TUG BOAT BURNS;
SAILOR DROWNED
CAPTAIN AND CHIEF ENGINEER
SERIOUSLY INJURED
Port Light of Vessel Blows Up and
Oil of Feed Tank Is lanlted.
Boat Entirely Con-
sumed
tBy Associated Press.1

OAKLAND, Aug. 31.-While towing
an oil barge to Port Costa last even
ing, the tug boat Pirate of the C. A.
Hebard Launch and Tugboat company
of Oakland exploded, injuring Captain
Sam Webster and Chief Engineer Oh
sen, and caused the drowning OF Carl
Schoen, a young Oakland boy who
was acting as a deck hand.
The accident occurred off Pinole
Point. Captain Webster and En-
gineer Olsen were severely scalded and
saved their lives only by grabbing the
tow line of the tug after being thrown
into the water and pulling themselves
to the deck of the barge. Their wounds
were treated at the hospital in Her
cules.
The port light of the tug for some
inexplicable reason exploded, igniting
the oil of the feed tank, and setting the
whole boat in one mass of flames.
When the explosion came Webster
and Olsen jumped into the water and
seized the tow line. Young Schoen
jumped at the same time they did,
but missed the line and sank to the
bottom of the channel.
Today a launch and party of men
have been dragging the channel, but
have not recovered the body. The
boys parents live at 1880 Valdez
street.
The tugboat was towing a barge con-
tanning empty gasoline cans belonging
TO the American Dredging company. II
was damaged seriously by fire.
The Pirate, valued at $4,000, is a
complete loss and sunk.

REPORTED MISSING
cIoudburst Wipes Out Mining Town
and Many People Are Re-

LRv Associated Press.l

RAWHIDE, New, Aug. S1.-"Squat-
ter Town." a settlement just south of
Rawhide, was swept by a ten-foot wall
of water following a cloudburst In the
hills to the north tonight and 130 build
ings partially or completely destroyed.
1t is reported that two women and
four children are missing, but up to
a late hour tonight, it was impossible
to secure Verifcation in the darkness
and confusion.
The cloudburst occurred on the sum
nit of the low hills to the north of
the camp at $40 O'Clock this even
ing. In a few minutes, a three-foot
wall of water was pouring down the
slope, covering the three miles from
the summit to Main street with the
speed of a railway train. The flood
rushed into the street, which lies in
a hollow, and every business house on
the east side was flooded to depth
of from one to four feet.
Several structures We're torn from
their foundations and fioated some dis
tance down the street. while the crest
of the flood was covered with furniture,
animals and all sorts of debris. Gath
ering force as it poured down the chan
mel, the flood swept down and over
"Sduatter Town." half a mile farther
down.
The water formed a wall ten feet high
as it crashed into the frail structures,
inhabited for the most part by miners
and their families, and buildings were
overturned and demolished at the first
blow. Darkness fell before the work
of devastation was completed. Before
the wave had passed 500 persons were
homeless and their property was piled
in a tangled heap in the basin at the
foot of National hill.
Several daring rescues were made
during the flood. Mrs. Hobeloff and hel
two children clung to the wreckage OF
their home as it floated down the street
and were rescued by Emil Grutt ano
P. r. Whytock, who dashed into the
water and carried them out.
1t is not possible TO ascertain the full
extent of the damage until daybreak.
The Fountain bar, a saloon located il
small frame building, was swept from
its foundations and carried five blocks
down the street, to be landed on low
bank with it's fixtures little disturbed
by the strange journey.

men who lost their lives in carrying
out the courts mandates for the evlc-
tion of the strikers has been Deputy
Sheriff Harry Exley, whose death pre-
cipitated some of the fiercest fighting
of the struggle. The federal govern
ment has been called upon to inter-
vene in the strike, the company being
charged with holding in virtual slav-
cry the strike breakers imported to
take the places of the disaffected
workmen. Attempts have been made
by the sufferers to blow UP the hand
some office building of the company
at McKees Rocks. The searchlight on
it's top has frequently been the target
for the strikers bullets.
