1t was not Nogales, Arizona.

Three days ago the following tele-
gram was sent out by the Associated
Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. IA telegram re-
ceived at the war department today
states that the guard of soldiers accom-
panying the army paymaster had been
attacked by roUghs at Nogales, Arizona,
and sergeant was arrested by civil au-
thorities for his share in the fight that
followed.
AS Nog8les has no soldiery and there
fore no need of an army paymaster the
article seemed somewhat surprising.
Among the more interested was Unit
ed States official in Tucson. Telegraph
ing to Nogales and other points the
the trouble was located.
1t was not at Nogaies, but at Nogal,
Lincoln county, \. NJ Details were sent
by the commanding officer at Fort
Stanton. The affair occurred on New
Years day. While the paymaeter s
guard were in camp at Nogal, on the
road between Carthage and Fort Stan
ton, they were assaulted by party OF
drunken civilians. Shots we're numer-
Gus. After twenty shots lad been fired
at the soldiers they protected themsel-
yes, and returned the fire. 50 far as
learned no one was injured.
The sol Tiers were arrested and come
for hearing Jan. 81. The civilians have
not been arrested.

zens of San Diego county, tells strust
worthy citizen of Escondido that the
early part of 1862. like the season Just
past, had very heavy rain, sccompan-
led by hoods, and that the streams
broke from their channels and flooded
the lowland. This was followed in the
pring by water appearing in the desert
and in a short time the lake had OBJ
tanned double the proportions that it
did this season.
Don Alvarado says that the year fol
lowing, 1853, was the dryest in the his
tory of San Diego county since it's set
tlement, and that during this period the
lake entirely disappeared, and no water
has formed IN The basIn since, until the
past season. He thinks that these eli
matte changes will repeat themselves
this year, and that we are gong to have
a very dry season, but Of course only
places this guess upon the history of
1868.
This statement of Don Alvarado thor
oughly explodes all the fine theorizing
that has been INDUCED in as to the
probable permanancy of the Salton sea,
and also that it is thing not unprece-
dented of late years. He does not know
the cause of the rapid filling of the has,
in with water, but it probably was
caused by the overflow OF the Colorado
into New river, the same as this year.
This history, coupled with the fact that
the water in the desert has been rapidly
decreasing for the past two months,
would indicate that the phenomenon
will have an opportunity to repeat itself
at some period in the future, when as
much more speculation can be indulged
in as to its permanency as has been
done this time.-Escondid Advocate.
