In this district the torrent broke near
the summit of the divide and, rushing
with increasing fury towards South Ga
lena, in the gUlch, a half-mile below.
The flood gathered tons Of bOulders and
earth, sweeping away dumps that had
stood for thirty years y This avalanche
struck the fOuT-stOTy bunk house and de
posted several feet of mud on the ground
floor. Then, sweeping down to the Tlat,
seventy-five yards below, the torrent
went through the large boarding house,
picking up a big range in the kitchen
and deDositing il in the dining room in
the middle of a mass Of WreCkage. The
works and office of the company were
badly damaged and for a distance Of
fifty yards the road was transformed into
a trench four feet deep. Near the june
ton with the old Telegraph road the flood
struck the receiver for the air line of the
United States Mining company, raised it
five feet and broke the pipe line.
The company put a force of seventy
five men at work cleaning up the debris
Mike Solely, who has lived at Galena
for thirty years, says the flood was by
far the worst in the history of the camp.

over the situation. A strange malady
which has baffled the state veterinarians,
and which is attributed to the nature Of
the lake bottom grasses and other local
conditions, is the cause.
Yesterday nine valuable Jersey cows
died within several minutes after being
taken sick, and the symptoms were such
as have never been encountered before
in Utah. The closest DR.. A. @. Young

Especial to The Herald Republican,
Rexburg, Ida, Aug, 19.-At the meet
ing of the city council held last night
"A number of very important measures
were considered. An ordinance relating
to houses of ill-fame was passed. The
new ordinance provides heavy fine, i'm
prisOnment or both. As a general rule
the city is very clean in this regard.
Since the increase in the number of
automobiles in town it is deemed nee
essary by the city to provision to pro-
tect pedestrians from injury by auto
mobiles An ordinance regulating the
speed of automobiles was put on its
first reading last night. 1t is likely
that the speed limit within the city linn
its will be placed at fifteen miles an
hour
Extensions have been granted which
will give two blocks additional Of wa
ter service and fire protection. I'm
prOvements are also being made by the
water superintendent, p. o. Thompson,

train came down grade on the same
track at almost full speed. 1t was just

train broke and the train slipped back,
pushing the engine at the rear of the
train down the hill
When the engine crews saw the dan
ger they set the brakes and leaped from
the locomotives. They escaped unin-
jUTed. The engines cOllided with ter
rifle force, the impact demOlishing all
three of them. The foremost freight
cars were only slightly damaged. Con-
ductOr Straub of the freight train was
thrown from the train by the collision
and somewhat bruised.

about two feet of mud and nearly all the
cellars and wells were entirely filled The
flood was caused from a heavy TainstOrm

A large dam is built above the power
house; therefore the storm did not do
much damage at that place, only tearing
down poles and doing damage that may
take only about week to repair. The
stream while in the canyon is estimated
to have been about twenty-five feet deep,
and for time it looked as though the
entire city would be swept away, as it
came nearly to the foot of the mountains.
The hills slid into the stream, backing
the water up many feet, and when the
dam gave way the stream came down,
looking Ike moving mountain.
. AS it reached a hill known as the guard
knoll, about one mile east Of the city, the
stream separated, one branch following
the creek, the other coming into town
and covering every street and nearly ev-
was swept along. Many people were
driven from their homes. large streams
entering the windows and passing out on
the other side.
Oie laiuliy uVlnB along the creek lost
everything they owned. Even their home
was completely destroyed, and the woman
and three little children barely escaped
with their lives. The water came rush
ing into the house and kept rising until
the woman was only head and shoulders
above it. holding her little babe in her
arms, and the two other little tots
climbed on one of the pieces of furniture
Had not help arrived at that moment all
would have gone down with the stream.
