Ole stuffed a wad ofsomething in my mo

sGIe stuffed wad of something IN my mouth,
and secured it by bandage brought around
and tied at the back of my neck.
''Then, compelling me to change clothing
with him, he bound me hand and foot with the
cord he had prepared, and fastened me on his
bed. Then bidding me goodnight, he tapped
at the door-my usual signal to be let out:
"I do not know if would have warned the
drowsy iailor if could. l heard Obed bid him
good might in my voice, and walk away unmo-
Tested.
''I think I was glad, could not feel sorry ;
for I had never more than half believed IN
Obed's guilt and despite the Inconvenience to
myself, I entertained secret hope that his
plan of escape might succeed.
"Of course there was a hubbub when the
sheriff and his assistants came in the morning.
Ofcourse my explanation proved satisfactory
and, of course, it would have been carrying the
doctrine of representation by attorney to an
unwarrantable extent to have hanged me In
my clients stead.
"There were some who whispered that it was
q concerted thing between Obed and myself
but nv professional standing was a sufficient
vindication against such slander."
"Ha! ha ha !" laughed an irreverent jun
ior.
The "death rattle" evoked by Mr.. Badgers
last suck at the julep, was the only reply
designed to the young mans impertinence.
"And what do you think of the case after
all?" asked Bill Quipley.
ooh, the truth came out at last Ahat
Grandy was paying me some money one day
Among the bank notes he gave me one pecu'
sliarly marked, which rememb bered having
paid to Enos Burdge on the day he disappear;
ed. I secretly procured warrant and had
Grandy's house searched. The result Was the
discovery of number of the murdered mans
effects Among them was watch he had worn
for many years, and which was readily identi'
fed
"When confronted with the proofs Of his
guilt, Ahab confessed that ne had waylaid
robbed and murdered Euos Burdge, after the
latter had received the money for his land, and
that he had buried the body at the dead o.
night where, if it should be found, suspicion
would be likely to fall upon another.
"Ahab Grandy was hanged in due time
Obed Scott, who turned up after season, was
happily married to Hettie Ward, who had new
er lost faith in her lovers innocence in spite o.
judge and jury"

The town at once pre- Sented a scene Of unusual activity, picks and shOvels being in great demand. Al } p. m. the telegraph wire went down and cut fl all chance of obtaining further in- formation of the coming water. News re- ceiVed the last few days that the whole country for seventeen miles beginning at the mesa above StanwiX and eXten ing to mesa below TeamSterS' Camp was cover ed with several feet of water, tearing away the telegraph in number of places Re ports from Gila Bend, FiIlibuster and
 Burke's stations, say the country around them was flooded. On 2lst Of January, news came that Gila City was washed away and water rapidly rising there. Pab- los was also flooded. Citizens kept watch Ut night but it was not until the evening of the 22d that the Gila commenced rising rapidly; by G:30 D. m. the water was run hing through the central portion of town, doing but little damage. During the three days of high water, b Siness was general ly suspended-the people and Storekeep- CTS removing their goods to high ground.

 About midnight of January g, a brutal murder was committed by party Of Rio Grande teamSterS on Gila street below the Colorado house. They were on & druken spree and while passing towards Colorado river, they stopped in front Of house and tried to force an entrance. The man in side came out and told them to move on i; and from words to blows, they set on him with their knives and cut him fearfuly. finishing their fiendish work by cutting his throat and dancing on his body. The murdered man succeeded in shooting one Of them-prGbably fatally-before giving up. Two of the party were arrested and another escaped to Sonora.
