VICTIMS OF THE FLOOD.
J. K, D«>a<lmnii4l niul Mr». Vanderhoof Suc
cumb to the Treacherous Waters of
a Mountain Torrent.
Word was received in this city Tues
day of the accidental drowning of J. R.
Deadmond, a prominent stockgrower of
Meyersburg, and Mrs. Vanderhoof, a res
ident of Sixteen-mile basin in Meagher
county. The accident occurred at the
ranch of Mr. Deadmond, the particulars
of which, as related by J. B. Murphy of
of the party who accompanied the re
mains of one of the unfortunate victims
to this city, are substantially as follows :
Sunday Mrs. Vanderhoof and four chil
dren had been visiting with Mrs. Faulk
ner, a widowed sister of Mr. Deadmond,
residing with him upon his ranch. Con
cluding to return to her home in the
evening and being compelled to cross
the Shields river which was swollen by
the meltiDg snow of the mountains to
such a depth as to prevent fording, she
started across a foot bridge, accompanied
by a young man in the employ of Mr.
Deadmond, the children having first been
safely taken over. As Mrs. Vanderhoof
exhibited considerable timidity, the
young man preceded her, permitting her
to place her hands upon his shoulders
for support. When near the middle of
the stream the woman either lost her
footing or became dizzy and fell into
the river, carrying the young man with
her Jn thjJ faU Mrg yanderhoofs hold
: wa> relMed the youn(? man who ,
an expgrt Bwimmeri Bafely reached
j the ghore whUe the , X)dy of the woman
, wag carried down the Bwift current .
j Tfae mish wa8 noticed by M r. Dead
mond who wa8 standing up0 n the bank
; of th# river> and he immediat el y ran
down the 8tream about thirty yards to
the ford. He waded in as far as possi
; b j e and , taking a position in front of the
fl oa ting body of the woman, attempted
j to rescue her but was carried of his feet
j by t be additional burden and both he
, and the woman were swept into deep
j water where, being unable to swim, both
1 sank and were drowned. Mr. Vander
j hoof, who had just returned from Castle,
I was notified of the sad accident and at
once repaired to the Deadmond ranch
where, with the assistance of the Cava
naugh brothers, he searched the banks
of the river ail night, but without dis
covering the body of either his wife or
Mr. Deadmond. In the meantime the
neighbors had been notified and at day
ight Monday morning searching parties
began a systematic patrol of the banks
of the*river. After proceeding down the
stream alunit an eighth of a mile the
body of Mrs. Vanderhoof was discovered
lodged upon an accumulation of drift
wood in the middle of the stream. A
suspension bridge was improvised nnd
the body recovered, after which the
searchers again proceeded down the
river a distance of over a mile where the
body of Mr. Deadmond was found
washed upon a bar in the river. After
the recovery of the bodies Justice George
M. Coe, who was one of the rescuing
party, empanelled a jury composed of
Hugh Cavanaugh. Patrick Cavanaugh,
J. B. Murphy, Martin Bates and Edward
Rickets, and held an inquest, the jury
returning a verdict in accordance with
the facts stated above.
Mrs. Vanderhoof was 32 years of age
and leaves a husband and four children,
the youngest 2 years of age and the old
e8 t g years, to mourn her loss. Her
parents reside in Virginia and a pecul
arly sad feature of her death was the
fact that she had made arrangements to
depart for that state Monday to pay
them a visit. Her remains were taken
to Castle where they were buried Tues
day.
J. R. Deadmond was among the most
prominent stockgrowers of the upper
Shields valley, was 44 years of age and
unmarried, although he had the care of
his widowed sister, Mrs. Faulkner, and
her two children, the older of whom,
Miss Drusie, showed marked heroism in
crossing the foot bridge after the acci
dent and conveying the four children of
Mrs. Vanderhoof to their home, a dis
tance of three miles, and cared for them
during the night. The remains of Mr.
Deadmond were brought to this city, ar
riving here Tuesday night accompanied
by Patrick and Hugh Cavanaugh, Mar
tin Bates, James Killorn, Edward
Rickett, J. B. Murphy, Mrs. F'aulkner
and daughter, Miss Bean and Miss Mary
Murphy.
The funeral of J. R. Deadmond was
postponed until Thursday morning at 10
o'clock to await the arrival of a brother
of deceased, who is engaged in mining
in St. Louis gulch, Meagher county. At
that hour funeral services were con
ducted in the undertaking rooms of A.
Krieger & Co.. Rev. W. C. Fowler ofiici
ating, after which the remains were in
terred in the city cemetery.
The June Rise.
Tiie Yellowstone river reached its high
est point at this place Tuesday noon,
when a farther rise was checked by a
cold wave from the east, followed by a
steady fall amounting at this time to
about two feet. The highest mark
reached was 8 feet and 6 inches ns indi
cated by the gauge upon the center pier
of the bridge at the foot o? Main street.
This is the largest volume of water car
ried by the Yellowstone during the his
tory of Livingston, although the high
water of 1887 very nearly approached
the mark of last Tuesday. Old residents
state that the Yellowstone has twice be
fore shown a higher stage of water
in 1873 and 1880. That of the latter year
is claimed to have been nearly eighteen
inches higher on the 7th day of July
than at any time since. It is now be
lieved by most persons that further dan
ger from floods is past and that the
larger quantity of snow that yet re
mains in the mountains will be much
slower to melt, as it is chiefly confined to
gulches, thus largely reducing the area
exposed to the sun's rays and the effects
of the warm winds from the southwest.
So far the damage has been chiefly con
fined to a partial loss of two bridges, and
the vegetable gardens of residents upon
the islands and in Riverside addition.
The market gardens of Andy Hume,
Anton Erpenbach, August Urbach and
James Hudson, residing upon island
ranches above the city, ate nearly de
stroyed, and in some eases will prove a
total loss. The same condition prevails
throughout the lower portion of River
side, where numerous small gardens
were either totally destroyed or in a
great measure damaged by the overflow
from the river. Mr. Erpenbach lost a
number of pigs that were washed from
his island and drowned, and James Hud
son includes in his loss about seventy
chickens. All day Sunday, Monday and
a portion of Tuesday teams were kept
busy hauling rock and earth and tempo
rary dykes were erected along the river
bank in Riverside addition, and to this
precaution can bs attributed the small
loss to residents in this portion of the
city. A number of those residing in the
overflowed district were compelled to re
move with their household effect* to
higher ground, entailing some expense
and the additional loss attendant upon
such hasty removals.
