For several weeks past there have been a number of rumors current here regarding the Francklyn Cat tie Company and it's management. From MT. Tyng, a gentleman whom we have every confidence in, and who evidently exercises great eau ton in his remarks, we learn that he has been sent here to investigate the affairs of the above company for the satisfaction of parties in- terested in New York. He says that the managers report, sent in the latter part ot May last shows 56,OOO head of cattle, less 14.OO0 contracted for sale, to be in the possession of the company. MT. Tyng has ridden the company's range thoroughly the past few weeks and has come to the conclu- sion that there are not more than 5000 cattle on said range. The discrepancy between the report and the fact as developed by MT. Tyng led the latter gentleman to ask Mir. Groom where the 42,OOO cattle were. He was answered: "We have them. Count them. They are scattered from the Territory to the Pecos, and from Parker county to Colo rado !"-Texas Pahandle.

A. A. Ward, a well-known cattle man of the Tonto country, says the Phoenix Gazette, died at his resi- dence in this city about two o'clock Saturday afternoon. He came to Arizona about five years ago, and in partnership with his brother, who lives at Oroville, California, embarked in the business of stock raising in Tonto Basin, and was quite successful therein. He also invested somewhat in property in our city. MT. Ward was about 62 years of age at the time of his death, which was very sudden. Last even- ing he was attacked with appoplexy having suffered a stroke previously. He was taken home, carefully nursed and attended by a physi- clan, but the result was inevitable.

 A special dispatch from Dallas, Texas, of the 18th instant says J. M. Dawson returned yesterday from a visit to his ranch in the Pecos Valley. MT. Dawson was very blue and told a tale of terrible drouth all over the west. He being asked to give little light on a much dis cussed matter, he says that from the west into New Mexico and Ari- zona, and from point 150 miles south of the line of the Texas and Pacific Railroad to the Red River on the north, the country is burned up, and that with the exception of a slight rain at Abilene and again between Colorado City and Big Springs, which were too light to do any good, there has been no rain at all in the west recently, and that if there are no big rains within the thirty or forty days all the stock will die. He says there are both grass and water in this stricken re- zion, but where there is grass there is no water, and where there is wa ter there IS no grass. Many ranch men on the plains are trying the experiment of digging wells, and in several instances have reported success. As to his own cattle, Mir. Dawson says they are in very thin order, and beginning to die, and if does not rain they are all bound to die. The crops are failuresin many localities of the west, and accord ing to MT. Dawson there is about to be suffering among the people as well as among the cattle. The cat tlemen who are able to do so are removing their stock to greener pastures. The Texas and Pacific Railroad on yesterday transported eighty-five car loads of cattle from the west to Fort Worth, where they were transferred to the Fort Worth and Denver road, to be taken to points on and to grass on the route of that road.

Seven families, driving about $50 head of cattle, from Comanche county, passed through town Tues day on their way to New Mexico, looking for green fields and pas lures new. It looks to us as if they were going out of the frying pan into the fire. There is no doubt but that the Panhandle and New Mexico are already overstocked with cattle. and parties who drive cattle into that region not only place themselves in bad box, but injure the prospects of those who own the land by depriving their cattle of the grass. After such 8 drouth as that country has cxpe- rienced during the past spring there is going to be but little grass for winter feed at best, and stockmen who drive there now ire doing 9 bad job.-Colorado (Tex.)

A Columbia, Kansas, dispatch of July 18th says the drouth is more severe than at any other point in our State, so far as can be learned from personal observation or hear say. The fine prospects for corn a few days ago have been supplanted by utter hopelessness. Grass has dried up so that it cracks under foot like dried straw. Stock is suf- fering for both feed and water. This usually thriving city of 2,500 is paralyzed, as far as business is concerned; the immediate future is contemplated with dread. and most alarming auguriss are fully justified by the present. Wells and cisterns have given out and water for all purposes is hauled from a distance and peddled from house to house. The situation all through this re- zion of the State is desperate and the outlook most discouraging.
