WASHOUT AT HOWARD
STOPPED ALL TRAINS
of Railroad


One of the most annoying delays
that has occurred to traffic on the
Pueblo division of the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad for several months
was caused by a cloud-burst in the
mountains near Howard Tuesday af-
ternoon, in consequence of which
about a hundred feet of track was
washed out and the foundation of a
bridge az that place weakened to such
an extent as to render the crossing of
trains a hazardous undertaking.
1t is reported to have been the
heaviest downpour of rain ever ex-
perienced in the western part of the
county and in half an hour after it
began all the streams in the vicin-
ity were raging torrents. The river
rose several feet in the neighborhood
of Howard and all the low lands were
inundated.
Train No. s. which left here at
o'clock passed the scene of the cloud
burst before the storm came and was
able to continue on its way to Lead
vile. No. /, however, and all success
i've trains from the east for twelve
hours were compelled to wait here
until the damage was repaired. The
track was not opened for travel until
o'clock this morning and nearly a
thousand west bound passengers were
compelled to remain here during the
night. The Strathmore and ST Cloud
hotels were crowded to the utmost
with guests from the delayed trains,
and the streets were thronged with
strangers until late hour at night
AS soon as it was known that the
washout had taken place construction
trains were hurried to the scene from
both Pueblo and Salida and the work
of rebuilding the roadbed began from
both ends and was carried on without
interruption until the track was ready
for traffic.
The water is said to have came down
the sides OF the mountain in sheets
and to have swept everything before
it. In many places the railroad track
was torn apart and carried away by
the water in sections. 1t is reported
that the Colorado Midland road suf-
fered even more severely than the
Rio Grande from the cloudburst-
