stares superintendent Green in the
face. The canal company had on Fri
day sent men and teams with lumber
to repair the fume across the Hassay-
ampa. They arrived al the flame and
unloaded the lumber that evening.
That night the Hassayampa was up
tearing away at the hume again. and it
succeeded in getting another span OF
it, making about one-haf or a little
over 800 feet of the nume gone. The
Arlington fiume, two miles below, is
completely gone. All but about 100
feet went in January and the rest this
time. The Hassayampa lacked about
one foot of reaching the high water
mark made in January, and the high
est known since the Walnut Grove
dam catastrophe
1t was reported that a man was
drowned on an island in the Aqua
F'ria on Sunday. He was heard to cry
for help but it was impossible TO get
to where he was, as the water runs
like a mill race. Later he fired two
shots and that was the last heard Of
him. A rumor got out that it was Mr..
Rell, the man that was in the asylum
from here a year or so ago, but later
it was learned that he was safe on the
other side, of the river. A story also
got started that two men were seen
floating down the ella river on logs at
the Arlington dam, but it is not gen
orally conceded as true. because men
that could ride logs in that flood sure
~ would have presence of mind enough
to in some way steer the logs to the
bank and make a landing somewhere.
