UNCERTAINTY,
The Lesson the Benson Flood
 Furnishes

Often in our short experience have We seen the blackness of despair turk in the wake Of the brightest sunshine. Individuals whose future was full of hope and bright expectations. brought low in single day. Iami.ies, where love, peace and perfect happiness beamed from the eyes of every mem- Der, to whom life seemed an endless happy day, by some sudden thcnder- bolt of adyersity brought to drink the dregs of bitterness; and even whole neighborhoods, where prosperity and joyous contentment sI:ead its pro- ,ecting wings over each separate household, where the pinacle of hu- man happiEess appeared to have been reached, where bickerirgs and strlie T-c-s unknown and each seemed to vie with his neighbor in making life a blessed thing, in twInkling and without even a moments warning the hearts of all are made to bleed bv the blighting pail c: dire calamity.
 And today We see ir right al home, in the quiet town Of Benson the home where happiness and the comfort that ls given to life by the communion Of hearts bound hy the ties Of love and affection, bas been invaded and the light extinguished, love has departed and the desola,ion of despair has taken her place. Ard so it is through this exis;apce, in all lands and with all people. the very acme Of human happiness is snapped by the unseen, and hearts are made desolate where joy held sway supreme.

FLOOD AT BENSON.
Six Persons Known to be Lost
 and Others Missing,

The latest news from Benson is to the effect that bodies have now been been found by the searching party. The family of Wm. Zeek, wife and two children also Mrs. A.hburn and two children, besides several Mex jeans, whose identity is unknown.
 The volume of water that left deso- lstion and death in it's path is said te have been . breast of water four feet high and swept everything before it as il the obstructions were but matches. Water foot or more deep covers the entire town and flat, the drainage be- ing very slight it runs of slowly.
 Repeated telegrams for details failed to bring any replies which can only be accounted for through the fact that the telegraph office at Benson is short on help. only one operator being caught alone and is Hooded with work besides attending to the service along the line and all train orders, 10 say nothing of the Bisbee branch and line running into Sonora.
 4 telegram from Wilcox states the whole country whereabouts is flooded and from what can be learned at Ben son the terrible rainstorm was evident ly general for miles along the $. F.
 A report that Bisbee was visited by another flood last night was received here at noon. It was claimed to bs far more disastrous than the one the day previous and was believed several lives were los, the flood rushing down the main street the food gate used in emergencies oi this kind not being closed ID time. It IS almost impossible to securessny details.

 BENSON, Oct. 3, 1896.
 MR. WI. HATTIcH :-Mrs. Ashburn and Mre. Zeek are all the bodies found.
