broke out as a pimple and grew larger
until 1t was a large red spot with q
crust or scab over it. This became
larger finally covering the entire scalp
and spread to different parts of the

smart. The clothing would irritate
them at night when 1t was being re-

Greeley, Colo-The active minds
and ready wit of two young women
prevented disaster on the c.. B. &

lives of 100 passengers when the
Great Horse Creek reservoir dam,
twenty-seven miles south of here on
the Adams county line, broke, releas-

Addie Cannon, night telephone Oper-
ator at Hudson.
The Shafer family lives a mile north
of the dam and all were awakened by
the roar of the water.
Relieving the main bridge had
broken, Miss Shafer telephoned to
Hudson. the nearest town, and the op-
orator Id that city notified the agent.
When she realized it would be i'm
possible for him to get men to the
danger point before No. 15, the fast
Burlington passenger train from Kan
sas City. would arrive, Miss Cannon

sent them to the bridge.
The train was tagged just in time.
One hundred feet of the track at the
bridge approach had been washed from
the main roadbed.
With a roar that could be heard for
miles. 300-foot section of the dam
went out. The total loss of property
and water is estimated at between
$175,O and 100000.
The water, which is owned by the
Henrylyn irrigation district and which
escaped into Box Elder creek, was val
ued at $4,000.

their loss will reach n large sum, more
than $50 animals having perished.
In addition to saving the train. Miss
Shafer discovered one of the freaks
of the flood, the water of which was
from six to ten feet deep, when she
found one of her fathers horses a
renter had been using blocked in on
the porch of house by ice, mile
from where the animal belonged.
Great cakes of ice which were bat
tered against the concrete facing
helped to weaken 1t and the dam gave
way when the pressure became too

Colonel Roosevelt Visits Sisters Driver
Out OF Mexico.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-Five nuns of the
Sacred Heart, who were driven out
of Mexico after enduring insult and
hardship, were visited by Colonel
Roovevelt yhile here. The colonel
listened to the story Of how the nuns
and 43 of the sisters were driven at
the bayonet's point from their con-
vent at Guadalajara, how they were
crowded into q two-room hovel, where
they lived on bread and water for six
weeks. and finally were rescued and
brought to San Francisco in a tramp
steamer. They lived in the hold near
the steerage compartment set aside
for Chinese passengers.
While the colonel was present q
message was received from the state
department at Washington in which
it was stated the department had re-
peatedly made representations to
Mexico in behalf of persons and prop
critics of religious orders, and was now
seeking suitable guarantees from
Carranza for the priests and nuns
now in Vera Cruz.
