THE WILD HORSE ROAD
DAM BREAK is
THOUGHT WORK
OF DYNAMITER

BAKER, ore, June 20 Especial
to the East Oregonian THAT the
killamaque dam was blown up is the
most probable explanation of the dis
aster yesterday morning Investiga-
tors rea ching the lake following the
flood yesterday found that a section
Of the dam 40 fet wide and 10 feet
deep had gone out. The dam had a
concrete core and during previous
seasons the dam had withstood high
er water to the extent Of Is feet in
the lake. Consequently il is argued
the dam would not have broken from
natural causes. However. there is a
possibility ice in the lake might
have damaged the dam SO the real
cause of the break Thursday may re-
main mystery. though a further in
vestigation is being conducted.
Suspect Is Released.
A laborer named Gray arrested
yesterday at the instance of officials
Of the company owning the reservoir
but was released today after he had
proven an alibi.
The breaking or blowing up of the
dam released water that lowered the
surface OF the lake to the extent of
10 feet. The Eastern oregon Light &
Power Co. will have loss of approx
imately $4,000. The company fur
nished electricity for Baker and
Haines and both places were cut off
from electricity by the disaster.
though Baker was soon supplied by
an auxiliary steam plant there.
The loss of livestock in the flood
was not heavy and no human lives
were lost though some narrow es-
capes occurred. The people in Rock
creek did not know of the flood un-

phone poles in the path of the torrent
