Toledo, indicate a rainfall of varying se-

noon to-day. This afternoon it was rain

ice in the Auglaize at Defiance, O., broke
up this afternoon. A gorge formed, but
soon gave way and at the latest report the
river was rising rapid at that point, and
overlooking the banks in East Defiance.
At South Toledo the river rose two feet the

still rising with indications of the
ice giving way. Property along the
river front here has been secured
as far as possible against food.
The Sandusky river at Fremont is rising

rounding a point, coming down grade,
the cut was narrow and the lead horses
on a dead pull threw the wagon of the
grade and down an embankment sever
al feet high. The dryer was in the
saddle on the whee, horse. The wagon
carried with it the wheel horses. driver
and all. The driver. Mr.. Pickerell, had
his leg broken Just above the ankle.
Some Of the merchandise was woefully
d~emorallzed. and two cases of giant
powder In the load were absolutely
crushed. Broken sticks and lattened
sticks of giant were picked up and it is
almost a miracle that conclusion did
not explode the giant and ~annihilate
wagon, team, and attendants. Polk
Armstrong who came in with the
freight Wednesday afternoon is happy
in the fact that he looks upon the out
come of the accident a a piece of good
fortune.
Captain Blain, known throughout
the west as a daring government scout,
was n of the first men in this range,
on the trail of the murderous Apache.
In n of his earlier trips he found, on
the hill above Chloride a watch, which
he regards with q sort of sacred re-
verence on account of the facts con-
nected with its discovery, which are
too long to relate. He calls 1.-THE Phan-
tom watch. There Is nothing like 1t in
this camp, nor any other. 1t was made
long before the aztecs had anything to
do with the country, as the workman
ship would evince. There Is not a par
ticle of gold or silver about it, and still
he was offered large sums for it. He is
afraid to sell it. He has a sort of SUI
perstitious reverence for it and thinks
1t will be a prop to his old age. He pro-
poses to will to the government at his
death, rather than bis children. Joe
Dandy has tried to buy it for his broth
er Blue.
An accident at the Royal Arch mine
on last Saturday, was attended with
quite a serious result. The pump was
out of order, and 1t was ordered to
raise the piping. The pump was set
about 80 feet from the bottom of the
shaft, and anchored to a platform in
the man.hole. Mr.. James Taylor was
on this platform, and when the steam
was applied to the engine, it came with
a jerk dislodging the pipe and raising
the platform, precipltatlng Mr.. Taylor
to the bottom, and breaking n of his
arms. But for the water IN the bottom
of the shaft he would doubtless have
been killed outright. Mr.. j. II. Drake
who went up on Sunday to run the en-
CINE. came back Monday bringing tht
facts above stated, and also states thai
the Royal Arch will be closed dowr
permanently.

Attention is directed to the call for
an election on the 10Th instant for the
organization of a school district in pre-
cinct number twenty. This district en-
braces all that country lying south of
a line running equi-distant between
Chloride and Robinson, west of a line
north and south equi-distant from
Cuchillo Negro, and Chloride north of
Dona county and east of the Mogollon
mountains. There is a large tract of
country in this district, and next year
the revenue for school purposes will
be considerable.

here last Saturday, met with quite a
mlshap on the road just above TESTS
near Cuchillo town. The team was
