Denver, COL, July 16.-At least 6Ol
persons are homeless, several death,
are rumored and s1,5OO,OOO damage
is estimated as result of a cloud
burst which swept down the shallow
bed of Cherry creek and through the
city into the South Platte river.
At daylight hundreds of men, WON
en- and children had been gathered
into the city auditorium to be fed and
cared for by the city. Hundreds Of
homes were in ruins. Mayor Arnold
with volunteer relief parties had di
rected the rescue work throughout the
night. When telegraph communica
ton from points up the creek was re-
newed, many tales of thrilling rescuea
and great suffering were received
The smaller dwellings along the creek
collapsed like paper sacks under the
first onslaught of the wall of water
that swept down the creek.
Dazed families, huddled in yards, OF
marooned on roofs, mingled appeals
with the voices of their rescuers.
Hundreds of spectators cut off from
retreat by the flood before they real.
lied their danger, were next rescued
by volunteers, who dived into the food
and carried them ashore. Wagon
after wagon was driven into the flood
to return again and again with women
and children in drenched nightdresses.
Those who insisted on saving effects
were dragged from their homes.
The big city auditorium is refugee
camp. At dawn 500 of the homeless
were gathered there and are being fed
by the city. Twenty-Five children
from 6 months to 6 years old, whose
parents may have been lost, are in
the care of police matron A woman
and child are known to have been
drowned and two men are missing.

teric In the minds of her Fargo hearers.
Mrs. Hutchinson chose as her num-
Der the scene from The School for
Scandal, where Lady Teazle by turns
defies and coaxes her liege lord. The
company followed with alert. pleasure
the deft strokes whereby. she recreat-
ed the pastel effects of the Georgian
comedy of The surface of
life became reflected as in, a mirror
under her skilful handling of Sneri-
dams incompatible dialogue and the
delicacy of her art was attested
throughout by subtle touches Of char
act~erization.
1t is a rare distinction to be able
to convey the superficial nature of the
perverse little social climber who had
mounted her coach from the depths
of a country garden, but Mrs. Hutchin-
son made the part plausible and, in
an old-world sense, human. In the
hearings of this artist that Fargo has
thus far been privileged to have there
is already manifested a wide adaptive
ness and a signal degree of artistic
conscience. 1t is fortunate that the
opportunity Is given on Jan. 30 to
hear her in a recital Of work Of such
intensity as Hedda Gabler, which ma
reveal fresh potencies in her essen
TALLY dramatic nature.
The cards for last evening were sent
mainly to Fargo and Moorhead
friends; but several people from the
interior OF the state were present,
among the number being Miss Fanny
Amidon of Valley City, Mr.. and Mrs.

Col. Grant Hager.
