whose name we do not know, a boy of
about four years of age. His daugh
ter, Ada, Mrs. Turner, was mentioned
above.
Mr. Turner's body was recovered on
Satu day about o'clock in the even
ing, and Mr.. Dowells about o'clock
of the same day. The remains were
taken to Pagosa, and pulled across
the San Juan river by means of a
cable. Funeral services were held on
Sunday. Both men were highly re-
spected. Mr.. Dowell had been a resi-
dent of the county for many years,
and was one of the influential citi-
zcns. He had served as mayor of the
town for two terms, and had served
on the school board for several years.
He was a member of the town coun-
ell at the time of his death.
Mr.. Turner had not been in the
community long, but had proved to
be young man of integrity. He was
preparing for the ministry and one
week previous to the day he was bur
led, he had preached in the church at
the Springs. Those who heard it said
it was a fine sermon.
In Pagosa Springs the loss was
terrible. The high water reached the
town about 10 o'clock on the morn.
ing of Oct. 5, warning having been
received about daylight. Those ia
miliar with the town will remember
that large part of Pagosa is along
the river bank which runs through
the park, and it is in the park district
that the heavy damage was done.
Two houses in the park, on Pagosa
street, on occupied by Mr.. Goodman
and family, and owned by G. S. Hatch
er, and the James Webber house, were
washed away, but most of the furni-
ture was taken out safely.
The home of Frank Everett on Her
mosa street was swept away with all
the furniture in it. Mr.. Silva's house
/ near ny HlliIth bhc ndHit ldbc. Jii
Martinez and Leno Lucero, who lived
on the opposite side of the street,
moved their furniture into the Silva
house, thinking it would be safer there
so that the Silva residence went down
stream with the property Of three
householders inside.
On the other side of the street,
Mr. Charlesworth, an old soldier, liv-
ing on his pension, lost everything,
house and all his furniture. Another
house adjoining was also carried down
stream.
A residence occupied by James No
Ian, belonging to R. p. Furrow and
son, was dislodged and carried down
the road for some feet. The furniture
was badly damaged by water. Judge
Caldwell's house was picked up by
the water and transported for fully
800 yards and very badly knocked
about. The Ross Archuleta house was
moved from it's foundations and car.

HOLD CITY
Italians Defeat Turks
In First Land Battle
And Hold City

LONDON, Oct. 1l.-Bennett Bur
leigh wires his paper, the Telegraph,
the following account from Tripoli of
the engagement there yesterday be-
tween the Turks and Italians:
"The Italians have wone their first
land action finely. Friends had given
warning that the Turks would prob
ably attack and try to enter Tripoli
and during the night, ample precau-
tions were taken to reinforce all posts
The enemy was discovered at a. m.
advancing in two columns supported
by field guns. Fortunately the bright
moonlight and the fleet judiciously
assisted by watching with searchlights
all night. The Turks approached IN
good order to the number of several
thousand supported by native auxil-
iaries until when within few hun
dred yards, the marines from the
works and trenches opened tremen-
dous rifle fire on the enemy and were
supported by machine guns and tho
field artillery. The intended Turkish
surprise entirely failed but the Otto
mans stood to their attack courage
ously and replied with heavy fire,
striving to press home an action at
first on the west. The Italian marines
however, were mistaken and undaunt-
edly fought most brilliantly, firing
with steady and deadly accuracy. They
beat back every attempt of the enemy
standing as rock tossing aside the
wild sea and the Turks were complete
| ly defeated"

COUNCIL MEETING.

Pursuant to adjournment Oct. 3,
city council convened at the city hall
Tuesday evening. Present-Mayor
Hood, and Aldermen Wertin, Logan,
Hanno, Wingate, Owen, Jarvis and
O'Driscoll Mayor Hood presided.
The mayor stated he had desired
the adjourned session in order to give
the tax levy final consideration but
as the first consideration had been
postponed the meeting was opened for
other business.
Rowe Pingrey addressed the coun-
ell relative to the maintenance of the
box flume that carries the Pingrey
irrigation ditch under the Junction
creek bridge. He stated the ditch has
right prior to Main avenue and past
councils had kept the flume in repair
for the right to pass over it, he ex-
pected this board to take the same
measures The clerk was requested
to refer to the minutes of previous
councils to determine their action with
regard to this and report at the next
meeting.
Chairman Logan of the water com
mittee, who in company with Alder
man O'Driscoll and Water Superin-
tendent Redman carefully investigat-
ed pipe line conditions, reported that
portion of the right of way in Mel
sons field had been washed away. Mr..
Nelson offered to grant right OF
way in different and better place
for the consideration of the privilege
of tapping the line for domestic pur-
poses. He further offered to con-
struct break water which will be an
equal protection to the pipe line and
his ranch if the city would bear half
the expense. Or if the city would
do the work he would share half the
expense. Upon motion of Alderman
Logan the attorney was instructed to
prepare two separate contracts with
Mr.. Nelson, one for right of way for
the consideration of the use of water
for domestic purposes. The pipe line
tap is to be one-half inch. The other
for the construction of break wa
ter.
Alderman Logan stated that Harry
Jackson offered 2 cents per pound Tor
old rods and junk in the pump house
that is not of value to the city. Upon
his motion the committee was au-
thorized to make the sale.
An effort is to be made to dispose
of the pumps and boilers in the pump
house, the clerk is to attempt by cor
respondence to find purchaser.
Alderman Logan suggested now
while the water is out, would be an
excellent opportunity to place a valve
in the bipass to prevent muddy wa
ter flowing into the city mains, the
valve to be so placed that in times OF
heavy rains the water could be turn
ed into the upper reservoir to settle
No action was taken.

Wertin that the men doing concrete
and pit work on the Junction creek
bridge received the favorable consid-

FLOOOD NEWS.

Now that the floods have subsidized
the farmers who saved some of their
crops are inquiring about the best
road to take in order to get them to
market. The question of which Is the
best road, Of course, depends on the
location of the bridges that were
washed out, and those that can still
be crossed and as near as The Herald
can learn they are ms follows:
Animas Bridges
There are three bridges across the
Animas river still in use. The stono
bridge and the one near Graden'c
mill in the city and the one oppo-
site Trimble Springs on the upper
Animas, and by tomorrow it is ex-
pected there will be two more ready
for use. Mr.. Vandegrift has force
of men laying planks on the railroad
bridge leading to the old smelter and
another force is at work repairing the
Carbon bridge, four miles south Of
town. These bridges will be ready for
use tomorrow.
The bridges washed out on the AMI
mas are: The Wallace bridge, three
miles above Trimble Springs; the Ami
mas City bridge; the one near juno
ton creek; DR.. Ochsner's foot bridge;
the one below the smelter; the bridge
at Bondad, and the one at CASTELAR,.
Florida Bridges
On the Upper Florida the Wakeman
and Baisden were washed out. The
east end of the bridge at Horse gulch
was washed out, but it will soon be
repaired and the same is true of the
Roberts and the Lissener bridges. All
the other bridges on the Florida are
gone.
Pine River Bridges
The Bayfield, bridge, the Middle
bridge, four miles above Bayfield,, and
the government bridge at Ignacio are
still in, and all the other bridges on
Pine river are gone out.
La Plata Bridges
As near as can be learned there Ia
as yet no bridge fit for use across
the La Plata river, although the
bridge at Hesperus will be repaired
and ready for use by tomorrow. The
bridge at Hay gulch and the one at
Fort Lewis are washed out. No one
seems to know anything about the
steel bridge below.
The county commissioners adjourn
ed and went home last Sunday, and
the steps they are taking to repair
or rebuild the bridges cannot be learn
ed. County Clerk Conroy says there
is still about 10000 in the road fund,
and as no bond issue could be voted
on until the next general election, the
bridges will have to be patched up in
some way with that small amount Of
money. County Surveyor Roy Good
man says 1t will take at least $50, 900
to put the county roads and bridges
in as good shape as they were in BE-
fore the flood. Whenever the money
is available he thinks that Il Il best
= to build wire suspension bridges like
J those at Aztec and Pennington, n
they are comparatively cheap and can
J not be washed out.

residence was practically ruined, the
furniture being about destroyed, and
all of the outbuildings carried away.
The Pagosa Springs water plant
was taken out: the town and county
hospital was washed away; the town
Jail was utterly destroyed; and the
Moore Light and Power plant, which
furnished the town with electric light
was wiped out of existence, nothing
being left but the water wheel.
Farther down the stream the Har-
land place occupied by Mr.. Hardman
was washed away, the family losing
everything they had.
On the day after the flood, the riv-
err changed its course and washed out
the foundation of the house owned
by DR.. Nossaman, located about one
mile above town, and carried the house
away before there was time to save
any of the furniture from the upper
story. The water cut through num-
Der of the ranches along its course,
WbIhth dDlt
which it is impossible to estimate at
present.
The loss in Pagosa Springs alone
is figured as far exceeding $4,000,
while adding the adjacent territory,
will bring the total up to as much
again. The damage to the Galbreath
mill at Juanita is said to be over
$5 900.
The d. & R. G. track between Pa
gosa Springs and the Junction is SO
badly cut up that it will take big
crew of men three or four weeks to
get it in shape for travel.
1t is rumored at Pagosa that the
sawmill at Edith was washed under
meath by the Navajo river and tipped
clear over into the stream.
The Blanco log camp on the Blanco
river was washed out. A barn belong
ing to r. J Chambers containing fifty
tons of hay was also washed away,
and another barn belonging to Mr..
Chambers was tipped over.
All of the bridges on the San Juan
are out. On McCabe creek, W. II.
Norton's house was wrecked, but most
of his furniture was saved. Minor
losses are innumerable.
But though the losses in the town
and country tributary to Pagosa are
50 great, the people are not discour-
aged. Their losses both as a city and
as private individuals are enormous,
but they have already begun to plan
to retrieve and replace and build again
what the waters of the flood have torn
down and destroyed. The whole town
turned out to help the flood sufferers
and none of the homeless suffered for
want of food or shelter.
