elimination OF a conspiracy between Vir-
gil. his mother and two brothers to col
lect $24, 900 life insurance which Virgil
carried on himself, by Identifying the

PUEBLO, Col, June 4-Major Paul P. Newton arrived from Denver to- night and took command of the state troops here. He announced no ac- curate estimate of the loss of life could be made.
 "Conditions are beyond descrip- tion," said Major Newton, after an inspection trip. Virtually every building from the postoffice to the square beyond the Union station on Union avenue was completely wiped out. In addition to the havoc wrought by the water, buildings undermined by the inundation have caved in. causing a scene of desolation and horror beyond anything I have ever seen.
 Many of the principal business buildings in the main business sec tions became roaring furnaces soon after the first fires broke out. It was impossible for volunteer workers to get close enough to the blazing build ings to fight the flames Water reached a depth of 16 feet in the Union depot and from that place all the way up town to the post office the water was five feet deep. Volunteer workers by hundreds are aiding in the work of rescuing victims of the flood waters. One troop of cavalry, the battery of field artil- lery. the American Legion and the state rangers are experimenting the work of rescue and relief. Rangers arrived here today from Walsenburg, Denver, Castle Rock and from Colorado Springs.
 We left Denver at 10:15 a. m. and reached Pueblo at 7:15 tonight. The trip was the most hazardous any of us had ever undertaken. In four places we crossed railroad trestles over swollen torrents. In other places we were forced to haul. push and carry our car over makeshift bridges
