Thrilling Experience of SantOS-DumOnt and His
Escape From Terrible Death.

Paris Aug. S.-Santos-Dumont start

ANARCHIST PLOT TO
KILL KING EDWARD

New York. Aug. S.-Says the London
correspondent Of the Tribune: Rumors
are current that the reason why the
departure from London for Germany
of King Edward and other royal
mourners has been delayed. was that
the German police authorities had re-
ceived Information of a plot which the
anarchists had intended 20 put into
execution at Friedrichshof
It is certainly somewhat significant
that even now the exact hour of the
kings departure has not been made
known. However, it is known that
preparations for his departure are
complete Accompanied by Queen Al
exandrs and Princess Victoria, he will
cave London tomorrow evening and
reach Cronberg in time TO be present
at the memorial service which is to be
held there Sunday.

the balloOnist replied that he had

SantOs-DUmont gave the following ac-
count of his trip:
This time. it was not the fault of

1t was the balloon whicI4 caused the

CHILD SWEET AWAY TO DEATH
Flood Causes Loss of Life in Sewer
County.


Especial to The HeraIdD
Richfield, Aug. S.-Grass valley. in the
southeastern part of this county and ex-
tending into Piute county, was visited By
heavy thunder showers which resulted
in the loss Of one life outright and in
iuries which may terminate fatally.
just west OF Coyote there was a cloud
burst and the water swept into a mar
row channel near Mr. Hunters place
with such volume and velocity that the

before she could get out and swept down
TO her death. Her body was recovered
soon afterward below and bore marks
where the child had been struck by heavy
pieces of wood.
A woman whose name has not vet been
learned was also caught in the flood and
,IthouEh seriously bruised and injured
from contact with bOulders and timhers,
she managed TO get out, but her condition
IS such tnat her recovery Is matter Of
doubt.
Parties who witnessed 1t say d flood
which came down Oak Springs canyon
in the upper part Of the valley was fifty
feet wide and seven feet deep.
Another flood which came from west
of KoOshaTem poured mud and silt over
a great deal of hay land and spoiled
some grain.
Heavy showers have prevailed through
out this section of Utah during the past
week, and all last night the heavens were
swept with thunder and lightning while
heavy clouds poured out their contents.
This morning the sky is overcast and It
begins TO look as though the disastrous
visitatiOns of 1886 are to be repeated.

covered with blood near where h
came up. McKie started to swim
and, although crippled, reached the
boat and was pulled in by his com
panions.
A horrible sight met their eyes. the
quartermasteT's leg having been Bit
ten off near the knee. With all dis
patch he was taken on board the An
napolis, where the surgeon found t
necessary to amputate the limb be-
tween the knee and hip.
The surgeon, in his report states
that While the accident was not in line
Of duty, ii was incident to the service.
Admiral Kempff. however, in indOrsing
the papers, holds that as Quartermas-
ter McKie had received permission
from the officer in charge to 90 in
bathing the accident occurred in the
line of duty. Under these circum-
stances the crippled quartermastar
probably will receive a pension.
