tains near here Saturday raised the
Arkansas river to high stage last

The wires carrying electricity for
lighting the streets at Canon City, as

Creek and Victor, were disabled by
the storm. the north approach to the
Santa Fe railroad bridge was swept
away by the current and over fifty
feet OF track precipitated into the
river.
100 head of sheep was caught by the
storm while entering the Royal Gorge.

the hanging bridge and found itself
unable to retreat on account of the
