A Big Frsshet Coming Down the River.
Look Out for Bridges
Special Telegram to the Statesman:
MARBLE FALLS, April PA red rise Is
now coming down lhs Colorado river, and
a very heavy drift is running. Owners of
bridges below had better be on their
prard. Wolf Crossing and other points
above here have reported twentythree to
twcnty-six feet, and still rising. The lake,
which is above the falls, usually so placid,
has a tremendous current running through
il. At this writing, p. M, there is
depth of thirty six inches measured water
Oh the upper falls. To account for this
set ming discrepancy between twenty
five foot rise few miles above here and
a three foot rise On the falls, it will only
be necessary Cor those versed in such
matters to take into consider
alton the increased width of
the river bed at the falls and watch the
fearful flow of the mighty torrent as 1t
goes over them. Il seems to your cor
res pendent that these peculiarltits,
coupled with the fact that the bottom end
sides of the channel are solid adamant and
immovable as we'll as indesiructable,
would compel the attention of capitals 5
and manufacturers looking for good in
vestments.

dens and small grain crops beyond per

and look at the big, fine hides here, and
see them when split into two sides OF

sample, worth five or six dollars, the
other absolutely worthless by being

SELLING RACE HORSES.
A Prominent Patron of the Turf Dispos'
ing of Stock.

SAN FRANCIsco, April 25.-Mr. q. r.
Haggin, owner of Que of the largest racing
establishments in the country, has an
nounced his intention of disposing of his
entire stock of yearling thorouRhbreds in
New York toward the latter part of June.
The horses will be sent to New York
about June l, and will be the first of the
regular annual sales of yearlings from
Hage in's ranch.
Being interrogated as to whether this
action would lead to his retirement from
the turf, Mr.. Haggin replied that it would
probably end with such a result, but that
his retirement would be gradual, as there
we're large number of older horses on his
ranch ard in his training stables which
are entered heavily in all the principal
states.
At eastern racing stables Mr.. Haggln
stated that he intended to dispose OF all
of his yearlipg stock, as, if he reserved any
yearlings, buyers might believe that he
had kept the best colts for bis own stable
and that he had no idea of purchasing
young stock at other annual sales for mere
racing purposes.
