10 PERISH IN
COLORADO
STORM
DENVER, Colo., Dec. 6.—Colorado
is snow bound, lying under a mantle of
white that is from two to five feet
deep and even greater in many of the
great canyons and draws. The storm
which began yesterday morning
reached blizzard proportions by after
noon, and from that time on until 3
o'clock this morning the elements
raged worst. It Is still snowing this
morning, but the wind his subsided to
a large extent.
Railroad traffic Is tied up, and in
Denver not a streetcar has moved
since 5 o'clock last evening. Trams,
snowplows and rotary sweepers are
helpless to move the thickly packed
wet snow, and the streets are con
gested with huge piles of the beauti
ful. Automobile and wagon traffic is
impossible, and it will probably be
days before travel conditions are re
stored to normal.
LIVES LOST IX CENTRAL CITY
The storm has brought much suf
fering all over the state, and reports
of great losses to livestock are ex
pected as soon as telegraph and tele
phone communication, which is badly
interrupted. Is reopened. It 13 also
believed that the storm has cost more
or less human life. A report from
Central City in Gilpin county, in one
of the mountainous sections, says
that eight miners who formed a res
cue party to find two lost men per
ished ln the blizzard.

lice headquarters this noon.
The policeman looked unimpressed.
They asked him what he had come

that a Los Angeles paper this morn

unconscious and nearly suffocated

the gigantic craft, aided by men from
the navy yard, fought the flames.

the fight, to flood the forward com
partment. At 11 o'clock the tug
