Suspect sabotage in locomotive explosion near Denver
Denver and Rio Grande Western officials say a giant $150000 locomotive exploded during rush hour injuring 25. They weigh possibilities from sabotage to low water pressure though others discount the water theory. Hostler George Ehalt, injured, said instruments showed all in order as the engine came apart near shops in a factory district.

Industrial City Faces Water Supply Crisis and Negotiations
City officials met in the mayor’s office to address a persistent water shortage as the refinery and Amarillo Cotton Oil seek to discontinue city water. The cotton oil mill would lose fire protection unless a new main is built about 1,000 feet long at a cost between 4000 and 5000 dollars, with the plant offering to pay half.
