_ The return of Mrs. Warren Fair- 
banks to her western home after a 
season at Beverly Farms had a 
most unfortunate ending through 
the loss of one of her traveling 
bags containing $10,000 worth of 
jewelry, which was taken enroute 
from Beverly Farms to Chicago. 
She did not learn of her loss until 
last Saturday. The jewels as des- 
eribed to the police in Chicago were: 
One diamond necklace, set in plati- 
num, valued at $5000; one diamond 
dinner ring set in platinum, valued 
at $1000; three solitaires, valued at 
$2000; one emerald solitaire and 
several small pieces of jewelry val- 
ued at $2000. Mrs. Fairbanks previ- 
ous to her marriage was Miss Ethel 
Cassidy of Pittsburg.

A very important social function 
of the October season on the North 
Shore was last Saturday evening’s 
dinner party at ‘‘Eagle Rock,”’ 
Pride’s Crossing, which Henry Clay 
Frick gave in honor of Sec. of State 
Philander S. Knox. Entertainers 
were brought over from New York 
to provide after dinner amusement. 
Hon. Mr. Knox did not tarry long 
at Pride’s leaving the North Shore 
on Monday. He found time, how- 
ever, for a golf contest with Mr. 
Frick on the Myopia Hunt club’s 
links.

while a few that did not receive the full force of the flood were only slightly 
damaged. One of the pictures above shows a scene in the main street of 
Austin, where frame buildings were thrown pellmell against a brick block 
housing the local bank. The other picture shows debris piled many feet high 
at the railroad station. The bodies of the victims were in many instances 
buried under these tons of debris, and recovering them was thereby made
