Meanwhile. the work OF clearing away
the huge piles OF wreclage is going for

Across the barren fat where the la
borers we're pulling at the wreckage a
dozen little professions Of coffin bearers
passed late this afternoon. while the
foreman yelled directions to the rope
pullers handling the creaking timber Of
the debris. Down in the middle Of the
same PLAIN. which was formerly the
centre Of the town knelt woman
lingering a box Of letters and photo
graphs. all that was left Of her worldly
possessions.
On the top Of one OF the wreckage piles
a private OF the constabulary waved
news of an exciting discovery. He was
looking into the third floor of the build
in gthat was the Goodyear House, on
Main street. a curious workman or two
climbed up and found a span Of horses
dead and still harnessed TO a light buggy.
Later Frank Wellman, a farmer from
near Costello who had been shopping
along Main street when the dam broke,
identified the team and buggy. He had
left them standing at a hitching post
when he ran TO the safety of the hillside,
and the flood had evidently picked them
up in its crest and thrown them aside
into a hole in the third floor wall Of the
hotel

was found a few minutes after he left
town wit hthe body Of his wife. Tightly
clutched i'm her hand was a big red
apple. Her body was not marred. and
hastv examination disclosed that she had
probably been drowned.
II is expected that the clearing away
Of tho Wreckage will bring 20 light other
bodies. but this work is going slowly
because Of the nature OF the debris. and
il is likely that 1t will he At least a week
before the authorities viii he satisfied
that they have found all the victims.
William r. Jackson. state Road Su-
perintendent. was appealed TO to-day TO
begin al once the construction Of the
state road. which runs through the main
street Of Austin. The road has been
built 10 within four sections of this

made with the idea that If he started /.
work on the Austin section now his road I
building force might help in the work of .
clearing away the wreckage.
