SUIT WENT AGAINST
 THE RELOCATORS
A Decision Yesterday in the Famous
 vulture Mine Case.

The case of Carrie A. Lount and others against Thomas Hayes was be. lore the district court yesterday after.
 noon on demurrer This interestine suit was filed last spring by Mrs
 Lount and her sister, Mrs. F. H.
 Parker to prevent the defendant from
 selling a tract of land west of the city.
 when the following facts were brought
 out. Several years ago Elihu Rood
 an uncle of the plaintiffs. settled in
 the valley and took up a homestead
 west of the city. Some time after that
 he was joined by Hayes. whom he had
 known in California, and who wa,
 then well along in years. Before the
 death of Rood he expressed a wish
 that Hayes might be cared for during
 his lifetime and that he might be per-
 mltted to occupy the homestead and
 enjoy the profits of it which the com plaint states were about S400 a year. The title to the property was not com plete and the plaintiffs went to the
 expense of procuring a relinquishment
 and of buying up the interest of the
 heirs of Rood, the whole expense being
 a little more than $5,700. The title to
 the property was in the name of Hayes,
 there being an understanding that he should occupy the property as long as ne lived and that he should leave Will bequeathing all the property to
 the plaintiffs. This understanding was verbal for the defendant was then ad. vanced in years and had no relatives
 in this country and had none any,
 where else except in Ireland where he had some cousins. The plaintiffs said
 he was regarded by them as a member
 of the family and that they had faith in his word that he would not at. tempt to sell the property and that h. would otherwise carry out the term of
 the agreement with regard to the will.
 Last spring it came to the notice of
 the plaintiffs that Hayes was about to sell the property for $12.000 anc that the deed had actually been executed The suit was filed and on the sams day the deed was placed on record Later on another complaint asking moi only for an injunction against the sale
 of the property but for one to prevent
 the purchaser from giving Hayes
 mortgage for a part of the purchas! price of it.
 The demurrer is a simple document It denies all the principal allegatons of the complaint and cites the fact that there is nothing on record in sup port of any of them. The demurrer is
 now under advisemeat
 Another important thing in the court yesterday was the ren- dering of Judgment in the case of the New Vulture Mining | company against Charles Kinsiey and
 others in favor of the plaintiffs for tn. | possession of all the property :n con troversy except the Esperanza minins | claim. All this property embraces the 1 old Vulture mine and several adj7oent ! claims. The case was tried somethinf more than a month ago and briefs
 were afterward submitted. The prop

21. During last week a great deal Of snow fell in the mountains north and east of here. The warm rain which fell all day Sunday melted the snow, bringing the water down in torrents.
 The water began to rise at D. m. on Sunday and came up very rapidly. Between the hours of and 6 on Mon day morning the river rose six feet ris- ing past the high water mark of last year. At about 5:30 the suspension bridge, the only means of crossing the river, went out, leaving a single cable stretched across the canyon. The wa ter continued to rise until 11:30 when it reached its highest point-35 feet and 10 inches deep-12 feet above last years highest mark. At that time the water was rushing through the canyon at the rate of about twelve miles an hour. Some idea of the height of the water may be gained by knowing the points 1t reached on the banks. The flats up Tonto creek were completely covered, the water reaching clear to the hills In the canyon all the tun- nels were under water save the pen stock tunnel and when the water was at it's height only about a foot of the top of it's outlet was visible.
 Tonto creek furnished almost as much water as the Salt. The Indian part of town, which is on the Tonto side, was covered and the inhabitants were compelled to take to the hills. Many tents and Indian shacks were washed away. A tent belonging to MT. Van Wrinkle was carried down the river and crushed to pieces in the can yon. The Olberg house, which was considered to be above the high water mark, was surrounded by water which rose to it's roof. MT. Griffin and fam fly, who occupy the house, carried their furniture out in water knee deep and placed it at a point which they thought to be out of danger, but the water washed over the place and car ried it away Very little was saved.
 The gravel trap. which was on the south side of the Salt near town, was carried away. Near it were stacked a large number of piles intended for work on the dam. Fifty of these fIoated off, the balance being saved by quick work on the part of Ralph Hu- bert and some of O'Rourke company's s employees.
 The work done by ORourke & Go. in the canyon was all destroyed. They had started the coffer dam, two rows of piles having been driven across the stream. These were twenty feet under water and it is not known whether or not any of them are still there. The piledriver and blacksmith shop were washed away. The sluicing tun- nel was filled with sediment and

erty in dispute was relocated by Kins ley more than two years ago on tn. ground that the New Vulture Mining company had failed to keep up tn. assessment work. During the year in which it was claimed that the assess ment work was not done the propert, was in the charge of the late George w. Sanders from whom the plaintiff claimed to have had reports from time to time of the doing or the assess ment work.
 The defense tried to show by wit nesses that the work mad not been done. The plaintiff on the other hano showed by vouchers that money had from time to time been sent to pal for the work and for supplies and stress was laid upon the fact that al all times a watchman was kept on the property until election by Kins- ley after the relocation.
 In the case of F. G. Fisher against J. N. Ellison a demurrer to the amend ed complaint was overruled. In th. suit of J. B. Alexander against J. L..

sand bar covers its outlet. The dam age to the government work in the canyon was very slight but O'Rourke & Co. will suffer considerable loss.
 So far, only one life is reported to have been lost. Jack Whitney saw the body of a man floating down from Tonto creek but no further particulars are known. Some very narrow es- capes occurred down the river on the Mesa road. H. w. Arnold a freighter hauling for the Roosevelt Mercantile O., lost three wagons and he and his son and another driver barely escaped with their lives. They were camping Sunday night on a flat opposite the Christmas Gift mine When they awoke the water was washing over their beds. They cut their horses loose and ran for the hills. When they got out of the water they turned and saw their wagons being carried away. They were loaded with hay and barley. All three wagons and twelve sets of harness went down. Their troubles did not end here. The water came up so rapidly that they had not time even to put on their shoes. All three spent the night on a hill side with only a quilt and blanket, beside the scanty clothing they were able to save, with which to keep warm. Early in the morning they started to walk to Roosevelt a distance of about five miles, but had not gone far when a loose stone fell on Mr. Arnold severely injuring his hip, which at first was thought to have been broken. His son walked to Roosevelt for aid, arriving at about S30 a. m. Cone Webb drove out and brought MT. Arnold in. He had to be carried for a distance of about half a mile to the road.
 mule and a horse which were tied to wagon near the sluicing tunnel, were carried down the river. The mule is reported to have escaped but nothing has been heard of the horse.
 Tonto creek was very high and good deal of damage is reported to have been done to the governments work at Pinto pressure pipe. Most of the excavation will have to be done over again and one of the pipes, which was almost finished, was filled with sediment.
 At the Intake the river came up to the bank of the Power canal, wash ing two or three hundred feet of it away It is reported that considerable damage was done to the work at the intake, but nothing definite has been learned.
 About five or six miles of the Mesa road along the river was washed away and it will be some time before freight. ing can be resumed. The mail is be- ing brought in over the trail from Fish creek.
 Slim Anderson, the telegraph line rider. while riding on the Mesa road on the morning of Nev. 29, suffered the loss of horse. He was riding mule and leading the horse, which broke away from him as they rounded a curve. It left the road and fol- lowed a gully to the river. When Il got to the river it tried to turn with the bank of the wash, but was run ming so swiftly that it slid into the stream. Anderson tried to fellow Il down stream but was unable to keep up owing to the roughness of the coun- try and the swiftness of the river.
