Last Saturday morning about $3.50
o'clock, the inhabitants of the mill
village at Pscolet, who arose as usual
to 60 to their work, were somewhat
surprised to find that the river was
rising rapidly, caused by the heavy
rain that had fallen during the
night. Notwithstanding the fact
that the river was rising, the oper.
atives were at the mill at the usual
hour; but finding that the water was
rising so rapidly they did not enter
the mill. In the course of half an
hour, the bridge across Pacolet river,
connecting the two villages, was seen
to collapse. The water was rising
exceedingly fast and about $50
o'clock Mill No. l succumbed to the
angry food, shorty afterwards Mill
No. 2 went, followed by the smoke
stack, the engine and boiler rooms,
the big ware house, which contained
about $500 bales of cotton and 5000
bales of cloth, and about half Of the
cloth room, ali of which were swal-
lowed up by the angry, turbulent
waters. The cloth that remained in
the other half of the room was badly
damaged. The railroad which ran
to the mills was undermined and
badly washed; box cars were lifted
from their trucks and left lying on
the. ,hillside, the calaboose Nas also
Heed from it's foundation and tum-
bled on its side into gully.
In the flat below Mills No. and
2 stood the Presbyterian church, the
post office, barber shop, shoe shop,
meat market, livery stable, grist
and plane mill, and the dental office
of DR.. Gunter, all of which were en-
tirely swept away. Fortunately the
stock and vehicles had been removed
from the stables. The water was up
in the basement of the Company
store, which was used for the grocery
department, and did considerable
damage to the goods.
1t was fortunate that the PEOPLE
were warned of the terrible situation
in time to save themselves from be-
ing hurled into eternity by the angry
waters of the raging flood.
An old negro man, Quay Worthy,
was drowned while attempting to

save some cotton. Early that morn
ing small boy about II or Is years
of age, was seen coming down the
river on some floating timber, and
as he passed the people on the bank
he threw up his hand and was heard
to say: "For God sake save mel"
In moment the timber on which he
was floating struck some object in
the water and he was swallowed up
by the waves. A woman was also
seen coming down the river clinging
to the remains Of house, and was
swept on to eternity by the swift
current Of the raging stream.
In the flat below Mills No. l and
2, stood a number of large trees,
all of which were swept away as if
they werc no more than broom straw.
Large timbers and bales of cotton
and cloth were thrown twelve to fif-
teen feet in the air by the big waves,
which left death and destruction
of property in its path.
] Mill No. 8, which is a handsome
FIVE story structure, situated a short
distant down the river from Mills
No. l and 2, was also very badly
damaged. The engine and boiler
rooms were washed away, leaving
the smoke stack, the boilers and the
big ay.wheel, all of which were on
solid rock foundations. The north
east corner Of the big mill, which
projected out into the river bed, was
washed away, taking about forty feet
of the wall, and damaging much of
the machinery il each room on that
corner of the mill. The first and
second floors were flooded and some
machinery washed away. The re-
naming machinery was very badly
damaged by the water.
Neither of the dams were broken,
all of them stood the heavy pressure
Of the angry waters, as they we're
built of heavy masonry.
After the water began falling,
which it did very rapidly, hundreds
Of bales of cotton and cloth, some of
which came from the Clifton Mills,
could be seen along the banks of the
river, marking the course of the
angry food. G. B. G.

DEMOCRATS IN
QUEST OF PIE

Local democrats are getting busy in
lhe matter of discussing candidates for
the different county offices.
Judge Belt and E. w. Hand are in
che lead as favorites in the race for
the superior judgeships. Mr.. Hand -
said to have a clear walkaway for the
nomination to succeed Judge Richard
son as joint judge for Spokane and
Stevens counties. Mr.. Hand is gen
eral favorite with the democratic party
and has served with credit to himself
as councilman from the First ward.
Judge Richardson is admitted 90 be out
of the running, because in the enthusl-
