Raging Wall Of Water Engulfs
Folsom, N. M.-Hundreds OF
Houses Swept Away.
TW[NTY-THRtt LIVES ARE LOST
Desolation and Waste Now Marks
Scene Where Stood Thriving
Mining Town.

Trinidad, Colo, Aug. 80. - Twenty
| three persons are known to be dead
and scores are missing as the result OF
a cloudburst which sent raging wall
OF water eight feet deep over Folsom
N. M, mining camp of $500 people
situated at the foot of Mount Capulin
forty miles south of the Colorado
New Mexico line.
1t is impossible to estimate accu
rately the total loss of life, which
may reach thirty-five or forty before
morning, Already nineteen bodies
have been found buried under the silt
The hotel, in which five travelling
men were stopping, was washed away
and they were drowned. The proprie'
tor, George Wenger. also is drowned
and his body hos not been recovered.
Completely Blotted Out.
The town is completely blotted out
of existence. Hundreds of houses
were carried away, and where stood a
thriving mining camp now only re-
mains desolation and waste. Hun
dreds of citizens are out of homes,
food and clothes, and relief Is being
rushed from New Mexico and South
ern Colorado. The railroad tracks are
washed out for three miles and trains
are only going within eight miles of
the stricken camp.
The cloudburst occurred at 10
o'clock last night and those citizens
who were awake on the streets es-
capped, while those who had retired
were mostly caught asleep without
warning.
Rushes Into Creek.
The water rushed into Cimmarron
creek and spread, sweeping a clean
path through the center of the town.
The Cimmarron creek, which carried
the flood is ordinarily small trick
ling stream. Its capacity was INSULT
Gent to hold the rush of water.
There were many marvlous es-
capes and forty people were rescued
after the flood had passed the camp.
Last night bodies were being found
as far as fifteen miles away, and loco
motive headlights, loaned by the Santa
Fe railroad, are being used in the
search
The wires were down for ten hours
following the food, and a Southern
Pacific train was marooned with 1.5
passengers and no food. 1t was reach
ed late in the afternoon and brought
to Trinidad
Ration, N. NJ, also suffered severe
loss. Many homes were washed away
and several hundreds Mexicans spent
the greater part Of the night in a
church.

SHOOTING SHOOTING REVEALS SCANDAL
Atlantic City Police Have Husband Of
Victims Companion Under
Suspicion.

Atlantic City, N. j., Aug. so. - The
question of whether it was thief OF
an assassin who shot Charles B. Rob
erts on the board walk Wednesday
night, making the case in the first In
stance a crime of the lower and sor
did order, or in the assumption of S
mystery involving the highest social
life of Baltimore has not yet been an
swered.
Mrs. w. S. G. Williams, the hand
some leader of the hunting and dane
ing set in Baltimore, who was riding
in the roller chair with Mr.. Roberts
when it was halted and her compan'
ion shot, says the attempt upon Mr.
Roberts life was made by a masked
man who demanded money.
Mr.. Roberts, from his cot in the city
hospital, has issued a statement in
which he says masked highwayman
who demanded money shot him when
he sprang to attack the robber.
Reject Robbery Theory.
John Jackson, the negro who was
pushing the chair, has made contra
dictory statements. He was bewilder.
ed by fright. He agrees that masked
man stepped from the shadow of a
building and fred at least two shots
at either one or both of the occupants
of the chair.
The police absolutely refuse to &C.
cept the theory that the shooting was
done by highwayman. They point to
the fact that there was no robbery and
seemingly no attempt on the part of
the masked man to take advantage OF
the situation and at least escape with
Mrs. Williams purse
Mrs. Williams had planned to leave
Atlantic City this afternoon and Join
her husband in Baltimore. She re-
ceived word that if she attempted to
leave the city she would be arrested
and detained as a witness.
Husband Under Suspicion.
Mrs. Roberts arrived from New
York yesterday and has taken room
at the hospital. Her husband is i'm.
proving and it is not believed his
wounds will result fatally.
The police will not accept the theo
ry, strongly advanced, that the shoot
ing Of Mr.. Roberts was the work of q
holdup man. They have announced
that Mr.. Williams is under suspicion
and that he will not be eliminated
from the case until he has proved con
cluslvely and to their satisfaction that
ne was not here Wednesday night and
that he was entirely ignorant of the
attempt upon Mr.. Roberts life and
the circumstances which led up to it
The absolute disappearance OF the
man who fred the shot is battling
part OF the mystery. The theory is
that he escaped in a waiting automo
bile.
