(5ll fhe others. Four feet OF new on
creta was found Ia tllis gap, and the
forms were up for more.
The examination Of Farley Gannett,
engineer for the state water supply
commission, showed that one chunk Of
concrete weighing perhapo a ton and
& half had been projected downstream
for a hundred feet.
Two Men Saw the Hrsak.
"John Newman, a politician OF
Coudersport" said the state engineer
told me ffTat he was driving along this
hillside away from the dam. His com
panfon turned back to look at the foos
of water.
eft seems to me there's an awfu
lot Of water coming over said New
man.
THAT'S right agreed his driver
and then as they looked Freeman
shouted.
"sMy God, there 1t goes"
The big lump popped out Of piaes
and catapulted down the stream. Then,
like the cracking OF a whip, the other
snapped out.
The dam was owned by the Bayiess
Pulp Paper company, which has It's
headquarters in ~Binghamton, N. X.
The vast amount of water confined
above the dam was used In the pro-
cesses of washing pulp after It's chemi-
cal treatments before It Is turned into
paper.
After the false alarm OF last spring.
the Inhabitants of Austin decided that
In the event Of another food they must
not place reliance upon the speed OF a
horses hoofs aud the voice of a man
to warn them. It was agreed that
one long blast from the whistle OF
the Standard Wood company, which
has Its kindling yards an eighth OF q
mile below Main street, should be the
signal for the people to break out OF
the quarter mile width of tne valley
and climb the hills. They also asked
Harry Davis, employee OF a road
house which was the nearest building
to the dam except the pulp mills. to
keep an eye out for danger signs
Saturday morning Davis went up to
take a look at the dam with Fred
Wederson, superintendent OF the mill
Davis didn't like the looks Of It.
Later, when he heard the sound OF
which the town had been In dread,
he a to the phone as he had agreed
to do and got the telephone central In
the Bank OF Austin building. where q
young woman named Lena Binkey
held the receiver. He gave the ira
ditional warning. They had been
thinking a lot about the YOUNGSTOWN
disaster and In every d they appear
to have followed the action Of history.
1.-THE dam has BURST yelled Harry
into the phone. "Quit yer kfddin','
said Miss Binkey. "He says the dam
has burst" she repeated to her CO.
worker, Katherine Lyons. at the next
desk.
Girls Sound Warming.
II tell you It has,, shouted Davis.
Something IN the way he said It made
the girl believe it this fine and the
way that she reached for a handful Of
wires sent Miss Lyon to work too.
They called up the Standard Wood
company, told the man who answered
to send out his warning and then be-
gan calling every one they could reach.
Miss Binkey waited until she saw the
wall OF water coming and then she
an. Miss Lyons stuck to her board
until she saw the steeple of the Pres.
byterian church topple and drop She
stared SO long that she forgot her
