Portland, Ore., Juno 15.-Five hun dred people lost their lives in a cloud burst that almost entirely destroyed the town ot Heppucr, Oro., at 0 o'clock la?t night. Heppner is tho County seat of Mor- i row County and hud about 1,250 inhab itants. All tho telephone and telegraph wires ore down and no accurate infor- I uintion can bo obtained, but the esti mate of loes of lifo is based on reliable reports received up to tonight. A re {tort from lone, 1? mil' A from Reppner, s to tho effect that 300 bodies have been recovered. A messenger who ar rived at lone said a wall ot water 20 j feet high rushed down into the goldi ! in which Heppner is situated, carrying everything before it. The Hood came with such suddenness that the inhabi I tauts were unable to seek places of I safety and were carried down to death I by the awful rush of water. Almost the entire residence portion of the town was destroyed, but some of the business part, which is on the highest ground, escaped. Huge boulders which weighed a ton were carried down by the current and many people were killed by being dashed against tho rocky bluff. Early in the afternoon a thunder storm occurred, covering a wide region of country, and later a heavy rainstorm set in, many of the small streams over flowing their banks in a short time. Bridges were swept away like straws. As soon as possible after the flood had subsided the work of relief was commenced by the citizens of the town. Dozens of bodies were found in the creeks and in some places they were ?iled over one another. Up to 2 o'clock his nf ternoon over 200 bodies had bceu recovered almost withiu the city limits. Tho buildings whioh were not carried away were moved from their founda tions or toppled over. Hundreds of horseu, cattle and sheep and hogs that had gone into tho creek bottoms for water perished. News of the calamity did not reach the outside world until today, all tho means of communication having ceas ed. As soon as possible news was sent by cornier to the nomby towns. The Oregon Railway and Navigation com pany started a relief train with physi cians and supplies from The Dallas shortly after noon. At 1.80 this after noon another train of relief started for the scene from this city. Citizens of Portland started a relief fund as soon as the news of the disaster spread over the city, and within a few hours $5,000 was raised. Supplies will be rushed to Heppner as -? oon as they can be assembled. Townville Notes. A. W. Speares, of White mo mid, Texas, is spending awhile at his fath er's, J. C. Speares.
