heard from the river yesterday, at. least nothing on the streets and the M. & P. office being closed no informa- ton was available there. It is safe to assume though that there will be no crossing at the Gila bridge for some days yet and as noted in yesterdays paper the Hansen ferry is out of bus
 mess all three boats and the cable hay- ing gone down stream to join the rail- road wreckage scattered between here and the gulf
 BROUGHT TO ToWN-Mr. A. L. Crenshaw who is interested in a min ing enterprise on Cave Creek and who has been very i'll for a month past was brought to the Sisters hospital yesterday. His home is in Cincinnati and he is sick of inflammatory rheuma tism. For long time he was too i'll to move or suffering too much pain to undertake the ride to Phoenix but now that he is improving a little he thought it better to get where he could have more of the conveniences of life and more regular medical attention.
 PRESCOTT FANS GETTING BUSY The Prescott Herald says that P. D. Flynn and Jake Goldy. both of whom have played with the Phoenix team are now in Prescott and that a little later it is expected that Carroll and Myers, two of the Phoenix cracks and Ander- son who played here with the Whipple team, will all be in Prescott for the summer. If all these things material ize the Prescott managers should be able to fix up some summer baseball that would be worth anybody's time to witness.
 DEATH OF PHILLIP PALMER Phillip Palmer died Saturday night at his home, No. $50 North Fourth street | after a somewhat extended illness. | He was 66 years old and came here from Texas with his family a year or so ago.

Paf- | ford the groceryman, and had other | relatives in the city, his immediate | family consisting of a wife, two sons | and two daughters, all of whom reside | here. The funeral was held yesterday | afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the | parlors of Mohn & Doris.
 MEAT FAMINE AT CLIFTON-The | Copper Era says the high water has caused almost meat famine in Clifton. TheNrailroads being tied up cattle could | not be shipped in and high water in other directions cut off the local sup ply The butchers were obliged to l slaughter almost anything they could | get in the bovine line, up in the hills above the town and bring the meat in on pack animals part of the way and in places where it was too steep for pack animals, it was carried on the backs of men. Clifton is not the best country in the world for a vegetable diet either but 1t ought to be a model town for the starvation cure"

 NARROW ESCAPES-The Clifton Era of the 4th inst. tells of two mar row escapes from the flood waters, as follows: Fred Fritz, the Blue river ranchman, whose supposed drowning was reported last week, has turned up all right. It seems that he got caught in a bend of the river with a precip- itous bluff one side, where he was held for five days by the high water. Fortunately he was well supplied with provisions. Johnny Cromb came near losing his life in the Frisco river Sun day last In company with Charley Johnson he started to cross the river on horseback at the regular crossing east of the railroad yards. His horse got into a deep hole, and then rolled
 over causing Mir. Cromb to let go of the animal MT. Cromb cannot swim, and even had be been an expert swim
