Show HEAVY GALE CAUSES DAMAGE IN SEVERAL TOWNS OF COLORADO PUEBLO, Colo., March 26. A terrific windstorm, reaching the proportions of a gale, prevailed here since early this morning. Huge clouds of dust and sand in the downtown streets kept them practically clear of pedestrians. Street traffic was badly crippled and wires in all directions 'were down. In Colorado Springs the same conditions condi-tions prevailed. The lose from broken plate glass and the destruction of small frame-buildings, awnings and signs will amount to a considerable sum. At 11 o'clock the wind was blowing with a velocity of seventy-two miles an hour. |
