TOPEKA SCOURGED BY AN AWFUL
CALAMITY OF FLAMES AND FLOOD

Topeka, Kas., May 31-While the
hundreds of drenched and shivering
denizens of North Topeka were Gagged
in the upper floors of the homes or on
roofs throughout the flooded sections
yesterday, flames broke out and spread
rapidly, Many were burned before
they could get out. while others were
driven to suicide by drowning when
threatened with cremation. The loss
of life is at least 200. Blazing buildings
fioated against others, setting them on
fire, and when the tale of horror
stopped coming over the wires this
morning indications were that all
buildings not destroyed by the flood
would be eaten by flames.
North Topeka has 10000 inhabitants
and contained all large mills and fac
tories in the city, hence the loss will
run into millions
The loss OF life has already been ap-
palling and promises to grow. Con-
servative estimates place the deaths
by drowning and fire at l50. with 300
TO 400 more in imminent peril.
Topeka. Kan. May 30.-People who
did not leave North Topeka last night
when they had a chance are now In the
greatest danger OF losing their lives.
As far as can be estimated at this time
over 500 people are beyond reach of
rescuers. The Kansas river is rising
at the rate Of three inches an hour
Thisty are known 10 be dead. and the
list will be much larger. Hundreds

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
D0INGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
lndexing Stock Brands.

With more than 10000 stock brands
registered with the secretary of state,
the task of revising the records and
indexing them is complicated by the
similarity in many cases. In this con-
nection the brand department is en-
deavoring to enforce such system as
will give brands that resemble each
other to herds in different sections of
the state.
Such large number of symbols
makes 1t impossible to prevent what
amounts 10 duplicating, but the brand
office is trying to remove confusion re-
garding the ownership of stock by en-
forcing the new system. 1t will be
nearly two years, however, before the
state has set of records that can be
called perfect.
One of the points made by the sec
retary of state is that stockmen who
move their herds to a portion of the
state where a brand similar to theirs
is in use, should apply TO the office for
another design, and thereby prevent
confusion and the probability of dis
putes. On this subject the secretary
of state has written the following let
ter.
There seems to be considerable mis-
apprehension among stockmen as to
just what is prohibited in the matter
of conflicting brands.
"The fact of the matter is, that while
the law prohibits the recording of the
same brand for more than one party,
1t is entirely silent upon the subject of
conflicting brands, and in order to pro-
tect n recorded brand. as much as is
possible this Office has made 1t rule
not to record brands which conflict
with other recorded brands in the
locality or near the range where the
same is to be used.
'As there are more than 10000
brands in use in this state and now of
record in this office, it is. of course,
impossible to carry this rule any far
ther than to avoid conflict in the
same locality or on the same range.
1t is matter of course that law
or rule which would prohibit the re-
cording of brands which might con-
flict with brands in use anywhere in
the state, would limit the number of
brands to be recorded to possibly 1000
or 1000.
equently parties having a record
ed brand see fit to remove stock to a
range other than their recorded range,
and of course. occasionally come into
conflict with brands in use on the new
T.. 4. g.,,1.V
edy which suggests itself seems to be
that the party removing the stock make
inquiry as to what brands are record
ed for use on or near the new range.
TO discontinue the use of the brands
in case OF conflict with brands on such
new range. and to make application
to this Office to record a brand which
will not conflict"
