MANSLAUGHTER
AGAIN CHARGED
New Indictments AgainstAustin
Dam Officials
"WILLFUL AND FELONI0US"
Significant Change in Wording Of
Warrant - Members Of Flood
Sufferers Association Join
Filling Damage Suits.

Austin 'a.-New warrants, charg'
ing the me of manslaughter have
been IL tg4 for President George q.
Bayles General Manager Fred n.
HAM and Watchman Michael G.
Bail whom the food survivors hold
resr ible for the great Austin dam
disa ter of last September, which cost
so lives.
The announcement has created un'
usual interest here because Bayless
and Hamlin, who are now awaiting
trial on an indictment upon other
manslaughter warrants issued in 1911,
have just secured a change of venue
from Potter county from the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania. The court is
expected within few days, to desig'
nate the county in which these trials
shall be held.
The first warrants were for involun'
tary manslaughter But the changes
in the new warrants are based upon
the following charge:
On account of wilfully and feloni'
ously committing the crime of man
slaughter upon persons on account OF
wrongfully and knowingly maintaining
a dam across Freeman Run, above the
borough of Austin, Pa, which broke
and went out on September 30, 1911.
which caused the death of the above
named people.
A warrant was issued for Bailey be-
fore, but he was not indicted. The
Austin-Costello Flood Sufferers asso.
citation, through its attorneys, sought
to prove that Bailey had knowledge
of the dangerous condition of the
dam prior to the catastrophe.

ball high over Zeider's head a couple
of parasangs down the left foul line.
he completed tossing off a game which
the White Sox began handing Wash
ington in the first inning. The final
count was 4 to g.
With anything like the support Civ
en- Cicotte in Wednesdays scrap, Doc
White would have been an easy victor
over Cashion in regulation time, be-
cause the Senators never would have
scored a run. An ivory play by Col
Inns, who ran in front of Rath after
the first-ball hit and tried to make the
putout himself, gave the locals their
first run. Wild throws by Rath and
Easterly produced pair In the sixth.
Still the Sox managed to keep in
the game with a help of a base on
balls, Collins single and Easterlys
two base hit in the fourth. That COM
bination produced two runs. The tally
necessary to carry the game into extra
rounds was due to pair of boots by
Eddie Foster and a two-base squeeze
play.

thing that has happened at the west
