FLUODS MENAUE FEBNIE, B.U. Three Men Been A despatch from Fernie, B. 0., says: The Elk River is on the ram- page and small shacks, lumber, trees and bridges are being washed away in and around here. The Elk Lumber Company and Fernie Lumâ€" ber Company lost much timber as a result. The railway bridge near Elk had two spans damaged and the trains could not cross. Passen- gers were transTerred.

Residents in the river flats have lost a. large amount of cattle, gar~ BUSH FIRES ARE BAGING A despatch from Elk Lake says: Bush fires have started earlier than usual this season. For three days past men from Booth’s two lumber camps up the Montreal River have been fighting fire, and they make no bones about blaming the prosâ€" pectors for it. The “Big Six” Minâ€" ing Co. have been fighting the same enemy during the past week. On Monday night the fire worked its way down to the outskirts of the town of Smyth, just across ‘ the river from here. The sight was im- pressive as night came on, even the smallest branches being sharp- ly silhouetted against the flames. He Plunged into the Niagara to Save Wife’s Life. A despatch from Niagara Falls, N Y., says: Louis Cohen of Buf- falo, saw his young wife leap into the swirling river between Second and Third Sister Islands at 5 o’clock on Sunday afternoon, only 150 feet above the brink of the ca- taract. Without a moment’s hesiâ€" tation he followed her, caught her hand and struggled desperately to save her. Mrs. Cohen probably died in her husband’s arms. Be- fore it was possible to bring effi- cient help, an hour had passed. When aid at last arrived, Cohen was ehxausted and could not tie the rope thrown him around his own er his wife’s body. He had been unable, too, in the long wait to keep his wife's head above water. He held to the rope with one hand and was drawn ashore, but lost his grip on his wife’s body when within fifâ€" teen feet of the bank. The woman’s body was whirled away and later in the day was found fast on a rock 100 feet above the brink. When it was rescued life was extinct. A despatch from Paris, Ont., says: Anticipating the development of rabies in the threeâ€"year-old son of William North, a citizen of Paris, father and son will go to New York, where the little t-ot will undergo treatment for the dread seizure.

Cellars in different sections were flooded and much damage caused to private proâ€" perty, particularly to gardens. To the south of the town, where the full effect of the cloudburst was felt, one lad who was in the field after the cows was compelled to swim. The land was low and the water rose at an alarming rate.
