RAGING
SANTA
CRUZ
THE
OLD STREAM
ON A
BENDER.
Mayor Schumacher
Suggests a Gable
to Reach the
Hospital.

The Santa Cruz continues to attract
the attention and admiration of the pub
lie. it appears to have staying qualities
that would make of sharkey or Corbett
heroes OF the prize ring did they but
only possess them. They have few OF
the noticeable qualities OF the Santa
Cruz-they froth and foam and get full
occasionally-but they do not attend
strictly to their own business as does
the pride of Pima county waterways.
Nor have they yet established their wan
ton source OF superiority over other
noisey elements-the Santa Cruz has.
This turbulent little stream has its
source in the Patagonia mountains,
from where it flows south into the State
OF Sonora, Mexico, thence north into
Arizona, draining large watershed.
The Calabasas, Tubac and Canova have
been gradually drained during the
dgougth years OF vast amount of storage
waters, and since July Goth these basins
have been gradually filling up to their
normal state.
When the underground flow in the
Santa Cruz shall have reached its nor
NAL condition. the food from this great
watershed will spread over the valley as
In former years.
The average rainfall for July and Aug.
nst during 1875 was 5.22 inches; during
theEcorresponding months in 1881 9.6l
inches fell.
The rainfall since July 20 to August
IA, 1901, has been 5.6i inches.
Old pioneers report time when the
Santa Cruz river flowed continuously for
nine months.
The Santa Cruz 10 very angry at the
present, and it is hoped she may con-
tinue to do business in the same old
channel all the year round, ss in former
days, and not attempt to encroach upon

At this writing che is spreading out
over the farms near Tucson, and some
people speak lily Of the incorrigible
river.
Owing to the fact that the Santa Cruz
river has been out OF It's banks for sey-
eral days. and that all OF the bridges
have been swept away. including a
flume that crossed the stream, people
will suffer for some time unless the wat
ers soon recede.
Speaking OF this matter today, Mayor
Schumacher expressed himself freely
and feelingly. Calling attention to the
deplorable condition that the inmates OF
st Mary's hospital found themselves in
when physicians fond themselves unable
to attend to the wants OF their patients.
The hospital has no resident physician,
and patients have choice as to who shall
minister to their sufferings.
Mayor Schumacher Ia OF opinion that
the ccounty commissioners should take
steps to effect crossing OF some kind.
and suggests that cable would answer
the purpose for the present. BY this
method food could be transferred across
tho river, and by means of basket
tramway a physician could visit the
sick.
Nearly all OF the milk supply OF the
city comes from the west side, and

would not be deprived Of that almost in

Caldwell swung up the steep hills
rapidly, every step taking him further
beyond civilization; every mile carry

then on it was difficult. Also minute

rocks and lodges had an immeasure-
able advantage. In fact victory resolved
itself into which fellow succeeded in
getting the first drop on the other, and
luck perched with the man who
watched.
But there was no hesitation with
Caldwell for all that. He scorned eau
ton. The primal brute instinct--re-
venge-burned him, squirting him for
ward; biting down every other emotion.
He was man of great height, in
domitable WILL wonderful physique,
and of enormous strength. Sung over
one shoulder was a huge canvas bag
containing his clothing. About his waist
hung prospector's outfit, pans, a pick
and shovel, lineup and some provis-
ions. In his belt was a revolver.
For seven long hours Caldwell
tramped and climbed until the failing
light forced him to halt at the crest
of rock half way up the mountain
side. The setting sun had conferred its
last rays on the valley at his feet: an
illimitable stretch of beautiful green,
where herd of cattle, looking like toy
cows. grazed necessarily.

A thin stream of copper-colored water
trickled down over distant ledge of
rock. 1t decided Caldwell.
'I'll make this my headquarters for

from off his waist and shoulders.
In less than an hour the man had his
fire going, and strips of bacon sizzling
over the Goals. By dark he was rolled
in his blanket, and lay gazing up at
the stars, in the midst of a gigantic,
everpowering silence. wondering how
long he had to wait. The memory of
the woman was strong in him. The
memory of what she had suffered from

even stronger. But the hour of retalia-

lence. 'It's nearly the top. Unless the
sound played me false''-he peered
ahead, expecting to catch some evil
dence of camp; some sign of life.
All at once the man reeled. His
swiftly rolling eyes had fallen on the

rise up from the very ground not a
hundred feet away. She was facing him.
With one arm she shielded little child

the mans bewilderment was too in

Yet!
"Elizabeth-my God" he cried in a
| kind of sob. But the sound reused the

the revolver, letting her hand down

"How have you come here?" He felt
the question rather than heart the

At once he remembered. He was
here to avenge her death and now she
was before him alive. What of his rur-

He nodded. II tracked him to the

The woman beckoned and led Caldwell

cave gave grim laugh.
You caught me, eh. But I made you

the woman stood side by side. The man,
noticing this. continued:

all through the night, shut off the words.
Elizabeth stopped over him. bathing his

her?"

"YOu, too?"

A faint radiance crept into the dying
mans face. "And that was why YOU

Caldwell made no answer.
An hour passed-then two. Caldwell
had gone outside and was holding the
child. who had fallen asleep. her head
pillowed on his knee. Inside the man
groaned repeatedly. All at once there
fell great silence. moment later the
woman appeared at the opening. Cald-
well raised his eyes to hers. There was
question in them and an answer in
hers.
Directly the man rose. quietly, so as
not to awaken the child, and followed
by Elizabeth, he re-entered the cave,
