ny the expedition is estimated At about ten
thousand.
Several parties Of painted, shaved and feath-

The sudden rise in Cherry Creek and Platte

Denver, Colorado, May 23d, 1S6


Editor Republican On the night of
the 18th this city was visited by . most
fearful food. Your readers are familiar
With the famous " Cherry Creek" Of '5S
and 80, the then attraction from gold
hunters. That creek runs through the
center of the city, leaving on its left bank
West Denver, on it's right East Denver
The former is level bottom, and the latter
. rolling highland. The creek, with Elm.
gle exception, has been dry since the set
element of the country.
90 Thursday night, shortly after mid.
night, We heard noise like q distant huT.
ricanc-it gathered force and became ter
rife in volume. Springing burriedly to .
commanding position, We bebeld wall of
water, pouring With irresistible force along
the bed Of Cherry Creek. and spreading in
all directions over the western portion of
the town. Ten minutes before there was
not drop of water in the creek bed--now
mass Of boiling aud surging water swep,
down With force only equslled By that Of
Niagara. The blood stood still in horror !;
men became speecbless. Fright-terror-
horror, seized upon every one. In the
face of this torrent nothing could stand.
The Methodist Church, the City Hall,
the Office of the Daily Evening News,
warehouses, Offices, out buildiogs-every-
thing was swept away As by magic. The
mad rush Of the waters vas awful, the
waves ran fifteen to twenty feet high. The
6rss warning given to the sleeping citizens
vas the rush of water into their houses
in some cases the house and inmates went
down together. Mr.. Waer, keeper of the
calaboose and the City Hall, had only time
to reach the roof of the building, and foated
three miles down the Platte and escaped.
Ferry street, formerly the principal bust.
ness street, had three or four feet of water
rushing down it's centre. Many stores being
built upon the sands of the creek, toppled
over and mingled With the roaring food
The entire bottom above and below was
submerged washing off houses, destroying
crops. killing cattle, horses and sheep, one
party losing $500 sheep. another 1000.
The Office of the Commonwealth vas SUBJ
merged, but aside from liberal supply Of
mud and water, no damage was done the
Office. 3.
No estimate can now be made of the
damage. All the bridges are gone, tele-
graph poles swept away, and universal
ruin aud desolation scattered over this
whole range of country. The loss of life is
comparatively small-how numerous it is
to tell. a r. t.,
Cherry Greek has its source on the
"divide which separates the waters of
Platte from those Of the Arkansas, and the
country is basin slopiog either way,
gathering all the rains in its bed. For
several days it has rained in torrents sll
along the "divide," (and even } on of the
Mississippi Valley must come here to-
realize what hard rain is and this aceu-i
mutation Of water soddenly launched itself
into the dry bed Of Cherry Greek, and
swept al before Il. It will require several
days to sum up the resaits Of the disaster.
