Canon City. Colo. Apr. 15.-Gui-
seppe Ala. the condemned murderer
of Father Leo Heinrichs, whom he
shot at the altar in st. Elizabeth's s
Catholic church in Denver on Sum-
day. February 23 last, has given the
prison officials no trouble since he
was placed in the state penitentiary
to await his execution in July.
The wounds which were on his
forehead when he came here, caused
by the efforts at self-destruction in
Denver, have entirely healed.
Ala spends most of his time in the
narrow cell, on his cot, and sleeps
several hours each day as well as
the greater portion of the night. He
has no desire for reading matter,
and SO far has expressed no wish for
"a spiritual adviser. He expresses no
remorse for the crime he committed.
His appetite is good and he eats his
meals with a relish. His food is the
same as that served to the officers
and is sent to him from their kit

Many Towns Under Water, Thousands Home

Dam---Creat Falls
Threatened
(By Associated Press. }

Helena, Mont, Apr. 15.-The Haul
ser lake dam across the Missouri riv-
er, about 15 miles from Helena, part
ly gave way late yesterday afternoon.
Early today the uncomfortable
flood was rapidly advancing upon
Great Falls and the Boston & Mon
tana smelter, one of the largest in
the world, is in danger of destruc-
ton. This smelter, which is built
upon the river bank, employs 1900
men.
The employees worked all night in
building a wing dam around the
smelter to protect it from the on
coming flood. 7
Preparations were also made to dy-
Mantle the dam at Great Falls from
which the smelter secures its power,
and this may be done as a last re-
sort.
Craig. Mont. is entirely under
water, although it is believed that all
of the 400 inhabitants escaped.
Cascade, another small town 23
miles north of Craig, is also under
water and is in danger of being
swept away
The river is thickly strewn with
the debris of ranch houses and
stock
Train service on the Great North
ern between Helena and Great Falls
has been suspended.
1t is estimated that the financial
loss will exceed 100000.
An immense lake covering 20
square miles of the valley below Hell
ena was completely, drained early to-
day.
Ample warning was given by rid
ers and wire to the people living
along the river; but the entire vii
lage of Hauser Lake was swept away,
including the belongings of the fam
lilies of thirty employees.
At Oxbow, where a third dam was
in process of construction, a dozen
cabins were wrecked.
Every building in the little village
of Craig has been swept away. but
the inhabitants had warming and
reached the hills in safety.
The food is now within Z miles
of Great Falls, but confidence is ex-
pressed that the damage there will
be slight.
