Overwhelmed By Tona Of Rock?11 o it sob Were Crushed Like Eggi Shells. . th ed Vancouver, B. C., April 29.? Overwhelmed by countless tons of ^ rock, this morning shortly ufter ,p| 4 o'clock, and with probably 112 ^ of its inhabitants killed almost instantly, the little mining town ^ of Frank, in Southwestern Alberta rj,| is threatened with complete do1 an struction by flood to night. Old ftC Man's river, which flows through ^ the centre of the town, is dammed . tv up by the falling rocks to the e<^ height of nearly 100 feet and the w entire valley above the town is w flooded for miles. A big body of ^ water is pressing with force upon ^ the dam, the only protection the ^ town of Frank now has, unless the river shall find another chanw nel. Should the impromptu dam break, the entire village would be ? => eg I swept away. at ; A dispatch from Frank says: 1 OS !<4A tremendously loud raverbru- ^ ijtion shook the whole valley of , the Old Man's river this morning ^ i and scarcely half (the inhabitants ^ . of this town awakened to a realU . tc zation of the impending tdangor, ^ i when, from the top of flTurtle ^ Mountain, overlooking the settle ^ I ment, millions of tons of rock ^ were hurled. C! "The Frank Mines, operated by the French Canadian Coal Company, across from the town, ^ I were, seen to be buried under hundreds of feet of rock just as the morning light was breaking. 11 , Inside of five minutes from the o1 first thunderous shock, half the ^ , towu realized what had happened, ai a small force of men bad started ^ to the relief of the miners, dospite ^ the great risk they ran of being at , buried under the rocks, which w were still being precipitated from ^ the lofty mountain top. The vol- ^ unteer relief force was unable to ^ get into the mine, but managed to ot get near enough to determine that not a man at the workings bad ca escaped death. Many had been 8tl fearfully mangled. as "The disaster was merciful to 111 those men who were employed P( above ground in that they must have been killed instantly, while P' those men in the workings of the mine may yet be alive if the have air to breathe, if all the air L< shafts to the mine were closed up under that awful avalanche all the men must have died by this afternoon. The disaster was not confined to the vicinity of the mine alone, for many of the dwelling houses in the town of Frank were demolished by the falling rock. Some of the occupants of these houses escaped death, but many others were instantly killed. It ^ is conservatively estimated that '/ the 1089 of life will exceed one * hundred and the latest returm place the number of dead at tl 112." MINERS WORK THEIR WAY OUT. C t( Vacouver, B. C., April 29, jc 7:30 p. ra.?The latest informan j tion from Frank is somewhat more reassuring than earlier news ? in that there now seems to be less " danger than was at first anticipated flood, which bid fair to duplicato f' the Johnstown disaster, seems tonight loss probable A largo force of men has been at work 'l trying to create a new channel iat the dammed up water of the Id Man's river may bo run' off. bo men will work throughout tlio ght, and it is hoped that the ater will bo running through the nv channel before morning. Most of the men imprisoned in 0 mine, whose death at first seem 1 certain, got out this afternoon, wo died from suffocation, but the her 15 worked their way out. be rescuing party above ground ispaired of saving the entombed on, for the entrance was blocked f immense pilesof broken rocks, ie minors within, however, found i oxit whero there was less rock id after cutting their way rough 30 feet of debris all but to emerged from the mine unjurt. One of the imprisoned men ho so narrowly escaped death ent home after emergins from ie mine and found his house desoycd and his wife and six chil*en dead. There is now plenty ! air in the mine and the inside orkings are intact. A special from Frank at 7 p. m. itimatos the total number of dead , 95. The latest theory as to the uise of the disaster is that it was ie to a rock stido which carried ie top of Tuatle Mountain down pou the village below. It is now louglit that what was supposed ? be the smoke of a volcano was List and that the continued small its of rock was purely the afterlath of the original rock slide* . repetition of the calamity is now msidered unlikely. latimer Speaks For Good Roads.
