Fer once the train arrived OF tine
yesterday. u contained the Pr al1en,
Of the United States.
Carson was al ready for him and
when he showed the face which the ar
lists and cartoonists and Photographic
ers have made famous, there was a
resounding roar from the throats OF
several thousand people.
Personally, the President is a man
of small stature and genial face
He looks like man with a big, ear
nest heart, lots of red blood in his
veins and mouthfull of good teeth.
The President and his party took
carriages from the depot; Governor
Sparks and some friends had come up
on the train from Reno and the Gov
ernor and Mayor Mackey rode with
the President in his carriage.
The crowd that lined the streets
cheered as the party filed past and the
Presidents face wore a look of amaze
ment at the great color display which
he noticed on every side.

The Capitol building was resplen-

carve cut the paths for others; the
men who know no such word as fail

Seeing so many children in front Of
him, he addressed himself to them.
He praised the quality and quantity
OF the children, and said he had six

for when he looked at those children
he realized that they were to direct
the destinies of the next generation
His talk, which is printed verbatim
elsewhere, was delivered in an easy.
unconventional style. and held the at

After the applause had died away

day morning and with extra crews
E of trackmen was sent to where the
breaks occurred.
Westbound trains were held here
yesterday for number of hours. while
those eastbound were hung up near
columbus on account of the wreck
OF the Keyser creek bridge.
Spent Lonely Night.
While the flood was not accom-
panied by any loss OF lie, some very
marrow escapes are reported. among
those who will probably long remem-
ber their experience is John Green
wood, ditch rider for the Italian
Ditch company.
When it became evident that the
storm would be more than ordinarily
serious in it's consequences Mr. Green
wood proceeded to the source of the
ditch for the purpose of opening the
headgate and doing what he could to
save the canal. The second food
caught him there and he was unable
to return or go ahead AS the water
continued to rise he forsook his horse
and sought safety in a tree. There
he remained a part of the night and
spent the rest on top of the gate
Only when daylight came and the
water had receded was ne able to
leave and return to those who feared
he had perished.
River Rises.
An idea OF the volume OF water that
poured through the three gulches
may be formed from the statement
that it caused the Yellowstone to rise
between two and three 1eet in about
that many nours.
AS near as can be learned the storm
began about 4 o'clock TN the main
valley and continued until about 6.
The wind that accompanied it
shifted several times, alternately
blowing from the east, west, northwest |
and northeast. While the storm was
Ut it's height apparently two counter |
currents were blowing, holding the
rainclouds almost stationary, which
accounts for the immense tall of wa
Ter within such a small territory.
To the south it also stormed furious
", as great dark clouds could be
seen from the city apparently hover
ng over rryor creek. Distant thun-
Ter and occasional wicked flashes OF
lightning showed a storm to be in
,rogress in that locality.

GIVEN a DECREE.
Mrs. Healy Secures Divorce from the
Captain.

Captain.
1t may interest the friends of the
couple hereabouts to know that the
marital troubles of Captain John J..
Healy and his wife have been settled.
Last Saturday Mrs. Healy was granted
an absolute divorce at Chicago on the
ground of infidelity
In accordance with prearranged
plan the hearing was conducted with
so much secrecy that general infor-
nation regarding the testimony offer
ed did not leak out until after the
decree had been ordered and the pa
pers signed. Evidence was furnished
by Mrs. Healy's lawyers to prove that
the captain had been lavishing money
on chorus girls at New York, Chicago
and San Francisco, while he refused
to furnish his wife with money
enough for her support.
For the defense it was alleged that
Mrs. Healy already had two husbands
when the captain married her in Alas
ka and that she had not been divorced
from either. These allegations were
made in a cross-bill. Whether true
or not, they seem to have had some
effect on the plaintiff, for soon after
1heir submission Mrs. Healy's attor-
neys asked dismissal OF that part of
the bill calling for an injunction
against the North American Transpor-
tation and Trading company, it is
said, because she had been given con-
troll of a large block Of stock of the
concern.
The question of alimony was set
tied out of court. It is understood
that Captain Healy has given his late
wife considerable amount of stock
in the trading and transportation
company, of winch he is the founder.

Valley Creek the Worst.

While all three creeks were swollen
and for the time being turned into
rivers, the Dulk of the water came
down Valley creek. About five miles
above where the Northern Pacific
crosses the creek stood the shearing
pens and plant of Cabot Thomas, who
had everything in readiness for the
seasons operations The water swept
away the pens, buildings, machinery
and all, entailing loss of many hun
dreds of dollars ,as it is believed that
absolutely nothing escaped.
Below the Thomas ranch Bert Nit.
chell, who has been watching a lot
of cattle belonging to himself and
others, was living in a ,ent. He and
his family fortunately were absent at
the time the flood occurred, or else
loss of life would probably have to
be chronicled. The tent and every
thing it contained were swept away.
Mrs. Mitchell's trunk was found Sun
day night on the Story ranch, sew
eral miles below Thirty head of
cattle that Mitchell was holding are
known to have drowned.
Further down the stream is Oliver
Bessette's ranch. His buildings, in
cluding his residence, were carried off
by the flood and he lost a majority of
his sheep, which numbered about
$500 head before the storm. His loss
cannot be estimated, but it is serious
and probably the heaviest sustained
by any OF the many who found them

WI SOlld wall OF water eight feet

furniture, machinery, animals and al
most every other object usually re-
garded as secure against attacks OF
flood and storm, then the stoutest
hearts quail and terror is pardonable
in even the bravest
Such was the sight witnessed Sun
day afternoon by the residents of that
part of the valley where Valley creek
debouches into the broad lands of
the Yellowstone bottoms. Those who
saw the fearful spectacle declare that
description OF it is impossible and
that unless actually seen the mind is
incapable o. forming an idea of it's
awfulness, as words, no matter how
skillfully used, cannot convey even
suggestion of it. The earth fairly
trembled under the terrific rush of
water and above all was a deafening
din, the combined noise OF the devas-
tating flood and the roar of the wind,
which was blowing a gale at the time,
thus adding to the terror and fearful
ness of. the picture that is indellibly
impressed upon the minds of those
who witnessed the fierceness of ma
ture's anger.
For about an hour and a half the
rain fell in torrents, soaking the
parched earth and causing rivulets TO
assume the proportions OF streams,
while creek beds soon were turned
into raging rivers and water ran
everywhere To the west indications
pointed to even worse storm and
when the roaring, rushing walls of
water hurled themselves down into
the valley it became apparent that
a cloudburst had occurred toward the
region beyond and in which Keyser,
Valley and Canyon creeks have their
heads, as all three overflowed their
banks and for short time were al
most as large as the Yellowstone it
self.

one agency of transportation which
does not appear in the columns Of sta

runners on the CLASSY surface Is SO
slight that the heaviest loads, once
started, can be easily drawn. The DIFF.
ference in the matters of speed and
the exertion required between skating
and walking is a familiar fact. This
use of the snow, wherever it regularly
covers the ground, Is Of large value.

Is notable that although the horse and
the OK are adjusted to wheel or run
ner, according to circumstances, GER
tain modern methods of land transpor-
tation require the wheel. The locomo-
tive, the automobile, the electric car
and the bicycle do not know what
hard shedding" is. Their hardest |
wheeling comes when nature is laying
down the material for some good sled
ding. In the old "horse carr days it
was not unknown for the lines in the
smaller inland cities to attach their
power to great double-runner sleighs,
for the conveyance of passengers, dur
Ing the season, rather than attempt to
keep their tracks open. Electricity has
put an end to this practice. And yet
