Here's one of the freak stories Of
the flood: Capt. O. L. Dennis Of the
Colorado rangers tells II. When he
made an inspection trip through the
flooded regions at Pueblo he looked
into a railroad coal car over which
flood waters had flowed. He found
grunting therein large, healthy SOW
and wriggling family Of newborn
pigs. The high sides Of the car and
the fact that hogs are never shipped In
coal cars, left only one explanation.
The SOW was swept into the car by
the waters, penned there and left high
and dry when the water leaked out
through the cracks. The SOW then far
rowed her new litter. Captain Dennis
found the car and Its family near
Canon Junction.
