Was a Volcanic Eruption.

Buffalo. April 29.-An official dis
patch from THE Canadian Pacific Rail
way to The Associated Press says:
--latest reports from Frank, N. w. r.,
via Macleod, N. w. T., says:
"A volcanic eruption occurred here at

three-quarters of mile in length and
millions of tons of rock slid off the top
of Turtle mountain, which everhangs
the little town. The coal pit mouth
and several buildings near there We're
buried. 1t is estimated that the loss of
life is about 20 residents of the town
and in addition about so miners are en-
tombed in the mine. The Canadian
Pacific Railway at once arranged for
trains to convey doctors, nurses and
hospital stores both from the east and
the west to Frank.
The Crows Nest branch railway is
temporarily blocked, but the railway
company who have sent large gangs of
men there expect to get it cleared soon.
Business to and from the Kootenays
will be forwarded until the branch is
opened by way of the main line and

THE STATE WINS.
Verdict of Guilty in the Bar Harbor
Liquor Cases.

Ellsworth, Me-, April CIV. H. Foss
appeared in court Tuesday, and
through his counsel, e. NJ. Benson of
Bar Harbor, pleaded nolo contendere to
the six charges against him, three on
indictments and three on search and
seizure proceedings.
Mr.. Benson made plea for a light
sentence, urging that F'oss had not per-
sonally sold liquor in Bar Harbor and
said that they had a good defence in
most of the cases; that Foss was with
out the jurisdiction of the court on
Monday and could have kept away for
years and perhaps got rid of the whole
matter, but Foss had stated to him:
They could not build a board fence
high enough to keep me away from
the court and it's decision"
Hon. f. S. Clark of Bar HarbOr, also
urging a light sentence, said that he is
assured by Mr.. Foss that if he once
gets out of his difficulty in Bar Har-
Dor he is willing to sell what property
he has there and seek green fields.
County Attorney Tracy moved for jail
sentence and a heavy fine
Judge Whitehouse sentenced him to pay
800 and costs, amounting to SIS in each
instance on three counts; to serve 60 days
in Jail on the fourth count, the SEN
tence to begin April q, and the other
1.-TWO counts to be held over.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
At Least 112 Of the Small Towns People
Are Dead.

Vancouver, B. c., April 29.-Over-
whelmed by countless tons of rock, this
morning, shortly after o'clock, and
with probably 112 of its inhabitants
killed almost instantly, the little mining
town of Frank, in southwestern AL
berta. is threatened with complete de-
truction by flood, tonight. Old Mans
river, which flows through the center
of the town. is damned up by the
fallen rock to the height of nearly 100
feet, and the entire valley above the
town is flooded for miles. A big body
of water is pressing with force upon
the dam, the only protection the town
of Frank now has, unless the river
shall find another channel. Should the
impromptu dam break the entire vii
lage would be swept away.
A dispatch from Frank says: "a
tremendously loud reverberation shook
the whole valley of the Old Mans
river, this morning, at o'clock, and
scarcely half the inhabitants of this
town awakened to a realization of the
danger, when from the top of Turtle
mountain, overlooking the settlement,
millions of tons of rock were hurled.
THE Frank mines, operated by the
French Canadian Coal Co., across the
river from the town, were seen to be
buried under hundreds of feet of rock
just as the morning light was breaking.
Not a man at the working had es-
capped death and many had been fear
fully mangled.
"The disaster was merciful to those
men who were employed above ground,

Seattle Wash, April ga special to
the Times from Vancouver says: BY an
unexpected and unprecedented disaster
14O persons lost their lives in the little
town of Frank, Alberta, this morning
and further details may increase the
number of victims.
About O'Clock, after the night shift
was preparing to come from work, from
a mine, either an earthquake or vol
canic eruption occurred on the top of
Turtle mountain, which overleoks the
town of Frank.
There was a tremendous upheaVal
which awoke all sleepers, who believed
that the end of the world had come.
The entire side of the mountain was
blown up by the disturbance and mil
lions of tons of rock scattered like chaff
over the town.
The nine buildings and mine en-
frances were buried under a pile of
debris hundreds of feet deep. Nine
houses in the village are buried under
the rocks. Their roofs were crushed in
like egg shells and every one inside the
houses persisted.
Those working at the mine on out
side jobs, numbering, it is thought
about 100, were instantly killed, al
though the exact number is not known.
The records of the office and the pay
roll are buried under the immense pile
of broken rock.
There were % or 80 men at work in
the shaft and these are now imprisoned
by the debris and undoubtedly doomed
1t will take days to dig down through
the pile of rocks and it is not believed
they can be rescued.
The people of the town are panic
stricken as the mountain is still scat
tering rock and no one knows how soon
the disaster may be duplicated. The
uninjured inhabitants are divided be-
tween a desire to stay and bury the
dead and an impulse to seek a place of
safety before they are overwhelmd by
a greater calamity.
