KILLED BY A C"LOUDBURST

A cloudburst Sunday afternoon
in Woodfords canyon resulted in
the death of one of the most
popular young ladies of Carson Val
ley, the loss of a valuable team and
the destruction of a number of
bridges.
From the details that car be
learned of the sad affair it appears
that James Brockliss, his wife and
two children and his sister-in-law,
Miss Nevada Parks, have been camp
ing in Hope valley. They packed
up Sunday as a shower the day be-
fore had practically ruined the
fishing and made things uncomfor-
table. Before they were out of the
valley it began raining. BY the
time they had entered the steep
canyon the creek had swollen to an
alarming extent. At the point
known as Cloudburst canyon which
is above the old single mill Mr..
Brockliss became alarmed as the
water had reached the hubs of his
wagon. He stopped at this place
and took his family out of the
wagon and wished to assist Miss
Parks from the rig. She insisted
on remaining and managing the
horses. AS Mr.. Brockliss returned
to aid her and insist on her leaving
the wagon an avelanch of rocks and
boulders came down the side of the
mountain. This caught the rig
and horses and before it was
realized the whole outfit was car
ried into the river. Mr.. Brockliss
was unable to render any assistance.
The struggling horses attached to
the rapidly whirling vehicle added
to the situation. In a very brief
time the entire outfit had disap-
peared down the rugged and boulder
lined creek. Large boulders were
carried along while trees were up
rooted and helped demolish the
wagon. 1t is believed that when
the avalanch of boulders carried
the rig into the creekway that Miss
Parks was instantly killed. Thous-
ands of tons of rock and debris was
piled into the river making such a
seething mass that it was impossible
for anything that had life to survive.
AS soon as possible Mr.. Brockliss
hurried to Woodfords where as.
sistance was sought. A searching
party Immediately set out to recover
the body of the dead girl. 1t was
found late in the afternoon wedged
between two large boulders. A
gloved hand above the water was
the only portion of the body ex-
posed. This strange Identification
warning was the only shred of
wearing apparel that was left on the
entire body. The body was broken
and bruised beyond recognition.
Upon recovery Of the remains they
were taken to Woodfords where
George Kitzmeyer of this city was
called to place the remains in such
condition that they could be taken
to the home ranch.
A search was made later for the
horses but they had not been found
at last reports. The wagon was de-
molished. The canyon is one of
the most treacherous in Nevada.
Yearly cloudbursts visit and wash
out roads and do other damage.
This Is, however, the first death in
the canyon from such cause. 4.
At yesterdays storm two bridges
were swept out and considerable
damage done to ranch property
further down the valley.-Carson

We have been asked why We have
stated that the banks would gain new
business il Roswell should do away
with saloons. The answer is easy. If
the saloons now in Roswell should
be compelled to quit business during
the course of the mex six months, 1t
would mean that thousands OF dol
lars, which are now SEN out of Ros-
well every month to swell the bank
account of some brewer or distiller,
would be spent right here in Roswell
with our merchants or placed in the
nome banks to some local account.
You cannot get away from it. Every
dollar spent away from Roswell is a
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1910-02-05

dollar lost to the community. and ev-
cry dollar kept at home is a dollar
gained. 1t may be that you will not
get this dollar at once, but it is alb
solutely certain that you will get some
of it before many months have pass
ed. The easiest way to kill business
n any community is to have the cit
liens of that community do their
trading and buying elsewhere or to
put their earnings in investments In
other localities. A community to con-
tinue to prosper must produce n
receive pay for more h 1t pur-
chases elsewhere. In other words the
most prosperous people are those who
have the largest balance of trade.
The purchase Of liquors by Roswell
people adds nothing to he local bus
mess, it produces nothing, but on the
contrary drains the community of ma
ny thousand dollars every month.

An Old Legend That Tells of the ORR
gin of the Art.

An Old Legend That Tells of the ORR
gin of the Art.
Lacemaking is by no means so old
an industry as most persons suppose.
There is no proof that it existed pre-
vious to the fifteenth century. and the
Oldest known painting in which it ap-
pears is a portrait of q lady in the
academy at Venice painted by Caspac-
clio. who died about 1923. The legend
concerning the origin Of the art is as
follows:
A young fisherman OF the Adriatic
was betrothed to young and beauti-
full girl Of one of the isles of the la
COON. Industrious as she was beauti-
full. the girl made a new net for her
lover. who took it with him on board
his boat The first time he cast it into
the sea be dragged therefrom an exqui-
site petrifed wrack grass. which he
FASTENED to present to his fiancee; but,
war breaking out. the fisherman was
pressed into the service of the vene-
ton navy. The poor girl wept at the
departure of her lover and contem-
plated his last gift to her. While abb
sorbed in following the intricate ira
Gerry OF the wrack grass she began to
twist and plait the threads weighted
with small beads which hung around
her net. Little by little she wrought
an imitation of the petriflcation. and
thus was created the bobbin lace
