THREATENS PUEBLO.

Denver. Aug. 18.-Fully q thousand
tourists, large majority from the
east, were tied up today in Denver
and Rio Grande passenger trains at
Pueblo, Salida and Grand Junction as
the result of floods in the Arkansas
river following cloudbursts In the
mountains yesterday. Not only were
the tracks washed out, but landslides
blocked the tracks along the Arkansas
river and 1t was probable it would be
some time tomorrow before traffic
could be resumed.
Pueblo Was Threatened.
Pueblo, Aug. 1s.-This city was
reused at 3 O'Clock this morning by
warnings given from the Upper Ar
kansas valley that there was grave
danger Of a flood. Within an hour
5000 persons were upon the streets
working like beavers to remove stocks
of merchandise and household effects
out of danger The work proved
needless in most cases, as, although
the river rose seves feet above nor
NAL, there was no food in the immedi-
ate vicinity Of the city.
Great damage was reported, how
ever, in the neighborhood of Canon
City, forty miles from here, where the
Arkansas overflowed It's banks. In the
Royal gorge the river is reported to
have risen twenty feet, washing out
several miles of track on the Denver
and Rio Grande railway and causing
other damage. Telegraph communica-
tion through the gorge and with the
upper valley is cut Off The Arkansas
river divides Pueblos business dis
trict and a little higher rise would
have flooded this entire district.
