 A NICE BATH. Phoenix had de- lightfu rain yesterday morning be- tween o'clock and daylight, and it is said the precipitation was greater west of th= city than ln this vicinity. IL is perhaps good thing that Phoe- nix does not get q gr5 at deal of rain, or her city marshal and s,rset commis- sioner would get nervous. The Phoe- nix sewer system and tn street grades ere admirably constructed to disposa of the surplus waters of a drouth, bui they fall down early in the game when wet weather comes. Tn SC officials spent mos; of yesterday standing on the street corners with shove's in theil | hands and speculaing Cn what was the best thing to do. The mud was moi sufficient to interfere wi.h traffic, bui l just enough to make ditch officers mad
