Bridges Washed Away. M
Tuesday afternoon abouts O'clock
a terrific rain and electrical storm
accompanied by n high wind, passed
over this section of country and did
considerable damage to fences, tim
ber, etc, besides washing out many
fields of growing oats and newly
planted corn.
In the vicinity OF Friendsville and
Sang Run the force of the storm was
severely felt. At the latter place III
house belonging to Matthew HI. De-5
Witt and occupied by him as a dwell
ing, was moved foot off the founda-
ton, whilst in the vicinity of Bitin
ger large number of sugar trees
were blown down. At Oakland g.
high wind prevailed and hail stones
an inch in diameter fell. The roads
are very badly washed and trav@ at
places is impeded by fallen trees.
LATER.-This morning news comes
by telephone telling of very serous
damage to timber, bridges, BUILDINGS.
etc, in the northern section of II,
county in the vicinity Of FrissHessf I
vile, Hoyes, Accident, Sang Run, Bit
finger, wrought by the downpour OF
rain last night.
The bridge at the foot of Bear Creek
hill near FriendsvilIe and all the tram
way bridges used by the numerous
saw mills in that section for the pur-
pose of transporting logs from the
woods to the mills have been entirely
washed away. The large saw mill
belonging to Mr.. E. J. Frantz, which
is situated on one of the prongs of
Bear Creek, was washed away, with
the exception of the boiler and the
engine, entailing considerable loss.

Friendsville the river is rapidly sing.
The greater portion of the bridges
spanning small streams between

cate that there is not a tree left stan1
ing on the entire tract.

Salt River valley has been concluded, aud nocks are making their slow way | back to northern Arizona. The wool crop has been large one, though the prices are less than known for several years past.
 Frank NJ. King has returned to Tue | son from the Galiuro mountains, where he went on cattle business, says the Citizen The cattlemen It. that portion ol the country are hold ing their stock for higher prices that are offered by buyers and they feel that they will be able to bring the dealers up to their terms. Whether they will be successful or not remain to be seen. The buyers refuse to pay the prices of last year claiming that there is no money in such prices for them and the conditions this year dc not warrant the price asked by the stockmen.
 Citizen: R. c. Brady has purchased 5000 head of cattle from the ranches of Ramon Soto and Rosario Brena. These cattle will be delivered in Tue son on the 10th of May. The price paid by Mr Brady was the market price. It is thought that more cattle sales will be made now since the sus- pense has been broken so etfectually by Mir. Brady When the cattle begin to sell there will be some large deli Veries and Tucson will feel the benefit which has been longer delayed this season than previous years. It is es- timated that the cattle sales in this locality each year amount to S3O0,0O0 in the aggregate, and the holding back of this money from the channels of trade has effected the business in terests of Tucson this spring.

The Barfopts formerly resided near the Riggs' ranch, in the Chircahua mountains, and were considered not very good citizens. They sold out their cattle and horses, together with the brands, to MT. Riggs on their de parture from Arizona, and made an error by supposedly smooth trick ol adopting the same brand in New Mex.
