High Waters Bring Death and De-
struction.

A Columbus, S. c., dispatch con-
tains the following: Though the great
food of water is passing on to the
ocean laden with debris of every de-
scription and the swollen streams are
subsiding in the Piedmont region, the
losses of life and property are increas-
ing, and a conservative estimate to-
night places the property loss at not
less than $3,5OO,0O0. The most con-
sentative estimate of the dead is
eighty. At Clifton alone 100 mill oper-
atives are missing from the village,
and all are believed to have been lost.
At Converse thirteen dead are re-
ported, and forty-one at Clifton No.
mill At Clifton No. twenty-six
homes are destroyed; thirteen at Cliff
ton No. 1, and twenty at Clifton No.
g. The loss at Clifton's three mills
will approximate 100000. At Pacolet
the loss is near s1,000,000- The great
est want among the survivors is at
Clifton, where 500 are destitute.

No explanation was given for the &C.
ton taken, except that the presence
of the Mormons was undesired. Mr..
Cannon will move his headquarters to

cepting a bride of $500 while chief
executive of this city. While being out
twenty-fOur hours, held up by a dis
agreement the jury brought into court
its verdict late this afternoon. A big
crowd was present to hear the verdict.
The usual motions We're made for a
stay and an arrest Of execution, and

Through all the trial DR.. Ames has
borne up well, and in every appearance
he has not seemed better a any time
than he was during the summing up
of the case by counsel
The defendant was on hand early this
morning with his wife, and all the at
torneys in the case were IN attendance
The Doctors paleness was clearly
caused by the night of anxiety which
he spent, he being unable TO sleep he
chatted affably with the reporters and
attorneys. however. and expressed con-
hdence in the outcome Mrs Ames
looked worn and worried.
The jury this morning asked that
these three questions be answered:
First-Was there any evidence TO
show that Gardner collected any graft
before Ames left for his hunting trip?
SecOnd-From where and from whom
did the police. aside from Norbeck. get
their orders to recommend TO Gardner
at Ames' medical office?
Third-When Ames received the $500
from Gardner. did he know that it vas
graft money!
Judge Elliott replied to the first
question that the matter OF any money
paid previously WAS not in the case.

- Clarence T. Johnston. assistant chief
of irrigation Investigations in the de-
partment Of agriculture, arrived in Salt
Lake yesterday and told something
about the possibilities in this direction
Mr. Johnston. who is at the Kenyon. is
here to consult with State Engineer A.
r DOremus with view to cooperating
with him in his work under the new
law.
The Bear river project. according 10
Mr.. Johnston, is one which may not be
taken up for number of years. but it
affords a method by which an immense
reserve water supply may be acquired
for the Salt Lake valley and the inter-
vening country.
Green river is, next to the Colorado,
the greatest stream entering Utah"
said Mr. Johnston last evening. This
plan to divert the waters is practicable,
and would irrigate an immense amount
of land A route for a canal has been
surveyed, beginning near the line be-
tween Uinta and Fremont counties,
Wyoming. crossing the mountains near
La Barge mountain and going wester-
" to near COkeville, where the canal
would empty into a tributary of the
Bear river. Another short canal would
be necessary to bring the water proper
" into Bear lake.
Storage of Flood Waters.
When this work was completed. dur
ing the dry season the water would be
used only for the lands directly under
the canal In flood seasons the surplus
would be carried over to Bear lake.
where il would be stored for use. Dur
ing the dry season il would be conveyed
down the Bear river and used TO water
the lands along the way. In addition
to the great irrigation works already
constructed. another canal is projected
on the east side OF the river. Enough
water would be furnished so that the
canal could be brought down along thd
foothills through Weber and Davis
counties and clear to salt Lake Some

FORMER MAYOR AMES FOUND GUILTY
OF ACCEPTING A BRIBE OF $500

Relative to the second question, the
court instructed that the evidence Of
Sinclair was that the orders came from
headquarters. To the third question
the reply was that the jury should
assume from all the evidence the fact
as to whether the doctor knew the
money paid was graft money. II was
not necessary that Gardner tell him
so at that time, or that he should make
a statement to the effect.
The jury retired with this informa-
tion and for three hours DR.. Ames
paced the hallway, smoking big black
cigars Mrs Ames waited in the re-
ception room. The verdict of the jury
came as a shock to both the defendant
and his wife.
