<br />Facsimile article from page 8, <br />'Boulder Daily Camera, Saturday, <br /> <br />column 2, of the <br />June 4, 1921. <br /> <br />TRAIN SERVICE IS DEAD <br /> <br />. . . A survey of conditions in the district around Erie and <br /> <br />Lafayette was made by Charles F. Snow this morning and he has <br />brought back the most authentic reports sa far. Mr. SnOW left <br /> <br />Boulder early this morning with one of the members of his staff <br /> <br />for the purpose of taking pictures of the flooded district. He <br />stated that the flooded area in that distr ict var ied from a few <br /> <br />hundred feet in width to a half a mile or more. . . In Erie which <br /> <br />was put almost completely under four feet of water. the flood <br /> <br />poured through the street like a mill race. carrying away houses, <br />building, livestock, and every moveable article. One man reported <br /> <br />the loss of 26 head of cattle and several hogs and chickens. <br /> <br />Another man had just purchased a brand new piano and moved it into <br /> <br />his home. After the flood not a trace of the house or piano could <br />be found anywhere. and many miners who were living in the lOWlands <br /> <br />along the creek have nothing but their land left. In the town of <br />Erie itself several houses have been out in the street and about <br /> <br />800 feet of railroad was picked up bOdily and moved several feet <br />until it was stopped by a rOW of trees. . <br /> <br />-10- <br />
