Bayless Dam Disaster

Late on the afternoon of September 30 the mammoth dam of the Bayless Pulp and Paper Company, located above Austin, Pennsylvania, broke, and two small towns below, together with numerous isolated houses, were all swept away. The horrors of Johnstown's flood were readily called to mind by this recent disaster. The loss of life reached into the hundreds, many whole families being swept away, and those who were not killed had most of their property destroyed by the flood.
