Devastation Wrought by Fire and
Water at Pueblo Beyond
Description.

Colorado Springs.-The devastation
wrought by fire and flood at Pueblo is
beyond description, according to c. 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 special
relief train to the scene of the disas-
ter.
Hundreds of iNIs were lost and
millions Of dollars in property were dc
Stroycd," said Railsbuck. Tile main
business district of the city gut.ed by
fire and water, and il probably never
will be known how many hundreds OF
people perished

WAS horrible beyond description.
Il saw several frame rooming houses
topplc over. plunge into the raging tor
rent, each filled with screaming wom-
en and children. The scene was sick

Mr. Railsbac!i said at one time there
was fifteen feet of water running
through the Santa t'e yards. In fact.
the yards were completely destroyed
To add to the horror of the flood,
sires 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
Begss, White & Davis, Straub's trunk
factory, the King lumber yard and
many others were wrecked by water or
completely destroyed by fire, accord
ing to Railsbucll.
The river broke over its banks near
the state insane asylum, and soon
there was raging torrent from the
high cliffs TO the west of the union
depot to Seventh street.

Famous Jokes.

Andrew Carnegie told good story
at the expense of Matthew Arnold In
his Autobiography" 1t seems that
the English critic was not successful
In his lectures In the United States
but he was anxious to learn, and he
asked how Josh Billings held his au-
dience. The American humorist re-
piled: "Well, you mustn't keep them
laughing too long. or they will think
you are laughing at them. After CIV
ing the audience amusement you must
become earnest and play the serious
role. For instance. There are. two
things In this life for which no man
is ever prepared. Who will tell me
what these are| Finally some one
cries out, Death We'll, who gives
me the other?' Many respond-
wealth. happiness. strength, marriage,
taxes. At last Josh begins solemnly:
None Of you has given the second.
There are two things on earth for
which no man Is ever prepared, and
them's twins and the house shakes"
Mr.. Arnold did also.

SCORES LOST IN PUEBLO FLOOD
DEATH TOLLS REACH HUNDREDS

of volunteers.
J. Il. Roberts and Robert Wayland,
prominent business men, volunteered
to take boat and attempt to reach
two women whose calls could be heard
In the darkness. After much difficulty
they found girl OF 10, Mary Meal
ester, clinging to power wire. She
was taken into the boat and the men
attempted to reach her mother, In II

They succeeded in getting her into the
boat. when she gave lurch and all
four went into the water. After u
struggle Roberts and Waylnnd. with
the girl. managed to scramble onto the
roof of floating house, but their dan
ger was not over and the building was
carried down the street closer and
closer to the lumber yard of the King
Investment Company.
Their cries for help attracted the
attention of men on the roof of Il negro
church, who saw the cnpsized boat un-
carried along with 1t. The three final

and got to point where they could

is feared, was drowned.
