DETAILS OF THE DISASTER.

A Tornado Could Have Made No Cleaner
sweep-Loss of life Over Sixty.
PRESCOTT, Ariz., Feb. GA messen-
ger has arrived here from the scene of
the recent disaster at the Walnut Grove
dam with a list of the lost as far as
known and a partial list of the survivors.
Sheriff O'Neill in a letter by this mes.
senger writes as follows:
Rouark's Ranch, Feb. "a.
The scene of desolation along Hassay-
ampa below sites of dams is complete.
Tornado could not have made such COM
plete wreck. For miles waters turned
loose by breaking of dams have filled bed
of creek with bodies, and with enormous
boulders, trees and every other kind of
debris. Following thirty-eight names
are partial list of drowned: (Here fol-
lows list of names.) Besides these men,
toned some twelve or fifteen miners
who were placer mining between the
upper and lower dam, with a number Of
ranchers along the stream, are missing,
and when all the casualties are ascer-
tanned the entire loss will probably be
between fifty and sixty lives.
No victims were wounded: all were
drowned. The flood struck the lower
dam at 1850 p. III. Five minutes later
the headquarters five miles below was
swept away. Several persons We're at
both points watching, but no%twithstand-
ing this p%recaution the number of men
drowned at the first point was over
thirty, and those who escaped did so
with only what they had on their backs,
many only in their night clothes. Early
on the evening of the 21st a courier,
William Akard, was sent from this up
per to the lower dam to warn the resi-
dents at the latter point that the former
structure was in danger of breaking
but owing to the storm and darkness he
could not keep ahead of the flood, and
lost his life in trying to cross the Hassa-
yampa within view of the survivors of
the camp he had tried to save. Charles
Thompson, a courier, who has just az
rived from below Wickcnburg and who
lost his ranch above the lower dam, re-
ports that nine bodies have been discov-
cred at Wickenburg and three above, in
addition to those already discovered.
The old historic Brill ranch. with all
other ranches along the river, has been
entirely swept away.

PRESCOTT. Ariz., Feb. 24.-The fine,
large storage dam built across the Has
sayampa river by the Walnut Grove
Water Storage company two years ago
at a cost of $500, 900 gave way under the
great pressure of a heavy flood and
swept everything before it. Forty per-
sons are known to have lost their lives.
A the town of Wickenburg, thirteen
miles below the dam, was on the same
stream, great fears are entertained for
the safety of that town, but as there is
no Geographic communication no news
has yet been received. The service dam
of the company, located fifteen miles
below the reservoirs, and fifteen miles
of fume just approaching completion,
were swept away. Altogether the COM
pany has spent 100000 on the enter
prise of storing the water. The ny
draulic mining machine had arrived,
and they expected to commence opera
tions next week. The dam which held
the waters back was ITO feet long at the
base and 400 feet at the top. 1t was 40
feet at the base and ten feet at the top,
forming a lake three miles in length by
th%ree-fourths of a mile wide and 10
feet deep. Lieut.. Brodie, in charge
Of the work, was absent at Phoenix SUI

The North Dakota Republican says
that all talk of a revival of the lot.
terry scheme to raise revenue by the
present legislature is bosh. No
doubt many would like to have it
called up again, but Senator Spencer,
who represents the company, has no
intention of pushing the matter here.
1t is quite probable that Montana will
catch on to the scheme and legalize
the company in that state and take
the revenue to be derived from it.
In that case the $l50,OOO now sent
out of North Dakota to louisiana will
be sent to Montana, but the escutch.
of our state will be safe and the
morals of u people will remain in
statu quo. Judge Corliss won't re.
sign OF refuse to receive his salary

THE tariff views of Il. V. Powderly
are worth repeating us coming from
one of the foremost friends of labor
in the United States. He says: Il am
a high tariff nan and. a protectionist.
and for the reason that l am an
American and Il friend of American
laborers. No workingman has ever
called for Il reduction, and no reduce
ton should be made until it is de-
manded by the people. We need no
tariff tinkering. We want protection
from one end of the country to the
other. Touch not the tariff, raise the
tariff so high that not a single article
of foreign manufacture can come
to it."
