WHEELING, w. Va. Sept. 2-Col-
lier, W. Va. a town of probably 500
people, was almost completely de-
strOyed by a cloudburst early today
and from eight to fifteen persons
lost their lives and the only COM
munication with the town so far said
the death rate might be doubled. The
town is a division headquarters for
the Panhandle Company and the rail
road has been so badly damaged it
may be weeks before it can be run
ming again. Fourteen miles of track
betwe % Wheeling Junction and Bur-
gettstown is gone.
Details of the devastation are COM
ing in slowly but they indicate that
it is one of the wost storms western
Pennsylvania and northern West Vir-
ginia has had since the Johnstown
flood The loss to the Panhandle
Railroad Company will reach half a
million dollars or more, and il will
be at least a week before they are
able to run trains over the main line.
Fourteen miles of track including half
q dozen bridges, all the telegraph
towers have been wiped out and the
roadbed washed away
The Steubenville and Burgettstown
yards of the Panhandle are piled full
of passenger trains as none have got
ten through since last night at IL
o'clock.
At Golfers at least nine and pos
sibly twenty persons have been
drowned, but il will be late in the
day before full particulars from there
can be secured.
Mrs. Ad. ThOrley and her siX-yesr-
their home in Harmon's Greek. Valley,
was swept away and the family of an
Italian, employed at the Collier mine,
were all drowned. including father,
mother and three children. Fifteen
houses in Golfers were washed down
the creek into the river. At Hol-
liday's Cove four residences. a meat
shop. barber shop and an automobile
garage were washed away
AZ Cherry Valley, Pa. just over
the West Virginia state line the
house of William Gillespie was car
ried away in the storm and father,
mother and four children were
drowned
Water came up TO the ceiling OF
many of the houses and that more
were not drowned is due entirely "a
good luck. Residents we're compelled
to wade through water up to their
necks to get to high ground and they
we're able to save nothing At Cross
| Creek, ". Va. and Avella, Pa, nearly
every house was flooded and the
damage Will run into thousands.

KING JOHN WOULD
PAY FOR PROTECTION

King Ephraim Johns gypsy camp, at
Union street woods was the scene yes
terday afternoon and last evening. OF
much trouble. and that nobody was
seriously injured is a mystery. The
trouble had been brewing all day and
there we're several outbreaks between
the gypsies and a mob Of white and
colored youths. which eliminated in a
pitched battle last night, in which re-
volyers we're freely used Several
gypsies were hurt by stones thrown by
the attacking force, but nobody was
injured by any Of the bullets.
Patrolmen Devenish. Kelly and Dom
ohue were rushed to the camp during
the afternoon to break up fight, and
King John later complained to the po-
lice when the trouble again broke out.
This time Police Sergeant Kelleher
and a squad Of policemen we're hurried
TO the camp and quickly restored
order.
In the woods adjoining the gypsy
camp, a colored camp meeting is IN
progress. The latter claim that the
gypsies have been stealing from them
and this has created a bad feeling be-
tween them and the nomads. The
gypsy camp was visited by hundreds
Of persons yesterday and in the crowd
were many white and colored youths
who seemed bent on mischief. A
white boy was watching some OF the
gypsy women preparing a meal when
he felt a tug at his watch chain, and
looking down, say a gypsy child's hand
on the chain. trying to steal II and
the watch. He smacked the young
ster's ears and the howls Of the child
brought some Of the gypsy men to its
side. who Immediately assumed
threatening attitude toward the boy
This was what the gang was looking
for, and in an instant volley of
stones few in the direction of the
gypsies.
The members of the crowd ran
through the camp, kicking over pots
and pans and everything in their way
and scattered fires in every diectlon.
/ When the police restored order. things
went along quietly for a time. Last
night. however, the trouble broke out
afresh, when. without warning. a
shower of stones fell into camp.
This was tho signal for a general at
tack. an daside from bombarding the
place with stones. some Of the young
men in the crowd drew revolvers and
began shooting. King John says he
saw two youth hack Of trees discharg-
ing revolvers toward the camp.
Threats were heard last night after
this fray against the gypsies. and King
John says he will have policemen sta
toned at the camp If he has to pay
for the protection out of his own
pocket.
