estimated that the stream rose 80 or

The waters continued their rapid
course throughout Saturday night and
the unceasing rain caused severe sui
ferinS to thousands conSregated cE
the plaZas, the only home left 10 them.
Swept to Death without Chance.
The waters swept everything before
them in the affected district and hard
ly veStige is left of the thousands
of huts inhabited by the poorer class
cs. The worst part of the flood came
between II and > O'Clock Saturday,
and many families were swept TO a
watery death without a chance for
their lives With the onrush of the
water. pandemonium reigned. The
people climbed to the tops of their
homes. thinking that there they would
find safety, but when the stream
reached its unprecedented height, pit
iful cries could be heard above the
roar of the waters by those on higher
ground, who were powerless to render
aid.
Every effort was made to shelter the
refugees. Homes, police stations, ho-
tells and clubs were thrown open and
most of the women and children found
shelter. The men. however. were COM
PEELED TO sleep in the plaZas.
Many Never VIII he Found.
Scores of bodies are believed to be
lodged at various points along the
stream 1t may be weeks before they
are recovered, and many never will
be found
AS result of the flood the Santa
Catalina worked out for itself a new
channel. dividing in such manner
that another and modernly construct
ed part of town seemed threatened
for a time
Warnings were sent out to business
houses in the center of the city TO
take preventive measures. The mod
ern part of the town was considered
because the rise of the water was I'M
precedented it was considered wise to
warn everybody.

been on the inside of the whole af-
fair. 1t is because certain persons
connected with the disbursement of
Carnegie's money here have insisted
they know better than Carnegie what
the steel king wants to do with his
money.
AS result the Scot has closed the
pocketbook and unless there is some
sign of complete capitulation on the
part of local people soon the offer
will be withdrawn for all time.
Carnegie insists that he alone
knows what he wants built and if the
people of Pittsburg don't want to ac-
cept what he has offered the offer
will be withdrawn. He has empha-
sized and rather pointedly that his

William Cordes. who has conducted
a shoe repair shop on Twentieth

Tor time ran riot and threatened
to shoot Il number of people. Cordes
showed signs Of losing his mind some
time ago and he was sent to st. An
thongs hospital for time and given
treatment in hopes of saving him! It
was thought when he was discharged
that he would be all right. but last
night about II o'clock the climax came.
He procured several revolvers and
cartridges and then went out into the
street i'll front of his shop and terrified
the neighbors by commencing a reg
ular bombardment. The police were
notified by telephone and Oiiicevs
Krebs and Frankhauscr went to the
seen at once
Threatened the Officers.
When the insane shoemaker saw the
bluecoats approaching, he ran To his
shop and closed and locked the door
The officers marched up and tried to
get in, but were met with the threat
that they would be shot if they did
not get out. The policemen there
upon withdrew, and under directions
from Acting Chief James Brinn. a
guard was set around the house, and
he was kept from making any further
trouble during the night When morn
ing broke, two of the officers dressed
in civilian clothes approached the shoe
shop and tried TO get in. Cordes at
first refused them entrance. but when
they unwrapped bundle and showed
a pair of shoes, which they said they
wanted repaired, he finally complied
with their demand and opened the
door The officers had no trouble with
him after getting in the store, and he
was arrested and taken To the police
station. This afternoon he was brought
before County Judge r. w. Olmsted
and had a hearing as to his sanity

At one time it was feared that the
residence of General Bernardo Reyes

learned the flCod did not reach the

All day there has been u long string
of vehicles carrying the effects of peo-

overflow This is especially true of
the American families, many of whom
reside at the down town hotels along

Great numbers of these families have
removed to remote sections.
There have been several washoutS
