two of the vessels h.ive been in colli

latitude 55 south, longitude 53 west,
the abandoned hull of the British ship

Denver, July 28. The torrents ol
i water which rushed down the canyons
upon Morrison, Golden and othet
; mountain towns of Colorado last uight,
were caused by a terrifio mountain
storm, which extended hundreds of
miles or more from Boulder, where the
damage was slight. All down the
range west of Denver, almost to Pu
H". the storm swept its destructive
way.
It has been impossible, thus far, tc
fully explore the devastated district,
but it is believed that when a full in
vestigation has been made at least fifty
lives will be found to have gone out
during the progress of the storm.
At Morrison and Golden the torrent
tore away buldings, uprooted trees,
wurhed out long stretches of railroad
tracks, swept away bridges and spread
annihilation through the towns. Its
work was as brief as the warnings it
gave were inadequate, and almost be
fore the citizens knew what had hap
pened the floods had passed, leaving
only deadly silence and signs of devas
tation everywhere.
All that could be done in the dark
ness and confusion was done by thf
rescuers. Men, women and children
were extricated from dangerous predic
aments, let down from the roofs oi
floating houses, helped out of trees and
drawn out of the very whirl and death
of tne torrent.
As fur as ascertained, the following
is a full list of persons whose live
were lost in the great floods that swept
down upon the towns of Morrist n and
Golden, in the foothills near Denver
last nigh'.
The dead at Morrison are: Mrs.
