The Business Mems Association, fra

urday raised money, food and clothing
for the distressed and found new
homes for the people washed out Fri
day night
Florence was thrown into state Of
intense excitement Sa .urday night by a
report which emanated from one of the
towns up the valley that wall Of
water sixteen feet deep and fifty feet
wide was rushing down the Arkansas
river and that If 1t reached here the
larger part of the lower end of the
city would be inundated.
On account of the report several
hundred people assembled on the
banks of the river, carriages were
driven to the residences in the lower
bottoms and preparations were made
to move the people out, but the report
terminated in myth and the excite
ment was subdued.
The river rose only about six inches.
Reports OF damage entailed by the
flood reached Florence in more detail
Saturday. The Chandler branch OF the
Rio Grande was washed out and dam
aged its full length and several bridges
were carried away. On account of this.
the Chandler coal mine and the Ere
mont mine will be idle for ten days.
The new double track of the Denver
& Rio Grande between Florence and
Canon City was damaged extensively.
The rOadbed being new and soft made
it easy for the flood waters to wash II
out to depth of eight and nine feet
MI n n
drop to the bottom of the freshly made
pits.
This road will be abandoned for
about thirty days and meantime trains
will use the old track, maintaining the
former slow time schedule.
The Rockville branch of the Santa Fe
railroad was washed out in one place
fer 1000 feet and In ether places from
100 to 500 feet. All the bridges were
carried out. The Rockville and indie
pendence mines, depending upon this
railroad, will be Idle for probably a
month. More than 1000 feet of track
of the Florence & Cripple Creek rail-
road was washed off the roadbed by
the flood and carried against house
occupied by Swan Broberg, which
saved the building from being torn Off
its foundation.
