DAMAGED BY FLOODS.
Much Property Destroyed BY Rush
Of Waters From Hauser Lake.

Owing to the destruction OF tele.
graph and telephone lines In the
flooded district, inform alton regard
ing the loss of property from the rush
of water caused by the breaking Of the
dam is at present incomplete. There
are conflicting reports as to the dam.
age at certain points, and definite
news ss to the extent OF the loss will
not be available until the water re.
cedes.
So far as known, there has been
only one fatality due to the flood. the
unfortunate being Carl Ide. an EN-.
ploye OF the Great Falls smelter who
was working on the Black Eagle dam.
The boat in which he was working
was carried over the dam and he was
drowned in the rapids below.
Among the narrow escapes reported
is that of Mrs. Hilger and two small
children, who were living on q ranch
about ten miles below the Hsuser lake
dam, and who had no knowledge OF
the impending food. Some ranch
hands observed high wall of water
coming down the river, and at once
rushed to the house to warn Mrs. Hill
ger Of the approaching food. The
family escaped to place of safety
and within few minutes the house
was carried away by the raging tor
rent.
The Montana Central track has been
washed out at various places, and
traffic between Helena and Great Falls
will be suspended for several days.
A report from Cascade states that
about fifteen miles OF the roadbed is
destroyed, but railroads officials de-
clare the damage is not 80 serious.
Repair work will be pushed as soon
as conditions will permit. A statement
from Helena regarding the situ alton
says:
While it Is still too early to deter.
mine the losses caused by the break
ing of the Lake Hauser dam on the
Missouri river, various appraisals
have been made of from q half to q
million dollars, the damage being
confined to livestock, great quantities
of hay and buildings in the path OF
the food which was released and
rolled down the Missouri river.
Assistant General Freight and Pas.
senger Agent Jackson of the Great
Northern, said this afternoon that
there were two stretches of track, about
1000 feet long, east of Wolf creek,
which had been washed out, and sew
eral wooden bridges. AS result OF
these breaks trains cannot run from
Great Falls to Helena, but communi-
cation between Helena and Butte will
not be interrupted.
The greatest damage was done at
Craig. The school house, the water
tank, the railway station, two general
stores, q saloon and several resi-
dences were torn up apd more or less
destroyed and the contents damaged.
The inh abitants fed to the hills before
the deluge descended the river. 1t
was reported this afternoon that only
q windmill was to be seen at Craig.
Reports were receivrd today of the
destruction of several herds which
were ranging along the river. A Mr..
Bowman is reported to have lost 100
head and N. D. Hilger saw 60 head OF
his cattle swallowed up, some reach.

will, it is stated, pass the matter up
to the County Auditor, with sugges-
tion that he refuse to pass Browns
salary warrant if made out for fun
time, in view of Molokai absences.
The salary proposition is also the
club in the Olsen matter. Some of the
members of the Board have either
taken a great liking to Olsen or are
anxious to hand Cathcart another jolt
for they now promise an ultimatum,-
Cathcart must either continue to have
Olsen, or the Board will cut out the
appropriation for deputy altogether.
Similarly with Brown, though the
Board could not find reason to remove
him, the dissatisfied members might
have his salary stopped, which would
amount to the same thing.

ALLOWED To SELL
HER CARGO HERE
SPECIAL PERMISSION OBTAINED
FROM WASHINGTON FOR GER
MAN STEAMER TOLOSAN.

Permission has been secured by
cable from the Department of Com
merce at Washington, through infor-
nation furnished from here by Col
lector of Customs Stackable, for the
distressed German S. S. Tolosan, Cap
tain FRANKIE, to sell a portion or all OF
her cargo of Mour, wheat and fruit at
this port.
A considerable part of the 100000
cargo destined for VladIvostok from
Seattle was damaged by the hurricane
weather experienced during the trip.
Water was taken IN the engine and
fire rooms and got to the cargo by the
Dilges and also managed to get
through matches during the time that
cargo was being trimmed, after shift
ing, to keep the vessel from being
swamped.
Hackfeld's scow, the Pioneer, is now
alongside, taking out some of the car
go. An auction will next week be held
Of some of the flour and wheat. Whe-
ther the ship will be put alongside the
wharf is not at present known.

pairing the deck damages. steering

Whereas the Tolosan came in with a
list to port she has now as much or
more of list to starboard, much OF

County Attorneys deputy, some of the
Board propose to take the aggressive
and try to force Cathcart to accept Oh
sen, while Brown is in danger of los
ing his hard-won position altogether,
because, as is charged, he spends too
much time away from Honolulu.
Brown has large interests on Molo-
kai, and he makes trips there to look
after his ranch. This means consider

GERMAN STEAMER NOW IN PORT
PURCHASED BY JAPANESE SOME
TIME AGO.

Sold to big Japanese shipping syn
dIcate before she was chartered to
carry flour and wheat to Vladivostok
from Seattle, sixty-thousand and odd
dollars being the price paid, the Ger
man s. S. Tolosan, now that she has
had to put in here in distress, may not
go on to Vladivostok, but may make
for Kobe, where she is to be delivered
to her new owners, direct from Homo
lulu.
The Tolosan, formerly the British
S. s. City of Manchester, built at Sun
derland in 1888 and later bought by a
German house, is badly in need Of
general repairs. Her woodwork is
rotten, altogether her hull is in COM
paratively good condition and it is
said that the Japanese think they have
serured a bargain.
At Kobe the present captain is like
ly, for a while at least, to be retained
as master.
Under the Japanese system the To-
losan may at any time when occasion
requires be used by the Japanese gov
ernment as a troop transport.

ESCAPES
ROBBED
AS STORE.
CHIEF TAYLOR STARTS TO FOL-
LOW REPORT OF THE CONVICTs
AT WAIALUA.

Shortly after one o'clock this after
noon Chief of Detectives Taylor tele-
phoned in from Wahiawa stating that
he had just received a telephone mes
sage from Sheriff Cox at Waialua stat
ing that Lopez and Rodriguez had roD-
bed store there on Thursday night,
and were in hiding somewhere in that
neighborhood
Shortly after three o'clock yesterday
afternoon eight men led by Chief Of
Detectives Taylor started from Wal
pahu in the direction of the Waipio
gulch where the escaped convicts had
been last seen on Wednesday. The
head of the gulch was reached at dusk,
and after a short rest the party started
down the gulch with the hopes that
they would be found resting for the
night in one of the charcoal burners
huts. Several charcoal burners stated
to the posse that the men had been
there on Wednesday asking for food
and drink but after they had received
what they had asked for, they con-
tinued on their way down the gulch.
The posse rode last night about half
way through the gulch when they came
to a charcoal burners hut where they
dismounted and made up their mind to
spend the night. Horses were picket
ed for the night and after a supper
that tasted very good to the tired out
party every one turned in except Henry
Espinda and Apana, who took turns
keeping watch all night.
About three o'clock this morning the
party were reused by the neighing of
one of the horses, and Immediately
and revolvers were grabbed
and the party ready for what everyone
thought would be a fight. 1t turned
out that the horse got mixed up with
his tether rope and could not get free.
The campers went back to sleep until
four o'clock when they were reused
for coffee and hard tack. Just as
day began to break, the horses were

ready for any emergency. He says
his life has been threatened and he
has to keep a constant sharp lookout
to be sure that some Chinese does
not stick a knife between his ribs.
Members of the Chinese crew were
talked with by a member of The Star
staff this morning, most OF the chi
nese speak Ineligible English, and
they laughed at any idea of lying in
wait for an opportunity to satisfy
cravings for vengeance.
They say that some of the officers
were unnecessarily harsh and COM
plain that several of their number
we're assaulted by officers when there
was no occasion for rough treatment.
They resent the charge of cowardice
and declare that at all times they
were as willing to do what was neces-
sary for the salvation of the vessel
as were any of the white men aboard.
They also say that some of the
members of the white contingent of
the crew were never satisfied or hap
by or in an agreeable state of mind
unless they were having their beer
and that when the beer gave out one

he could not last the voyage out. He
said it was impossible for him to do
anything unless he could get some Ii
quid refreshment and he was so
afraid of the ship going down during
the storm that members of the Chi
nese crew taunted him telling him he
would soon be food for the crabs and
that he might as well jump overheard
and save the ship from a hoodoo.

Her Imperial Chinese Majestys Ha-
waiian Consul, Chang Tso Fan, this
morning, accompanied by his secretary,
paid an official visit aboard the Ger
man S. S. Tolosan, which put in here
in distress on Tuesday last, in res
ponse to the prayers of his country
men, 80 of whom are members of the
crew of the vessel, who, as exclusive
ly reported in The Star of Thursday
last complained of maltreatment at
the hands of the officers and resented
the statement of those officers to the
effect that they acted as towards dur
ing the times of terror at sea and
had to be forced to duty at the point
of firearms.
Hon. Chang Tso Fan went aboard
with the purpose of investigating the
charges of cowardice against the
Chinese crew and the charges of NAL
treatment at the hands of the Off
GERS.
The investigation was held in the
private Office of Captain Frank, aft,
and none but those Immediately in
terested were admitted. Members of
the crew were examined as to the in
cidents of the voyage from Seattle
and the ships officers were also call
ed before the captain for their stor-
les.
Weird stories have reached shore
from the Tolosan. Some of her white
men are in mortal dread of what they
say they are afraid the Chinese crew
will do to them.

guns are packed and one officer goes
