LIP THE RIVER

Fred Miller came down from the Pot Holes yesterday and says that the Colorado river rose seven feet on Wednesday. Before that the river had risen only foot The river yesterday had fallen nve feet, and was going down rapidly. This heavy rise probably came out of Bill Williams Fork helped by the Big Sandy, as these two streams and their tributaries drain all the country to the north and west of Prescott. Parties in from Castle Dome saythat the high'.water passed there on Tuesday. The water pro- bably set back from the Gila for eight or ten miles. The effects ot the high water might have caused q set back in the Colorado for fifteen to eighteen miles, but as the river has a fall Of sixteen inches to the mile the force of the Gila rise could not have reached more than that distance.

 HOW WE LIVE.
 The mass of the people are on the mesa, every house standing is open to the sufferers, but when 261 houses are down, not in the dust, but in the water and each house on the average had , inhabitants. The result is that each house standing has from 40 to 75 human beings in it and as many more around 1t. With liberal hearts I;those who have houses and food are doing all they can, for those who are destitute. Not only are the houses, sheds, corrals, stables and every other shelter full, but hundreds are on the mesas and hills, living as best they can, only hoping and praying that the floods may reach no higher. In the midst of the losses, sorrow, and destitu- tion solemnly tolls the church bell, about all that is left of Yuma calling the people to duty and tc prayer.

HOW THE WATER ROSE.

At 7 o'clock Sunday morning there was not drop of water in the Long Tressel slough. At l2;S0 'the water was 12 feet deep. This slough IS l,550 feet wide. The top of the tres sel is 24 feet above the ground. Yesterday the water was two rect above the top of the track on the tressel. This slough is believed to be the old bed of the Colorado river. The old Indians say that in the days gone by, no one knows when the resi- dents of Yuma made tunnel through the hill between the prison and old Fort Yuma. The floods came and cut down the hill and in the great fiood of l7OO or thereaboutg the river changed to where 1t is now. Whether true or not the story is not one to be laughed at and it may be true, prob ably it is.

WHO REMEMBERED YUMA.

First of all was our old friend, resi- dent of times gone by In Yuma, Frank P. Sergeant of Indianapolis, lnd., one of the chiefs of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen, in message says: "Sent you s2O."
 sach Bros. & Go. telegraphed Gan dolfo & Sanguinetti $50.
 Los Angeles sends $500. Thanks to such men as Messrs. Wells, Work man, Pook and many others whose names are not in mind or at hand just now. These representative men of Los Angeles who met the Pennsyl- vanias royal tourist train when here, can be depended on, and we say as did the old Gladiator, "He is my friend who stands by in the hour of need"
 w. s. Sturgess of Tucson sent our sufferers $50. Within a short time the people of Yuma gave $500 in cash to relieve the suffering. No one refused. Every one gave what he could or what he thought was right. All deserve thanks and the sufferers are moye thankful, because they re alize from whence came their helP in this, their time Of need.

PASSED OVER THE RIVER.

The only life lost in the flood so far as now known was poor Gus Lee. Just before night his friends called him to leave his room. He did not come out. A few minutes after Sheriff Nugent and Deputy Burke broke open the door and poor Gus was floating in the water still alive and breathing. He was taken at once to the store of Abe Frank and medical attendance called, but of no use. Poor Gus was dead.

THE WATER SHED.

Almost every drop of water that falls in Arizona, except little garden spot in the south east corner, finds it outlet in the Colo rado and must pass under the Yuma railroad bridge or in the val ley near it. In a territory cover ing an area as large as all of New England. The water is no small item. True Arizona IS a dry coun- try, When the rains do come the bulk of tho water finds it level in our valleys and mesas, but when Julius Pluvius opens his great bottle, the floods come and all must stand from under.

THE RESCUE.

People living in the valley of the GiIa little thought of the danger that awaited them Thursday when the waters rolled down on thenn. AS a result they had to climb to the house tops When this was known, railroad agents Farrell and Fogarty took an engine crossed the bridge and took a boat and p to 50 able hearts and hands vent and rescued the flood bound. "Pete The Greek" came ashore on his little raft below town. So far as can be ascertained only one life was lost, and that was poor Gus Lee.

The First League Game Won by the
shamrocks-Gaeiics' Victory.
The teams of the Shamrock and the
Farley Emmett Football Clubs Of this
city met on Sunday at Erastina, Staten
Island, In the first OF the series of games
for the championship of the recently
formed Football League. Being the first
match under the league rules 1t attracted
a large audience. Many members OF the
other league clubs were present to famil-
iarize themselves with the new features
and restrictions They witnessed an earn
est battle In the first half OF the game
both teams fought SO vigorously that the
ball was kept almost constantly i'll the
middle of the field. Only hve points
were scored in this half. The Shamrocks
secured and the Farley Emmets 2. In
the last half the Shamrock team demon
strated its superior staying qualities.
Their rivals appeared to have been
fatigued by their vigorous work in the
first half. the Shamrocks rushed with
as much spirit as at the start, and kept
the ball in the territory of their rivals.
The latter made several brilliant spurts,
but could not stop defeat. The Sham
rocks secured goal and 6 points i'll the
last half and their opponents made a
solitary point The score for the game
was:-Shamrock, goal and points:
Farley-Emmets, points. After the. game
refreshments were served to the players
aud their friends, aud felicitious adj
dresses were made by President NJ. J..

The Grubb Boom Collapse.

The Grubb Boom Collapse.
OF all the absurd anti-climaxes ever
heard of, the Grand Grubb reception
was about the worst. 1t was brought
about as low as such thing could be
when Captain Jack Graham was tho
only spokesman who could be found
to make the address of welcome. We
have nothing against Jack Graham.
He is respectable, well meaning
man, a good enough Republican as
Republicans go; but to make him
spokesman, of party to welcome the
United States Minister to Spain, the
would-be leader of New Jersey Repub-
ncanism-really it was to turn the
whole affair into farce or worse. 1t
was an insult to General Grubb and
an offence to the public sense of pro-
priety.
Now, what was the reason Of this
strange collapse. Was it that courage
failed the notables who were under
stood as leading in the Grubb move
ment? We're they ''called down"
from Republican headquarters, or did
the habit of subjection to their bosses,
which is second nature with Repub-
licans, overmaster them in the long
hours of waiting for the Generals ar
rival?
Whatever the cause, the effect is
certain enough. 1t leaves the anti
Sewell movement like collapsed bal
loon. A faction in which not one man
Of any standing could be induced to
come to the front and do the talking
certainly cannot amount to much.

The news that Alikhanoff is likely
to be hanged as spy in Afghanistan
will not break anybody's heart who
knows the facts of the gentleman's
career. An officer in the Russian
army, he was degraded to the ranks
for scandalous conduct, and sent to
the Afghan frontier. He forthwith
began to labor for rehabilitation by
the most desperate and unscrupulous
enterprises in furtherance OF
Russia's eastern ambitions. No
act of invasion or aggression has
been too outrageous for him, no
treachery too base. Alternately brig
and and spy, he has crept to the rank
of General, every new commission
marking some fresh act Of infamy.
Apparently he has been caught, red
handed, in one of his scouting expedi-
tions. He has been captured at Cabul
in the disguise of Moslem fanatic.
In other words, he is found
in the position of Major Andre
without a state of war to af-
ford him any moral justifica-
tion. He is in disguise in the terri
tory of a power, friendly to Russia,
conspiring for its ruin. Let us hope
he will get short shrift and long rope.
