TELLURIDE is RUINED RUINED
FLOOD DESTROYS NOTED COLO.
RADIO MINING TOWN.
Torrent From Cloudburst-TWo Wom-
en- Are Drowned-scores Saved
BY Warning.

Denver, July 29.-The noted mining
town of Telluride was practically de.
sstroyed by a torrent that descended
upon it, almost without warning. from
:Cornet creek. The food resulted from
a cIoudburst about four miles up In
the mountain.
Two women are known to have been
drowned, and IS children were res
scued after a wall OF water from eight
to twenty feet high. had hit the city.
That the loss OF life was not heavier
is considered almost miraculous. Cor.
net canyon runs a precipitous course
directly into the city Of Telluride.
The town has a population OF 900.
Gregory Sanchez, aminer who lives
at the mouth OF the canyon, has been
i'll and was not working. Sitting upon
his humble porch he heard the roar OF
the torrent. He. ran half clad into the
town, warning everyone he passed.
He was the means Of saving scores OF
lives; for, soon after he had given the
warning. hundreds of families were
fleeing to the hillsides.
All Telluride's 1000 Inhabitants are
huddled in upper stories Of houses on
the sides Of the hills. Many OF them
know that their little homes have
been wrecked beyond repair; but, with
the stern heroism of the miner and
his own. they do not complain.
The physical loss is greater than
any. in Telluride yet realize. Experts
declare that the property damage can
not be under $275, 900. Not q residence
or a business, house infthe little city,
except a few cottages scattered along
the sides OF the hills, remains whole.
The dead are Mrs. john johnson,
wife Of "a miner, and Mrs. p. Es Blake
ily, jewelers. wife. Thomas Welsh,
mine owner, is missing.
When the flood hit the city proper
there was no dearth Of heroes. John
Sands, teamster, and Harry Lyle a
miner, rescued 20 children who had
been literally washed out OF their
homes. So

II Belts That Are Shown Just Now
In Large Numbers.

"A little accessory that can be bought
to add a smart touch to a homemade
or old frock is always welcome.
Perhaps that is n reason for the
popularity OF the neckwear OF this
season and last. Frilling and ruchr
ings OF tulle and net and lace trans
formed many simple frocks and the
addition Of one OF the new organdy
collars to a staid serge dress takes
it out Of the realm Of dowdiness.
So it Is with a new little belt that
can be had in the shops.
It is really only a half belt, for the
back Of the skirt or coat, to reach
from hip to hip: ES
1t is made in many combinations.
One that is very attractive Is made
Of gray suede, cut out to show three
or four pieces Of Japanese silk crepe
printed in blue and red. This little
belt costs $1.35. and is fitted with
three or four pockets on the under
side SO that It can be easily fastened

Glrdleo Of Flowers,

This Is a much garlanded and b.
lowered season. The makers of arti-
fetal flowers ought to be f%ourishing,
and they certainly deserve to flourish
for their delicate and dainty wares r
miracles OF beauty and ingenuity. Ono
OF the most popular conceitsr of the mo-
ment is q girdle OF tiny flowers ending
In a little posy as its fastening. It
Is a pretty fancy that is extremely ap-
proprtate with the ethereal and fragile
materials that are being used for eve
ming dress. For debutantes' frocks
these garlands and girdles and posies
have been the happiest Of decorations.
