 person dreamed of. Sunday morning
 rain was falling from lenden sky
 through which no ray of sunshine pen
 etrated, and continued with scarcely an
 intermission until Tuesday. Pinal
 creek rose rapidly until on Monday
 night the volume of water surpassed
 any previous flood.
 Supervisor Patrick Shanley's family
 were again driven from their home, but the house withstood the rush of water
 and was but little damaged Below
 Shanley's the stream cut into the north
 bank until it was feared the whole up-
 per end of town would be inundated.
 Sacks filled with rocks were sunk at
 the weakest places along the bank,
 which assisted materially in checking the encroachment of the current in that direction Not vestige was left of Der
 nabe Bueno's little place, abutting on the creek opposite Adolph Haag's vine yard. Bankers old brewery property bordering on the stream for several hundred feet, was an easy prey for the flood, and fully half the lot together with the south corner of the brewery, the houses in the rear and track and trestle crossing the creek were washed away The remainder of the property is left in such an exposed condition as to greatly impair its value.
 The tremendous force of the flood is well illustrated by the fact that huge iron safe, weighing 35e0 pounds, which stood in an adooe house back of the brewery, fell into the current and was carried fully 300 feet before it found lodgment. A considerable stream forced its way through Bremen's lumber yard and the lot in the rear of his residence but did little damage. The Bailey and Kennedy lots were badly washed out, the latter, little of which re- mains,
 Here the current bore directly down upon the four houses owned by Hayer- ley, Grimes, Zschoegner and Allison, and it was soon evident that they were in great danger. Fifty or sixty men volunteered to move the houses and they were pulled forward to where it was supposed they would be safe, but the current continued to eat into the bank and despite the efforts put forth to save all the houses, those belonging to Zschoegner and Grimes were swept away The front portion of G. NJ Allison's handsome house was pulled to the opposite side of the street, and the back building WAS torn down.
 4 sand bar which formed near the center of the channel diverted the main current from the old Warnick house and Wm Mallory's pretty home, when it looked as though they would certain ly be undermined. So imminent ap- peared the danger that the Mallory family novel, and the windows and doors of the house were torn out. A portion of John Germans lot was washed away. The O. K corral build ing which the first flood left hanging over the stream, was carried away and nothing is left of the property.
 From this point the torrent kept close into the bluff until it emerged upon the fiat opposite Kinney's soda water works, where it plowed its way through Frank Beston's place. The house had been torn down and every thing portable removed, but nothing whatever was left of the large piece of gronnd AS in the first flood, Tom Pascoe's building and the Chinese houses across the alley protected the business houses below. and the damage at that point was inconsiderable. At several places occupants protected prop erty with layers of sacks filled with stones. An adobe house owned by Jim Sam, which stood we'll up on the bank, back of 5. Klein's property, was partially wrecked The current here took sharp turn, cutting away the bank in the rear of Graydon's property and approaching to within ton or fif- teen feet of the houses on the left side O. the road facing the creek. Mrs. Graydon, with rare sagacity, had the cottonwood trees follcd in front of her property and lashed securely to the bank with their branches inclined with the stream, and this undoubtedly checked the further erosion of the bank.
 Further down on the left bank the water ran dangerously near to the houses of Elijah Trengoye, Hugh Con Ghan and others. At the Carrie smell ter the end of the engine house was washed out and the slag dump split, leaving a wide crevass through it. On the opposite side of the creek Win. Caylett's pretty place was almost en- tirely destroyed, the house and few feet of the ground remaining. The wreck of the Wertman house was com pleted by the second food Much of
