INMATES BURIED.
sEvENTEEN PERSONS 60 DOWN
IN A DEEP PIT
Twelve Residences Undermined by
Clay Diggers in Making
Brick.

On Tuesday night of last week at
HaverstrsW, N. z, seventeen pei
sons were missing and are believed to
have gone to their death when thir-
teen houses on Rccklsnd street top
pied over into a pit sixty feet deep
which had been cut by clay diggers
in connection with the brlck-making
industry there. Twelve OF the per-
sons missing were occupants of the
fallen houses, five were among the
rescuers who went to the aid Of
neighbors, after the first house fell
and were carried down when the IL
other houses went crashing over the
pre- c!pice.
The wreckage quickly caught fire
and chose who were in the mass were
either crushed or burned to death.
Tuesday night there was grave fear
Of another cave in along the same
street and the occupants Of seven or
eight houses have moved away.
OTHERS are keeping on all night vigil,
ready to alarm their neighhors In case
Of impending danger.
The missing Tuesday night, all OF
whom are believed to be dead, are as
follows.
Occupants Of houses, Harris Mel.
SON, q merchant; Benjamin Nelson,
his SOD; Mrs. Silverman and young
son, Charles Cohen and wife, John B.
Beauchamp, A Provitch and daugh.
tor, Abraham Dlas; In the rescuing
an all night vigil, ready to alarm
are, Bartley McGovern, Mrs. M. JOS
eph Daley, Rev. Mr.. Alden, q Jewish
rabbi.
The landslide which carried away
the 13 houses was caused by the fall
ing in OF the bank thder which the
excayators of the brick manufactur.
ers had been working for number OF
years.
When the hreakage occurred in the
long line of land which formed the
ragged edge of Radkland Street. one
house toppled over into the pit with
all who were living within it's walls.
The other occupants of the houses pre-
pared to leave homes in the face OF q
binding snowstorn A number of
people who livedt nearby rushed to
their aid and were assisting them In
getting out when IL more houses
went down carrying with them not
only the families VINO occupied them,
but also several of those who had gone
to their assistance.
9erturned Stoves set fire TO the
buildings and fremen came from
miles around but whsn the landslide
occurred it broke the water main,
thus cutting off the entire supply.
Tuesday night relatives and'friends of
those buried beneath the ruins are
still watching, as they hs7e been all
day, for the bodies Of the dead to be
brought out.

Sensarion Of Failing.

The sensation of falling down a
precipice is cne that few persons
have had an opportunity Of recording.
Prof. Albert Helm, well known geol-
ogist, has been able to describe the
experience to the Swiss Alpine Club,
and relates that he was not troubled
in breathing and felt none of the par.
alyz!ng terror that so often over
whelms victims OF sudden catastrophe.
He felt perfect tranquility, though
remarkably quickened mental actiVi-

musical sounds, and consciousness
was lost as the ground was struck.

White Men Commits Crime That
Calls for Lynching.

A dispatch from Sumter to the
News ana Courier says the facts in q
disgraceful affair that occurred In the
cotton mill village on Wednesday be"
came known Thursday, Two white
men who have been working IL the
mill at times got drunk and while in
that condition went to the home Of
Mr.. John Scott and made a determin.
ed effort to commit criminal assault
on a negro girl about Is years old.
who was employed by Mr.. Scott as a
nurse.
Mr.. Scott and all the other adult
members Of his family were at work
in the mill at the time, and they were
under the impression that they could
accomplish their heinous crime un-
molested. They went into the house
and locked tho doors, but the girl
could not be made to yield by threats
and when they attempted to use force
she screamed SO loudly that the men
became frightened and ran of. The
girl went at once to the mill and
reported the affair to Mr.. Scott.
The girls parents, who are respec-
table negroes, went before Magistrate
Hardy and had q warrant issued for
the men, but they have left town and
have uot been apprehended yet. The
crime was premeditased, for they
tried to induce another young man to
20 with them an assist In the assault
on the girl. This is q case that calls
for savere punishment, and II the men
are not captured soon e reward should
bs offered for their arrest.

SPRING cATARRH
Il. Reynolds & Co. Sell Hyomei Under
Guarantee of Cure

The changeable weather of spring
is directly responsible Tor the pre-
valence Of catarrhal troubles in Gree
ley at the present time.
As result III. Reynolds & Co.
have. had larger sale for Hyomei
the past week than ever before in
the years that thev have handled
this reliable treatment for the cure
of catarrh.
II there is single catarrhal gem
in the system, Hyomei will search
it out and absolutely destroy it,
completely eradicating the trouble.
The remedy has made so many cures
among H. Reynolds & Co. IS custom
ers that they offer to pay for it
themselves If it does not benefit even
the worst case of catarrh.
The complete outfit costs only 81,
consisting of an inhaler, medicine
dropper and bottle of Hyomei while
extra bottles of Hyomei can be OBJ
tained for SO cents. There will not
be even this small expense If Hyomei
does not cure as II. Reynolds s. Co.
Will return your money.

ONLY A SUGGESTION.

The people in the vicinity of Ault
have hit upon a common sense
method of improving the roads, and
although the idea is not altogether
original it may be worth copying by
farmers in other sections. The
county road fund is seldom half large
enough, although, it is understood
that something like $4,000 has been
spent for tnat purpose the past year.
To help out on this the Ault farmers
have circulated subscription paper
and money raised in this way to bet
ter the roads of that section. The
farmers are also doing great deal
of the work without the assistance
of the road overseer.
There is something radically
wrong about the system Of road i'm.
provement in this county, but just
how to remedy it seems to be one OF
the hardest problems before the

he Wants a Y. M. c. A.

One of Greeley's best known min
listers has been making every effort
lately to see If we can't get Y. M.
c. A. organized here, but all of his
efforts have been unsuccessful for
which there are reasons thus: There
is too much church building going
on, thus the ministers have no time
in which to help this cause. The
Commercial Club has something else
on its hands and says it can't do
anything just now.
By the way, noticed in the Den
yer News of May that the Fort
Collins Y. M. G. A. had succeeded
in raising s45, 600 for their Y. NJ. C..
A. building and that the campaign
closes Tuesday, May 8, at 8 O'Clock,
when they hope to raise $50, 600.
Now If the above report is true, why
can't we do this too and show Fort
Collins that Greeley citizens are not
hard-hearted and tight on their
pocket book and generosity? The
Denver men are helping Fort Col
lins start their Y. NJ. c. A. and
have agreed to come here and help
US start ours providing Greeley
people take interest. We shall have
to defer trying to do anything in
this line until this winter when the
people will not be doing much of
anything. Let this be our motto
and slogan: THAT we have got to
have Y. NJ. G. A. and building b.
fore July 1, 1907, or bust.'' 1t will
be up to the people this winter to
see what they can do. We need a
Y. M. G. A. by all means for the
young men and boys of Greeley.
Respectfully,

vote OF l53 to SO 1t was decided to
appropriate approximately $3.50, 900
to buy seed for distribution to the
farmers. Time was when this ap-
preparation was made as a matter OF
course, but it has grown to be such Il
notorious graft that every year there
is fight over the proposition and
the time is coming when 1T will be
stopped. The only object of the ap-
preparation now is to furnish seed
for the members of congress to send
to their agricultural constituents.
Even the secretary of agriculture has
no argument to offer why the seed
distribution should be continued.
The agricultural bill and the seed
appropriation has still to receive the
approval Of the senate, and while
everyone knows that it is senseless
and useless waste Of public money
the chances are that the senate will
stand for it, as usual.
A feature of the discussion in the
house this year was the turning down
of an appropriation Of s25, 900 to in
vestigate the experiment. of dry
farming in the west. 1t is high
time that the farmers of the country
show their disapproyal of the seed
distribution. The seeds are worth
less for practical use and very few
are used. The farmers do not want
them and they do want some practi-
cal demonstration work done.
The very representatives who rose
and ranted long and strenuously upon
the proposition to give the farming
man of the country helping hand
and to provide him annually with a
small packet Of pumpkin and ruta-
baga seed at government expense
raved and deplored such extrava-
gance as showing the farmer how to
raise crops with irrigation. They
stayed by their seats almost con-
stantly for two days to get in their
votes for the free seed appropriation
and then stood by to sandbag any at
tempt to aid the farmer in sensible
way.
A part of the seed will be used for
making soup in Brooklyn, some will
be used for chicken feed, some will
be left to grow old in DOCTORS and
lawyers offices and a few will be
planted. In some districts they
will do genuine good in the way of
making votes for the congressman
who mail them.

county commissioners. One thing
is absolutely certain, however, that
one man cannot oversee the roads in
as large district as the one Dan
Strohl has to look after, and do any
thing like justice to any section.
To do it proper, there is work
enough for ten msn, and If the large
district was subdivided into smaller
ones and a sort of division overseer
appointed for each section, and the
farmers all picthed in and helped
when they could, pieces of roads that
needed repairing could be taken care
of Immediately, and without more
expense to the county than at pres
ent. Then let the regular road
overseer devote his time to making
permanent road improvements. Get
some of the main roads of the county
macadamized, If need be, and then
let the farmers take care of the re-
pairs on the less frequented roads
leading to the main thoroughfare.
In the course of few years all the
main roads of the county would be
made permanently good and would
require but little expense to keep up.
Eventually all the roads would be
graded and graveled.
Farmers would, no doubt, object
to this method, as entailing extra
expense, but the better roads would
be worth it, and we firmly believe
that this is the only way the dream
of good county roads will ever be-
come reality.
