WIND AND FIRE
AT FORT COLLINS

Denver, Feb. g. special dispatch
from Fort Collins yesterday says:
Fort Collins was >panic-stricken for
an hour to-day. Early in the morning
a roar of wind was heard several miles
west of here in the mountains. Short
ly after. o'clock 1t struck town and a
few minutes afterward the city was
filled with dust, flying boards, limbs OF
trees and other loose objects. Barns
and outbuildings were wrecked all
over the city. Wagons and buggies
were rolled away, overturned and
wrecked.
r. A. Trimble, weather observer at
the college, reports the velocity of the
wind from 1880 to IL o'clock as aver
aging eighty-fve miles an hour. The
force of the wind was 60 great at
times that many of the large plate
glass windows In downtown stores
were forced in and much damage done
by dust Windows were broken all
over the city by missiles carried
through the air.
Several small fires occurred In the
city, the most serious being in the
Loomis addition. where the home Of
Russell Barckley was licked up by
flames. On the adjoining lot barn.
team OF horses and two wagons were
burned. The fire spread from this
place to a vacant lot, but before II
could reach the town a force, of fire
fighters checked 1t.
At 8 o'clock Senator w. A. Drake,
who lives three miles south Of Fort
Collins, telephoned to send men re-
gardless OF cost to fight fire that had
started west OF his farm and threat
ened the whole Harmony district.
About fifty men responded and sue
ceeded in getting the flames under con-
troll, but not until a granary contain
ing 700 bushels OF grain and corrals
and stables had been burned to the
ground and an orchard. barn and feed
pen belonging to Henry Franz had
been destroyed.
Will Dafiin's barn, near wellington.
twelve miles north of here. was lifted
into the air and carried over two
fences without damaging them in the
least. While In the air, however, the
barn came in contact with five tele-
phone wires twenty-five feet from the
ground, broke them and shut on tele.
phone communication between Fort
Collins and Cheyenne. In the same
neighborhood about a dozen haystacks
were burned. Other fires are reported
from Wellington, but all wires are
down and the total damage is not
known.

from Denver with extra passenger
coaches, passing this city about &
o'clock. There was a number of poles
down on the track and wires were re-
paired. The daily freight train turned
back from Lawson because of the Sc
verify of the blow.
The storm was very severe at
Georgetown, and for time after the
news Of the accident intense excite
ment prevailed. Considerable damage
was done to property in Georgetown
and vicinity. The roof was blown off
the Catholic church, and several houses
suffered a similar fate.
Among the passengers on the train
who received a severe shaking up. but
were not seriously injured, were c. J.
Wolff of Georgetown. county commits
|sioner; Thomas Coppard of Idaho
Springs. County Clerk A. D. Walker OF
Georgetown, j. ID. Cummings, travel
ing salesman Of Denver; l. ID. Cannon
of Denver, representing the New York
Life Insurance Company, and Rev. E.
j. Wilcox of Denver, manager of the
Waldorf mining properties. The ac-
cident occurred about 800 feet below
the Georgetown station. 1t Is a rather
singular coincidence that on February
4, 1885 an accident occurred at the ev-
act spot, which was indentical with the
one of to-day, except that in the for
mer case the engine and tender were
overturned with the cars. This is the
third time cars have been blown from
the track at nearly the same point.
The accident was caused by.a forma-
tion OF the mountains where strong
currents of wind are peculiar to this
season of the year. Ere ineer Allen had
charge of the train.
Conductor Pat O'Mara, discussing the
accident, said: 1--WE had just passed
over the sand hill that has caused so
much trouble in the past, and the wind
was so severe that the train had to be
stopped. We were standing dead still
when the train blew over. The side of
the engine was badly battered where it
had been pelted by rocks while standing
.on the track during the storm"

MENT.

In scope the study and practice of
therapeutic physical culture is limit
less. There are so many shades of
physical ailments to meet that the re-
quirements to meet them differ in
their aspect as widely as do the all
ments. The maladies of no two sub
jects being just alike, in cause and eff
feet, each case is a separate study to
obtain the desired results.
For instance, the sufferer from
weak heart action must be given that
exercise that insures the strengthen
Ing Of the action Of the heart, and
the greatest care must be taken in the
giving; and, the same exercise will not
correct q deranged stomach, in a case
of indigestion. Thus, it may be seen
to what limitless extent this study
and practice goes when the multi
tude Of human ailments that 1t reaches
are taken into account.
To meet every physical ailment that
active and passive exercise reaches is
the special and undivided study and
private institute work; and, to this
end and to perfect and broaden the
course Of therapeutic physical culture
at his institute, new scientific ap-
paratus and modern equipment is

Mr.. Douglas refused. The man VINO

refusal meant his own official destruc-

seated, Clay county voted thirteen
votes solid on the Collins side of the
issue-in favor of seating the first
delegation-and sounded the official

On the vote for nomination OF SUI
