This is a very entertaining book

tCOnt1nued from rage
night, come messages this Morn
ing telling of terrible havoc
wrought by floods following cloud
mursts yesterday afternoon and
last night.
Pueblo has been cut off from
all communication since before
midnight last night, latest reports
from there being to the effect
that several fires, started by light
ming were raging in various parts
of the city. Old residents say the
flood is the worst ever known in
that section. Early estimates of the
damage in Pueblo alone fixes the
figure at more than four million
dollars. A dispatch to the Denver
and Rio Grande railroad offices
here from its operator at Larkspur
so miles south of here, gave the
operators opinion that there had
been considerable loss of life and
property" at Pueblo.
Damage Runs High.
AT Frederick, Colo, threee feet
of water in the main street is re-
ported; at Greely, Fort Collins and
Loveland all wires are down and
the towns are without electric pow
er as the result of the flooding of
the power plant at Loveland. Be-
tween Denver and Boulder la1 ge
area of farm land is inundated
and the damage is estimated at
100000.
Houses were swept away at Lay
fayette and hundreds of head of
livestock were drowned when Coal
i creek went over its banks. At Mar

remained up and prepared 10 flee,
with bomb signals arranged, in
fear that the great dam of the
Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation
company three miles above the
town and which was reported in a
weakened condition late yesterday
afternoon, would break. Trinidad

Trains Progress Siaw.
Only one train has arrived in
Denver from Pueblo since yester-
day afternoon. 1t pulled into the
union stationn he-a at s O'clock
last night just as the waters were
beginning to creep into the city's
streets.
