I"*. H. Webb of Colorado (it} Recalls
FSBMSS Ben Fiekiin Flood
of 18M.
R. M. Webb, a member of the party
of Colorado City business men which
invaded* San Angelo Monday, tells a
ssjry interesting story in connection
with his experiences in this couuty
away hack in the So's. He has the
honor, If such it may be called, of
having been hemmed up during the
famous Ben Fieklin flood.
"It was on the 21st or i!-iid of
August, in the year 1881." mused Mr.
P^Webb. "when the big flood came upon
■L I was in charge of between 0""
Spuid 7000 head of sheep that belonged
§to my cousin. Ben Van Tuyl. I had
'camped for the night on the Colorado
.#*rrver, on a high and dry landing.
During the night the water kept approaching
until finally l oni-
^pletely surrounded.
"I was game to the ia>t. though,
and did not take for higher quarters
until the water wa? about two
L^$r*P- *n*en I climbed a friendly old
tree," and there I remained all nigh!.
"Without doubt it was the lor.
night I ever experienced. I had been
riding all day prior to the flood and,
was completely fagged out I was so
sleepy, in fact, that 1 was compelled
to pinch myse!1 - nd blue
order to refra fron r
