Denver, June TN addition to
the dreadful reports on the dam
age at Pueblo, comes the harrow
ing stories of other points along
the wake of the flood waters that
rushed down the Arkansas river, leav-
ing death and destruction in its path.
The little city of Amity was practically
wiped off the map and the residents
were compelled TO seek safety and
shelter in the higher ground south OF
the valley. 1t is feared that four lives
were lost at that point.
The water struck La Junta Sunday
afternoon in depth of three feet all
over the north side of the city, cutting
off the water supply and lighting sys-
TEN. The river at this point was re-
ported nearly two miles wide. The
Santa Fe railroad shops were at one
time in five feet of water and the en-
tire transportation system of that line
from Pueblo to Syracuse, Kansas, is
paralyzed. Santa Fe passenger trains
are being detoured north around via
Mcpherson over the Union Pacific, and
coast bound trains via Amarillo, Texas,
hCIOSS llle Nul-OAl inv III 1'S" %NN-A'NS'
At least 200 residences in Las Ami
mas stood in three feet of water for
several hours at the height of the flood.
At Lamar the river was reported
nearly three miles wide and reached
well into the town, which is situated on
the south side of the river just where
the higher land begins to raise out OF
the river bottoms.
Pueblo is already started digging
back to life. Digging out is the only
thing the town thinks about 1t has
crowded into the background the
search for the dead. Until the waters
recede and many districts are drained,
casualty hunts cannot be prosecuted
with any degree of success.
The downtown districts are above
the water again and every available
man and tool is engaged in the work of
cleaning. Caterpillar tractors are trans
porting dead horses from the flooded
districts. Slips pulled by four-horse
teams ,are scraping the mud from
streets and bridges which are sagging
under the extra weight. Every avail
able man is working with hands or
pick or shovel. A house-to-houSe can
vass is being made for scrub women
The salvage of wrecked mercantile
stores has begun.

Brooklin, Mass.-Brig. Gen. John w.
Rucllman, 63, in command of the North
Atlantic coaSt artillery district, is dead.
He had served in Cuba, in the Philip
pines, on the Texas border in 1916, and
during the World war he held the rank
of major general in the national army.
The Colorado statesman., 1921-06-11

Denver, June 6.-Friday, June 3, was
a dark day in the history of Pueblo,
Colorado's second city. Flood waters
from the Arkansas and Fountain riv-
ers devastated the business and lower
residence sections of the town, sweep
ing away hundreds of houses and caus-
ing great loss of life. Reports to date
show property loss will run into mil
lions, while constantly dead bodies
are being found, until the death roll
shows upwards of 200. Flood waters
fill a large portion of the city, and
Saturday and Sunday as they receded
new horrors were revealed. In some
places the water was reported seven
teen feet deep.
Publo's union depot wns in the CEN
ter of the flooded area, which reached
from the high cliffs on which the bet
ter residence portion Of the city Is To-
Gated at Seventh street to west of the
station. Practically all in that lower
section is destroyed. From Friday
night to Sunday the city was without
light or water, street cars stopped,
fires became frequent and with no
chance to fight them, soon consumed
many business and residence blocks.
The flood was augmented by a sec
ond cloudburst Saturday which
wrought greater havoc Sunday. with
the breaking of Beaver dam, eight
miles north of Florence, and a terrific
cloudburst about 3 p. M, the stricken
city is in a most pitiful condition. The
Arkansas river rushed down again and
the receding waters were given fresh
impetus 1t is impossible to tell the
extent of this dire disaster.
Pueblo is under martial law, the
Colorado National Guard and Colorado
Rangers being In complete control of
the city. Looters have been arrested
by the dozen and several shot. Armies
of rescuers worked day and night to
save persons caught in the flood and
who could not reach safety before the
great nine-foot wall of water struck
the city.
Denver & Rio Grande train No. 3
and Missouri Pacific train No. IL were
caught in the flood and both turned
turtle. As each carried numbers of
passengers, it is not now known how
many perished.
Railroad and wagon bridges are out
north. south and west of Pueblo, and
il is difficult to get relief to the
stricken city. Denver sent special
train of clothing, food, blankets and
other necessary equipment Saturday
night. Red Cross nurses and helpers
accompanied this train with full sup
ply of emergency material. The Sal

deserted him
The three sons of the couple are said
TO have left their mother in Denver
when she filed the suit against their
father, and came to him on the Pueblo
farm; they are looking after the place
while the father Is in Jail.
One of the cruelty allegations made
by Mrs. Sullivan in her suit for divorce
was that he did not properly provide
for the family's support, especially
mentioning the absence of sugar Sui
Ivan claimed that was when the war
embargo was on the dispensing of
sugar and other household necessities,
but that he was buying all the sugar
and other provisions that could be Sc
cured under tho restrictions.
Anyway, Sullivan Is In the Pueblo

deputy sheriff who had charge of him
Already in the court room where he
had been hailed for contempt OF court,
Sullivan told Judge Trimble that he
would never pay tho alimony, that he
had not the funds with which to pay
and that he positively would not mort

years the patient may get a case of nerves and his vision somewhat dis torted. He may seem. to demand a great many things. To some on the outside the life of a patient may seem to be that of ease. They might say that he is getting food and living quarters and paid while. he is doing nothing. They forget that it has been four years since that spring when he was called to the colors and four years taken from youth gives man great handicap with which to start life. Is it any wonder that many of them declare that when the next war comes that they will take hundred dollars a week in the shipyards rather than enlist in the combat units? Most of the men will have to find some new occupation when they re-enter civilian life; something that will re- duce the handicap Of their disability. With this in mind, many resort to the schooling offered by the Federal Board for Vocational Education but to gain that there is the endless sys- tenn of red tape to go through and some become discouraged, try some occupation that overtaXes their strength, and the whole course of hospital treatment has to be gone over again.
 There is pending ill congress at present some legislation that will seriously affect the status of the eX- service man in the hospitals. There is the Sweet bill that wants to put the patients under a military discip- line. Military discipline may mean many. things and the bill if it be- comes a law be interpreted in various ways by different hospital command CTS just as it was and is ill the army. In the army some of the surgeons went so far as to compel the patients to get out of bed and 'come to at tention" every time they come through the wards. That was not pleasant for a sick man and not conducive to rapid recovery. Military training has never been popular in the United States and such law does not ap- pear to be even American. Surely other measures may be taken to in- sure discipline ill the hospitals with out resorting to the proposed course. Should the infractions of few cause the punishment to be inflicted on all: Many crimes may be committed un- der the guise of military discipline.
