name but her cries for help were not unheeded. As in the fire at the machine shops, an unknown man rose to tine occasion.
 Running into a part of the factory not destroyed by the flood. he seized an axe and returned to the spot where the helpless child was impri- soned, he chopped at the timber, but his strength gave out. Meantime dozen men had gathered When the volunteer showed signs of weakening another sprang forward snatched the axe from his hands and attacked the timber with vigor. Meantime the fire was approaching. The heat drove him away. A doctor whose family had not been seen since the flood of few hours before took his place. He saw the fire would be upon them before the timber would be made to yield. Then with precision he leves- ed the axe at the leg of the helpless victim, stroke or two and it was over. The leg was severed, willing hands caught up the scorched and bleeding girl and carried her to the hospital on The hil. She may die from the shock.

immediatery after the srear wall 'of
 water had passed.
 Austin Is plped for natural gas and
 the great force Of the flood tore the
 mains from the streets. One of them. the largest pipe in the town,
 burst in the business section. A
 moment afterward the gas gushed out and in twinkling it had taken
 fire. There was no explosion but the flames leaped to a height of 20 feet or more and blown by q strong wind communicated 10 the nearest house.
 In ten minutes a dozen other gas pipes had burst and were pouring their deadly infIammable fluid into tine air. Men who lhad rushed for ward In the hopes of doing some good were overcome and fell whlie others were caught in the flames and iis55esnerated.
 sahis 2. his street became a glowing hell and there was no salvation for those who chanced to be near. How many perished at this point is not known but one estimate places 1t at 6 score.
 Austin had little fire protection at the best and with these swept away by the food and no one left to man the little apparatus the town posses sed. the progress of the flames was uninterrupted. Rapidly they swept from house to house. leaping streets and alleys and fed by the continual spray Of gas mains there was no staying their progress. They lick cd up what fhe water had left.
 Many persons crushed and helpless in the wreclss of huildings only parr- ly destroyed by the water, were con- sumed in the flames Their shr1exs conld be heard by the helpless ones, who. awakened from their paralysis by the scenes about them, endeavor- 1N Ap HAfN q i1lc HFt v anu tuSlt WHGlc II seemed possible They were driven back by iIhe deadly fumes Of the gas or the heat of the flames and half an honr after the flood had pa ssed they stood on the hillside, pitiful in their inability 10 do anything but be- moan the fate of their friends. Wo- men and children there were among the wounded and dying, bu. among the scores of men who might at oth- CT times have braved death 10 save the lives of the unfortunate there was none to dare.
 At the shops of the Buffalo and susauehanna the natural gas pipes burst and as the shops were in op- eration, fire was quickly communi- cated to the heterogeneous mass. Men were caught before they could leave their machines. Some Of them were crushed to death without warning, but others less favored of fortune were pinned down and met q

President Spends Day Among Farm
 CTS of Missouri.
 Sedala. Mo, Sept. S0-President Taft spent today with the Missouri farmers at their state fair and met the Missouri mule in all his glory and on his native heath The future of the day was mule parade in honor of the president and the hun dreds of sleek animals hitched to all sorts of conyeyances brought cheers from the tMissourians who were shown" and plaudits from fine pres ident, who was in flag draped box in the grand stand with Governor Hadey. He spent 12 hours in and about the fair grounds and left at 8 D. m. for Omaha. where he will spent Sunday and a part of Monday and then start for the west.
 Mir. Taft only made one speech and addressed himself to the tariff He again told the story of his yetoes and won his greatest applause by asserting that the criticism of having employed "a royal perogative" he would continue to veto any bills that he did not approve.

most horrible death in the rapidly
 lSindled flames.
 Nearby was the plant of the Stan
 dard Lumber company. It had on
 hand large stock of stove wood ready for shipment. It was the fuel the flames most desired and when the pipes burst there and the burning gas broke through the building 1t. was soonn destroyed. Here too de bris had been piled high and the luck less ones who had been swept down stream met death at this point. For hours the machine shops and the lumber plant burned and the od- or of burning flesh was so strong as to drive many persons from the scene. How many died here Will never be known, but counting the employees of the plants and the per- sons in uhe flood, it win not fall short of 200.
 Here the first organized effort at relief was made. Maddened by the sights about him one man with tears streaming down his cheeks cried for volunteers to save the lives Of men whose cries for help were gradually growing fainter. The wreck of the Austin Hardware company had been swept from it's location on Main street to the lumber mill.
 Here were buckets in abundance and there was the lime stream, still swoolen, although the force of the flood had passed. Seizing a bucket this unknown hero dashed into the stream, filled 1t with water and call ing for help ran toward point where 1t appeared one man mignr be saved. Others followedhis ex- ample. But to no purpose. Gas anu heat combined to drive them back and they eventually gave up the bat tie.
 The blazing pile continued to burn through the night. the most conspic- uous and most deadly spot in this valley of death. Gradually the cries for help and the groans of dying men grew fainter and finally the great mass of debris and the remnants cy the burning buildings became noth- ing more than huge pile of glow ing coals.
 Over at the paper mill, the greai factory where so many of the pee pie of the town found employment, the situation was little better. Al- though not so many persons were killed, some of them were crushed beyond recognition when part or the factory went down before the water. 1t too caught fire and the scenes to which the half parayzed were rapidly becoming accustomeH were reacted. A little girl--she could not have been more than 15 years old--had been caught in the crush. The flames were approaching her with the rapidity only equalled by the speed of the flood which haG made her plight possible Pinned down under a heavy timber one leg crush ed, it was impossible for her to free herself. No one seemed to know her
