flow of waters to subside before they re- turn. Howard Herring has been down to look at the place where the railroad was and where the river now is, and says that words are inadequate to de- scribe the wholesale changes made in the valley by the flood. The washouts are something enormous and 1t will pro- bably be a month before all necessary repairs are made on the road. A cu- rious instance of animal hindsight is re- ported from Ochoaville. When the storm was at it's heIght terrific fall of hail began and several burros, which were near the river, put their heads be- tween their front legs as far as their ears would permit, faced the gale and slowly and deliberately walked into the river where it was twenty feet deep. They were all drowned, and whether it was a case of deliberate suicide or pure cussed- ness is mystery, Anyhow, they will will never repeat the performances Tombstone Epitaph.
 From Eugene Middleton, who spent a portion of the week in Globe, we learned more of Charley Lange's perilous expe- rience in the cloud-burst at Kane Springs. The water struck the stage just above the box canyon, to avoid which the road makes a sharp turn. Lange, together with the horses and ve- hicle, were carried by the water into the canyon and over two lodges oi rock, each about fifteen feet high. Lange was forced along by the flood two hundred yards and landed in bush almost strangled, and his escape from drown ing was certainly miraculous. Most of his clothing and pair of congress gait CTS were stripped from his body in the descent through the canyon. A passen- ger coming to Globe, was hurled by the water on to the road above, out of reach of the flood, and thankful for his escape, he turned back lest some greater calam- itv might befall him.-Silver Belt.
 The pile driver on the N. M. & A. road is working night and day to repair the washed out bridges along the road. Work is necessarily slow owing to the continued high water which is augment ed each night by heavy showers. A detachment of troops from Huachuca, who have been scouting the country in search of Indian signs, passed through Tombstone to-day, on their return to their post. They report having seen nc sign. The troops stationed at Bisbee have been ordered back to their quar- ters and will pull up stakes tomorrow John Dart returned yesterday from Sonora by way of Bisbee. He reports much damage over the line by floods. Many of the ranches are under water, and at Fronteras large number ol houses were washed away. No lives were lost so far as he knows.

The roads are impossible in many places, making travel impossible unless on horseback. The detachment of cavalry under command of Lieut.. Harrison, which camped in Tombstone day before yester- day, returned last night after vainly try ing to cross the river on their way to Fort Huachuca. Being out of provisions they were obliged to return to Tomb stone. They had with them thirteen scouts belonging to Lieut.. Clark's com pany which they will turn over to him when they find him. The wires being down and the river impossible, it may be some tune before they find the object of their search who is supposed to be al Huachuca-Prospector.
