HAVOC CAUSED BY WIND.

Twelve Immense .Smokestacks Are Lifted Into the Air. Puebi.o, Col., March B.— Pueblo was the scene of a remarkable freak of the wind Tuesday evening. During a comparative calm a whirlwind of large size descended at the steel works of the Colorado Fuel & Iron company and tore from their foundations twelve iron smokestacks 40 feet high and 2 feet in diameter, lifting some of them as high as 30 feet. The huge iron cylinders were scattered in all directions. The wind continued its course working havoc in a space 10 feet wide for 800 feet before it§ energy was spent.
