 Sunday evening 3rd inst. about dusk thick heavy clouds were hanging i'll all directions around this place; and a storm cloud could be seen to the south working in a north westerly direction. After 1t had arrived in the neighborhood of the Cor onado mountain most frightful storm and cloud burst occurred deluglng the country for miles. The force of the storm expended itself on the Coronado divide as the flood caused tremendous washes on both sides of the range. On the north side runs Chase creek a stream that empties into the San Francisco river at this place, and up which meanders the Coronado railroad (20 inch gauge) For miles the track was washed over and the road bed covered with sand and rock which took three days to clear On the south side of the range, among numerous gulches, heads the Pinkard and Gold Clutches. All the gulches empty into Gold Gulch which emptles into Eagle river A person can only form meagre idea of the body of water that fell as Ill the Pinkard Gulch; about mile above its confluence with Gold Gulch, head of water ten feet high rushed past Geo. Phillips camp. This body of water joint ly with others went laundering down Gold Iulch and did but little damage to property on its wild maddening course. But as it rushed passed Hovey's camp, at the Refugie mine, it snatched ill its relent less pTasD the person of Robert Richler the father of Mrs. John H. HOvey, and dashed him to death, carrying the body 1 into and down Eagle river several miles | The corpse was found next day lodged in the forks of a tree.
 ] MT. Hovey was apprised next morning i by Mir. Jenkins that Eichler was missing lie proceeded to camp and learned that | the baby was found as stated above. He, Jim Randall, Alex Grant, J. k. Carty, Albert, John Higgins and others went to 1 the spot with the intention of bringing the | body in but found it horribly muhlated the head being split open and other parts bruised and mangled, and also i'll an ad- vanced state of decomposition. The coun- try being so exceedingly rough. Gm- passable for wagon) and owing to the decomposed condition of the corpse, which prevented packing the body on horse back, a grave was dug and the sor- rowful duty was performed of laying his remains to rest.
