Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 15. - A tremendous landslide came down at 1920 yesterday afternoon about half mile west of Spence's Bridge, near Ashcroft, B.C., sweeping the waters of the Thompson river over the entire Indian village, leaving nothing but wreck in its path. The landslide caused a wave from ten to fifteen feet high up the river, carrying the ferry and all small boats before it. Fifteen Indians are reported missing and twelve injured. Doctors have been sent from Kamloops and Ashcroft.
