GREAT WALL OF WATER
CAUGHT HERDERs ASLEEP
AND DEALT SWIFT DEATH.

oLCONDA, May 2s.-Tho sce-es
NJ Immediately following til russ Of
water down the Pole creek canyon were
almost indescribable. According to the
stories told by the survivors, which
agree in all the main particulars, the
food was on them almost without warn
ing.
The camp was located in the bottom
Of the narrow canyon, and all the men
were asleep when the rush of waters
swept down upon them.
With a terrific roar, the Tossed water,
sweeping everything before it, struck
the camp. Tents were torn down, great
boulders uprooted, and the occupants OF
the tents tossed about as in an angry
sea.
Two of the survivors were carried
some fifty feet by the flood, and were
buffeted about in the seething waters
for several minutes, striking against
rocks and expecting every moment to
be the last as they battled with the ele-
ments.
All agree that the wall of water SIS
it swept down the canyon was fully
seven feet in height
Its force was irresistible, and every
thing in its path was battered down as
If struck by terrific over. The resi-
dence of Superintendent Savage was
reduced almost to kindling wood and
was carried down the canyon for a con-
siderable distance.
| In Golconda the damage was consid-
erable. The Southern Pacific Company
suffered severely ,and traffic was de.
layed for long period. The west-bound
overland limited, No. l, was held here
Off few minutes after the wall of
water struck this place, shortly before
o'clock this morning until after IL,

tracks at Golconda were temporarily re-

1t was reported here that besides the
dead men, four were reported missing,
and that it was believed they had lost
their lives in the food.
These rumors, however, are proven
baseless, as all the men have been ac-
counted for by the Golconda Cattle Com
pany.

stated that party of men had goae

FIVE KILLED IN
AWFUL WRECK
Runaway Freight Crashes In.
to Passenger Train Near
Helena, Montana.
Every Coach in Passenger Train
Burned and Express Messenger
Burned Alive While Reseuers
Were Trying to Pull Him
Out of the Wreck.

Helena, Mont.-A runaway freight
train on the Northern Pacific crashed
into a passenger train Monday about
two and half miles from here, result
ing in the death of three passengers.
whose names are known, and of two
others who were burned in the wreck
and whose names have not yet been
learned. The known dead: ]. s. Rob-
inson of Missoula; Charles Brickle,
conductor on passenger; S. ]. Jessup,
express messenger.
Edward Brown of this city, brake
man, was so seriously injured IL is
thought he will die. Other passengers
were slightly injured.
Every coach in the passenger train
was burned and the freight train,
which was made up of cars loaded
with lumber, was also burned.
The passenger train preceded the
freight out of Austin, about eight
miles west of Helena. At Austin the
engine was detached from the freight.
There is a heavy grade from Austin
to Helena and the freight got loose.
The passenger train was waiting at a
crossing, when the freight came thun-
dering down. Before it could get out
of the way the freight crashed into it,
throwing all the passenger cars into
the ditch.
The passenger engine became un-
coupled and kept on the track ahead
of the freight. After the freight had
got quarter of a mile beyond the
passenger wreck it went into the ditch
and caught fire. A carload of shingles
was dumped on the passenger train
wreck and made terrific fire.
Messenger Jessup was burned alive
while four people were trying to pull
him out of the wreck. He was caught
under wreckage and could not be
saved

GERMANY HOPEFUL OF
PEACE OVER MOROCCO
inspired Newspapers Make the state.
ment That France Won't Fight
Over the Questions Involved.

Berlin.-While government circles
maintain an outwardly hopeful atti.
tude regarding the conference at Alge-
Eiras, the Indications are that much
concern is felt about the outcome.
Even a failure to reach an agreement
on the police question is regarded as
probable. This inference is drawn
from the fact that the inspired press
has begun discussing the probable re-
suits of a failure to reach an agree
ment.
These papers assert that a failure
would not involve the danger Of war
50 far as Germany is concerned, and
they argue that France would never
go to war on account Of Morocco.
These papers interpret the warning
pr the Havas agency against "exces-
eive optimism" as proving the pacific
Intentions of the French government.
The result Of a failure to reach an
agreement would be. according to
German inspired utterances, that Mo
roccan affairs would continue to be
regulated under the arrangement of
1880.
More critical observers point out
that the controversy of 1890 original
ed despite the arrangement, and that
the conference being due to German
initiative, its failure would involve
serious damage to German PRESTIGE.
The Hamburger Nachrichten says a
failure of the conference would inten-
sify the friction between Germany and
France and compromise Germany
position.
