The work of burying the dead who lost their lives in the terrible calamity Sunday evening at Hbppner, Ore., has progressed steadily, and Tuesday evening 130 bodies had been recovered and buried. At least seventy more are missing, and at this time the roost reliable estimates place the number of dead at 200. The scene from the hillside overlooking the town is one of desolation. Huge piles of wreckage, in many places fifty feet high, fill the canyon for half a mile below the own. Aa the debris, which is covered many foot by mud, is cleared away, more bodies are found. Immense boulders weighing tons were rolled along by the flood and deposited in the midst of tho town or lodged against buildings. One hundred and fifty of the best residences were swept from the face of the earth. Trees and every standing thing was raise.!, and uprooted, The debris is piled along the railroad track to the height of freight cars. Among the other incidents of the terrible catastrophe, was the raving of three lives by Julius Keithly, 70 years old, who rode one mile and a half on the roofs of houses and pulled in three people from the flood. Jim Kern, the Oregon Railway & Navigation agent, met his death at the telegraph key trying to raise Portland to inform the outside world of the Impending calamity. His little daughter Katy, who was saved by remaining in the station' heuse, saw her father and mother lost in the whirl of mad waters. One of the most thrilling adventures was that of Tom Shuter, who. with his family, was carried down stream In his house for a mile and a half. Ills wife and two boys stayed in the upper rooms. Below town the house was shot across the current to the west side, where it lodged In the debris 15U yards from the canyon back. Shuter then took his two little ones on his shoulder ar.d swam 2ot yards in tho boiling terreni, contending with obstructions. l'e landed the children and then struck out for the house for his wife' and rescued her. A ROYAL New King of Servia at the Beck and Call of Revolutionists. The position of King Peter I, according to recent advices from Belgrade, Servia, promises to be little more than that of a royal captlMt'. The real government of the country will be a military dictatorship under the leaders of the revolution. Colonel Maschln and Colonel Milsrhlitrh. The new king is almost without any personal adherents, and the ruling spitits of the army, it is thought, would Just as readily murder him as they did his predecessor, should he opinise their aims. At present the whole country Is under military rule, and although no pro-fet-s districts have In the country been removed, each Is accompanied by an army officer who atterds the prefect wherever he goes, even to tho telephone.
