AN ARMY OF TOADS.
MuItitudes of Reptiles Hopping
Across Colorado Into Denver.

rom Inc Denver fustJ
An army of toads is hopping toward
Denver, and Curator FerriI, OF the State
Historical Museum, is in possession of two
Of these oddly marked reptiles.
John p Lawson, a well-known farmer,
who lives near Parker. brought the pair
to him this morning and told the story of
the toad invasion. The breaking of Cas-
tlewood dam. he says. is responsible for
the remarkable number in which the toads
are congregated, the flow of its waters hav-
ing in some way brought about unusual
conditions and caused the appearance of
the toads. Myriads OF them are steadily
hopping toward Denver, and the amazing
sight reminds one of the Bible stories OF
Egyptian plaques. In a column about
twenty feet wide and nearly a mile in
length the repulsive, cold-blooded reptiles
are steadily advancing with a succession
OF hops.
Their appearance and immigration con-
stitute one of those mysterious pherome
ma which the world occasionally witnesses.
II the long line OF hoppers was gathered to-
gether like the coils of a rope it would
doubtless cover several acres. As yet lit
tie damage has resulted from the strange
iourneying. but considerable apprehension
exists in the minds OF property owners
whose lands lie in the path of the toads
Down Cherry Greek Valley they are TAX
ing their way, and II nothing occurs to di,
vert them they will reach Denver within
FIVE days.
Mr. Lawson, in showing the toads to a
visitor, declared that the appearance of the
army was awe inspiring and its numbers
incredible.
''If il reaches Denver a veritable panic
will ensue." said he, "and cannot imagine
ANYTHING short of an earthquake which can
prevent its arrival here in few days. One
would not credit the toads with such as
tonishing persistence and ability to travel.
They are irresistibly pressing onward
Some fall by the way from exhaustion, but
others hop over their bodies without stop
ping"
The toads are somewhat different from
the ordinary toad, but OF the same general
class Several local naturalists have start
ed up the Cherry Creek Valley to photo,
graph and study the immigration.
