STORY OF THE FLOOD
MRS. cox OF RHEA CREEK
WRITES ATHENA RELATIVES.
Depicts Horror of Witnessing Four
Deaths In Torrents Shed BY
Cloudburst.

Mrs.. Susie Gerking, residing in this
city, has received a letter from her
step-daughter, Mrs. Oh Cox, who wit
messed four persons perish in the
cloudburst and flood on Rhea creek,
Morrow county, Tuesday evening, May
30, one of which was Mrs. Cox's 49,
year-old daughter, Bessie. Mrs. Cox
is niece of Mrs. David Taylor, of this
city, also niece of j. N. B. Gerking
and w. H. H. Scott. The other per-
sons drowned were Mrs. James r.
Nunamaker and two daughters, Ada
and Edna, aged ten and five years re-
spectively.
The letter follows and is descriptive
of the terrible experience the survivors
passed through:
"Heppner, June 2, 1905.
Dear Mother: 1 know not how to
tell you the awful news. It is SO hard
to have to write it. Oh you know not
the awful horrors of such a storm un-
til fate calls on you to experience
them, but will try and tell you how
we were caught in it.
'sWe live about mile below Mr..
Nunmakers' place, and on the morning
of May 80 my husband and went up
to Mr.. Nunamakers' and in the after
noon the children, with the exception
of Bernie and Jay, came up also.
Shortly after they came it commenced
to rain and in a few minutes was
pouring down and great hailstones

the hail would break the windows in.
The men told us to get wraps and pre-
pare to leave the house.
"We were hardly ready when here
came the big wave of ice and water
rolling down the canyon from towards
Heppner, We all started for the
bridge, but were half minute too
late for all to reach it. The water
headed us, but it was not very deep
and we thought we could cross the
bridge to safety on the other side, but
just as we were on the approach to the
bridge another and higher wave
caught us. We saw Byrd go over.
We grabbed her and the wave took us
all over.

down the creek. Mr.. Cox was swirled
across to the opposite side where he
caught hold of willow. He swung

has aligned it for and against the Rev.
=. n. Tucker. As pastor of the flock,
Mr.. Tucker denounced card playing,
dancing and theatre going as agencies
employed by the evil one to lure his
victims to destruction. The majority
OF the congregation and of the trustees
resented this arraignment OF their
personal habits and the attempted
abridgement Of their liberties. The
pastor had too much puritanism to
suit his up-to-date parishioners and he
was formally discharged, and therein
lies the kernel of the confusion this
morning.

A new crop that promises to be of
value to Athena farmers is being ex-
perimented by Thos. Mosley. He has
successfully and profitably raised a
small acreage crop of hulless oats.
The cereal department of the Athena
mill has manufactured an excellent
quality of rolled oats from the grain,
which gives satisfaction in every par
ticular. Apparently this is the starter
for new crop on Umatilla county
farms.
