5. F. P. P. ENGINE DITCHED
Celestial Zanjero Went to Sleep With
Heavenly Headgates Up.

One of the most disastrous waShouts
ever suffered by the s. F., P. & P. Rail-
way company occurred in the vicinity
of Peoria about fifteen miles north
west of Phoenix, during the storm of
Saturday night The train that left
here yesterday morning had to return,
and the train that should have reached
here from the north about 1 o'clock
had not got in at a late hour last
night, but 1t is thought the damage
will be temporarily repaired by this
morning, SO all trains will be moving
regularly today, this mornings train
leaving here on time.
Between a point a mile and a quarter
this side of Peoria and a point a half
mile beyond that station there were
sixteen waShoutS varying in width
from a very few feet to several rods.
but the incident that caused the great
est delay and added a spectacular fea-
ture to the trouble was the fact that
Saturday nights passenger train from
the north. though running slowly and
expecting difficulty, probed the bad
lands little too far and the locomo-
tive and the front truck on the tender
landed in the ditch.
The roadbed was covered with water
holes that lay below. though the rails
and ties were all in place. The engine
had safely crossed one small hole in
the grade and was just creeping on to
the rails over a larger one when the
engineer and fireman noted the situa
ton and the engine was brought to a
standstill. The weight, however, was
too great for the unsupported rails and
the big engine began to sink little.
when a rail snapped and the locomotive
rolled over on its left side. The fire
man, who had been watching things
closely, saved himself by jumping, and
the engineer. Charles Chambers, tried
to, but his arm got caught on some
thing and he went over with the en-
CINE. However, he craWled out a mo-
ment later uninjured. Mr.. Chambers
has that particular piece of roadbed
pretty well impressed on his mind by
this time for he was the engineer ON
the train carrying the car of dynamite
that was blown up a short distance
this side of there in the early summer.
Fortunately no one was injured in Sat
urday nights occurrence and yesterday
morning the passengers walked over
the bad track for a couple of miles and
came on to Phoenix on the train that
started from here and had to return.
There were no conveniences, however,
for transferring the mail which will
reach here this morning.
Report was made both to Phoenix and
Prescott, and with remarkable prompt
ness the. work of temporary repairs be-
gan. Three carloads of ties for crib
bling and all the available section men
here were taken out at once, and as

NIGHT AND MORNING
Citizens Of LIST Ward Pray That the
Council Nay Get Next to Itself.

While the city council is shivering ny
the fire these dull days it might Keep
it's blood in circulation by moving
around on the back streets little to
see what could be done for the people
in the way OF fixing up the dltches.
Possibly orders would be issued that
would start a righteous sweat on the
brows of the. city engineer, the street
force and the chain gang. WHO. alter
all. would have the hard work to do,
for all that is necessary on the part OF
the officials is to give the word.
Reference is particularly made to the
corner of Fifth and Washington streets
and the immediate vicinity thereof
deplorable condition of affairs has eX-
listed thereabout for months, even
wears, and while some Improvements
have been made. they have only been
temporary, never thorough nor suf1i-
cient to correct the evil. The trouble
is all caused by the imperfect provis-
ions for carrying away the waste wa
ter from the ice factory, and the city.
having given that institution permis-
sion to run it's waste water into the
regular street bitches. it is I'D to the
city to see that it is taken care of. The
tory 10 the ditch through box fiume,
but from the end of the flume the
bitches in the first place are too small
to accommodate the flow and a large
part of the time the adjacent streets
and sidewalks are flooded. Another
troublesome fact is that the water is
so hot it kills the roots of the trees
that stand near the ditch. Along one
half block there was a fine row of ash
trees nearly a foot in diameter, all of
which are now dead, and one of them
in a recent windstorm was blown over
against a neighhoring house. Only that
large umbrella tree broke the fall
there might have been serious damage
to the property. if not to the residents
personally. hut to say the least, the
trees stand there with withered leaves
and dry trunks. silent monuments to
somebody's everlasting negligence and
lack of interest in the arboreal adorn-
ment OF the city's thoroughfares. This
water is run south on Fifth street till
the residents below get mad, when they
close the headgate and turn it north in
the Washington street ditch. Then the
blighting influence of the not water is
felt by another fine row of ash trees
ten or fifteen years old between the
headgate and thu corner of Sixth
street. where, with the aid of the
sprinkler standpipe, another delightful
cesspool is formed, till the water works
its way across Washington and empties
into q vacant lot, flooding the street
and adjoining property below, till it
is finally soaked UP by the summer
sun. These things out not to be. but
nevertheless will continue to be till
some proper outlet Tor this water is
made, for it has got to run somewhere.
Banking up the bitches and throwing
dirt on the low places in the sidewalks
only helps matters for n day or two.
and it is at least an undesirable thing
to have all the fine shade trees killed
that have been growing there for years.

about the only place on the S. F., P. &
P. line where serious trouble follows
from washouts is between here and
Morristown, where the country is al
most as level as floor and the track
nearly straight. The rugged and ro-
mantle mountain country where wash
outs are continually suggested troubles
the company but seldom and any DAM
age is easily and quickly repaired. But
when it does rain on the desert i rains
hard and the ground everywhere be-
comes mushy. The water, too. very
frequently covers the track for a time
as the bitches cannot carry it away
fast enough. There have been frequent
washouts between Glendale and the
Aqua Fria river, but this is the first
time one has arrived simultaneously
with a train. Another cause of trouble
in this section is from the overflow
from Cave creek that sweeps across the
Arizona canal and sometimes floods the
town CT Glendale. This surplus water
from Cave creek added to the heavy
rain in the vicinity of Peoria, caused
the trouble A further nuisance is the
gopher holes which suddenly become
underground channels in time of rain,
and to this very likely may be laid the
undermining of the track Saturday
night, for on the surface it appeared

B. G. Pecka and w. S. Pickrell, both of
this city, arrived on the south bank,
each with buggy and each wanting
to come to Phoenix. While they were
hesitatinS about entering the water a
man named Wilson, formerly employed
as a driver by the Arizona laundry OF
this city, drove up behind them. with
him were another man and a boy.
They said they We're not afraid to cross
and drove in. About the same tln;2
another man drove up on the Tempe
side and stopped. Hardly had Wilson
and his companions reached the CEN
ter of the stream when the horse lost
his footing, the vehicle tipped and Will

managed to make Il landing, but the
buggy mad by this time dri.ted against

there a minute or two the boy being
in some way fastened in the wreck. To
that incident he 10 doubt owes his life,
for had he been able to free himself
he would no doubt have been drowned
In the meantime the stranger on the
Tempe side jumped out of his wagon.
peeled his coat and went in after the
boy, bringing him safely to land. The
buggy, to which the horse was still at
tached, was next washed away from
the pier and both went rolling down
the stream, drifting toward this side
of the river. There were several spec
tators on this side that tried to rescue
the horse, but SO far as learned their
efforts were unsuccessful.
Mr.. Pickrell and Mr.. Pecka being
very anxious to reach Phoenix last
night and knowing that the rise had
occurred within few minutes, hastily
turned in the direction of the Wilson
crossing, three or four miles down the
river, ard by fast driving reached
there before the water did, crossing the
dry gravel of the river bed during the
sand storm and without seeing a drop
of water Btu they did not stop to
gather any clam shells, for they knew
there would be something doing there
in few minutes
An effort was made to learn further
particulars of the incident at the
Tempo ford and the names of those
concerned by means of the telephone
but the wind storm or something else
had put the line out of business.
