Platte River Goes Over Banks.

The flood gates of Bergen and Har-
riman lakes above Denver were raised
to allow the flood waters to escape
down the Platte river, that the dams
could take care of the extra water let
loose by the breaking of the Beaver
dam. This caused the river TO over
flow its banks in Denver and a near
panic ensued when the police sent out
warning to people living along the low
land next to the river. No loss of life
was reported and all danger was soon
over. The police of the city used ev-
cry precaution to see that no one was
allowed to cross any of the bridges
which the raising water was threaten
ing. The water in some instances run
ming within two feet of the floors of
the bridges.
Nearly 100 families around Jerome
Park and in the Valverde districts
were compelled 10 seek higher ground.
Two TO four feet of water standing in
the houses in that district.

THE most serious problem facing
the smelter city is that of sanitation,
according to Robert Cast, chief of the
sanitation commission of the Pueblo
chapter of the Red Cross, who has is
sued an urgent appeal for aid.
"Pueblo's S1,000000 courth ou s e

churches, public buildings and hun
dreds of private homes are housing
countless others left destitute by the
flood. The destitute are being fed at
the rate of 600 an hour by the Red
Cross, which has nobly responded to
the tremendous demands for assist
ance. But despite the well-Organized
efforts to take care of its unfotunates,

Enormous Property DAMAGES.

Millions of dollars of farm property
was lost in the flood of the Arkansas
river. From Pueblo east to the Kan
sas line on both sides of the river, en-
tire farms are devastated. Houses,
fencing, machinery and stock all swept
on by the raging waters. 1t is thought
that many people may have perished
on the farms, and the lowlands of the
valley along the river, but the exact
number will not be known for some
time. Nearly ever town in the Ar
kansas valley suffered more or less
damage and loss to property and life.

The death toll of the flood waters
which swept the northern, eastern and

to mount as more complete reports are
received from inundated portions of
the state. The total number of dead
stand at 5T3 at last reports. Several
towns where devastation is thought to
have been terrific were still unheard
from, owing to crippled communica-
ton lines and disrupted rail traffic.
The towns and cities in which casual
ties resulted from the flood waters,

Colorado Springs.-The devastation
wrought by fire and flood at Pueblo is
beyond description, according TO G. S.
Railsback, formerly of this city, now
special agent of the Santa Fe at Pu-
eblo.
Mr. Railsback made his way to Colo
RADIO Springs by special Santa Fe mo
tor car in an effort TO get into com
munication with La Junta over the
Union Pacific wires to order a special
relief train to the scene of the disas-
ter.
Hundreds OF lives were lost and
millions of dollars in property were de-
stroyed," said Railsback. The main
business district of the city gutted by
fire and water, and it probably never
will be known how many hundreds of
people perlshed.
THE entire residence districts in
several of the lowlands were complete
~ wiped out. / spent the entire night,
with hundreds of others, rescuing wom-
en- and little children from the flood,
and my mind is so befuddled that
can badly talk about the thing. 1t
was horrible beyond description.
81 saw several frame rooming houses
topple over, plunge into the raging tor
rent, each filled with screaming wom-
en- and children. The scene was sick
ening."
Mr.. Railsback said at one time there
was fifteen feet of water running
through the Santa Fe yards. In fact,
the yards were completely destroyed.
To add to the horror of the flood,
fires broke out all over the city, not
only in the business district, but in
many residence sections.
The largest business houses of the
city, including the big banks, Crews
Beggs, White & Davis, Straubs trunk
factory, the King lumber yard and
many others were wrecked by water or
completely destroyed by fire, accord
ing to Railsback.
The river broke over its banks near
the state insane asylum, and soon
there was a raging torrent from the
high cliffs to the west of the union
depot to Seventh street

Las Animas Flooded.

Las Animas, Colo.-Four Mexicans
are reported drowned, houses in the
lower section of the city swept from
their foundations and the entire city
was surrounded by waters ranging in
depth from one to six feet. Residents
fleeing from the residential districts
of the city to the hills. Owing to
flooding of the lighting plant the
city was in darkness. adding to the
terror of the people. The sugar fac
tory here has been flooded out and
water reached a depth of six feet
in the company offices and through
out the plant The bridge over the
Arkansas river here was washed
out. All telephone lines were car
ried away. The river is swollen and
has overflowed its banks. The four
Mexicans reported drowned are sugar
factory employees who were in the
company houses near the plant. They
did not heed warnings of the oncom-
ing flood. 1t is feared others may
have perished in the wall of water
which struck the city late in the
evening.

rary sanitary measures as he may
deem necessary and to furnish subsis-
tence and quartermaster supplies be-
longing to the military establishment
and make available and issue the same
to such destitute persons in Colorado
as have been rendered homeless or are
in needy circumstances as the result
of the floods due to the overflow of
