CAMPERS CAUGHT

Cloudbursts are sometimes very de-
structive OF life as well as Of property.
They come up 30 suddenly that 1t Is

Campers in the mountain regions
usually select the high ground above
the creek rather than pitch their tent
beside the gently ripping water. which
may become roaring torrent while
they sleep, sweeping them to destruc-
ton before they know that danger is
near. 1t was from neglect OF this
precaution that many lives we're lost
In a cloudburst near Morrison, Colo.
in the spring Of 1897. Some people
were camping along the borders OF the
stream. and, as 1t was just after dark,
had sought the shelter OF their tents
Suddenly they heard the awful and Ie-
culiar roar OF the approaching cloud
burst. 1t grew louder every second.
Realizing what had happened, the un-
fortunate campers-men, women and
children-rushed from their tents and
tried to reach the higher ground. In
the confusion and darkness some turn
ed the wrong way, and were soon
struggling In mad torrents, battling
with tree trunks and wrecks Of cabins
and immense masses Of moving stone
In the bosom Of the flood. Thirteen
lives went out In that dire night. The
bodies found later showed the marks

KING REALLY OAYNN
IDENTITY OF TH1 MAN KILLED AT
BRECKENRIDGE Is FINALLY
CLEARED UP
HEROES MADE IT COMPLETE
Deputy Sheriff Has Secured Facts
Which Make the Identihca-
ton of the Dead Al
most Certain.

The young man going under the name
Of Pat King, who was killed at Brecken-
ridge, Mimi, about three weeks ago by
falling off a train while trying to beat
his way West, is now believed to have
been Pat O'Flynn, Of this city.
The dead man was arrested at Brecken-
ridge for disorderly conduct and gave his
name as Pat King. He was given thirty
days for this. When he was killed the
sheriff identified him as the King that
had been in his custody, and that was
the only cIue that could be gotten as to
who he was.
When the news of his death was pub
lshed in the papers, friends in this city
who happened to know that he had
served time at Breckenridge under the
name Of King, suspected that it might
be him and accordingly went to Deputy
Sheriff Nick Herges, of this city, who
knows him well, and asked him to in
vestigate into the matter. Mr.. Herges
accordingly wrote to Sheriff g. F. Blu
ran, of Wilkin county, for a description
Of the dead man, and when the descrtp-
ton arrived 1t tailed exactly with that
Of young O'Flynn, of this city.
O'Flynn was twenty-four years old
and was on his way West at the time OF
his death. His mother is living with a
married sister in North Dakota.
