Warning Was Given Residents of Eagle River Canyon But Property Loss Great. GLEN WOOD SPRINGS, Nov. T. Hun dreds of settlers along th Kagl River Canyon and lower down In the valley had a narrow escape from death last night, when they were warned barely in time to permit of their making their escape from the very forefoot of a giant flood that swept down upon them from the broken dam at PanUe,. The mighty wall of water tor down along the valley and swallowed horses, cattle, farm houses and every article of husbandry and civilisation that came within Its path. There may have been human lives lost, but It is not believed this was the case, as the warning, al though It preceded the avalanche of hurtling debris but a short time, was am ple to permit of the inhabitants escaping to higher ground, never very far from th homes. - The dam was used to conserve water for Irrigation purposes. FrOm the giant reser voir thus formed ditches led into the val ley below. The dam waa th result of months of toll and the expenditure of many thousands of dollar. All this will be a total loss. Fortunately crops had been harvested, and, with the exception of some slight produce that was stored, there will be no losses ot this nature. A cloudburst near the head of Eagle River was responsible for the bursting of the dam, which had been tested and de clared perfectly safe. The water banked up behind it until the concrete and sand could not stand the strain and gave way. TOBACCO WAR The Retailers to Fight the Cigar Combine.
