Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1906-07-03

the manner In which the report
started
Many businessmen were badly in
convenienced on account of the water
leaking through the roofs Of the
stores and damaging their stock The
roofs of many residences also leaked,
this being true especially Of adobes.
Poultry raisers were heavy losers.
At the Andrews dairy farm, three
hundred young chickens were killed
by the hail. This seems to be the larg-
est number lost by any one person,
but the damage in this line was ex'
tenslve.
Julian Vigil, who lives near the cap
itol went to Clenega yesterday with
his family to chrlsten their baby.
While returning in the afternoon they
were caught by the storm In Arroyo
San Antonio. The horse became fright
ened and ran away. The rig was over
turned and all the occupants were
thrown heavily upon the rocks. They
were seriously bruised and a fifteen.
year-old daughter, who received inter-
nal injuries, remained unconscious
until after reaching home.
Crops Damaged at Other Points.
Telegraphic and telephone advlces
from Ration, Wagon Mound, Las We,
gas, Cerrillos, Bernalillo, Belen, Al
buquerque and Socorro state that yes
terday evenings storm was general.
There is damage reported to crops,
but otherwise nothing serious has
happened. Despite this the great fall
of rain will prove OF great good
throughout northern and central New
Mexico.
Change Channel Of Arroyo.
The large arroyo which runs around
the extreme northwestern portion OF
the city, completely changed Its chan
mel, breaking out at point above the
tracks of the Denver and Rio Grande.
Instead of passing under the com.
pany's tracks at the usual place, the
water ran to higher ground, rushing
across the tracks, At this place the
road for probably 100 feet Is covered
with sand and debris to a depth Of
from six to eight inches. The diver
sion of this natural water course also
tore out the water pipes connecting
with the properties Of Jacob Weltmer
and Mrs. r. W. Weintge on Upper
Grand Avenue. The Denver and Rio
Grande bridge was lifted slightly out
of position.
Miguel Abeyta, supervisor Of roads
in Precinct No. 2, was in the city
this morning for the purpose OF Sc
curing force of men to work the
roads in his district. The roads un.
der his supervision were rendered
practically impossible by the flood Of
yesterday. He reports that large
tree on his ranch was entirely demol-
ished by lightning. The cutters were
torn from many of the houses in his
neighborhood and much damage was
done to growing crops.
The total precipitation yesterday
was 2.12 inches, of which 2.02 inches
fell during one hour while the storm
was at Its worst.
Show Company Suffered.
The Jesse James Theatrical Com
pany was unable to present their pro.
duction last night on account Of the
storm, which rendered the tent and
scenery unfit for use, Tonight, how
ever they will present pleasing mefo-
drama, Down on the Farm" which Is
practically the same attraction that
made such a hit in the east several
years ago. The company intends to
remain in the city during the remain
der of the week and will give show
each evening. Jesse James will be
the attraction Saturday night.
