RISING WATERS.
Breaks in the LeYeeS Followed by Damage
10 Farms.

SACRAMENTO, March 4.-This morning
the river was running strong and full At
midnight last night the gauge at Yolo
bridge showed 2612 feet, from which hour
it kept rising until $50 o'clock, when it
stood at % feet inches. the highest point
vet attained for the season. At that hour
the volume became too great and the leyee
on the \ olo side, about half a mile below
Washington, gave way 10 the mighty pres
sure and break OF three rods occurred In
the Conrad levee. The water apparently
had undermined the foundation, for the new
embankment gave way at once and appeared
to be upliit-d. The current rushed madly
through the break and speedily widened it,
letting more and more of the water spread
out into fields, TO the destruction of crops
and possible harm TO houses and fences.
At Washington the school was dismissed
and the little ones hidden TO hasten home.
The north side Of the track is thought to be
safe from food. The leyee along which the
track is constructed in itself affords pretty
fair protection until the secUnd trestle is
reached.

for any additional rainfall. Telegraph COM
munication from this city was restored yes

railroad communication for several months,
the bridge OF the Maric0pa and Phoenix
Railroad being washed out across Salt River.
and the bridge across tue ella being rem
dered useless by the change in the river chan
mel of the Phoenix and Salt rivers.
The val. ey is but little injured by tine
flood. Some adobe houses of slight value
are destroyed. The heaviest damage was
to the railroad company and canals. Nearly
all the mountain streams became torrents
and many small farms were destroyed. The
Hassayampa was higher than during the
time the Walnut Grove dam broke last year.
The only persons known TO have been lost
during the food III this vicinity were several
Pima Indians.
John Kennedy, one Of the heaviest stock
owners OF the Territory, lost his life yeSter-
day while Srdfng the Verde River. He had

Reed,s Decapitated Joke.

A story comes from Chicago of Opc p.
Reed, the syndicate writer. with whose
name the reading public is now familiar. A
couple of years ago Opie was employed on
the Cleveland Ohio Leader as editorial
writer under the late Samuel Cowles. The
humorous vein which has made Reed ia
nous was strong in him then, but Cowles
was man utterly devoid of any sense of
humor. Opie was therefore often checked in
his fancies, but circumstance arose at last
which seemed to call for IL humorous ed
itorial Re went to work with will, and
during the day he turned out good three
quarters of column of what he considered
an exceedingly funny article. A few hours
later the proof was deposited on Mr.. Cowles'
desk He read it carefully, with something
of a scowl upon his features, and asked :
"Who wrote this rot?"
"Mr Reed" was the reply.
"Well, il may be good joke. but no joke
is worth that much space in newspaper"
grumbled the old editor as ne reached for
his scissors. Then running his eye down
tile proof-sheet until he found a period in
the middle OF the article he cut the joke in
two. In this form it appeared ON the fol-
lowing day, and Reed resigned. The read
ers of the Leader never learned the whole
of Reeds joke.
