Prospectors Were Caught in Cloudburst in
Texas
San Antonio, Texas (Special). News
has just been received here of a terrible
disaster Presidio county, near the
Rio Grande ri Thirteen men who
were prospecting for cinnibar lost their
lives in floods caused by a waterspout
or cloudburst.
€ men were in two parties camped
one mile apart in a dry ravine known
as Alaminto creek, in which there had
been no water for 15 months on account
of the drought. They were asleep at ¢
o'clock. There was a cloudburst several
miles up the ravine. A volume of water
20 feet high washed down the channel
of the ravine and swept over the men in
the two camps before they were aware
of their danger. All were drowned, and
only six bodies have been recovered.
