ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mex., September . 26.—Muddy waters of the Rio Grande tayay, sloshed about three buildings, all | t remained of San Marcial, N. Mex,, ofce a town of 1,400. In the foothills, agross a broad expanse of flood waters h broke through dikes at San fcial, were refugees, some of whom left before the flood, and 54 who ‘were rescued yesterday by boats. ‘The 54 were marooned in the three remaining buildings—the Santa Fe Depot. Harvey House and a bank. The buildings were standing in from five to | eight feet of water. A phone line to the Harvey House was working until 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after ‘which no one answered. The Ercsumw ifon was that.all had been taken from | the flooded area by a power boat sent | o their rescue. | <5 No Grease ! Ne Smoke ! Refugees in Hills. 1 In the hills west of the new town | there are probably 200 refugees. Most | of them were without food or shelter. | ‘The older Indians in the original San | Marcial nestled on high ground and; safe from the Rio Grande River, were iving their all to ald. Thus far there been no ‘sickness, but if outside aid is not forthcoming, apprehension for | the future is felt. The Red Cross, with | the help of numerous Socorro residents, | planned to make an effort today to | reach the refugees with tents and sup- | flies, by way of Magdalena and Rose- | dale down Mulligan Gulch. Characteristic of the towns of the | gouthvnst, there were many adobe | ouses in San Marcial which crumbled | with the advent of the water. | The Santa Fe Railroad tracks were ‘washed out and a freight train upset | at San Marcial. A locomotive run up the incline of a coal chute in an effort to save it., was dumped into the flood and covered with mud, debris and coal when the water undermined the chute. | Remaining structures in San Marcial are frame buildings. Located by Aviator. An Airways pilot, flying over the town | before rescue of the 5¢ marooned per- | sons was accomplished, said they waved | frantically and, as he swooped low, ap- | peared to expect him to drop them | something. When he reached Albu-| querque and offered assistance, they had | Deen rescued, apparently, and he re- sumed his trip North. | Late last night a report was received that the water was receding and had | gone down a foot. Since communica- | tion was impossible, this report cauld[ not_be verified. HAND BAGS That PREDICT the MODE | For this season we present a new collection of glorified Hand Bags.
