river, hsd frequently expressed their
doubt OF the wisdom of the choice.
The banker laughed at their fears,
and, although on two occasions the
water had shut his family on from
communication with town, except by
means of boat, he made nc attempt
to establish himself on higher ground
A few weeks after the mountaineer
appeared in Upton, with the prophecy
OF loodNof unprecedented greatness
on hts lips, the river began to rise. and
in short time 1t rose above its banks
where they were the lowest and spread
over the country several miles north
OF the town.
Great excitement prevailed in Upton.
and it was suggested to Mr.. Haworth
that he remove his family to the hotel
in that town until the river had sub
sided.
There will be time enough to do So"
Mr.. Haworth said, "when the river
leaves its banks at this point They
are high here, and IL 1t should over
flow them, can get my family to town
in twenty minutes easily"
1t had been raining furicusly all
night, and when. in the morning, Mr..
Haworth drove into town, he learned
that the river had risen several feet
during the night and that the water
had already left the banks mile south
of town
Confident that no immediate danger
threatened his family. Mr.. Haworth
went to the bank. Two hours later
he was startled by cries on the street
that the flood was coming. He rush
ed outside and joined the crowd that
was hurrying toward the western out
skirts.
From what he could gather from the
excited people as he ran. lie learned
that the river had suddenly risen above
its banks and the water was sweeping
toward the town like mill race.
Filled with apprehension for the
safety OF his family, the banker hast
ened to a point from which he could
see his residence The sight that met
his view rendered him frantic. The
water had completely surrounded the
house and had risen to the top OF the
doors on the ground floor.
From the open windows in the Sec
ond story he saw his wife and children
and the servants wildly waving to the
crowd OF men that stood nelplessly
watching them on The margin of the
swirling flood that was slowly driving
them backward and widening the dis
lance between them and the imprisony d
| family.
Boats were to be had, but to attempt
to cross the racing waters in one of
them would be useless, for twenty men
could not have rowed boat against
such current. How to save the I'M
fortunate ones was the question that
agitated the minds of the people.
Whatever was done must be done
quickly, for the water was steadily ris-
ing. and in few minutes had gone
to the sills of the windows, through
which the occupants of the house were
| leaning.
! Wild with fear. Mr.. Haworth moved
among the people. exhorting them to
save his family. He offered fortune
to any man who would bring his wife
and children to him, but there was no
one there who could see "a way of do
ing it.
Harold Stanley, deaf to the shouts
and cries Of the crowd. looked across
the turbid water and saw his friend

CHICAGO POLICE SCANDAL
Inspector Tells of Assessment Levied
to Aid DUNES Campaign.

Chicago, April 17.-Further disclos-
ures were made to the civil service
commission, who are investigating the
alleged debauching Of the Chicago po'
lice department by former Chief OF
Police John NJ. Collins, in an effort
to bring about former Mayor DUNES
reelection.
Police Inspector John Wheeler told
the commission about receiving an
order from Collins to have the men
under his charge subscribe to the
Dunno campaign fund. The inspector
declared he opposed such an assess
ment. but felt he should obey orders
He and his men, he said, had paid into
the campaign fund more than $2,oOO'
but he had been criticised by the chiei
because the contribution was SO
small. States Attorney Healy has
already begun consideration OF the
evidence. The next grand jury vii
be sworn in mex Monday and any
steps looking to the indictment of the
police officials accused will probably
then be taken up.
