Republican Special Pluvius

realm on Monday evening and gave
Fort Collins aud vicinity such n
drenchlng rs has not been known In
this section for many years.
The storm came up from the west
shortly after o'clock in the afternoon.
and was accompanied by vivid flashes
OF lightning and heavy thunder, the In
cessant downpour of rain and hall last
Ing until after 0 o'clock. The precipi-
tation at the Agricultural College was
three and one-quarter inches. Five
miles south of here 1t was
almost six inches. It was the
worst and most destructive rain and
hailstorm that this section has expert
enced In many years.
Rivers Of muddy water knee-deep
ran through the streets, filling the eel
lars and buildings situated below
grade. The real damage to property
in town by water was very slight and
altogether Insignificant compared with
the losses sustained III the country
near by.
Lightning struck Postmaster ]. NJ.

floor. Fortunately, beyond the shock,

were three horses In this stable stand

Pueblo, Colo, May Zl.-tlSenver
News Speciall-E. Brown and his wLe
were drowned at Beulah last night in
a cioudburst which caused great
wave Of water to roll down through
the canon, swelling an ordinary small
stream known as South creek TO a
roaring torrent. Various theories were
advanced as to how they met their
death, the body Of the man being
found long distance down stream
from the cottage into which the fami-
Iy had moved from Avondale some
months ago. Mrs. Browns body was
found in q lower room of the cottage,
where death by drowning had over
taken her.
In their room in the attic the two
small children Of the family were
found safe In their bed, but half fright
ened to death. 1t is supposed that when
Mr.. Brown found the water advancing
he looked for some method OF escape
for himself and family and was car
ried away in the flood. Reports OF the
drowning came in this afternoon, but
1t was not until tonight, when some
of the neighbors came In and took
back with them two collins that the
certainty Of the catastrophe was de-
termined.
Beulah, In the outskirts OF which the
drowning occurred, is summer resort
twenty eight miles southwest Of Pu-
eblo, In the foothills Of the Greenhorn
range, and Is much frequented by Pu-
eblo people during the heated term.
There is no railroad connection with
the village nor any telegraph or tele-
phone wires. Report has 1t. however,
that considerable damage to land and
crops throughout Beulah valley was
done by the cloudburst which came
down about Q O'Clock last night.
Informat ton was brought into the
city tonight that every bridge over
the st. Charles river from Its source
to its mouth at the Arkansas has been
carried away. Several years ago a
staunch steel bridge was built on
heavy stone foundations on the old
burned mill road where 1t crossed the
st. Charles. This structure was
swung from It's foundation and twist
ed into a mass Of iron and steel. The
devastation wrought by this cloud
burst In Beulah valley had its counter
part in the lower portion Of the stream,
causing the wreck to Rio Grande train
No. 115 early this morning.
After n blockade of nearly twenty
four hours caused by rush Of water
down Hardsecrabble canon into the
Arkansas river, the main line Of the
Denver & Rio Grande road across the
mountains was opened for traffic at
4:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon. Over
1000 feet of track was thrown aside
by the mighty weight of the oncomlng
flood, but big force of men soon
Strengthened out the track and cribbed
1t up SO that the movement OF trains
was resumed. Passenger and freight
trains were held at Sallda and Pueblo
while the repair work was In progress.
Not life lost. Not an injury re-
ceived more serious than a cut Of the
hand from broken glass, n brllise, or a
trifing sprain Of some muscle. and ev-
cry passenger able to continue on his
