We hear encouraging report Of the build
ing Of another railroad to Dodge City. We
want to be put on the record as prophesying
for Dodge City . grand future. The year
past has been a severe blow to the growth Of
the town, but We shall soon recover from the
set back; and with additional interests Be on
. more prosperous footing. Caldwell at one
time threatened to monopolizs the cattle
trade, at least the boom set in that direction,
bot Caldwell will only enjoy its local traffic.
Reduced freight rates promised it the bulk
Of the shipping trade; now the railroads
have pooled their rates restoring former
prices, and allowing composition at this
point The shipping business at Dodge City
therefore promises 10 he larger than last
year. The Indian Territory maneuven will
complicaie cattle interests in that section
very much, and finally shift the bulk Of the
cattle 10 ranges west. The addition Of Col.
orado flocks and herds will also add largely
to The business of this city; and with the ad.
dition Of the smaller herds and fccks thai
will take up the range along the railroad,
We may look for grand business. The out.
look is favorable, and has encouraged may
an old-iimer in Dodge City. We have never
had our faith shaken once.

| WATER-SPOUr BURSTS ABOVE
PUEBLO.

The Chieftain says about 10 o'clock Non
day night the heavens began to threaten Pu-
eblo With severe storm, and about half
past IL O'Clock it bunt upon the city in all
it's fury, assuming more the proportions Of %
Aurric ane than . rain storm. The clouds
overhead were dark and threatening, the
lightning was vivid, and the intonaiiops
from the heavens grew louder and more fire.
quent, while the clouds seemingly were part
ed asunder BY some unseen power. and in
less time than it takes to tell 1t, the streets
were flooded with the outpouring Of the an
CRY heavens. At half-past one cries for help
were heard from the Fourth street hill, and
one Of the police force came rushing down
to the avenue in search Of assistance for the
immigrants and others who had unfortu-
nstely been caught in the Fontaine bottom,
which divides East Pueblo from the city
proper. The Fourtain had suddenly risen,
and all those camping in the bottom and lis-
ing on the confines Of the stream we're IN
immediate danger Of their lives. fastening
to the scene Of danger, the Chisftain repor-
ter found that the stream, which that even
ing did not contain half foot OF water,
than covered an area Of more than quarter
of . mile. Cries were heard from different
points up and down the raging river, from
parties who were clinsins to the topmost
branches Of the trees for their livea. The
scene beggared description.
This il . recurrence of the food Of 1868,
when people were compelled to uss boats
for almost q week, to cros and recros the
raging torrent.
The Chieftain Of Wednesdsy Givss some
additional particulars Of the storm. A boy
was drowned in the food. Immigrants lose
81 900. A county bridge was washed away.
The bridge washed away on the Santa FL
road wss 100 feet long. About 800 feet Of
track was also washed away.
