Mother Drops Her Baby.
An infant boy was drowned when his
mother, terror stricken and up to her
waist in water, dropped the baby and
the little body was swept down the
stream.
The second known death was that of
S-year-old Christopher Jensen. The boy
was standing ON 1.-THE bank watching the
rushing water, when the bank caved in
and he was carried to his death.
The storm was general, and at Long

the rain fell heavily, blocking traffic.
Word of the Cherry creek flood was
conveyed to the city hall by telephone
shortly before the crest reached Denver,
and not a moment was lost in warning

saving perhaps hundreds of lives.

on the subject, explaining the views

fer with the citizens Of that city.
T. S. Wilkes, civil engineer of
Hillsboro, was present and upon invi.
tation Of the president addressed the
meeting on the subject of deepening
the channel. He was of the impress
sion that the proper method of secur-
ing six feet Of water in the channel
was to dredge rather than to con-
struct locks and dams, as the dams
would be likely to raise the low water
mark to such an extent that many of
the lower lands would be inundated to
such an extent as to render them un-
productive and yalueless. He had "A

their bodies. In 1871 a Mr.. Sanborn

body to Professor Agassiz and Oliver
Wendell Holmes, representing that It
should ~be prepared In the most SCI

at Harvard. He also directed that his
skin should be made into two drum
heads. to be presented to his friend
and patriotic fellow citizen, Warren

on them the national air of Yankee

on Bunker Hill at sunrise every 17tn

and on the other the Declaration or
