Four Houses Overturned.

-Four of the small dwellings were COM
pletely overturned and crushed, the
others were twisted from their founda-
tions, the roofs caved in by large rocks
and so damaged as to scarcely be worth
repairing.
Another few rods down the gulch was
the trestle of the Bingham & Garfield
railroad, and this, twenty yards in
length, went out before the rushing
wall of water and debris. Then the
flood, reaching the mouth of the gulch,
spread out into the main street of Bing-
ham and lost its force, although still of
sufficient depth to cause many minor
washouts and flood numerous cellars.
Track Washed Out.
The Denver & Rio Grande suffered a
dozen small washouts between Copper
ton, the high line station. and Welby,
the junction point with the main line,
but the damage will, it is said be re-
paired by tomorrow morning, A large
force Of men was at once put to work
on the Bingham s. Garfield trestle, and
officials of the road said tonight that
the line would be in operation by to"
morrow noon.
Due to the rains which continued
most of last night, the track Of the Bos-
ton Consolidated on level No. was
softened SO that at IL O'Clock this
morning as a donkey engine was
pushing a train of eighteen ore cars up
the slope, five of them overturned.
Brakeman G. H. Smith, who was riding
on the front car felt it give under him
and leaped just in time to escape being
carried down the embankment. The en-
CINE and the other cars remained on the
track, but operations on this level were
suspended for several hours.
Tonight the rain is only drizzle and
the prospect for clear day tomorrow
is regarded as favorable.

BINGHAM, July 23.-Eight houses
were wrecked, their contents swept
away and the lives of forty persons i'm
periled at 8 O'Clock this afternoon,
when a cloudburst sent wall of water
and thousands of tons of rock and
earth down Freeman 5 gulch in Lower
Bingham.
The roar Of the approaching waters
gave warning barely in time for the
members Of the families to flee to
higher ground and escape the roaring
torrent.
All Of the occupants of the houses
are foreigners, Italians and Austrians,
the men being employees OF the mines
and smelter. One aged man was pain
fully injured, being struck by heavy
timber in the current, he being un-
able to reach safety as quickly as did

On 'sMade" Ground.
On 'made' ground, TO the north of
the narrow gulch, stood the eight frame
houses, two of them known as the Rob
erts terrace, being owned by H, C. Rob-
erts; the other six, called Ballison
Place, the property of G. X. Ekman,
proprietor of the Bingham Steam laun-
dry.
A steady, but not heavy rain was
falling at the time the cloudburst came
in the mountains one-half mile above.
The flood gathered force and mo-
mentum as it came down the gulch,
sweeping before it large mass of
earth and rock that constantly grew in
volume.
The torrent was only few rods dis
tant when the warning cry was raised
and the occupants OF the houses had
only opportunity TO snatch few per-
sonal belongings before fleeing for
their lives

MUSICAL CRITICS
The Young vioIinist's Recital
Proves Latent Talent Is
Developing Fast

Maud PowelIs verdict, after hearing
John Clifford play for her criticism,
was that if the youth shows the same
energy and determination to succeed
that he shows talent, he will become
a noted yiolinist.
That verdict was agreed to last
night By large audience before which
young Clifford appeared in the con-
cert given on the roof-garden of the
Young Hotel Undoubtedly the boy
has great promise He has a we'll
developed technique and natural
grasp Of thematic meaning, the basis
of musicianship There is much hard
work before him, but he begins with
youth and talent, and the critic would
say immediately that it is for him to
carve his musical future. He is a
modest, unassuining lad, but not lack
ing in confidence, and the confidence
is due to knowledge of his inStru-
ment.
The program last night was not an
easy one for the sixteen-year-old lad
to get through successfully and Gift
ford'S achievement is more than
merely playing IN public. The Beeth-
oven sonata which opened the pro
gram, Sindings "yogelein in Hahn"
and the Hungarian Rhapsody offer
ed sufficient variety to test Clifford
out pretty fairly.
a great deal Of the success OF the
concert was due to Mrs. l.. Tenney
Peck, accompanist, and Mrs. G. K.
Taekabury, contralto, who assisted
Mr.. Clifford
Mrs. A. E. ingalls,, with whom young
Clifford has been playing, and those
who have watched his work develop,
are much encouraged over the out
look for bright future for the
young man and believe that his in
tention to continue his studies on the
Coast and in Europe is justified.
