race was held at the course near Liv- ingstone, and was run before a great crowd. Coal oil was not in the same class with Brownie, though he carried more weight, which was a decided dis advantage for he is a very small anil nal, though probably very speedy with a light-weight rider. He was ridden by a colored man, who weighed about 15O pounds. The Cooper horse was ridden by Franz Cooper at 137 I-2 pounds. The race was for 300 yards with $15O as a purse. The start was ask and answer, Sam Hinton and Geo. Shute being judges. A good many false starts were made, but after fully one half an hour of jockeying for a start, the horse got off. It was Cooper's horses race from the start, Coal oil not being able to carry his heavy weight rider in any kind of a run. Brownie won by about twenty feet. The same horses are matched for race to come off in about three weeks as a good many people were satisfied that Coal Oil could do better than he did The purse in this next race will be for $500 over the same course, al though Coal Oil will have much lighter rider
  ues, heavy rains occurring almost daily The Gila Valley Globe & Northern railroad has had it's share of misfor tune this winter, the road being washed out continually by each sue cessive storm. Globe Is suffering a lit tie famine on account of the inability of the railroad to get freight into the town. Over 500 cars of merchandise for Globe and vicinity are held up all the way from Bowie to the coast, and the railroad people will give no expression as to when the road will be ready for traffic. A train was sent through to Globe yesterday. the first one in some time. but the weather is very threatening and it looks as if there may be another downpOur at any time. All wagon roads are in fright full shape, and freighters will not haul the little supplies there are to haul for love or money. There is a great scar city of forage of every kind in Globe, and all stock is being turned out on pasture until hay and barley can be shipped in.
 A man named Fuller attempted to make a crossing at the ferry on Salt river near Livingstone on Wednesday, ] but when half way out in the cur | l across the river failed to do business, and to add to his terror one of the ropes on the boat got loose. and the boat was wung broadside with the cur rent. He was in great danger, as the water was fast filling the boat. No one was at hand. but his agonized cries | for help brought a crew of amateur l life savers from the survey camp at Livingstone, and with their assistance and others who came upon the scene he was released from his dangerous predicament. Salt river is now in a very dangerous condition. It is not only very high. but the water has swept in under the banks to such ar extent that they cave in for a dis . tance of several feet as soon as any heavy object walks on them. The riv- CT is still on the rise, and in all prob- ability will remain so for some time as the recent storms have covered the mountains with quite a depth of snow which will keep the river up, even after the rainy spell is oyer.
 TOntO at it's confluence with the Sal ! at Roosevelt has been a roaring tor rent for a long time. and has ever been larger than the Salt at intervals
