FLOOD AT ri Kltl.O
Drowns Hum tire Us and Destroyed Mil
lions In I'rojMTiy.
Pueblo, Colo, .lone -V Three times
during the last -IS 'hours Hi? waters
of the Arkansas cHerj breaking
from their CQttrto, have inundated
the greater part of this city with
tlio resultant loss of probably not
more than 200 lives and property dam
age estimated at $10,000,0d0. This loss
Is attributed chiefly to the first flood
of Friday night and Saturday morn
ing, The second and third floods of
this morning and afternoon found little
of valde not already ruined by tin
waters apd were looked upon with con
cern only because they hindered rescue
and construction work.
First estimates of the dead, based
upon reports from excited eyewit
nesses who told of seeing hundreds
of' bodies swept through I he streets of
the elt.v, are considered greatly exag
gerated. While no official count of
the fatalities has been attempted, it is
said the death list probably will not
exceed 250, If that high.
One hundred bodies have been re
covered, but it is feared that when
the mud and debris which fills the
streets and buildings in the flooded
area are cleared away more will be
found.
Relief work Is progressing under the
direction of Red Cross officials and
Covernor Shoup. The greater danger
at present .Is from pestilence. Food is
being rationed. Those without funds
with? which to purchase provisions are
being cared for by the Red Cross and
other agencies. To those who have i
funds, military permits are being Issn- !
'ed allowing the holder to buy only a
limited amount of food from local j
stores.
Pure water is at premium. Pco-i
'pie have been warned to boil water
before drinking. In anticipation of a
typhoid epidemic, a large quantity of i
typhoid anti-toxin has been called for
and will be administered as soon as
available.
Five hundred person* are in tempo
rary hospitals as a direct result of
the flood, according to J. E. Moorhead,
secretary to the governor. There are
eases of chickenpox, typhoid ? pneu (
monia. diphtheria . and one or, two
eases of hisanity.
. ?
The entire city is under martial law
and 1 ~>0 troops are patrolling the city
with orders that a)) j>orsons are to In
kept out "of tlifcrost rleted area and l<>
shoot if necessary.
Troops have received orders to pre
vent all visitors from entering Ihe City.
Xn persons not" members of the nation
al &uard ^will be admitted.

load of meat to keep it from spoiling
and this will be distributed to the
needy.
