CIoudburst Near FLORENCE. Colo.

FLORENCE, Colo, May "A cloud
burst in the Greenhorn range, eight
miles south of Florence, has caused
the Arkansas river to rise between eight
and nine feet here in less than an hour.
The unexpected rush of water caused
great damage. One bridge across the
river has gone out, and the Santa Fe
and Florence and Cripple Greek rail-
road bridges are in imminent danger.
The Santa Fee tracks are under water,
and traffic is held up. In the northern
end of the town the streets have been
transformed into rivers, and cellars
are being flooded. Business is suspend
ed. An immense amount of damage
has been done by the hail to fruit trees
and gardens in the valley.
