DAM is RISING.
CoIorado's Impending Danger-Many
Believed to Have Persisted.

FORT COLLINS, Colo, June IL
Great alarm is felt here over a re-
port from up the river that the big
dam at Chambers Lake, which has
been holding back 100000 cubic feet
of water, has gone out, and that a
wall of water five feet high is now
rushing down the Cache la Codre river.
1t is believed that all the people liV-
ing in the lowlands, and on the river
bank have escaped. but it is feared
that many fishermen may have been
caught in the flood.
All wires are down between here
and Chambers Lake and nothing def
mite can be learned of the damage
done by the dam break. The lowlands
around this place were flooded. but
from the amount of the rise in the riv-
er, it is not believed tonight that the
damage done was very serious.

Though the Wonders had all the
scores up to the first of the eighth
inning, the Pirates set their teeth in

something happen. It looked as
though they had succeeded alright in
the eighth when they ran in three
scores sending H and w. Spooncmore

Ethel Barrymore's Personality.

Ethel Barrymore's style is so abso-
lutely her own. her speech, her man
nerisms, her every movement and the
tones Of her voice, that they defy de-
scription as fully as they. do imitation.
Miss Barrymore has what few art
lists of her day passes, and which is
a picturesque aid to her art-rare
personal beauty that grows upon one
more and more-it is a beauty that
needs no adornment in the way of
dress to enhance it.
She wears few if any jewels, even
when they might appropriately APP
pear, for the absence of them adds
just so much to the exquisite girl
ishness which does not one whit di-
minish as the years go by. At the
