HILLS FROM A CLOuDLESS SKY.
Tucson (ttlZcnI

ON SUNDAY afternoon one OF those curl
Gus phenomena Of nature occurred about
thirty miles southwest Of Tucson. and from
the description given 10y eyewitness il
WAS the largest clOudburst ever known in
this country. From Judge Il. u. Fcrgl-

O'Clock he put up at Browns Station, Ia

The sky all day was cloudlc~S, except q
thunderstorm that was observed travelling
the submits OF the Santa Catalinas and dis
appearing over the RincOns i'm the north
west. Otherwise not cloud or Napor OF
any kind was TO be seen. The sun was
shining in all his yigor. and Il, he passed Ia
the West his strength and glory seemed
undiminishcd.
At 3 o'clock Judge Ferguson resumed
his Journey toward Tucson. He had come
about five miles. when his attention was
attracted by roaring and cracking to-
ward the west, and looking up he saw a
river OF water H. big n the Santa Cruz

race and coming toward him. Telling his
driver TO halt. they stopped on top Of a
LITTLE knoll and watched the waters ~ they
violently ploughed the desert, tearing up
stones and brush. They had evidently
spent their force. After the flood had passed
by the face OF the country was dis
figured and a large gutter had been
cut across the valley. The current
came down of small range OF
low. rolling hills to the west. Although
the Judge and his companion strained
their eyes in the direction from which the
water came not cloud was to be seen
After the water had subsidized sufficiently Ia
let them pass they went on. They had
hardly gone half mile when, TO their ut.
ter establishment, there was another stream
equally rs large IL the first one. Again
they peered toward the west, a. If in hope,

five successive raging currents Were cross.

Rut all their reserve was called forth
when. four miles from where they struck
the first stream, they discovered q sixth
one. As large as all the others combined. Ii.
angry waters were waving and kissing As il
maddened al the resistance they met on the
way from the hills down TO the desert
This river was unfordable, and to cross il
was impossible, so they halted on a knoll
and watched II for two or three hours as il
boiled. and sized. and cut bed for itsel
in some places As deep az fifteen feet ano
over two hundred yards wide. II was moi
till after shutdown that they dared TO al
