NO SANTA EE HANS.
he Weak Condition of the Bridge Due
 to High Water.

All Santa Fe trains between here and Phoenix were annulled yesterday after noon. The re%ular trains crossed the bridge without accident yesterday morning but before evening the river had reached such a stage that it was deemed unsafe to attempt to run a train over tho Santa Fe bridge where it had been recently repaired. Up to last evening there had been no great rise in the river here not more than three feet but more was expected and with even that amount the bridge was swaying considerably. A force of men H'ere there keeping the drift away from the piles in hopes that the struc- ture might be saved even though no trains were allowed to cross. If the liver should reach the mark it has made already this year, however there is little hope that the piling will stand the force of the current
 The Santa Fe is not alone in its trou- hle though. Yesterday there was a slight washout between here and Ky rere but it was soon repaired The cl4ief cause of apprehension with the M. S, p. road is the work they are do- ing on the new bridge here. At pres ent there ? over a thousand feet of track in the river bed beside a great quantity of machinery which has been used in sinking the castings. They have grown used to having the temper ary track washed away but are in hopes that this time the river will not come up high enough to do any ser ious damage. In that hope none of the track or machinery was removed yes terday but they were prepared to take It o-t O. tEe river at a moments nO- tice.

A JOKE ON THE JUSTICE

Justice Nelson was a victim of rather an unusual joke yesterday and the funny part of it was that it was unintentional on the part of any one. The evening before passengers on the Mesa bound train from Phoenix noticed what they thought was dead man ly- ing in tho rain across tha river near the old lime kiln. Early this morning the justice dispatched a man to inves- tigate and paid the party out of his own pocket. After due investigation had been m26e the man returned and reported ttat he found an old suit of clothes that from a hurried glance as q man might get from swift moving train, might he taken for al dead man.

It rained here again yesterday Rather there was no cessation from the rain that started Monday noon. IT anything it rained considerably harder yesterday than :t did the day before.

Between Mon day evening at . o'clock and last night at the same time 0.96 had fallen and by far the greater part of that fell dur ing daylight although there was a heavy precipitation Monday night. Needless to say no hay was cut yester- day and it is hard telling when there will be any more moved.
