CLOSER TO KLONDYKE.
A Letter From Al Kyle, Gold Hunt
 CT From Phoenix.

MT. D. P. Kyle yesterday received a letter from his son, Al Kyle, who left here with L. P. Nash about the mid de of July for the Klondyke. The letter was written on August 23 from the head of canoe navigation on the Dyea river six miles above the town of Dyea. Messrs. Kyle and Nash are in the vanguard of the thousands now struggling toward the gold fields and what is of more importance, they are not discouraged amid dishearteling surroundings. MT. Kyle writes
 "As this is the last chance I will get to write to you for some time I had better use it. MT Nash and I are by ourselves now. We are going to have our stuff packed to the summit in the morning It will cost us 20 or 22 cents pound and then we are going to pack it to Lake Linderman ourselves. We expect to go down the river on a raft, possibly in a boat, am not certain which yet. We have about thirty days before the river freezes over. That is the reason we are having it packed to the summit. We have not got money enough to winter here and go in in the spring.
 "There are about 1.500 people on the

mains warning people not to drive there. Before these warning signs were hung out one of Stevens cabs was wrecked. Laden with women and children it was driven into a sunken gas main in front of the Valley bank. The springs were broken in the de- scent. The horses were frightened and ran away, but were stopped across the street and the women and children were extricated with diff1culty. The cab stands there yet, marked exhibit "A" in a damage suit against some body. There was damage in many private residences from flooded eel lars and leaking roofs. Fifteen feet of the area wall on the west side of the Adams building loosened by dis integrating water, fell down.
 The southern part or the city was a lake, the expanse broken only by buildings. Chief Beck of the patrol discarded his bicycle hunting horse because he couldn't swim and got out boat and cruised around until he happened to think that bicyclists wouldn't be out in such weather.
 The storm was as bad outside of town. The s. F. P. & P. was washed out somewhere this side of Congress and the train which left last night was ordered back. A repair crew was sent out later. The train due here Io ;oI will arr;ra limo fhiS afternoon. The Postal telegraph line is down above Glendale, so that this information came in over the Western Union.
 It rained hard in the south, but service on the M. & P. and the S. P. is not seriously interrupted. The country east is under water. It was reported that the Crosscut had over flowed its banks and that the vicinity looked like sea. It was feared that great damage had been inflicted by washouts along the Arizona canal, whose banks were full before the rain
 There was a terrific storm at Tempe in the afternoon, accompanied by FIOIeNL WiIhu. It IS uHHeceSSdry to say that the Salt river is nowhere fordable.
 A report reached the city yesterday evening that Mexican child had been drowned in the overflow of the Crosscut canal which. It is said, was Oversweeping the country.
 Persons arrived in town last night from Tempe on foot. having been obliged to cross the river on the rail road bridge. They say that the whole country as far as the four-mile house is under water.

BONES OF A SMALL WOMAN
Another Point Scored Against
 the Sausage Maker
Two Experts Classify Fragments of Bones Taken From the Sausage Factory and Agree Upon the Sex of tine Owner.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-The state put in its time today proving that the bones from the vat in 5ne sausage fac tory were those of a human being and the evidence which was produced was strongly against the prisoner. Pro- lessor G. w. Bailey testified simply that of the bones shown him in court Cne was from the hand of a human being and one from the foot, one part of a human rib and one a fragment of human forearm. He said: They are bones from the skeleton of small person, probably a woman
 Dr. Robert A. Howe, who has for many years been connected with the leading hospitals of the city, gave the same evidence as Professor Bailey, also saying that the bones were from the frame of a small person. probably a woman"

THE STORM OF YESTERDAY.
Damage and Inconvenience in and
 About Town.

It rained in Phoenix yesterday af-
 ternoon. Old residents said they never saw it rain so hard. The weather bureau said it rained 1.S9 inches in fifty-five minutes. That broke the reco1d and also proved that something is wrong with the grades in the town. The streets which had been a series of chuck-hIoles by reason of recent rains, became level expanses of water, which rose higherd an high CT. The water mounted to the curbS, then the sidewalks, then descended into cellars. It poureo over the side of the stairway into the basement of the Porter building like a cataract. Chapman Bros cellar was invaded. P. T. Hurley's was filled two feet deep, destroying lots of paper. Gold berg Bros. were annoyed. A Niagara fell from the roof of the Fleming block, filling the cellar of the Creigh6on building to oveIrflowing. It would have risen higher, but was held down by the floor. After awhile the bottom fell out 01 the streets, marking the courseS1 the gas company's mains and yer pipes. Lanterns had 1 ed along the line of the

It is about as large as Salt river when you can't ford it there by Mesa. If anybody asks you how to come in tell them by the way of St. Michael's. Pretty near every body is cutting down outfits to from 800 to 800 pounds Mr Nash has been laid up with rheumatism in his ankle for a couple ct days He is getting all right now.
 "You speak to man on the trail and maybe he will answer you and maybe not; so you can see how people feel. A great many are selling out and going back. I have the best of health and will be glad when I get through, for the trail from here to Sheep's camp is pretty rough and aw- full muddy. It rained last night and again today. It is a great deal dryer on the other side of the range. I have not the least fear in the world of starving in there this winter. The English have removed the duty on goods for six months. Only two out fits have gotten in across the Ska quay trail. About 1000 people came over from Skaguay, so you can judge what the trail is there. MT. Nash is baking bread just now. I believe this is all the news; l will write you again if I get a chance"

A YUKON RAILROAD.

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 11.-W. A. Pratt, who was sent out as an engi- neer to the northwest territory by the Yukon Mining and Trading and Trans portation company of Wilmington, Delaware, to make a reconnaissance for railroad into the Yukon country. returned today from Juneau on the steamer City of Topeka. Engineering parties will be in the field within few weeks making a preliminary sur vey for the line. The proposed rail- road is 1e2 miles in length and the route runs from the head the Tau in let to Lake Teslin in the interior. Lake Teslin is at the heaa of PartalinQue river, one of the principal tributaries of the Yukon, and both are navigable. so that the line will be from salt water navigation to steamer navigation on the river.

HOW TO KILL DOGS.
It Should Be Done in Some Other Than
 the Phoenix Way.

Phoenix is short in many ways of being a we'll ordered town. One pull back is the manner of killing unli- censed dogs. There is perhaps no other town in the United States in which similar system is prevalent. At any rate, there is no other in Ari- zona. Killing dogs is an unpleasant duty, but it should not be made un- necessarily unpleasant and ostenta- tious. The dog killer is abroad again The crack of his rifle is heard. upon the street followed sometimes by the howl of a dog in agony, for the dog killer is not dead shot. These howls are entrancihs. The visitor a higher esteem for some other cities he has visited and Phoenix is given the short end of an invidious com parison with towns where the dog nuisance is abated quietly and order ly. Sometimes the death of the deg is instant aneous, but the removal of the carcass is not. It is usually a matter of some hours, during which the dog lies rotting in the sun sur rounded by pool of blood, as one lay at the corner of Center and Adams streets yesterday afternoon That was an appetizing sight for the seeker of health from abroad. He will rapidly gain in weight amid this sort of en- vironment. Upon whatever street he might travel to a restaurant his ap- petite would be enlivened by the view of a slaughtered dog. The dog killer is not to blame He is performing his duty as the city wants it. one. That is the way it was done in the early days.
 They do it differently at Tucson. A man expert with wire moose or a lass pervades the town. The unli- censed dog is caught up, thrown into a wagon and hauled away to a corral. In due time, after his owner has been given an opportunity to redeem him he is put to death without publicity The dogs disappear from the streets and nobody knows how or when they go. The Tucson way is the method employed in all civilized and pro- gressive municipalities. In Phoenix in Indian villages and in unorganized rural communities objectionable dogs are killed on sight.

MERRlTTI'SS EXAMINATION.
Evidence That He Left On the

On the Night of tho M urder and Pre- sumabIy Before It Had Been Committed-A Terrific storm In the South Yesterday.

Gila Bend, Ariz., Sept. 11.-C. J. St. Clair. the village butcher, has been placed under arrest as implicated in the murder of Druggist John Pratt Merritt. the young hobo arrested, will have his examination on Monday. He has evidence that he left Gila Bend early on the evening of the murder and it is believed that he will be dis charged.
 The heaviest rain ever known in central Arizona fell this afternoon, the record for a single hour being nearly two inches. The storm was cyclonic. moving northward.
 The suspicion attached to St. Claire was intimated in The Republican yes terday morning. Precisely what evil dence the authorities at Gila Bend have against him has not been dis closed but he came under suspicion early in the investigation. It is charged that he has obstructed it in every way possible and that he has been guilty of trying to intirnidate witnesses. A telegram was received at the sheriff's office yesterday morn ing asking that a physician be sent down to Gila Bend for the examina- tion of blood >spots, to determine whether the blood was animal or hu- man. St. Claire in his trade was H- able to be contaminated with the blood of beeves. There was, the au- thorities thought, other blood. Dr. Wiley will go to Gila Bend tonight.
 The evidence alluded to in t. dis patch that Merritt left Gila Bend on the eastbound train on the night of the murder has probably been fur nisehd by man named Holden. now in Phoenix, who said he saw him at Maricopa at o'clock une morning af- ter the killing. Holden has been sent for and will leave for Gila Bend to- night.
