DEATH LIST At FOLSOM
WILL REACH THIRTY
Residents In Dire Need of Help.
Buildings on High Ground Are
Veritdble MOrgueS Wake of
Flood,Strewn With
Dead Animals.

Trinidad, Colo, Aug. 29.-(Spe-
ciaD sticking to her post of duty
until every avenue of escape was cut
off, Mrs. ). j. Rookie, the telephone
operator who lost her life In the Fol-
som flood, died heroine but saved
the lives of many friends and neigh
oors who might have been swept
away with their homes had she not
telephoned them OF ihe coming flooi.
That Mrs. Rookie saved the lives OF
many people at tive cost of her own
became known yesterday when 1t wa3
learned that large number of people
who escaped to safe places were
warned of their danger by the heroic
woman. From the number of people
who had telephone calls from Mrs.
Rookie, 1t is quite evident that the
faithful operator, after learning of
the coming waters, sent the cry of
alarm to every house in the lowlands
having a telephone, and also to some
of the residents of the higher part or
town.
Just when Mrs. Rockies house, in
which was located the telephone Of
flee, was carried away bv the waters,
IS not known. After thu first terrible
falling houses could be heard and the
cry of drowning people could be
heard coming over the waters. Lights
were seen bobbing. flickering appear
ing and disappearing, going down
with the current, as the houses were
carried away, With the half dressed
owners clinging to doors and VIM
dows. Terrible are the stories told
this morning oven the Colorado &
Southern railway.
1t is believed that the death list
will reach thirty. Half of the town
was swept away, AMI there was an
enormous loss of livestock. The dis
aster which swept down upon the
little town rivals the worst floods In
the history of the country. A mile
below the town the river enters a
marrow canyon The buildings which
were strong enough to float without
breaking up, were jammed into this
canyon and crushed like pasteboar 1.
Carcasses of dead cows and horses are
to be seen everywhere among the
wreckage and hanging in the tree
tops. Only the most substantial
buildings of the higher part of the
town remain standing.
The work of recovering the dead
has been pursued by the people who
escaped.
The few houses standing on the
highlands are morgues, and more
dead were being recovered late last
night Assistance is needed. Many
people who escaped live to find tha'
they are homeless and a few lost al
they had. The weather is bright and
warm, but the suffering nevertheless
IS great.

from the border deep into the terri

chase through a very rough and dry
country, so eager were they to escape
detection. The Russian is believ I'd
to be hiding in the hills just outside

Atlantic City. Aug. 29.-Charles b.
Roberts. who was mysterlously shot
on the Board Walk Wednesday night.
Is still alive but very> weak. The bullet
penetrated the liver and 1t is feared
that it will prove fatal. Roberts has
made no statement.
The police are nrm in the belief
that solution of the shooting will
follow an investigation of the move
ments of w. S. G.. Williams of Long
Green on the day of the shooting.
The allegations of Mrs. williams that
her husband was In the sanitarium
undergoing treatment at the time of
the shooting are not believed. Mrs.
Williams was with Roberts in a roll
ing chair at the time he was shot
The police have entirely abandoned
the theory that Roberts was shot by
highwayman. The chief of police
says that Mrs. Williams admitted to
him that she was not happy with her
husband and declared that she had
put him in the sanitarium three
times. She says that he left the sani-
tarium on Tuesday and went to Bal
timore.
According to Mrs. Williams, VIII
liams called her up over the tele-
phone at Brighton and asked her to
come home, but she informed him
that she would rather remain until
Saturday. During the telephone con-
versation Williams became aware that
Roberts was at Brighton.
All interest now points to Williams
and his whereabouts. The police in
dicate by their mysterious movements
that Williams may be yet Identified
with the crime and jealousy may
have been the cause of the shooting.
