DOlNGS IN PHOENIX AND
THE SALT RIVER VALLEY
From the Phoenix Enterprise.

From the Phoenix Enterprise.
Friday last at noon K. l.. Mcdonald
walked from the territorial prison at
Yuma free man. His term, taking
into account the credit marks he has
received Tor good conduct, expired at
that time. Mcdonald, who was the
superintendent of the Phoenix schools,
was convicted of forgery.
The best news Phoenix has had for
some time is the report which comes
from Prescott TO the local Santa Fee
offices that work on the Arizona and
California road has been resumed and
that the line, now some sixty miles
from the Colorado river, will be pushed
at once to Parker, river town. The
report became current since Mr.. Muir
phys return from the east, and no
doubt the order to resume work was
made by him.
The board of supervisors of Maricopa
county will place sheet iron signs at
cross roads points on the Maricopa
desert for the guidance of travellers.
These signs will greatly reduce the
danger of desert travel, as at present
many travellers become lost and die Of
thirst. 1t is not known that any have
been lost this summer, but even if this
were the case, it would not likely be
known until fall, when travel is safer
and when the find of bleached bones
mutely tells the tale of death in its
most horrible form.
From the Mesa Free Press.
DIR. Lind and his assistant, Mr.. Kirk
patrick, of Roosevelt, have been in the

warehouse for the use of the govern
ment in this town, at some centra
point and where the two railroads coulc
build spur to it and save the hauling
of commodities that are in constant use
for the great work that is now going
on at the Tonic dam.

THE NEWS OF TUCSON
AND OF PIMA COUNTY

From the Tucson Citizen.
The graders making the road bed for
the Twin Buttes railroad, are now en-
camped fifteen miles south of Tucson,
at the site of an ancient village. They
have unearthed number of pieces Of
pottery, glazed inside and out, and en-
tirely different from any made by the

1t was one of the largest black bears
ever killed in the Rincons. 1t was
brought to the city this morning by a
Mexican who had been at the Myers
camp. Four shots We're necessary to
kill the animals. Myers was the first
to discover the creature and he shot it
in the body, but instead of falling over
it came directly for him. Charles
Goodwin let fly two shots at the big
black fellow, but the bear merely let
out snort of pain and continued di-
rectly for Myers. The under sheriff
neither ran nor flinched an inch. When
the bear was within seventy-fve feet
of him he took careful aim and the re-
suit was a dead bear.

Rail Communication Severed.

The storm Of Thursday ulghJ or last week played havoc in all directions, and for several days Nogales was cut off from all com munication. The train from Tue son due Thursday evening reached the line city Saturday night. Com munication over the Sonora rail- way was interrupted until We'd nesday afternoon, when d trans fer was affected near Imuris and passengers who had been upon the road from Thursday the preceding week came over the break. Those going south who had been held at Nogales were taken to the break and went their way rejoicing.
 Upon the Sonora railway there were several very serious breaks. One, about a mile north from Santa Ana, had destroyed several hundred feet of track. Monday evening trains passed oyer the temporary track. Up to that time trains were run between Santa Ana and Guaymas. With that break overcome they were then run to Imurs. The train reach. ing the latter point Tuesday even- ing was held there until Wednes- day noon. Then it was moved out to the break about one kilometer north, where bridge across the Magdalena river had been partly carried away. New piles had been driven, and the structure made safe for foot passengers. A train from Nogales, with all the passen gers who had been water bound here, had reached the north end of the break, and a transfer was made, couple of hours being re- quired to carry over all baggage, express and mail About two o'clock the work was accomplished, and the train returned to Nogales, covering the distance in 24 hours.
 Beside the two serious washouts noted there were many minor breaks, to repair which took time. One was right at the south end of the railway yard at Nogales. In the work of repair Manager J. A. Naugle, Superintendent Matthews, Trainmaster W. c. Budge and Roadmaster Mestain gave indefati- gable attention, and exerted every energy toward effecting the earliest possible transmission of trains.
 The delayed passengers made the most of the situation, and those coming from the south proved all jolly and entertaining under difficulties. They all voted the meals at the Edwards hotel at Magdalena as tout of sight" where they proceeded to put them, in large quantities.
 Sunday morning Messrs. A. l.. Conard and Frank Olsen of Noga- les, J. H. Henley of Hays Camp, THE OASIS editor and Mrs. Bird, taking a four horse vehicle at Santa Ana, made their way to Magdalena, enjoying a delightful drive of three hours over the hill road, that along the river having suffered as seriously as the rail- road. At Magdalena Messrs. Con- ard and Henley took saddle horses and proceeded, the latter to Hays Camp, and Mir. Conard coming to Nogales, reaching here Tuesday. Colonel Kosterlitzski of La Gendar- ncria Fiscal kindly rendered Mr. and Mrs. Bird his ambulance and an escort to bring them to Nogales via Cocospera and Santa Cruz; but

ANOTHER MORNING TRAIN.
Chamber of Commerce. Has Heard
From General Manager Kenly Re-
spectins Train From Florence.

Secretary Reardon Of the Chamber
Of Commerce has received a letter
from General Manager Kenly Of the
Atlantic Coast Line saying that the
request for a morning train from Ma
rion, s. c., via Florence and Sumter
to Bishopville, and which will leave
Marion and Florence at a reasonable
hour after daylight instead OF or 3
O'Clock in the morning, and which
will make direct connection with all
morning trains out of Sumter, has
been referred to General Superintend-
ent of Transportation E. Borden for
consideration.
The request for special excursion
rates from all points within a reason
able distance to Sumter on Saturdays
has been referred to Traffic Manager
II. NJ. Emerson.
The secretary thinks that the mer-
chants of Sumter could help to secure
cheap rates and the special train too
If they will only interest themselves
enough by letting the Atlantic Coast
Line railroad see that the merchants
are behind the request, as the rail-
roads do more business with the mer-
chants than any other class of citizens
in Sumter.
