A Landslide Burier Two Occupants
of u HOuHe.

Portland. Or, March S.--A frightful
calamity. caused by landslide, over
took the family of Donald S. Mcdonald,
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 vestige of
the house remaining, while two of the
inmates were crushed to death and the
remaining members Of the family mar
rowly escaped with their lives. The dead
are:
Daniel Campbell, age AZ.
Isabelle Mcdonald, age 16.
The direct cause of the disaster was
a landslide. Hundreds of tons of earth
swept down the ravine 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 minute previous was the
home Of happy family.
The ruin wrought presented an awful
spectacle, made all the more horrible
by the fact that some where 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 conveyed
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.
