FLOOD FROM MOUNTAIN
DESCENDS UPON TOWN

Dunbar, Pa, July pa devastating
food, rushing down the mountain side,
spread ruin throughout Dunbar today.
"A cloudburst transformed small
streams into raging torrents. A num-
Der of buildings were completely
wrecked and hundreds of others dam
aged. The town is almost entirely
under water tonight and conditions
are chaotic.
Up to a late hour tonight no fatali-
ties had been reported.
City hall, police headquarters, a
restaurant, jewelry store, grocery
store, two warehouses and a number
of dwellings were swept away COM
pletely. Not house in the loWlands
escaped injury. Over 200 are sub
merged.
The main thoroughfare is blocked
with debris. At points the wreckage
is piled 20 feet high. The track
foundations of the Pennsylvania rail-
road were swept away and the tracks
dropped into the creek. The station
platform was carried away and the
building partly wrecked. Mines and
property of the Freeport Coal COM
pany and the. United Coal company
have sustained inestimable damage.
A score of families were caught IN
their homes in the lower section OF
the town. They were in imminent
danger of drowning. A rescue party
of six men, who volunteered, went to
their assistance and succeeded up to
10 o'clock in taking the members OF
seven families to safety. To rescue
the marooned people it was necessary
for the rescuers to swim to the al
most submerged homes. One at a
time the victims were brought back to
high ground. From Dunbar to Union
town railroad tracks have been wash
ed out in long stretches and train ser
vice is abandoned. Other roadways
are blocked by landslides. Tons OF
earth slipping down from the hillsides
have effectively tied up all kinds of
traffic: Many narrow escapes from
death were encountered by residents
of Dunbar.

CLOUDBURST FLOODS
MILES OF TERRITORY

Jeannette, Pa, July 21.-A cloud
burst flooded miles of territory be-
tween here and Greensburg today. The
lowlands wer quickly inundated and
hundreds of persons were compelled
to fee for their lives. Residences and
business places were almost COM
pletely submerged in some districts,
while. the Manor Valley and Turtle
Creek railroads, together with trolley
service, were put out of commission.
Over 1000 persons, including many
women and children, are marooned on
the mills of Oak Ford park, where the
annual outing of the employees of the
Union Supply company from West
morel--lr and Fayette counties was
held today. Two creeks in the vicln-
ity of the park overfowed their banks
and before the pleasure seekers in the
park could help themselves, had sur
rounded the hill.
The water continued to come up ear
ly tonight and no method of remov-
ing the people from the park has been
provided.
Seventy-fve families are homeless in
Jeannette. The monetary loss will be
heavy.
After wading knee deep in water
the 1000 marooned picnickers reach
ed a railroad station and were taken
to their homes.
