NEW FLOOD
 HALTS RESCUERS
Estimated Not Over 250 Lives Lost in Pueblo FlOOd-Strick- en City is Again Partially h. undated by Torrent.

Las Animas, Colo, June 5.-Four persons, all of them Mexicans, and three of them children, are known to be dead, and many others are believed to have perished by the overfowing of the Arkansas river last night flood ing this city.
 Warning was received from La- Junta, to take to the hills, but the city was virtually surrounded with water before the warning could be passed around. Many houses were washed into the streets and some down the river.
 Pueblo, June 5.-At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, just when Pueblo was beginning to recover from the terrible disaster of Friday night, the Skag- way reservoir between Florence and Victor suddenly gave way and within an hour the swollen torrent of the Ar kansas river again inundated the out lying sections of the city.
 The new flood did not develop ser iously, although the river rose several feet in short time. At 6 p. m. the river was receding slowly.
 Pueblo, Col, June 5-Floor sur vivors worked leverishly today rescu- ing bodies of the dead and planning relief for hundreds of homeless. The total dead remained undetermined, but the authorities were hopeful the number would not exceed 250, al- though some estimates placed the dead at 500.
 The Arkansas river commenced ris- ing early this morning Floor warn- ings were sounded and scores of peo- pie who had returned to their homes were forced to seek new havens of refuge. The business district was covered with from tive to three feet of water.
 Military law is being rigidly en- forced. Twenty-Five men have been arrested for footing A Mexican, who was caught footing, was shot by the military. The military established deadline at the waters edge All per sons entering the flooded area must have a pass.
 Between 2,000 and 5000 refugees were being cared for tonight. They were being given shelter in public buildings and in homes that escaped damage.

10000 ACRES
 IN CANTALOUPES
More Than Half the Acreage in the State of Arkansas is in Sevier and Hempstead COun- ties.

Little Rock, June 5.-Approxlmate- ly 10000 acres were planted to canta- loupes in Arkansas this year, and sholud produce about 2,000 carloads of the product, according to canta- loupe bulletin issued jointly by Chas. s. Bouton, agricultural statistician in Arkansas for the United States Bureau of Crop Estimates, and Tur- ner Wright, agent in marketing for the Federal Bureau of Markets here. The bulletin showing the condition up to late in May gave the condition gen. orally as not more than 66 per cent of normal.
 More than half of the cantaloupe acreage of the state is in Sevier and Hampstead counties, the bulletin shows, Sevier county having 3,100 acres and Hampstead 2,600 acres. Much replanting has been necessary and some growers reported that the crop is from 10 to 15 days late, but it was believed that shipments on the whole would not be greatly delayed.
 The acreage this year is approxi- mately 4,000 greater than last year, when 62OO acres were harvested and carlot shipments amounted to 9O7. On the same basis the state should ship more than 1,50O ears of canta- loupes in carlots this year, while acres from which carlots cannot be shipped should produce approximately $50 cars.
 Besides Hempstead and Sevier counties, cantaloupes are being raised on 2 commercial scale this year in Miller Little River, Polk, Sebastian, Crawford, Washington, Benton, How ard. Pike, Lafayette, Dallas, Clerk, Drew, Franklin and Yell counties Crawford county will rank next to Hampstead county in number of acres planted, while Clark county will be the fourth producing county of the state.
 The carlot shipments of canatloupes from the producing sections of the state during the 1920 season accord ing to reports made to the Bureau of Markets, United States Department of Agriculture, amounted to total of 9O7 More than half of these car lot shipments of 544 cars were shipped to Missouri points.
 As in the case of strawberries, the
 As in the case of strawberries, the largest number of cars shipped to any one point went to St. Louis, which city received 365 cars of the total. The next city of importance from the standpoint of Arkansas can taloupe distribution is Kansas City, to which 163 cars were sent.
 The total number of cars shipped to each of these two cities was great CT than the total shipped to any state
