DISASTER
The Responsibility For Austin
Deaths May be Fixed
Governor Tener Started an In
spection
State Knew Nothing Of Con-
struction Of Dam

Austin, Pa. Oct. Am drizzIing rain
Gov. j. X. Tener, who arrived hero last
night from Harrisburg, started today
on his tour OF inspection OF the de-
stroyed district, including the dam OF
the Bayless Pulp & Paper Co., the go-
ing out of which resulted in the death,
distress and privation which has over
spread this village.
Stronger than ever this morning
was the general opinion that the gov
ernor's visit indicated that the state
officials are looking over the situation
with view of ascertaining their au-
thority in conducting the investigation
as TO the liability and responsibility
for the condition Of the dam.
1t is positively asserted by Gen. Fred
w. Fleitz, vice president Of the state
water supply commission, that at no
time was the state made cognizant OF
the construction, repair OF condition
of the dam.
Aside from the governors sojourn
the situation early today assumed the
routine OF clearing away the wreck
age In search for more bodies and re-
newed efforts to get men, not only
laborers, but cooks whose services are
sorely needed.
The replenishing of the food sup
plies too is taxing the energies Of the
commissary as well as the railroads.
Seventeen nurses from the state dis
pensary have been worked almost to
the limit of their strength, having been
forced to do duty at the rnorglIe az
well as cooks and serving maids at
the commissary because the necessary
help has been unobtainabie.

Representatives of labor unions de-

Despite the denials of strikers there

There was once In Cripple Creek an
odd character named Burns. He was
an odd person who always, no mat
ter what his work, wore what used to
be called a prince Albert" He struck
a rich vein of ore and named that the
Prince Albert. Being of generous
and convivial disposition. this lucky
fellow was, of course, surrounded by
many self seeking friends. When he
and they were in their cups some of
them, with an eye to the main chance,
managed to wheedle out of Burns on
one pretext or another deed of a
share In his mine. With royal prodi-
gaIity he scattered deeds about among
his retainers and camp followers un-

and the case was taken into court.
One of the lawyers had Burns on the
stand. "Now, Mr.. Burns" said the
lawyer, twill you please tell the court
how you can explain your conduct?
The evidence shows that you have
decided away twenty-nine twenty
fourths of your mine. What have you
to say to that?" well, sir" replied
the witness, "you must remember, sir,
that the Prince Albert is a very large
mine"

their being taken over by the State and

appointed by the State Board of Educa-

Jonathan Albaugh of East Hickory also

thinning out and in just a little while we
will not have them with us. When we
read and learn of their heroic deeds we
deem it great honor to meet with them
and make it as enjoyable as we can.
The big wind and rain storm that came
Wednesday was very welcome to this
place, Although the wind blew hurri-
cane and fences were blown down and
quite little damage was done, the rain
overbalsnced the damage, as everything
was drying up. Corn laid in the ground
two weeks and never sprouted. Meadows
are very poor and light, about knee high
