GUNNIsoN RESERVOIR BURSTS.
People Rushing for Places of Safety in the
Dark Hours of Night.

JUAB, May 2S-[Special telegram to THE
HERALD. l-Reliable information has lust
reached here of the bursting of the Gunnison
reservoir, nine miles above that place, at about
o'clock this morning, caused by the breaking
of the great iron pipe which runs through the
dam for the purpose of draining off the water
from the reservoir.
Indications of a break had been noticed for
several days, and men were kept there con-
stantly to watch and strengthen the weak
places as much as possible and when the breaI,
came they haStened to inform the inhabitants
OF GunnlSon OF the danger they were in. A mes
Senger was at once dispatched to warn the
people along the Sewer river to be prepared to
remove their families to a place of safety when
The Hood should come.
The reservoir was five miles long and about
one ana half miles wide, and about twenty
1eet deep, with good fall. No wonder that the
greatest excitement should prevail and that
visions OF second JohnStoWn disaster should
loom up before the people living on the low
land along the course OF the rushing torrent as
Inc excited cries of the messengers and of the
people in the midnight darkness plainly fore
TOLD The doom OF their houses and the accumula-
ton OF years of toll. The people hurriedly
dressed themselves, seized what thew couId
