HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE DROWNED
BY A GREAT FLOOD IN OREGON

Portland. Ore. June 16.-'rhe most
appalling disaster in the history of this
state occurred Sunday evening about 6
O'Clock, when the town of Heppner was
almost entirely destroyed by a cloud
burst. and probably 500 people were
drowned. Heppner is the county seat
of Morrow county and has about / $50
inhabitants.
The most reliable reports last even
ing state that the loss of life will be
at least 500, though the number of
dead may be larger. All telegraph and
telephone wires are down and no accu-
rate information can be secured. A re-
port from lone, seventeen miles from
Heppner. states that 300 bodies have
been recovered.
A wall of water twenty feet high
rushed down the gulch in which Hepp-
ner is situated, and carried everything
before it. The flood came with such
suddenness that the Inhabitants were
unable to seek places of safety. Almost
the entire residence portion of the town
was wiped out but some of the business
part, which is on higher ground, es-
capped. Huge boulders weighing a ton
were carried down by the torrent, and
many people were killed by being
dashed against the rocky bluff.
Early yesterday afternoon thunder
storm occurred covering a wide region
of country. and later heavy rainstorm
set in. many of the small streams over
flowing their banks in a considerably
short time. Bridges were swept away
like straws. and the darkness of the
night soon made the situation more ap-
palling.

the meantime picked up the paper

Col. Maschin rushed into the room,
fresh from an encounter with Capt.
Lunjevitza, the queens older brother,
who had offered the most heroic re-
sistance in another part Of the palace
Lunjevitza, wounded in dozen places
with bayonet thrusts and bullets, had
torn past his enemies. sword in hand,
fighting his way to the door, where,
coming face to face with his uncle.
Col. Maschin, he was shot dead by

At the sight of Maschin, infiamed

queen and told her to fly for her life.
They both ran from the room, fol-

courage fearlessly to the last The
final scene was over in q moment.
Maj. Lazarovitch stepped up to his
majesty and discharged his revolver
full in his face. The king fell, but
raised himself again as If to speak. A
second shot was fired, and Alexander
fell back dead.
Draga Is Shot and Stabbed.
Queen Draga was shot by a sol

The king died fighting for the wom-

trouble of his reign. The story of eye

King Barricades Door.
Col. Naumovitch was on duty inside
the palace as adjutant to his majesty,
and it had been arranged that on a
given signal he would order the pal
ace guards to admit his friends. There
upon they proposed to proceed to the
kings apartments and present to him
an ultimatum in the name of the
army of Servia.
1t seems, however that both the
king and queen had expected some
thing of the sort to happen. The
queens brother, Capt. LoungnevitZa,
her candidate for the throne, returned
to Belgrade on Tuesday, and the royal
pair had received a warning that his
appearance at the palace would GER
tainly result in a demonstration on
the part of the friends of the Kara
georgevitches. Fully expectant Of a
surprise visit, the king had barricaded
the door of his room.
Admittance Is Refused.
The conspirators outside the palace
were challenged by the guards at the
gate. whom Col. Naumovitch had neg
lected to instruct. They were ordered
to open the gates. They refused and
a short parley ensued, during which
Col. Maschin walked away to procure
assistance from company of the
Sixth regiment stationed close by.
Capt. Panajovitch, in charge of the
palace guard, still refused to admit
the party. whereupon he was stabbed
to death by soldier. The rest of the
guard was then overpowered.
The noise of the melee at the gates
brought together the palace servants
and attendants, who were Immediately
made prisoners.

In the meantime Col. Maschen had

Col. Naumovitch. Col. Mischits and
Major Lazardevitsch. the latter an

Cbincoteague's wild Goose Farm

What is said to be the only wild goose
farm in the world is located ut Chin
colleague The farm is a never-ceasiDg
object of interest TO the visitor and of JOY
and profit to the owner. There are now
between 300 and 400 geese in the flock.
The progenitors of this remarkable flock
were two which were winged in shoot
ing, then tanned and used as decoys. The
annual shipments from the farm now are
about 400 to 600 fowl. Most of these
are wild geese. but there are some Japan
csc ducks, brant and other game. The
geese bring about So pair. In sum
mer they feed on the marshes OF Chin
colleague and Assateague, but as the cold
weather comes on they gradually gather
together near the owners residence,
where food is provided for them. Min
gled with the geese are many kinds Of
birds and fowl and fancy breeds Of
chickens and ducks, and even some
swans. Particular care is being taken
with the swans and the experiment Of
their culture bids fair to be a success in
every way.-Richmond Times.
