Jackson, Ky.: The arson cases were disposed of today when Crawford and Tharpe, teamsters for Hargis Bros., were set free and no indictments re turned by the grand jury. Some ex pressed the opinion that the murder cases will close the same way tomor row, when eJtt and White will also be released. And what might, follow is the question. It is eviden. that all in Breathitt county are considering the question seriously. It is stated by those who will talk. even secretly on the matter, that the grand jury was composed of residents of Breathitt county, who are identified with the dominant faction, and all were connected with it and that no indictments for anything were ex pected from a jury drawn in this coun ty, but that the jurors in the case of Curtis Jett and Thomas -White are from another county, and for that rea son a verdict of conviction may be possible.

Three Hundred Victims' Bodies Found at lone, Seventeen Mile Distant---A Twenty-Foot Wall of Water Dvshed Down The Little Stream---Portland's Aid. Portland, Oregon: Following a cloudburst, a wall of water, twenty feet high, rushed down the gulch of Willow creek at dusy yesterday and drowned nearly half of the 1250 inhabitants of Heppner, Ore. The furious water carried away the residence part of Heppner. So great was the force of the water that boulders weighing a ton were rolled along the gulch, crushing everything in their path. Wire bridges and railroads were swept away. The most rbliable reports tonight say that the loss of life at Heppner will be at least 500, though the num ber of dead probably is larger. A report from lone, seventeen miles from Heppner, says that 300 bodies carried there by the flood have, been recovered. The flood came with such suddenness that the inhabitants were unable to seek places of safety, and were carried down to death by the awful rush of waters. Some of the business part of Heppner, which is on high ground, escaped. Early in the afternoon a thunderstorm occurred, covering a wide region of country, and later a heavy rainstorm set in, many of the small streams overflowing their banks in a short time. Bridges were swept away like straws, and the darkness of the night soon made the situation appalling. As soon as possible after the flood subsided the work of relief was begun by the surviving residents. Dozens of bodies were found lodged along the bends of the stream, and in several places they were piled two or three deep. Up to 2 o'clock this afternoon 200 bodies had been recovered within the town. Many of the buildings not carried away were moved from their foundations or toppled over. Hundrdes of horses, cattle and sheep that had gone into the creek bottoms for water perished. As soon as possible news was sent by courier to the nearby towns, asking for relief for the stricken people. The Oregon Railway and Navigation Company started a relief train with doctors and supplies from the Dalles shortly after noon with a party of 100, including three doctors, four nurses and supplies of all kinds. At 1:30 this afternoon a relief train with doctors and supplies start ed for the scene from Portland. The citizens of Portland started a relief fund as soon as the news of the disaster spread over the city, and within a few hours $5000 was raised. Supplies will be rushed to Heppner as soon as they can be collected. Fifteen buildings in Lexington, nine miles below Heppner, on Willow creek, were washed away, but with no loss of life, the inhabitants hav ing time to save themselves from the surging torrent. At lone damage was done to buildings, though no loss of life is re ported. Heppner is a town of about 1250 inhabitants, the county seat of Morrow county, at the terminus branch of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company. Farming and stock raising are its chief indus tries. Willow creek, which is given as the cause, is an ordinary. small stream, and early reports indicate that the flood was caused by either one or two cloudbursts. --- #######***** ----ww NNE tge 00.
