NEWS OF SEVERAL DEATHS
Denver, Colo,, Oct. 21.—A general
storm prevailed along the eastern
slope of the Rocky mountains from
Wyoming to New Mexico today. Snow
has been falling in Colorado almost
incessantly for the past 24 hours uni
Ftill keeps up tonight. Suburban
electric lines have operated with diffi-
cult, yand railroads have experienced
delay in the running of trains. As yet
no serious results are reported in this
sect!; n.
In Colorado the storm extended to
the western slope. In the valley
around Buena Vista the snow stands
two feet deep on the level and in the
mountains throughout the state the
snow varies from two to five feet
in depth. Twenty-two inches of snow
had fallen at Florence by nightfall.
Apple orchards in that section, from
which the crop in most, instances had
not yet been gathered will suffer con-
siderably The trees are heavily
laden with fruit and the additional
weight of heavy, wet snow is causing
them to break down. The roof of
one of the buildings at the cement
works at Portland gave way from the
weight of snow upon it but no one was
hurt.
In northern Colorado the snow Is
twenty inches deep and should a
1 reezo follow the storm considerable
loss will result to the potato crop.
Wyoming reports a general storm
which has played havoc with wire
communication and is interrupting
railroad traffic. Several minor
wrecks have occurred. Livestock Is
threatened with damage from the
col l, 'i'ra'n service In all directions
is delayed from four to ten hours. The
storm though abated somewhat still
continued at midnight.
New Mexico Swept by Storm.
Albuquerque, N. M , Oct. 21.—The
worst blizzard since the great storm
of 1882 is general- throughout New
Mexico. A high wind is driving a
dense fall of sleet and snow -through
the Rio Grande valley ami early re-
ports tonight Indicate that the losses
to sheep growers will be very heavy.
The stoi m began about. 7 o'clock
Sunday morning with a high wind,
which rapidly increased In velocity
■tin 11 by 9 o’clock the gale had reach
ed the proportions of a cyclone. The
wind carried dense clouds of sand and
dust with it. which changed into rain,
and. with the rapidly falilng tempera-
ture, into sleet and snow. Tonight
the snow is falling in suffocating
beets and the reports from the sur-
tounding country show that the snow
is more severe in the high country
than in the Rio Grande valley. The
storm is general, reports from Las
Vegas. Santa Fe, Socorro and Gallup
Indicating that the same conditions
exist in these places as ia Albuquer-
que.
Telegraph and telephone service is
almost completely shut off, and rail-
road traffic Is seriously delayed,
Some minor damage has been done
in Albuquerque. Trees have been
wrecked and windows have been
blown in in the unprotected section*
Minor damage is also reported from
Las Vegas, Socorro and small towns
smith of Albuquerque.
Tlte worst suffering, however, is in
the sheep ranges. Very meager re
ports have come in, but all agree that
if the storm continues through the
niaht the losses to the sheep men
will be very heavy, eg noqe of the
growers were in any way prepared
for the storm. The snow is growing
heavier tonight, and lb* wind is rising
again. The storm area extends as
far south as Las Cruces in the Mesilla
valley.
There has been no storm to com-
pare with this in severity for many
wars and sheep growers here decline
to predict what, the result will be in
the mountain district.-!.
