A terrible storm of wind and
rain visited Ehrenberg, Arizona,
on the night of August 10th, and
everybody was more or less dam
aged. A number of houses and
corrals were washed away into the
Colorado river. The steamboat
company's corral was washed
away; also, about 100 hides that
were awaiting shipment. Many of
the latter were recovered the next
day down the river by crew of
Indians under Agent Burke. The
water was three or more feet deep
in all the streets running toward
the river. A large number of
empty barrels were washed out of
Bryan's blacksmith shop and
hoated away. Ramon Valencia
started to cross q street, with q |
long rope tied to him, but was
struck by a wall of water and
washed half way down to the
river before the slack of the rope |
could be hauled in by his friends. |

A friend Of ours last night told US
the following singular fact in real
life: For the past ten years a gen.
tleman has been courting lady in
San Francisco, and everything
went smoothly with the procrasti-
mating couple. The other day the
iilatory lover handed his fiancee
$50, with which to buy some arti.

though the appointed day has
come and gone, he has not since
been seen.
During his trip to the up-coun-
try, MIR. l.. J. Rose not only scored
a successful race at Sacramento and
encountered Mr.. Beecher, but he
sold for 81, 500 three of his famous
colts to Mr.. A. Newlands. One Of
the three was yearling, by Inca,
and the other two were two year
olds, by the Moor. We are glad to
note that Mr.. Roses fine stud is
into general and favorable
estimation abroad.
