l CASA GRANDE, Aug. 12, 1889.
 After days of stormy weather the sun at last shines out more clearly, the sky is less overcast with clouds, the few re- maining being white and heecy; last night was star-lit and whoever slept outside slept undisturbed by fierce winds and rains that have of late kept people indoors, or driven them in if an attempt was made to sleep out. The country yet is almost impossible in some directions, while in others, though there are miles of water to pass through it is not deep. Towards Sweetwatsr and Sacaton the valley of the Santa Cruz is swept by deep and rapid stream. Trains are again running with some de- gree of regularity, and delayed mail coming in. The last detention of trains occurred on Saturday-the passenger train coming in from the west remain ing until the next day when it proceed ed on its way. Among the delayed pas sengers were Gov. Wolfiey and Hon. J. A. Blackiwho passed time pleasantly with old time acquaintances. Saturday evening violent storm passed ever the place, and the electrical display being remarkable. Lightning struck in sev- eral places, several feeling severe shocks. One house, Mr. Bien's, was struck and considerable damage done to the walls, breaking the glass in door, tearing the base board across the grain, and injur- ing the wall paper. A Mrs. McCullock was struck, her limbs and one side suf. fering partial paralysis from which she she has recovered. Although, consid- ering how many received severe shocks, the escapes from instant death is re- markable.
 Little Lilly Gibson. daughter of Dave Gibson, of Florence has been very sick. Mrs. Al Richeson with whom she has 8 home, gives her a mothers care. The child's father was sent for, and arrived last night, finding her recovering from her attack.
 People lu town owning homes are hay ing their ground plowed preparatory to planting out trees which will arrive in October or November from the East. After the rains the grounds is in fine condition for cultivation. The growth of vegetables has been wonderful for the last week or so.
 The fiesta at Florence is in progress and attracts people from 8 distance, many of whom are passing through Casa Grande on their way thither.
 MT. Craig, mining man, has recently arrived and gone out to the Golden West mine of which he is to take charge. It is expected operations will soon Es gin on that property.
 MT. White, superintendent of the 1roncap mines, Colorado, Is here look ing at the Reward mine in the interest of a Colorado Company. His son who has had charge of the Atlas mine has left Arizona and is on his way to California. Mir. Hastings takes his place.
 Chris and John Loss are expected daily. Hoisting works have arrived for the Central Silver mine, of which John Loss is superintendent.
 MT. Vosburgh, formerly agent for W. r. & O., at Globe passed through recently on his way to Los Angeles, summoned by news of the sudden | death of his wife in Santa Monica.
 MT. Hitchcock, druggist, of Globe has | returned from California where he has been visiting his wife who is spending | the summer months there. The road l to Globe has been impossible for teams | since the heavy rain, but it has been possible for travellers to reach that place | by way of the mule trail from Silver | King.
 Miss Anderson from San Pedro went l through here to Santa Paula, California, | but was detained day on account Of | washout.
 MT. and Mrs. Berbrige, of Nogales | proceeded on their way to Florence | after stay of nearly two weeks in Casa Grande.
 Commercial travellers are once more with us, the barbingers of cooler | weather and increase of travel and more | business.
 There has been much complaint of dull times and of money being scarce, but no more so than elsewhere, from all accounts. Prospects however are good for the future and times will improve ere long.
 The stage is late probably on account of roads: Four hsrses are used instead of two. 4s .a
