AWFUL CATASTROPHE
NEAR CLEVELAND, 0.
In Burning Waterworks Crib
Five Men Perish.
THREE OTHERS DROWN

Rescuing Parties Are Now at Work
and 1t Is Believed That Later De-
tails VIII Greatly Increase tho List
of Fatalities.
CLEVELAND, O., Aug 14-Fire early
today destroyed temporary water
works crib, 2 miles out In the lake, re-
snlting in the death of at least 10 men,
while two others were probably fatally
injured. In addition to a large number
of workmen who were in the crib, IL
others were at work in the tunnel, lead
ing from it 300 feet below the bottom of
the lake. AS air, which was pumped
from the crib to supply the men work
ing in the tunnel was cut off as a re-
suit of it's destruction, it was at first
supposed that these men had all
perished.
Subsequently,, however, nine of the
men in the tunnel were rescued after
heroic work upon the part of their fell
low workmen.
At this writing it is said that two men
are still in the tunnel, but those rescued
state that one of these, Victor Kaufman
of Canton, is dead.
List of Casualties.
Following is list of the dead and in
jured so far now known:
John Martina, drowned.
Mike Snyder, drowned.
Arthur Hasty, drowned.
Victor Kaufman, Canton, suffocated.
Five men, names unknown, burned to
death.
The injured:
John NJ. Lee, broken back.
o. Braddock, frightfullY burned.
Fire and harbor tugs with rescuing
parties on board reached the crib soon
after the flames broke out, but when
they arrived the structure was a seeth-
ing mass of flames and all hope of saving
it was abandoned.
Men could be distinguished swim
ming and floating in the water shouting
for help. Others were clinging to ropes
which they had hitched or tied to the
debris, but the flames were burning the
ropes away, while the men were stark
naked, and one by one they were falling
into the lake.
The tugs circled around the burning
crib, picking up men from the water
and meantime playing heavy streams
upon the flames.
After an hours hard work the flames
were diminished enough so that the
flremen could climb up the charred
steps and fight the fire from the inte-
rior. Then the horrors of the calamity
were first Realized. Everything was
total wreck. While the firemen were
pouring water on the flames there was
roaring furnace beneath which could
not be reached. The firemen clung to
their places and fought every inch of
the way until the fire was under con-
troll
After two hours of hard work five
charred human bodies were found
burned beyond recognition. Two were
In the attitude of prayer. They must
have been awakened by the fire, but
could not escape. They were caught
like rats in trap. One body was burn
ed to almost nothing. All that could be
found of it were skull and some bones.
The bodies of the two other men lay
close to those that were on their knees,
and it looked as though they never
knew what happened to them. They
must have been suffocated before the
flames reached them.

and all the ferry pontoons had to be
raised.

blowing 48 miles an hour at Port Eads
with rough water in the gulf since then.

Montana Will Have an Affair That
Will Rival Oklahoma's.
HELENA, Mont, Aug. II. The state
of Montana will shortly have a land
sale which will eclipse the recent gov.
ernment affair in Oklahoma, where g.
900, 600 acres were disposed of to home
seekers.
Three million acres are to be distribu-
ted by the government and will be
auctioned off by Land Registrar Long.
This course was decided on at meet
ing of the state board o. commissioners.
A state law prohibits the sale of any
lands at less than $40 per acre. and
where Registrar Long fails to receive
bids of at least that he will only lease
the lands to the highest bidder The
board decided that purchases by any
one person shall be limited to 100 acres
agricultural or $40 acres grazing land.

OBEY LAST ORDER
Total Number of Strikers
Now Out Is $4,000.
GAINS FOR BOTH SIDES

Strikers Scored a Heavy Victory To-
day When 5000 Men and Boys at
McKeesport Went Out, Thus Tying
Up the Plant.
PITTsBURG, Aug. 14.-Both sides made
material gains today in the great strike
being waged against the United States
Steel corporation by the Amalgamated
association. The remaining force at the
plant of the National tube works at
McKeesport joined the strikers, and that
great plant is now practically silent
The strikers also made some gains
among the men at the lower union mill
of the Carnegie company in Pittsburg,
but there is direct conflict in the
claims made by either side as to the ex-
acC condition Of that plant. The strikers
say they will force it to close down,
while the managers insist they have not
been hurt, and that the plant will keep
moving. The material gains of the
manufacturers were at the Painters
mills in this city and the Crescent mill
of the American Tinplate company in
Cleveland.
The situation today can be generally
summarized as follows:
Number of Men Out.
In round numbers the last strike or
der by President Shaffer has been
obeyed by 10000 men and the total
number of men who struck or were rem
dered idle by all three orders is now
placed at 65, 900 men.
The manufacturers continue to hold
their ground at Chicago, Joliet, Bay
View, Youngstown, Columbus, the
Kiskiminetas valley and in all of the
Carnegie plants except the lower Union
mill in Pittsburg. In the latter the
strikers have made some gains, but the
general result there Is still in doubt.
The steel managers also count the refu-
sal of the furnace men of the Mahoning
and ShenangO valleys to strike as a vic.
tory.
The steel corporation also succeeded
today in reopening two mills at the
Painter plant in Pittsburg and in fore
ing the opening Of the Crescent tinplate
plant at Cleveland.
The strikers scored heavily at Nc
Keesport today when nearly 5000 men
and boys employed by the National
Tube company joined forces with the
strikers and tied the plant up They
claim they have further extended their
organization among the men of the Car.
negie mills in this city and say that by
the end of the week they will have the
works stopped.
They also expect to completely close
down everything in the Wheeling dis.
trict and assert that the last man Will
go out after the massmeeting to be ad-
dressed today by President Shaffer. The
strikers are also completely in control
at Bellaire and Mingo Junction. Good
order still rules.
