Of the terrible cloudDurst that visited
Telluride today, leaving almost un-

Shortly after noon a hard storm,
swept over the city. Ten minutes be-
fore one loud rumbling, almost like
thunder, was heard in the Cornet can
on directly north of town and in an

feet deep and fully .yo blocks wide,
swept over the city, taking every
thing in its way.
Fifty buildings were demolished by
the raging torrent. Property every
where was damaged. Debris to the
depth of twenty and thirty feet block
ed the Main street of the city.
As soon as the storm subsided,
crowds Of frantic people thronged
the streets to determine if any Of
their friends had lost their lives.
The body of Mrs. E. E. Blakely was
found four blocks from her home,
where it had been carried by the
angry waters. Mrs. Anderson, an
other resident of that portion of the

representative business men, have
been appointed members Of the COM
mittee to direct the work of cleaning
