Santa Fe Heaviest Sufferer From
High Water.

Albuquerque, N. M. June pa
cloudburst at 5 o'clock last evening
northwest of this city devastated an
area approximately five square miles
in extent. The main line of the Santa
Fe railroad was perhaps the worst
sufferer from the flood, it's racks be-
ing washed out at intervals of sew
eral hundred yards for a mile or
more, tying up indefinitely all train
service both east and west.
While no lives are known to nave
been lost, several n houses were
washed away, h occupants having
miraculous escapes from drowning.
Crops in the flooded area were total
ly destroyed and the loss of sheep
and cattle will be heavy.

Loewe n others, have formed a cir
cult of theaters embracing thirty cities
in the east and middle west and will
send over a number of companies
which will play at 10, 20 and 80 cents,
and others which will demand the reg
ular prices of $1.50 and 50.
The theory is hat if they can draw
audiences to their houses for part of
the week at the lower prices they will
get them into the habit of going to
see the more expensive productions as
we'll. The cheap shows will not be
the old fashioned meIodrama type, it
is said, but will be truly intelligent
presentations of commendable works,
including standard pieces, and also
many new plays"

goals must not be less Than $50 yards

ject is for the tour men on ponies to
drive the ball, placed in the
center of the field to a goal while the
opposing side also mounted try to drive
the a to the opposite goal. The ball
is a five ounce willow sphere. To drive
it, a sort of a mallet, with a Az foot
handle and head 2hx1h inches is used.
Jay Gould and George Gould are
among the prominent Americans who
play the game.
