Asked to Send Aid
r ,
Announcement was made by Bur
lington officials in Alliance Mon
day that the Burlington and Colo
rado & Southern railroads are pre
pared to transport fret of charge
any supplies or materials donated
for the sufferers in the flood-stricken
district in Colorado. Where
necessary, all emergency foodstuffs
will be taken in baggage cars at
tached to passenger trains.
No call has reached Red Cross
officials in Alliance' for aid. The
Red Cross has a relief fund, which
is intended to be devoted to relieve
disasters in this district. The Col
orado Red Cross, under ordinary
conditions, will take care of that
state, and if the situation is beyond
their control, central division head
quarters at Chicago and the state
headquarters at Omaha may order
further assistance from Nebraska.
As set, no effort has been made
in Alliance to organize relief of
any kind for the Colorado sufferers,
but it is expected this will be done
if the call comes. Some cities and
towns in the Btate have volunteered
assistance, and the railroads are
co-operating with those who wish
to make contributions of food or
clothing. "
Pueblo, the second, largest city in
Colorado, with a population of over
60,000, is a scene of utter desolation,
following the greatest catastrophe
evtT recorded in the "annals of, the
iEocky Mountain: region. Unprece
dented floods that swept over the city
between 6 o'clock and midnight Friday
took a toll of life that is estimated to
be nearly five hundred. The estimates
of the number of dead have been con
siderably at variance, but the loss of,

. A second cloudburst tfanfe upon the
stricken city at 3 o clock Saturday af-
" lernoon, following the breaking of the
Skagway reservoir. Water rose five
feet within an hour. A third cloud
burst came at 9 o'clock in the evening.
The Union station is reported to have
been surrounded by nineteen feet of
M-ater.
Two-thirds of the city was inun
' tated by the first floods, and the en
tire business section destroyed by fire.
Martial law was proclaimed almost
immediately, and the military, in
charge of the situation, ordered to
nhoot looters on sight. A food admin
istrator has been named and all food
distribution has been placed under his
control. Thousands are still marooned
on high points about the city. The
Jled Cross is in charge of relief oper
ations, and-trains bearing supplies are
beinb rushed from Denver and Colo
rado Springs. The city is lightles3,
heatless and without drinking water,
nd pestilence is threatening.
Streets Filled With Wreckage
The National guardsmen and the
ittna who escarped with their lives
put forth heroic efforts to remove the
hundreds of other bodies mat were
swirling on the flotsam and jetsam
tossed about by the swift currents that
ran through the downtown business
section. . ..
First estimates after communication
was established over a wobbly tele
graph wire were that the dead would
Fiumber over 2,000, but latr reports
reduced this total and if is now said
that probably less than 500 lives have
been lost. . ,. .
The greatest loss of life occurred
in that section of the city inhabited
mostly by foreigners. , . . . .
Despite warnings sounded late I ri
tlay afternoon thousands of persons
failed to heed them and remained in
the most seriously affected section,
which lies in a hollow and was swept
away by the rushing waters of the
'Arkansas and Fountain rivers.
The city was isolated from Friday
midnight until shortly af.ter 1 o clock
Saturday afternoon, when a telegraph
company succeeded in getting into
communication with an operator lo
cated at Mineral, a suburb of Pueblo.
The first message from the stricken
city was: , ' .
"We need iooa, waier
quick'
$10,000,000 Property Lost
The property loss will exceed $10,
000,000, dozens of large business es
tablishments and public buildings be
ing razed by fires that started from
bolts of lightning.
Thousands of persons in the city
. fcurried about the water-soaked
streets during the day unable to help
" themselves or others, o complete was
the devastation wrought by the floods
and flames. ,
The streets were covered with water
to a depth of from four to eighteen
feet; hundreds of houses floated
hrnusrh the main' streets, in many
cases with whole families clinging to
the refuse in the hope that they

center for many hours. BridTes con
necting the city with several railroads
have been swept away and n.ilroad
tracks are inundated for miles in ev
ery direction. It was late Sunday be
fore the relief trains could make their
way into the city.
' Food by Airplane
In the meantime airplanes with food
f.nd other necessities left Colorado
Springs and Denver.
Mayor Bailey of Denver received
word late Saturday afternoon from J.
, G. Lovern, president of the Chamber
of Commerce, Pueblo, that the condi
tions there were indescribable.
"There is no way of estimating how
many are dead, but we are in a bone
less .state, the message reud. 'Send
all help possible in the way of food
stuffs and shelter."
The city is without gas, electricity
and drinking water. Practically all of
the food supplies have been destrojed.
I A special train bearing Amenc -n
legion volunteers, including fifty w d
war veterans who served with the
engineer forces, was made up at the
un.on depot at Denver' at 6 o clock
Saturday, ready to depart for thi Jev-a-stated
area.
f The train carried, tents and food
supplies from the Colorado National
guard stores. It went as far as Colo
rado springs wnere an eitort was
made to get the necessities into the
stricken city by auto trucks.
The American Red Cross also-tsent
food, nurses and doctors. .
At Colorado Springs a huge mass
meeting was held late Saturday after
noon and a committee appointed to
drrange for rescue work in the nearby
I city. Airplanes are being sent over
the forty-five miles stretch to- Pueblo
and every effort made to carry in pro
visions. The menace of the rising wa'ers
failed to alarm the people during Fri
day evening and when the flood in
creased to its height it found hundreds
of citizens separated from their
homes by several feet of water.

Elks Benefit Dance
For Campfire Girls
Adds $450 to Funds
The Alliance bands of Campfire girls
are assure of their camping trip to
Hot fcprings. 1 he benent dance given
by the Elks lodge realized a net profit
of from $450 to $500. Complete figures
are not at hand, as there are a few of
the ticket sellers to be heard from.
The Elks home was crowded with
the guest3. Mrs. Wiker furnished the
music for the occasion, and there was
dancing in both the ball room and the
gymnasium. The Campfire girls had a
candy booth. The crowd rather fan
cied the dance as entertainment, and
the program was cut somewhat short.
Mayor R. M. Hampton gave a short
talk; Mrs. Cross' Campfire girls staged
a drill and sang one or two songs, the
little Nelson girl gave an exhibition
of toe dancing, but Al Gavin sacrificed
his speech.
MANY CASES UP

The jury was called for Tuesday
morning, ami a case was waiting for
it, the State of Nebraska vs. Edward
Balfe. The case comes on appenl from
county court, where Balfe was fined
on a charge of illegal possession of
intoxication liquor. The defendant at
the time of his arrest was rooming
at the Rodgers rooming house, and a
booze party apparently took place
there. When the Alliance police ar
rived, a bottle of home-made hooch
was found in Balfe's room. He de
nied ownership, but the countv court
held that its presence in his room was
sufficient proof.

peal from county court, are scheduled
for trial Wednesday. These are: The
State of Nebraska vs. Kermit Wolfe.
state v. John Walker and state vs.
Burton Brown. The latter two men

ing liquor in his possession in a place
other than his dwelling, and Brown

charge. The cases were both ap

pected to be bne of the most inter
esting cases of the seion, was set
