COLORADO'S PAUL REVERE
STOPS IN INDIANAPOLIS
L. L. Loeb Rode Miles to Warn
People of Manitou of Cloud
burst-Saved Many Lives.

On his way from Memphis. Tenn, to
his home in Chicago. l.. l.. Loeb, who,
since his wild ride from Green Mountain
Springs to Manitou with great wave of
water close behind him, has been known
as the Paul Revere of Colorado stopped
over in Indianapolis last night
Mr.. Loeb, by his heroic ride on Aug. 5,
1902, the date OF the terrible cloudburst in
Colorado. is credited with saving the lives
of two thousand citizens of Manitou, but
he says he received not a single expression
OF thanks from the people. Some of them,
he said, cursed him because he had not
saved their furniture with their lives.
Although cripple, with one arm para
lyzed and one leg almost useless, Loeb Is
a crack horseback rider. For several years
previous TO his narrowing experience he
was a cow puncher. on the evening of Feb.
., 1902 he says, he was lin Green Mountain
heard a terrible crash as though the earth
had been blown up. Looking behind him,
he beheld a rushing wall of water and
knew that there had been cloudburst.
He at once thought of the people of Mani
tou. dug his spurs into his horse and rode
like mad. Midway between Green Noun
tain Springs and Manitou his horse slipped
and both rider and animal fell over high
cliff. Loeb considers il a miracle that
he was not killed The horse lighted on its
feet in four feet of water and neither horse
nor rider was hurt Loeb continued his
wild ride and reached Manitou before the
surging wave. He warned the people, and
water submerged their homes.
Loeb has been in Memphis undergoing an
operation for spinal trouble. He is stop

victon, but that is my fering in the matter
now"
Other majority membees of the board of
directors have eXpressecs themselves as of
the same opinion. A meeting of the board
has been called for next Tuesday night,
and it is expected that firm stand for
this solution of the question will be made
by the majority members at that time. It
is possible that the minority members may
attempt to have steps tal.en for the sale Of
the company's property I that time. This,
it is known, will be Wig, ously opposed by

one of these rumors wassto the effect that
il would be purchased Immediately by the

was in the minds OF the incOrporators that

! SOulhernsr Writes Of Polly Primrose.

The announcement that Adelaide
Ihurston is to appear here in
her new play, Polly Primrose, "
Thursday, Nov. 8, has had a stir
ring effect on theatre goers and
the little fayorite will no doubt
be greeted by her usual big au-
dience. A letter from New Or
leans, written by an enthusiastic
lady admirer Of Miss Thurston to
a friend up north, is interesting
to quote: = Pretty Adelaide
Thurston has come and gone,
leaving behind her stream of
sweet recollections that linger in
the memory like the faint and ex-
quisite music of a dream. This is
the only way can describe the
impression this enchanting little
actress made upon all of us who
saw her. Her play is Southern,
and when Polly made her APP
pearance in one Of the acts hold
ing a quaint little fan that once
belonged to Dolly Madison, we
forgot for the time being that
there is aught in this big old
world but sunshine and bright
flowers. The little old piano she
carries with her and which holds
an important place in the play,
brought back to mother, who sat
in our box, many tender memoir
les, she said, for it belonged to
that period which ante-dated the
war, and which was the golden pc
Rod of the South. Miss Thurston
is supported by a brilliant group
of artists and if you have an OPP
portunity of seeing Polly Prim-
rose don't miss it. We were all
charmed y
