the west of this, on Judge Witherspoons
lot facing Kings Mountain street, a large oak
was uprooted. The storm extended no farther
in this direction. South it extended below
Philadelphia Church, and at this point caught
a party of moonlight picnicers who did not get
home until long after midnight.
The ain continued long after the wind ceased,
falling in torrents, and overtlowingth the banks OF
the small streams. The bridge across FISHING
Creek, on the Charlotte road, was turned around
and the one on the Lincoln road at One-Mlle
branch, was also moved from it's position; but
both were replaced early the next day. Fishing
Creek and Turkey Creek were as high as at any
time during the freshcts of the summer, ana the
destruction to crops. gardens and orchards
equally as great.

Mr. EDITOR: The published report of

the report adopted by that body and read
in open Court.
NhaS been changed.
The question is, by what authority was
that report changed, and who did it? We
are under the impression that no one had
the right to make any change; much less
materially alter and add to the report mat
tiers which were never before that body.
Can you give the information toa
GRAND JUROR.
Replying to our correspondent, we have
only to say that the subject matter of the
grand jury's report, as printed in the EN-
QUIRER last week, is a rerbatim copy of the
paper handed to the Editor by the Fore
man of the grand jury. The only change
made in the report, when we prepared a
copy for the press, was in the manner of
introducing the report of the committee of
the grand jury appointed at the last term to
examine the public offices ofthe county but
we e%ndeavored to print the text of the pre-
sentiment in accordance with the directions
and explanations of the paper as given by

sustained by Mr.. Supervisor Sawyer, who
state that as the past records did not show
that any trouble had ever existed between
Mr., Sheriff Mlligan and Mr.. Sheriff Norton,
it was unnecessary to cucumber them with
explanations. Some Supervisor remarked
that if supervisor Fischer and Supervisor
Norton wanted to indulge in any mutual
admiration business, it would be better to
take some other time and place. With the
weight of this last remark bearing down up
on him, the Supervisor from Mendoza with

At meeting of the Executive
 Committee of the Colorado Cattle
 Growers Association, held in the Chamber of Commerce at Denver, on the 30th ult., the following reso- luton was adopted: Resolved, That the Executive Committee of the Colorado Cattle Growers Associa- tiOn believes 1t voices the senti- ment of every cattle raiser in Col orado and the west, in giving it's unqualified approval to the move ment for establishing cattlemen's stockyards at West St. Louis, with a view to securing market where beef cattle may be sold on their merits, where competition may be restored, and a price realized by the producer, to bear the proper rela- tion to that paid by the consumer. We do not complain that the cost of beef to the consumer Is not enough, but that it is unreasonably 1 high as compared to the price paid to the producer. As the manage ment of the proposed yards is to be in the hands of cattle raisers, ! we commend the enterprise to cat tlemen of the west, and ask for their hearty support.

Commissioner Sparks in his an
 nual report has the following in re-
 gard to the private land claims in Arizona ''The total number of pri- vate land claims registered in the office of the Surveyor General of Arizona is eighteen, of which four teen have hitherto been reported to Congress. In one of these cases, viz, the Tres Alamos, involving a claimed area of 44,386 acres, the Surveyor General has made a thor ough investigation and recommends it's rejection as invalid. He has also reported that it is impossible to To- cate and survey the alleged grant for the reason that the description
 'is too indefinite and vague to per init of intelligent survey" In a report made to this officer the Sur veyor General says: T am fully convinced that all efforts to arrive at a just and intelligent conclusion in regard to land grant based on the existing records is time and la bor wasted in Q great measure" 1 am compelled to come to the con clusion thatS most of these grants have only been superficially exam ined, and the evidence as to their validity, better calculated to de- ceive' and lead the investigator astray than to assist him in his la bors. The claimants of these grants. as a rule, are wealthy men, with long experience in the business, and I fear some of them are not over scrupulous in using their means and ability to the detriment of the government, and unless they can be met with honest and laborious efforts on the part of the govern ment I fear the interests of the gov will suffer.

The Florence Enterprise says a rumoe to the effect that the Atch- ison, Topeka and Santa Fe com pany is backing the Arizona Cen tral railroad enterprise is current ill the northern part of the Terri tory. If the rumor is not without foundation, it means great deal for this section. We know that the company aforesaid at one time contemplated the construction of a feeder from Benson to the Atlantic and Pacific, passing down the San Pedro to the Gila, then down the Gila to Florence, across the mesa to Phoenix, and thence to Prescott and Ash Fork. This feeder is named in the charter of their So- nora road. Knowing these facts, we are inclined to believe there is some truth in the rumor.

The express company's books show slight falling off in the bull ion shipments of Arizona, but this shrinkage is more than offset by the shipment of concentrations and ores. There are 100 chloriders at work to-day where there was one last year, and it is safe to say that at least fifty times more ore has been shipped from the Territory this year than was shipped during 1885. Hence, Arizona's yield of the precious metals has not de- creased, even though the bullion shipments are not so large as form erly. Let mining capitalists make a note of this fact. and be not mis- led by the express company's fig ures.-Florence Enterprise.

A Dallas, Texas, dispatch of the 29th ut. says J. F. Sheppard, of the National Stock Yards, East St. Louis, is here looking after the in terest of the Western cattle ship pers, and he finds the outlook grow ing more encouraging every day, notwithstanding the blockade at Colorado City, which is a state. of affairs that has never before occur red, from the fact that there never was time in the history of Texas cattle shipping when everybody
 wanted to ship at once. No road has enough cars to move the cattle all at the same time, but in order to relieve the blockade the roads are borrowing all the stock can from connecting roads, and Mir. Sheppard thinks it will only be a few days before the cry for more cars at Colorado City will be heard no more. NIT. Sheppard repeated
 that the Texas cattlemen have an encouraging prospect before them.
