The Yuma wssnout-

Telegrams from Yuma give the fol lowing concerning the flood in tha town:
 The schoolhouse, church, convent, restaurants and all stor,s but one are flooded. The office Of the Yuma Times was completely wrecked.
 From Gila City to the section house the track is carried of and the grade washed away. The big fill near Gala City, forty feet high. has all been car ried away No report as to the condi- tlon of the track east of Gila City can be obtained. The last heard from there was that the track was three feet under water for four miles. Ii is estimated that it will take 250 men six days to place the track in shape to permit of trains passing over it.
 All the houses in Yuma have been swept away except those on Railroad street. The office, ice houses and both warehouses of the Southern Pacific have been wrecked The highest point reached by the river was thirty-three feet. The whole country, both east and west, was under water. The river went down twenty-five inches in ten hours. The stream running through main street was about as rapid IS the r,var

New Picture of erssco,,.

Our little city with it's beautiful sur roundings can be seen at Mir. Jules Banmann's studio, reproduced. as ii were, liie-like, absolutely true to nature, but taken from such standpoint as only the thorough artist understands to take advantage of. This. picture Is finished in coiored wax crayons. and the effect of the blending of the differ eni eolors is striking. Mir. Bsumann has been at work at it for about five months, and will have 1t Autographed, so that every household in and around rescott may be ornamsnted with one of these really magnificent pictures. measuring each 32x44 inches. Owners Of attractive homes, or business houses, who desire to have them specially rep resented in this picture are requested to call on MT. Baumann and arrange for the siune, as he will give them liberal terms. The pictere is one which can nos fail to be of great benefit to Pres Prescott, as it will remain on sale for years, and is without doubt the besi picture ever drawn oi any town in the southwest.

verauao Captured.

Manuel verdugo, the murderer of Louis Cohn, who escaped from the Pima county jail last falI. has at last been captured and is now in jail al Alsmos, Sonora. Alter making his es- cape, he passed through Altar and reached Alamos. At that place he cut hole through the wall and robbed the deputy collector of internal revenue. but was captured and locked rp.
 Deputy Sheriff Brockmau, of this city. and c. Urbina. the chief of police on the Mexican side, have had Yer dugo pretty well located since he es- caped from jail and entertained high hopes of getting him. Urbina, few days ago, went to Alamos to try to get him. but found that he was held on a serious charge and that .he authorities would not give him up. 1t is the gem eral opinion that verdugo will be shot for his last and previous crimes.-No- gales Herald.

AN ANCIENT DITCH.
Evidences of an Ancient oiviliza. ti0n unearthed by the Flood
 in tae Verde River.

CANT VERDE, March 5.-(special correspondence .l--In one place where the Ve.de ditch was swept away and the ground removed to the depth of about twelve feet, 1t exposed the most perfect ditch, constructed by the Az. tees or former cuitivators of this valley, that have ever seon.
 It lies about twelve feet under the present ditch, and runs parallel with the same. lt must have been con- structed when the general level of this valley was some twelve feet below what 1t is at tbe present time. 1t is about six feet in width, and made of a tough mud containing considerable clay, and it Is evident that the material was col. lected for its construction. The water has washed the soil and dirt from the sides, leaving itexposed for about one hundred and fifty yards, and fl you take pipe with the inside diameter of six feet and sides two feet thick, and remove the top hall for distance ot one hundred and fifty yards. the bot tom half sill give you perfect idea of how this ditch looks lying along the ground with all the coil washed from its sides. The water In the river has fallen so that there isonly about good irrigating head of water running through this ditch. just as II flowed when another race in sh9 long past age had floods and disasters aud trouble with their diiches.

EboIish the Corral.

Let the legislature give us the Aus tralian ballot system. In fact any new system that will put an end to the cus- tom in Tucson of putting one-third Of the voting population of that town in a corral on the afternoon before the election, stuffing them with red herring and beer and marching them to the polls like SC many Siberian covicts. These voting machines in human form have their tickets folded and placed in their hands by their dictatorial herders, and those tickets are never unfolded until the count is in progress. And those who vote them and have their names enrolled as American suffragists know DO more about what names are ou the tickets than the late Mir. Piu- tarch. It is not quite so bad, of course. when the Republicans do the herding, but we notice that fonr times out of
 ve the corral bosses are Democratsi
