PUEBLO, COLORADO,
CAST IN DEEP GLOOM
Forty Private Homes Darkened
and In Mourning.
RESULT LATE RAILROAD HORROR
Which snuffed Out More Than One
Hundred Lives, Most of Which Were
From that city-Immense Funeral

From that city-Immense Funeral
Procession.
Pueblo, Colo, August "a cast
of deep gloom was settled upon this
city today, the day following the rail-
road horror, which snuffed out 100 or
more lives. Many business houses
are closed out of respect for the dead
and more than 40 private homes are
darkened and in mourning.
The wreck victims of yesterday will
probably not be the only ones or the
most to be pitted, as already cases OF
total loss Of mind as a result of the
shock when told of loss of loved ones
are reported.
All the citizens have joined in one
immense funeral procession winding
increasingly from one morgue to the
other.
Scarcely a person in the city who
does not suffer a personal loss, know
ing some one of the victims as a
friend.
The calamity is the heaviest that
has ever fallen on the city. TheHirst
emotion that seized the city yesterday
morning as the news appeared, was
one Of incredulity. Today it has set
tied down to be a horrible certainty.
Families have been wiped out, an in.
stance being that of j. Thomas. com,
mercial gent of the Santa Fe railroad,
who, together with his wife, lostetheif
lives in the rushing waters.
All night long the search was kept
UP and an occasional body was locat
ed, but IN the darkness work was nee.
essarily slow.
The most treacherous of streams
the Fountain river, into which all the
dead bodies were washed, this morr
ing had fallen to nearly its formal CON
dition and the work of rescue will be
made easier. The death list as com
piled from the best obtainable sources
of Information, shows total of sixty
six identified dead; known missing 28
and unidentified bodies six, making
an even 100 lives lost. This list viii
be more than likely added to.
The railroad situation has material
ly improved traffic resumed this
morning over the Rio Grande tracks
Many of the officials returned to the
wreck scene early this morning with
wrecking crews and today will proba
bly, wipe out all traces of the horrible
catastrophe
The following is a list of additional
dead and missing:

Professor Richard G. Moulton of the

old versions presented the books in
such a monotonous arrangement of
chapters, verses and numbers as to
efface all forms of literary structure

fer who love money more than justice
and have more faith in steam and cleo
tricity than in God and goodness. Pros
perity was "a peoples curse if it caused
them to fall away from religion and
righteousness" 1t was folly ito pro-
claim the sacredness of property where
the sacredness of human life is ignored
or contemned.'' He denied that we had
secured equal opportunities to all. He
referred to the fact that more than
70 per cent of this nations wealth is
owned by per cent of it's families,
while the tendency was to greater in
equality under the competitive system.
The enormous waste of this system, he
thought, was partly responsible. He
frankly declared that socialistic agi-
tation was doing good by proclaiming
the wrongs of the masses.
