PLATTE KIVER STILL RISING AT DENVER. DENVER, June 8.—Flood waters of the Platte river continued to rise to- day, menacing points in northern and northeastern Colorado and a small section of Denver. A heavy cloud- burst near Fort Morgan, Colo., and release of more than 1,000 cubic feet of water from Cheesman dam, tn Den- ver, caused the waters to go higher after they were reported to be reced- ing last night. In Denver a rise of two inches and breaking of a levee near Valverde a suburb, caused an increase to nearly two square miles in the flooded area tn"the bottoms of the city. Water in Places rcached a depth of 11% feet. CROP DESTRUCTION 1S COMPLETE, CLAIM. Crops were almost totally destroyed over an area approximately 296 square miles in the neighborhood of Pueblo by the recent floods, according to a report made today to military headquarters here by Capt. James G. |mud. ‘You look in vain among the de- |bris torn sign of life. Che Casper Daily Cribune Flood Retugees in Pueblo Gathered to Answer Roll Call L1QUOR. VIOLATORS ON TRIAL IN U. 5.
