GROWS

PORTLAND Or, June 2.-Election re-
turns from outside counties continue to
come in slowly and scatteringly. The next
Legislature will be Republican by good
majority.
Chairman Hirsch of the Republican
State Committee claims sixty members
twelve hold-over Senators. OF these
thirty-one are known to be elected, and
he comedies ten Populists elected, with one
hold-over and two Democrats.
There are thus fifty-six members known
to have won and forty four yet to be heard
from. Or the latter thirteen are in Mutt
nomah County, all of whom will be Re-
publicans.
The only contest in Portland is between
the regular Republican nominees and the
Mitchell Republicans. The important
question is whether or not Senator Mitch
ell will have enough for reelection. Should
he carry MuItnomah County his re-elec-
tion is assured.
Returns tonight from 80 precincts of
Multnomah County out OF 73 in the city
give the regular Republican Legislative
ticket 1892 and the Mitchell ticket 1889. 1t
is robable that the Mitchell ticket will
increase as the count proceeds. as precincts
carrying the labor vote have not been
counted.
Latest returns of the vote on Supreme
Judge in Multnomah County give Bean,
Republican, Abs; Aston, Populist, ITO !;
Burnett, Dem crat, 1868. All parties con-
cede Beans election by plurality rang
ing from &c, 600 to 30 900.
IL now seems that Quinn Pop. is elected
to Congress in the Second District. In
Portland Ellis Irregular Republican, has
1779 votes in 81 precincts out of 73, North
up (Ind., R., sound money! 2706, Quinn
(Pop.) 210S ana Bennett CD 402.
Chairman Hirsch of the Republican
State Committee comedies the election of
w. S. Vanderberg (Pop.) over Thomas H.
Tongue (R.) by a plurality of 1740. Thus
Oregon will have one Populist Repre-
sentative, and very likely two, in Con-
gress.
As the count proceeds the plurality of
Ex-Governor Pennoyer, Democratic-P Popu-
list ana taxpayers candidate for Mayor,
continues to swell. 1t is now 1880, with
less than half the votes counted.
At the Mitchell Republican headquar-
ters it was given out that an attempt
would be made to steal ballot boxes, and
volunteers were called for to go out and
guard the polls.
Volunteers were instructed to be well
armed for an attack. Somewhat of seri-
Gus scrimmage occurred in the Third
Ward when an evident attempt to steal
one of the boxes was made. There was
intense excitement when the culprit was
detected

with smilax and ornamented each with
lovers knot of white satin ribbon.

Following the wedding reception was
held at the Ho.ei Normandie, and at 30

The wedding ceremony was one of the
simplest and least ostentatious of any Of
the many that has happened in prominent
Washington social circles for many years.
The guests of the occasion were in the
main personal friends of the united
families. Those from distance, in addi-
ton 10 Mr.. Hardin's immediate family,
included Mrs. Knott of Kentucky and
