Austin, Penn.-Between loo and
300 persons were drowned, crushed or
burned to death when the dam of the
Bayless Pulp and Paper Company, one
mile north of here, broke and sent
four hundred million five hundred
thousand gallons OF water sweeping
down the valley. destroying the towns
Of Austin and Costello. Austin had
5000 people and Costello 45O. Fire
followed the bursting of the natural
gas mains and scores Of persons,
caught beneath the burning debris,
were slowly cremated.
1T is now thought probable that hun
dreds Of others were swept away by
the raging torrent, the great confusion
making accurate figures unavailable.
Practically every building destroyed
by water and fire burning at several
points.
Physicians, nurses and supplies be.

Gov. Tener has ordered state health
and charity officials to the scene. to-
gether with Adjt. Gen. Stewart and a
large force Of state police.
Many Of the bodies are so mangled
that recognition is impossible.
The survivors are in a frenzy.
There is no organization, the town
being dazed by the force Of the calam.
ity, which came without q moments
warning.
Hundreds of men, women and child

the village for their families and
friends.
Fire broke out from broken gas
pipes almost before the flood had
passed.
Chaos reigned from the moment the
mighty wall of water tore through the
town, and there was no relief until
help came from the surrounding
towns.
1t is estimated that thousand
buildings have been torn from their
foundations and crushed in the flood.

water made Its way through the bust

banks.
There was no one to attempt to
stop the fire and It was allowed to
burn itself out, the survivors Of the
flood standing idly on the hillsides.
stunned beyond the power to act.
A feeble effort was made in the
lower part of the town, where the
flood soon spent its force, to save
property and lives. but 1t was sporadic
The full force of the catastrophe could
be seen better from that point perhaps
than from any others and all efforts
were abandoned.
The scene In the village is appalling.
