Remarkable Phenomenon--Burstin of [
 spout--Another Deluge

Abont . o'clock, Sunday morning last there occurred, in Yuma county, in this Territory, one ot those dreadful catastrophes in Nature, known as a ewaterspontn n which. for the immense vol ume Of water csst out of it, and the terror it in- spired in those who witnessed it's mighty opera tious, is without paralled in similar phenomena. Mir James Grant, mail contractor on the La Paz and Prescott route arrived here with the mail Wednesday Inst and related to ms the following particulars He left La Paz Sunday morning. and proceeded about lf miles when he beleld a tremendous black cloud to the eastward, moving towards him from inc direction of Granite Wash. Nothing dauu.ed, he kept on his journey until arriving at the big rayinc, II miles this side Of Tysons Well-n0E Roberts Stadon-Where be found thc freight trains of Miller Brothers and Campbell Bufnm. of Prescott in badly de- moralized condition. While the wagons. or 6 part ot them were crossing the raYlne or wash, a flood of water, which came very near destroy ing the whole train r,lshed upon them, upset ting in it's mad career, one wagon. breaking two wheels and drowning four mules, three of which belonged Co Miller k Brother and one to Camp bell X BufIum. Had not the teamsters cut tLe traces and allowed the mules to get out Of the flood. every animal belonging tO both trains would have been drowned. Mr. Miller informed Mir Grant that never before had he heard such ieaUnl noses as ieht tile ar previous to anu u1
 ring the terrific bursting Of tbe mOnstrouz black cloud. Mir Grant, soon after, struck out, and
 on arriving at Henneger's valley. was confronted with the waters. which had reccded tO that place, and which were spread Odt over the immense valley. His only show t0 make time and head way was to wade into the water, which he did, and finally succeeded in getting himself, mail, and horse across the valley, distance of miles. 1 It was a dreadful visitation of Nature and We ! hope another such occurrence will never again | take place in Arizona.

Another Murder.

SAs James Martin, familiarity known in.
this District as "Sneak," was on his way
home, on Monday afternoon, (saleday) he
was shot by some persons unknown,
about four miles from the village, on the
road to Calhoun's Nlills. An inquest was
hold by Squire McCaslan, on Tuesday
morning, at which tile following facts
woro elected: Martin was riding a mule,
accompanying a wagon, in which were
two negroes and barrel Of whisky. The
whole party stopped on the outskirts OF
tue village, and divided the whisky with
some persons who had claims to portion
oft. Shortly after they left the village,
they overlook 8 third negro man, who
was allowed 10 get into tho wagon. When
they had proceeded a littlo moro than four
milos from the village, they were over
takon by throe mon on horseback, who
ordered them to stop, claiming that tho
whisky was theirs, saying at the same
time to the negroes that they did not
mean to do them any harm. They said
the same, according to the testimony of
these negroes, to Martin. Martin dis
mounted of his own accord. Ho then
commenced retreating in the direction of
the village. Two of the mon on horse
back followed him. Martin then com.
menoed running, and the men discharged
their pistols. They were all in sight Of
the negro men, who say that the men on
horseback did not shoot as if they in
ltonded to bit him. He was not hitin tho
back, MS be must have been, if these men!
had shot him. These two mon stopped
after shooting. and returned to tho wagon,
and with tho third man on horseback,
filled their bottles with whisky, and
emptied the balance in the barrel on the
ground. Very soon aftor the sound of a
pistol shot was heard but Martin was.
then out ofsight, and no one was seen on
the road. Mr.sSprouts testified that FIVE
men on horseback passed his house riding
rapidly, but he did not see them return.
A negro woman named Affy, was the
first 10 discover Martin. He was lying
on the side of the road, with his feet in a
ditch There were marks of his having
dragged himself or his having been
dragged on tho road. Lie said to the
woman: "Oh God, am shot," and told
her that hc did not know any of the men.
that he had seen. He very soon bled to
death, as lie had been shot in the groin.
and an artery had been cut. Martins
pocket-book and pistol had been taken
from him. His vile testified that he bad
taken his pistol with him. The negroes
in the wagon had pistols, but they were
not disturbed.

these circumstances, as many wrong ac-
counts of this sad affair may get abroad.
