THIS DOG PASTED.


 Rather of a strange and hardly credi- ble circumstance came to our knowledge, the past week, of dog which lasted for 33 days. The facts in the case are given below. On Christmas eve, the dog be- longing to NJ. w. Doyle was let out of the house as usual, but did not return. The dog was not in the habit of going away, but after a week or more had passed and the dog did not come home, Mir Doyle and the rest of the family con- cluded he had been caught or was killed by some one. On January 26, John Rose went up to the old house they formerly occupied to get some things, and upon opening the cellar door, out walked Mir Doyle's dog. The dog had gained en- trance through the cellar window and was unable to get out, owing to the height of the window. The boards in the cellar were gnawed nearly to pieces, and holes dug in the ground. Probably he chased some kind of game into the cellar. A little snow had blown into the window, which was all the substance he had through all that cold spell. He was very weak and thin, but is now all right To say that he was pleased to get home again does not begin to express it, to say nothing of the surprise of his master. Mir Doyle thinks with little practice his ldSblDg.

THE HINCHLIFF SHEAR SHOP.

Milton's Only Industry Established by Thomas HnohlfF.-Points About the Shear Business.
 The only industry in the quiet little village of Milton, is the shear shop of Thomas Hinchlift, who established it here l9 years ago. MT Hinchliff, is thorough and fine workman and has built up a substantial business. He em- ploys from 10 to l2 men the year round.
 MIR HINCuLIFF TURNS OUT a fine grade of goods throughout. No flaws are allowed to escape his expert eye. Mir Hinchlitf came from Sheffield, England, 30 years ago. He has been about 90 years in the shear business, and knows how to make good goods.
 He worked for time at Shelburne Falls, Mass. He next rented a shop in moved to Milton. MT Hinchlitf
 ENJOYS AN ESTABLISHED TRADE.
 He keeps about 9, 1000 finished shears in stock all the time on his shelves.
 Mir Hinchlitt"s shop S situated a few hundred feet above the village center of Milton on the Marshapaug stream, one of the principal tributaries of the She paug. He has good water power.
 His shop is fitted with all the neces- sary machinery. There is a foundry room where the fine steel is forged on to the handles. These then pass to another room, where men sit over huge grind stones and soon bring the shears into proper shape.

HIGH WATER CLOTHING. All the Rage in the Village of
 Tempe. The Best Hour Record Ever Made by the Rain by an Official
 Registration.

It was not cloud burst tha. struck Tempe at sundown on Thursday even- ing but heavy driving rain that came down 80 suddenly that the streets flooded like millraces and many cellars were filled. Wells caved in and sev- sral buildings narrowly escaped. The frs. omen of impending deluge was a gray cloud of shifting dust resembling very much the funnel-shaped monster that carries destruction, sure and speedy in its path. Were it in the land of corn and sun flowers, every one would have suddenly become pious and sought the seclusion of the storm eel lar, but in Arizona there is nothing to fear from the clements.
 Curt Miller measured the rainfall. and during the first hour the register showed precipitation of 2.96 inches, the greatest record ever made on an of- ficial register in the territory. After the fret hour, the rain was lighter, and the entire fall was 3.23 inches. The casualties outside of Tempe were much greater and the railroad is SO badly washed out that it will probably be several days before trains are agaIn rung. The train coming out from Ph9- nix fell into washout and only the extreme length of the train averted disaster that would have cost many lives. As it is, three carloads of hogs belonging to Fowler Bros. and carload of barley were smashed in thousand pieces while the tender is total wreck and the engine is disabled, having burst one of the cylinders. The en- tire wreck is piled up in the embrasure and will require the assistance of wrecking train from the s. F. to get them out. A relief train from Phoenix encountered another washout and stopped a mile and half from the wreck. Fortunately no one was seri- ously injured. but the ground is strewn with dead porkers, fourteen being killed in one car alone. Mexicans are herding the hogs in the desert, while the spilled barley furnishes feed. Re- ports from down the road are to the effect that the washouts are extensive, the entire distance from Kyrene to the Gila, seven miles, being badly washed all the way along. Many of the canal companies are sufferers alec, the new head of the Grand being damaged at least $l 900. Perhaps the heaviest loss on the South Side will be to the grain farmers, as there is yet month's run for the three steam threshers yet out and it is simply piled up from the header wagon. Much alfalfa, too, will be lost where cutting is in progress.
