Steamer Pomona Goes Down.

The Oregon City Transporta-
ton Company is having more
than its share of trouble, says the
Oregonian. A few days ago a
collision put the Altoona out of
business, and Monday the steamer
Pomona went to the bottom.
The latter boat was wrecked by
striking a sunken spag at Carey's
Bend, about As miles south of
Portland. She was coming down
from Corvallis in command of
Captain Spong and had good
list Of passengers and freight
cargo. Reaching the Bend at
2:3o p. m.,' proceedings were
brought to a sudden stop by an
invisible snag tearing a gaping
hole,in the steamers hull The
Pomona quickly filled and sank.
However, as the river. is very
shallow up that way the water
only covered the lower deck of
the vessel, and the passengers
escaped wetting. The steamer
Leona, of the same line, hove in
sight about two hours after the
accident, and after standing by
awhile, took aboard the passen-
gers of the wrecked boat, and
will bring them to this city.
Wrecking barges with pumps
and other apparatus will be taken
up the river, Wednesday, and the
boat will be raised and brought
to this city. AS the repairs will
be quite extensive there will be
no boat on the Corvallis route
for some time. 1t requires a
boat of very light draft on that
run, and as the Pomona and Al
tona are both out of commission
none other is available.
The Altoona was disabled on
the 23rd in a collision with the
O. R. & N. steamer Modoc off
Jones' Mill. She is now at the
yards of the Portland Shipbuild-
Ing Company in South Portland.
but will probably be ready for
service Saturday, In the mean-
time the little. steamer Leona is
attending to the company's busi-
ness on the Portland Salem run.

APPALLING DISASTER.
Over 500 Lives Lost i'm Chicago
Tragedy.

Os$h OOO AiVSS AOoS HI q @AAASG&S
/ Tragedy.
One of the most appalling dis.
asters OF the year occurred in
Chicago yesterday at the matinee
performance of the Iroquois
Theater. 1t is estimated that
about 1900 people were present,
mostly women and children. Oh
this number about $50 lost their
lives in the mad rush foE life
The fight for life which must
have taken place at the entrances
and on the stairways is some
thing that is simply beyond
all human power to adequately
describe.
Only a faint idea of its horror
could be derived from the aspect
of the bodies as they lay.
Women on top of these masses OF
dead had been overtaken by
death as they crawled on their
hands and knees over the bodies
of those who had died before.
Others lay with arms stretched
out in the direction toward which
lay life and safety, holding in
their arms fragments of garment
not their own. They were evi-
IDENTIFY torn from the clothing of
others whom they had endea-
vored to pull down and trample
under foot as they fought for
their own lives.
AS the police removed layer
after layer of dead in those door
ways, the sight became TOO much
for the police and fremen, har-
dened as they are to such sights,
to endure. The bodies were in
such an inextricable mass and so
tightly were they jammed be-
tween the sides of the door and
the walls that it was impossible
to lift them one by one and car
ry them out. The only possible
thing TO do was to seize a limb
or some other portion of the body
and pull with main strength.
Soon after the fire started an
explosion occurred, which lifted
the entire roof of the theater
from its walls, shattering the
great skylights into fragments.
1t is believed the explosion was
caused by the flames coming in
contact with the gas reservoirs
Of the theater.
Scenes of indescribable cruelty
were soon witnessed all over the
theater. Strong men were seen
pulling and pushing women and
children aside, as they fought
like maniacs to reach the exits.
Little children were trampled un-
der foot and none of them rose
again. The exits to the fire
were choked, and those
in the rear rushed with all the
they possessed upon
those who were nearer the doors.
When the fire rushed out from
the stage it reached clear up over
the heads of those on the first
floor, to those in the balcony,
them and burned them to
death where they sat. Many
people were sufocated by the
flow of gas which came from be-
hind the asbestos curtain.
The bodies OF men women aud
with clothing torn COM
pletely from their bodies above
their waists, with faces and
breasts trampled into pulp, and
marred beyond all hope OF iden-
tifcation, filled the alleys and
doorways, and lent an additional
horror to this most appalling dis
aster.

MOGurtaln Mad.
Will Inaugurate Vigorous War On
The CRATER.

Muskogee, /. r., August 25.-
Governor McCurtain of the Choc-
taw nation is mad. He will soon
take steps to shake loose the dos
ems Of land grafters who have OBJ
tanned claim to thousands of acres
of the finest surplus lands in the
Choctaw nation.
The governor has found that
hundreds of Indians have sold their
holdings to the grafters who hover
around an Indian like vulture
until they get his land for a mere
nothing. In many cases Indians
haveEparted with several hundred
acres Of their land for less than $50.
Sometimes the Indians receive no
money, but were kept in groceries
and other supplies for several
months. These lands are renting
for s. all acre and the sharpers are
collecting the rent while poor Lo is
sucking his fingers.
Governor McCurtain says that he
will oust these grafters if it takes
the last bit of money in the treas
urp of the nation to do IT, He IS
working on the matter now and
will soon be ready to take active
steps.
This action will probably cause
the biggest stir inland matters since
the investigation Of citizenship
court, which restored many thous-
