at Pueblo on

food carried by the stream. says the

dark swirling waters: gurgling rush
ayrily. bouncing great trees along al
rapid pace. pushing madiy at the
stone walls that lined the stream. and
Then falling back in large waves TO
down clear around the curve in BRIEF
moment
The water fascinated those who

TO see the high water. which is the
first that has been seen this year; but
hundreds of people were promenading
the avenue TO take the fresh. moist
air after the heavy rain and Invariably
everyone stopped TO look over this
bridge and to comment upon the pos
sibilities of real flood.
The bridge was manifestly the cen
trail point of interest in the entire CITY
and the river was of course the prin-
cipal topic of conversation every
place where two or more people were
together. The Fountain river was
