I All day Monday an angry torreht rushed down the Agua Fra ana auueu to the floods that were already com ing down the Salt and Gila rivers. At 9:3O Monday morning Jeff Roberts of Buckeye phoned to Moore's ranch on the Agua Fria and MT. Moore made the statement that the rlVer only lacked a few inches of being as high as it was last spring, ana was then within a few rods of his home. Iues- day morning word came to Buckeye that the Brewster family at Liberty had to temporarily abandon their home. While word was received rom Arlington that the Jaque family were surrounded by water and thelr nome cut off on an island, and they later waded out through water waist deep. The river overflowed part of the Pet erson ranch but did no damage with the exception of dropping small bit more of real estate into the angry flood. The famous Hassayampa came down with a small rise about o'clock Monday morning and the mail stage was the only rig that crossed that day. and it got over before the flood had reached here.
 Considerable damage is reported along the river on ranches that abut upon it and complaint is being made by their owners that a transfer In real estate is being made without Just consideration or their consent.
 The damage to the Buckeye dam can not as yet be accurately ascertained as the river is still too high, but it is certain that there is one hole at least in it. The head of the canal is also cnr hot are but few serious breaks in the canal and they are all on the west division as water was still coming through the canal Tuesday. The Arlington direc- tors made the statement today that they came off luckier than they had anticipated as they would not have to build more than one-half a mile of new ditch near the head and clean out two or three miles of driftwood from their c:tch.
 James R. Thorpe and Frank P. Trott arrived on the Buckeye today.
 As predicted in these columns from time to time, an event took place to- day that has long been expected, as it was past due. The event was the marriage of the two we'll known young folks, Ernest Clanton of Arlington, and Miss Gladys Coy of Buckeye. The groom is a son of Moses E. Clan ton and nephew of Supervisor Clan ton, and having grown up here from childhood he is known and we'll liked by all. The bride, daughter of c. c. Coy, is a young lady of inestimable value and general favorite with all that know her. Their many friends wish them all the happiness that they can crowd into their married life. The wedding was. a public affair and took place at the Buckeye Baptist church, Rev. l.. I. Thayer officiating
 John Montgomery jr. went to Gila Bend last week to meet his sister. Mrs. Geo. Cooke, but the floods pre- vented their return.
