AT TRINIDAD.
Flood Conditions Are Nearly as Bad
as They Were Last Fail.

Trinidad, Colo. April 2s-Melting
snow has caused the Las. Animas river
to become a torrent, resulting in con-
siderable damage to new Santa Fe ill
here, which is in danger o. being wash
ed away. Three hundred men are r'p-
rapping the bank with ties spiked to
railroad rails and train loads Oe rock
are being dumped along the hank di-
rectly in front of the Cardenas hotel
and the new depot in course of cOnstruc-
ton. The Rio Grande has a train of
loaded cars standing on its bridge to
prevent it from going out. The tenn
pOrary wagon bridge connecting North
and South Trinidad went out last night.
The business section of Trinidad is still
cut off from its water supply ana con-
ditiOns are alarming. The Colorado and
Southern passenger train from Fort
Worth was stuck in a snow drift four
hours at Emery Gap and was finally
dug out by relief crews from Trinidad
and Texas line. The river is still rising
and all families have moved from the
bottoms to the hillsides. Should weather
continue warm a high flood is expected.
Santa Fe Trains Blocked at Gallup.
Gallup. n. NJ. April 26.-The flood Sit
uation on the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad is practically IN
changed and it is regarded as very
doubtful if any through trains can be
moved before tomorrow. If the present
rain continues conditions will constant
ly grow worse. The switch yard at
Gallup was filed to it's capacity early
last night and orders were sent to Wins
low, west of here, to send no more
trains farther east until the congestion
here can be relieved.
There are now five trains from the
coast laid up here. All westbound
trains are being held at Albuquerque
including the California limited No. 3
which left Albuquerque at. 9 last night
and arrived here this evening pro-
ceding westward.
The scene of the most serious
trouble has shifted from between Blue
Water and Grants, where an extensive
WashOut in the track was repaired to-
day to Horace, eight miles east of
Grants. Bridge No. 80 over the Rio
San Jose, just at the west switch at
Horace, is in very dangerous condi-
ton and may go out at any moment
The snow is very deep in the noun
tains and all streams are running
bank full in some places overlooking
the lowlands. The last train to get
through was the California limited
which left Los Angeles Saturday even
ing
Late last night it was reported that
long stretch of track near Alaska,
just east of Horace. is under water
and that Is telegraph poles are down
50 miles west of Gallup. Another
washOut is reported at Perco, "a miles
west of Albuquerque.

Young R,oSctus.

One of the strangest figures of the
British stage was Young Roscius. His
other name was William Henry West
Betty. He lived until Aug. "a, 1874, al
though he had made his last stage ap-
pearance on Aug. 8, 1924, at the age Of
thirty-two. Theatrical history has no
parallel to his childhood. 1t was this
little Irish boy who after seeing Mrs.
Siddons had declared that he must die
if he did not become an actor. He took
Belfast by storm in 1903, when not
quite twelve, and nearly stified scores
of Londoners ON Dec. I, 1904. Foot
guards and officers were overpowered
by the crowd, and gentlemen charged
through the boxes and. jumped by
twenties into the pit for places.
Master Betty brought $4,000 to Drury
Lane in twenty eight nights. William
Pitt adjourned the house of commons
to let members see him as Hamlet and
his boom lasted until 1908. His adult
return to the stage was brief and
failure.

Her Struggled Necklace.

Women who are the soul of rectitu6e
in all other things will not hesitate to
evade the law when it comes to snug
CLING. For some reason or other they
do not consider smuggling dishonest,
but rather as an exciting sort of game
to play. Every woman who goes to
Europe spends hours of her preparation
to return in devising means of bringing
things in without paying duty.
Men are much more honest about the
things they bring in and not long ago
/ heard of q case in which q man hui
mored this smuggling tendency in his
daughter, but took good care that she
should not be discovered evading the
law.
His daughter had purchased valua-
BILE diamond necklace in London and
announced her determination to bring
it in without paying one penny of duty.
There was no reason i'll the world why
she should have chosen to do this, as
her father was a very rich man and
could have paid the duty without not
ing it's absence from his bank account.
But she wanted the excitement, and
her father agreed to let her have her
own way. She brought the necklace in
in small bag, which her father asked
her to let him hold for a moment or
two, and it was not for nearly a year
that she found out her father had de-
clared the ornament and paid the duty
on il. At any rate, she had had her
