The people were caught in their
houses with no chance of escape. A
heavy rain had been falling all after
noon, and the residents were in their
houses. Without warning a wall of
water twenty feet high came tearing
down Willow Creek, on whose banks
the town is located. and the next mo-
ment the houses were wrecked and
carried away, q mass of ruins, on the
crest Of the immense wave.
Many persons were killed outright.
Others were drowned after heroic eff.
forts to save themselves. Bridges
were swept away like so many matches
and al! means Of communication by
wire was destroyed.
The buildings which were not carried
away were moved from their founda-
tions or toppled over. Hundreds OF
horses, cattle, sheep and hogs that had
gone into the creek bottoms for water
perished.
AS soon as the first excitement had
subsided the survivors went to work.
Messengers were sent out to the neigh

organized as rapidly as possible.

IRISH LAND BILL THREATENED.
Redmond Warns Government That Con.
cessions Must Be Made.

London.-The Irish leader. John Red
mond, during the debate in Commons
on the Irish Land bill. made the decla-
ration that unless the Government
granted concessions reducing the MIMI
mum price at which the landlord may
sell it would be impossible for the Irish
members to represent the measure as
acceptable to the Irish people.
Chief Irish Secretary Wyndham de-
clared that he considered that limits
on bargains were essential precautions.
and was unable to accept Mr.. Red
mond's proposal to raise the minimum
reduction to fifteen per cent. in case of
second term rents. and twenty-five per
cent. in case Of first term rents. Mr..
Redmond said he was afraid the part
ing of the ways had been reached, and
further consideration Of this point must
be had. otherwise ninety-iye per cent.
of the Irish members would be found
in the lobby against the Government.
Mr.. Wyndham further replied that
he realized the gravity Of the situa-
ton, but the minimum reductions must
remain ten and twenty per cent, re-
