The Johnstown flood in miniature has
been duplicated in the hiclalngah val-
ley. The bursting of tivo dams be-
longing to the Fishhlll and Motionwnn
Water company caused a 00110 that
wiped out the little village at Tlmony's

killed seven persons. The dead are;

Who Is Responsible?
”Who is to blame for this awful loss
of life?" is the question board on all
sides in the villages of Fishklll and
Matteawnn.
Coroner Bcvler refused to express an
opinion beyond this statement: ”There
is great ludignatlon expressed against
the owners and builders of those reser-
voirs. but I can't foretell the outcome.
1 have subpmnnod a jury. and it Is for
them to fix the responsibility."
Morgan H. Hoyt. a member of the
jury, said: "I believe that the Fishklll
and Mettcawan Water company will be
held for criminal negligence. Une of the
dams at least has been notoriously un-
safe ever since it was built: that was
10 years ago. but It has been leaking all
the time. The dam was 1% foot abun-
the water and ill-3 below and built of
cobblestones. People have been pro-
dictlng its collapse ever since I have
