Heavy Storm Strikes Colorado Doing
Much Damage.
SEVERAL LIVES REPORTED LOST
Colorado & Southern Railroad
Bridge mt Tlmnath -WFeckcd.-
Wire Communication With See-
ton Entirely Cut on.

Denver, Col, May 21.-A cloudburst
at the head of the Cache la Poudre
river caused that stream to overflow
its banks, and meager reports received
here indicate that great damage has
been caused by the food. The rush Of
the food caused the dam which holds
the water Of Livingston lake, 85 miles
above Fort Collins, to break, and this
added volume of water swept down
the Cache la Poudre, practically wip-
ing out the towns of Livermore and
La Porte, respectively IA and 3 miles
above Fort Collins. 1t is reported that
one person was drowned at the former
place.
River Vile Wide.
At Fort Collins the river, which
normally is about the width OF the
average mountain river, is now over
mile wide, and the Russian settle-
ment, consisting of about 800 families,
is inundated. Already number of the
frame dwellings Of these people have
been swept from their foundations and
sent swirling along with the food. In
several instances the occupants were
unable to make their escape, and were
carried along. 1t has not yet been
learned whether there was any loss
of life at Fort Collins, but 1t seems
safe to predict that there has been.
Wreckage of houses, household goods
and carcasses of dead animals, etc.,
being carried by Fort Collins by the
food
Bridge Washed Out.
From Greeley, about rs miles east
CT Fort Collins, comes the information
that number of wagon bridges be-
tween there and Fort Collins have
been washed away, and the Colorado
& Southern railroad bridge at Timnath,
about midway between the two towns,
wrecked. No trains will be sent out
on that line Friday night. The Colo
RADIO & Southern from Collins to Gree
ley is branch line. Although the
crest of the food has not yet reached
Greeley, and is not expected until mid
night, ranchment and other jewellers
along the bottoms are moving to the
high ground. The Cache la Poudrs
river runs through one Of the most
thickly settled and richest agricultural
districts of Colorado A large portion
of the northern part of the state is ir-
rigated from this stream, and num-
Der of immense reservoirs have been
constructed for the purpose of storing
the water Should the force of the
waters rush weaken these sufficient to
cause break and release the stored
water, the result could lie nothing but
disastrous.
Wire communication with the foot
section is fitful, and all the towns
along the upper Cache la Poudre have
been entirely cut off.
