q long time probate process including
numerous, legal advertisements, attor-
neys and probate fees before he could
give clear title. He was much chag-
rined at this misfortune, but went to
work to clear up the title beginlng last
July and not ending until this week.
This is lesson to all to see that titles
are made good at transfer and save time,
annoyance and costs years afterwards.
There is another lesson attached to this
story, however, which the reader may
apply as he pleases, which is, that the
land is worth and will sell for thousand
dollars more this week than it would
have brought last July. In fact it looks
as though misfortune in this case was
simply good luck.

While this IS for only one county and
for one months collections, yet the fact
shown above, that almost halfthe money
collected by the county treasurer is for
educational purposes, is true also of the
total for the whole year, in not only this
county, but throughout the state. Afur-
ther fact is shown that only one dollar in
six goes for county expenses including
roads and bridges; and adding the insane
asylum fund, the state machinery costs
us almost as much as the county expense.

CLOUD BURST ON RIO GRANDE
Worst Storm Since '64-.---Ten
Miles of Track Washed Away
Midland Track Used by Rio
Grande.
Train No 8, due here at II SO yesterday
morning did not arrive in this city until
12:45 last night, being thirteen hours
late, due to one OF the greatest storms
and cloud bursts which has visited the
country east OF the range since 1864.
The writer OF this was a passenger on
Rio Grande No. 3 The train is due to
leave the city OF Denver at 8 p. M. The
train was held in the Union depot yards
until 11.45 and then started for the
west The train reached Colorado
Springs about 2:3O o'clock and from that
time on until the dawn of the day and
all the time the train remained there, the
wster fell in sheets, making the streets
OF that city veritable rivers and the
fields lying close to the city, miniature
lakes.
1t was nearly noon OF yesterday when
the order came that it would be impos-
sble to remedy the damage done by the
cloud burst on the Fountain river about
fifteen miles below Colorado Springs
and other orders came that the Rio
Grande should use the Midland tracks
as far as Leadville, which was done.
According to the reports made by the
officials of the Rio Grande road, over ten
miles Of track on the main line OF the
read to Pueblo was washed out. Besides
this length of track there were any
lumber of small bridges washed away
A wall OF water sixteen feet in height
came down the Fountain river carry ing
everything before it, reaching Pueblo
and causing that city great amount OF
damage in the flooding Of the lowlands
OF the Arkansas river, also carrying away
several bridges for the Sante Fe road.
The rain extended for the most part as
far west as Glenwood Springs, although
not nearly so heavy on this side Of the
range.
1t was particularly heavy in the Mid
die Park county and along the line Of
the Rio Grande in the Arkansas valley
near Buena Vista.
The damage to the Rio Grande will
run up into the hundreds OF Thousands.
but the good it will do for the farmers Of
the Arkansas valley will be inestimable,
as it will also for the other parts OF the
state.
1t ia impossible to tell how long the
tracks of the Midland will be used, but
it was hoped that by today that either
the damage done to the track would be
repaired, new track built around the
old or that the Sante Fe, which did not
suffer as much damage, might be used to
Pueblo.
1t was great storm and one long to
be remembered by the inhabitants in
that section OF the country in which the
cloud burst occurred and also to the peo
Pile all along the foot hills OF the Rocky
Mountain range, for the steady down
pour OF water.

Sunday Washington globe., 1902-04-20

AS a captain he has the respect and con
fidence of the men under him; they respect
him as a man and are proud to serve under
the leadership Of such great player as
Delehanty. Furthermore he has the kuack
of getting the very best work out of a
player and at the same time preserving his
popularity, which is an essential feature in
winning games as nothing is worse than
having sulky men on a baseball team.
AS Delehanty never was noted for throw
ing his money about in the streets, or sit
ting up nights blowing it like Sam Thomp-
son and Jack Glasscock used to do (?) his
salary, together with his luck in, following
the ponies, should have resulted in a snug
fortune laid by for the day-may it be ever
so far distant-when he shall withdraw from
the game which he has been an ornament
to for the past thirteen years. AT any rate
Washington is to be congratulated upon its
great luck in having such a rare player and
fine fellow as Ed Delehanty to captain the
team, and we all wish him the grandest
success in the world.
If anyone did not know of the years which
have passed since Jimmy Ryan first broke
into the major league they certainly would
not suspect the fact from the veterans ap
pearance. Whether Jimmy has found the
spring which Ponce De Leon was rubber
ing" after several years back, am unable
to state, but do know this, that the blonde
haired and good looking right fielder Of the
Washington Club doesn't appear to have
arrived at his thirtieth milestone yet. In
his actions, too, he is just as East as the first
day he ever donued Chicago uniform In
right garden Ryan is certainly at home, as
he plays that position with a grace and
naturaluess second to no one. His wonder
ful arm appears to be just as strong as when
only the most reckless Of runners dared to
make the dash from third to home on a
long fly out, when Jimmy Ryan caught the
ball, as Ryan invariably sent the ball home
IN time to head off the runner.
Ryan has always enjoyed the reputation
OF a splendid batter, and from the way the
boy from the Windy City has been tearing
OF doubles and triples so far, he bids fair
In the coming season to eclipse all Of his
previous batting records.
Billy Keister will have no trouble ia
making good" in center field; in fact he
