COUDERSPORT, Pa, Sept. 30.--
With roar that could be heard for
miles the great dam of the Bayless
Pulp and Paper company at Austin
Pa, fourteen miles from here, went
out at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon
Forty bodies mad been recovered from
the ruins when darkness came this
evening and it is estimated that fully
400 are unaccounted for and are be-
lieved to be dead
The dam, which was $50 feet long
and 40 feet high, was 32 feet thick
at the base and held back more than
500,000,000 gallons of water. For the
first time since its construction two
years ago the water was running over
the top today and many persons went
out from Austin, mile and one e-half
away, to see the unusual sight. They
were Mortified when section about
twenty feet wide gave way on the
west side.
A great volume of water poured
through the hole and the alarm was
quickly sounded. People ran fo, their
lives to the hills nearby but some
were caught in the flood and whirlcd
down the valley. A moment Inter a
break occurred, this time on the east
side. 1t was much greater and per-
hill nf
ter behind to rush in a mighty vol
ume toward the lowlands.
Harry Davis, locomotive engineer
of this place, reached telephone and
notified the operator at the exchange.
She called as many persons as pos
sibe. But the time was short. The
raging flood tore down the little val
ley carrying death on its debris-cov-
cred crest. Hundreds of women and
children, the men were away at work,
were caught in their homes and were
crushed before they knew what had
happened. Houses went down before
the mighty onrush of water and gas
pipes, bent and broken, released their
dangerous fluid. Before the water
had passed on its terrible course
through the town dozen fires were
burning in as many places and the
cries of the injured and imprisoned
persons joined in the terrific thunder
of the flood.
The flood passed quickly, leaving
desolation in its wake. Houses had
been crushed and tossed about like
toys, while hundreds of bodies had
been carried down on the crest Of
the surging torrent. With the pas
sage of the water, those who had fled
to the hills hastened to return to
their ruined homes in search Of rela-
tiyes and friends

match. He was especially clever on

IOWA PLOWBOY MEETS
THE CULTURED RUSSIAN
Thousands Chicago to Witness Battle Of the Giants on the
Mat-Bcth in Pink Of Condition Betting Odds Greatly
In Favor Of Frank Gotch

Chicago. Sept. 4.--Before labor again
shall have been summoned to it's toll
IL will be known whether Frank Gotch,
the Iowa plowboy, or George Hacken-
schmidt, the cultured Russian student,
Is the mightiest wrestler In the world.
For this afternoon at O'clock In the
American league baseball park, here,
these two PRIMER grapplers viii meet
to decide the question.
Gotch won their former match in
Chicago, April 8, 1903, but he did not
pin the shoulders of the Russian lion
to the mat. For that reason he has
never been given universal credit for
his victory. But today, aver both
contestants. the match will not end
until one man has obtained two falls.
It may be necessary to finish the con-
test under the glare of the giant arc
lights that adorn the roof of the grand
stand, as the wrestlers are determined
to settle their diapilte beyond all pos
sible doubt before they leave the park
From all parts Of the country fol-
lowers of the sport are coming In. All
Of the hotels in the loop district are
crowded.
All day yesterday the downtown
ticket office was busy disposing of
coupons. 1t is expected that at least
$4,000 persons will attend the contest
and that the gross receipts will be In
the neighborhood Of 100000 1t is
certain that they will be larger than
the receipts OF any previous contest.
Although the turnstiles at the park
did not begin to revolve until IL o'clock
today, early ardent devotees of the
sport had begun to gather outside the
grounds and seek vantage points for
an early entrance to the field. Many
of them were already provided with
tickets, but they did not desire to be
caught in the crush that will ensue a.
few hours before the contestants enter
the arena.
Stories OF Gotch's wonderful condi-
ton which have been circulated since
he arrived here last Friday have forced
the betting odds on him down to to
/. While he was still training at
Humboldt, Ia, he was but q to
favorite. But bis work here has caus-
ed his stock to rise rapidly.
Very little betting is being done,
however. AS an explanation for this
veteran sports say that the element
which used to plunge on big contests
Of ali kinds has not forgotten the
memorable prize fight which took place
In Reno on July 4. 1910. The so-call-
ed talent" plunged and lost on that
occasion, and although this match in
no way resembles that one. the, big
bettors, having once been beaten. are
still tirnid.
Gotch partisans maintain that ne
win win because he is the cleverer
catch-as-can wrestler, quicker
