 MINNIE J. HART, Sec'y.
 Sheriff Kel,on went over to his ranch yesterday and while he stopped to water his horse in the middle of the river, the animal got his foot onto the kimball jack which was loose, and pulled the bridle over his head. The sheriff jumped out of the buggy into the water to grab the horse's head but was rewarded with kick in the thigh while the frightened animal started for the opposite bank, tipred the buggy over and circled around the country until he was satisfit d. The buggy was seemingly all right in the running gear and the sheriff started for home. About three miles from town the shafts broke loose and the horse drag ged him about a half mile. Hassel- gren's wagon came along a few min- utes later and brought the unlucky officer to town.
 Two men who were recently ordered out of Tombstone were brought back last night from Fairbank upon word being sent from there that they were creating a disturbance. Deputy Me- Guirk brought them up and they will have hearing as soon as the princi- pal witnesses get around. The cause of the high water at many points on the Colorado, Gila and at Clifton is due to the warm weather, which has melted the snow in the mountains.
 The Yuma board of trade has ap- pealed to Los Angeles for aid for the flood sufferers.
 It was expected that the western mail, which has been tied up for ten days, would come through to-day, but our citizens were disappointed again. We are promised feast for to mor- row.

 MT. Rosenberg, of Benson; is in town.
 The two disturbers of the peace at Fairbank were brought before Justice Alvord this noon and sentenced to thirty days each in the county jail. Their names are H. Donahue and w. E. McBride.
 Not entirely through the fault of the PRosPEcToR, mention of the name of Miss Minnie Hart as the "Deestrick Skule Teacher" was omitted from the programme of exercises at the Scheiffe- lin Hall last Friday night. We make amend by breaking our resolution not to make special mention of any parti- cipant by according to Miss Hart the well earned reputation of having sus- tained her character in a manner which called forth words of praise from every one in the audience.
