Las Animas, Colo, Jun

one of the worst floods ever wit
messed in the United States.
The Arkansas river came down
with a wall of water that swept
everything before it. The loss
of life is something terrible, es-
pecial lily at Pueblo.
A friend of mine stood on top
of the Brown Wholesale Grocery
house at Pueblo when the water
was up to the second story,
about 20 feet deep and saw the
flood in all it's fury. Autos,
houses and box cars, along with
men, women and children,
screaming and praying, foated
past the building. He saw the
D. & R. G.. train with it's load
of passengers turn over as also
the Missouri Pacific train do the
same thing.
When the death list is COM
pleted it will no doubt run into
the thousands.
The river at Las Animas was
about two miles wide, the bed of
the river being about a mile from
town. In the low lands near
the river, water went into the
houses five feet or more. Houses
were washed away and a big
Mexican colony built at or near
the sugar mill was completely
washed away.
Mrs. Brown, Sadie and myself
were down to the river last night
and it sure looks terrible.
Beautiful drives, homes and
crops completely destroyed.
Our loss here will reach near a
half million.
The night of the flood was a
terrible nightmare. People left |
town and went up into the hills |
With what belongings they could
get hold of and spent the night
here with the rain pouring down
and with no shelter.
| took my family and went to

he water had not~reached our
lome. | returned to the school

quarters of a mile, passing thru

Animas escaped damage from the
Ugh water.
