Great Flood Game Rushing
Down Casper Mountain.

CASPER, Wyo., Aug. IA terrible

The first thing the flood reached was
the pleasure resort at the head of Gar

lnRs were crushed and swept away, and
the original site of the hotel Mt this
point is buried beneath debris twenty
or more feet deep.
From here the water followed the
course OF the creek aud demolished

the water marks the volume of water
was forty feet high and forty rods wide
