Two Bandits Are Captured.

Craig.-Dynamite was used in the
capture of two notorious outlaws who
have terrorized three counties in Colo
RADIO and Wyoming for more than q
week, and have stolen scores of horses
belonging to ranchers. Wounded al.
most to death. the men held out for
seven hours In mountain cabin, forty
miles northeast Of here, and defied a
posse Of forty men, led by three sher.
IFS. until they were told that unless
they surrendered they would be blown
TO atoms by dynamite, which had been
smuggled under the foundation OF the
building. The outlaws were within
striking distance of timber, and when
they saw the fuse Of the dynamite
sticks they made dash for the trees
and liberty, but were intercepted by
members of the posse.

Denver.-Two known deaths, the
serious injury of eight persons, and
$4,OOO,O0O worth of private and city
property devastated, is the toll paid to
the flood which swept down Cherry
creek Sunday night. vaulted the shat
tered retaining walls and inundated
miles of adjoining territory in its fu.
rious onslaught. Thousands of people
have been made homeless. All their
Nearthly possessions gone and left only
with the scantily.clad clothes in which
they fled for their lives.
To prevent the recurrence Of such
catastrophe in the future, Mayor
Arnold has taken steps toward the ap-
pointment of committee to act with
the city engineer with view Of d.
verting the waters Of Cherry creek
into Sand creek, so they will be car
ried into the Platte below Denver.
The City Council In joint session
concurred with the mayors plan and
the committee will be named at once.
A number have been enabled to re-
turn to their homes. The remainder
were thrown absolutely upon the mer-
cy of the city.
Mayor Arnold and the Chamber yf
Commerce furnished relief by provid-
ing meal tickets and assigning the VIC
tins to rooming houses and hotels.
THE condition of hundreds of fami-
lies is pitiable in the extreme. Many
women and children are Ill from ex.
posure to the waters.
Some of the victims are In a seri.
Gus condition from their narrowing
experiences in the flood and physl-
clans have been summoned to attend
them.
The people In the lower sections Of
the flood-ridden district have lost ey-
crything, including their homes. Prac-
tically every hovel in the 1900 block
on Blake is about to crumble, and
the street has been closed to traffic.
Considering the extent Of the terri.
tory inundated by Sunday nights
flood-not less than $50 city blocks
together with the panic that ensued
when the torrent that spilled over the
retaining walls of Cherry creek hurled
havoc through all the lowlands. 1t Is
amazing to the police that hundred
lives were not lost.
Frank Hill, crippled shoe lace ped.
dler, and Lydia Beckford, eighty.five
years old. are the only known dead.
but Chief OF Police O'Neill believes
that many bodies will be found when
the debris has been wholly cleared
away. But eight injuries were report.
ed to police headquarters.

WILL EXAMINE NEW LAWS.
Farmers and Stockmen viii Hold In
portant Convention at Glen.
wood Springs.

\ state agricultural convention has
been called to meet at Glenw0od
Springs July 22.9i, in connection with
the midsummer convention OF the Col
orado Stockgrowers' Association. II
Is expe cted that nearly every agricul
tural organization In the state will be
represented and the convention will
take up the consideration OF the many
new laws that will be submitted to the
people under the initiative and refer
endum at the fall election. Many OF
these measures are Of great Import
ance to the agricultural interests AMI
the convention will examine each OF
them closely and make recommends
tlons to the farmers and stockmen OF
the state as to how they should vot.
on them. The experience OF other
states where the Initiative and refer
endum are In effect IL that where the
voters are not familiar with the laws
presented. that they do not vote. This
enables those who are interested to
slip a measure through. The agricul
tural interests OF the state intend to
prevent any such snap result in this
state.
Lobblcs for and against the various
bills have been lnvItedtobe present and
explain the measures TO the farmers
who will decide for or against thc
laws after hearing both sides. The
railroads have made low rates and Z
