A HEAVY RAINFALL
Sunday Nights storm the Heaviest of
 the Season

the Season
 Last Sundays storm proved the "king pin" of the season. In Globe the downpour lasted for five or six hours, during which the rain fell in torrents. On the hillsides small gulleys were transformed into flashing rivulets which, much to the discomfort of pe- destrians, merely wended their way to the bed of Pinal creek, which suddenly assumed the proportions of roaring stream.
 The most serious result of the storm occurred on the railroad. The passen- ger train from Bowie, with engine and three coaches, was travelling along at a snail's pace. picking it's way as best it could When it reached a point near the brickyard the situation grew de- cidedly precarious. "How does it look ahead?" asked Engineer Boardman of his fireman. "All right" responded the latter, and just at that moment the road-bed caved in and the eng inc was precipitated into the ditch. Engineer Boardman felt the motion of his engine leaving the track and, hastily putting on the air brakes. jumped. The train came to standstill so suddenly as to give the passengers severe jolt and also to stir up the general merchandise carried. Fireman Elledge was on the other side of the cab and jumped just as the engine toppled over into five feet of raging water. The tender re- mained on the track, and to this is due the fact that Fireman Elledge is today alive. As it was, he was struck on the hip by the falling engine and rather badly bruised, but the force of the tor rent brushed him aside and thus allowed him to escape.
 Down at North Globe considerable damage was done to railoa property. The bridge, just below Bankers Gar den, was practically demolished. A force of fifty Elen were at once put to work and the damage repaired to about l50 feet of trackage. The upper bridge was also badly racked. the rails and ties at one end being sagged nearly two feet off of the level. The com pany, however, repaired this in short order and the entire track to the smelter is now in good working order.
 A plain drunk who was sleeping off his potation, under the bridge near the shooting gallery got hunch probably from providence divine and escaped with his life before the raging waters of Pinal creek had a chance to reach him.
 A resident of North Globe had a new buggy in his corral. It went down the stream during the disturbance. and hasn't been heard from since. The owner is still on the lookou. for in- formation which may lead to its where abouts.
 The bulkheads in front ot the Wedge saloon were badly jared by the force of the flood but managed to remain practically intact and thus saved the premises adjourning.
 A guest at the Cactus was knocked out by bolt of lightning but soon re. covered.

Talks on OsteOpathy.

II il not the claim of DR.. A. /.
still the founder of osteopathic med
icine. nor of his followers, that the
basic facts and principles upon which
the system rests are essentially new
discoveries, but only that their appil-
cation is new. This claim cannot De
contradicted. Osteopathy, as a
science and practice both, is a6so-
lutely original and is not to be con
fused with other systems of practice,
nor with such adiuncts to medicine
as massage. Swedish movements
medical gymnastics, etc, with when
it has no connection or essential IKE,
ness whatsoever. Other schools OF
medicine accept all the isolated facti
and principles of anatomy, physiology
and pathology out of which the ne"
science Of Osteopathy has been con
structed. But no other medical teach
er before DR.. Still ever wrought thest
facts and principles into a consistent, I,
homogeneous system which is able no
only to overcome much sickness anC
deformity. but indeed to DC SO III
large share of cases much more sue
cessfully than can be accomplished o!

the public.

disturbances, hence, am sorry that
the incident proved to be so unpleas.

solidation from Odell desire to meet
me in some hall in the town Of Hood

THE advisability of consolidation OF

THOUGHT THEY WERE
BEING KIDNAPPED

Two we'll known lads of this city had
an experience one day last week that
will probably serve to keep them near
or the latchstring Of their homes in
future.
The boys met good natured friend
who had plenty of money and who was
going to Portland and he invited them
to accompany him and have good
time. They consented and he took
them to the railroad station and
bought them each a round trip ticket
On the way down in order to assure
them that they would be able to do the
town without getting out of funds he
exhibited his money to them and did
it in such an ostentatious way that he
attracted the attention of the conduc-
tor. The conductor questioned the
boys and their friend and as their
explanation was not very satisfactory
he drew the hasty conclusion that
their well meaning friend was trying
to kidnap them. In order to have
them under surveillance he took them
back to the last coach which was not
occupied and locked them in. On
reaching a station down the road he
telegraphed ahead to the Portland
police department that he had TWO
boys on the train that we're being lur-
ed away from their happy homes by a
bold bad man.
A detective was at the depot in
Portland and escorted the trio t. the
police station where they we're detain-
ed and later given "a hearing before a
police magistrate. They were having
hard time explaining the why's and
wherefores of the situation and it
looked as if they would be forced to
spend a number of hours in limbo
until their parents here could be
communicated with. Finally police
officer put in an appearance who hap
pened to be relative OF the supposed
ki1napper and he explained the pre-
dicament. On the representations of
the officer the proposed sight seeing
excursion party was allowed to depart
on the even temper Of its way with
the exception that the youngsters we're
escorted back to the station and put
aboard the train with the injunction
that Hood River was a pretty good
place for boys of tender age and that
the land of the ripe red strawberry
and rosy checked apple would furnish
excitement in plenty for them for a
few years to come.

False Alarm of Fire,

Considerable excitement was occas-
ioned Monday evening by the cry OF
"fire" which brought the people in
doors out to see flames shooting
toward the sky over the tops of build,
ings. Investigation. however, proved
that the OCCASION for yelling "tire" was
tempest in teapot as the flames
came from a Kinney that was being
burned out in a residence back OF j.
l.. Henderson, : real estate office. The
fire department promptly responded
to the call and had there been con-
flagration would have been on the spot
in time to have rendered valuable SER

ESCAPE AND REcApTuRE.
Dash for Liberty from euena Vista Re-
formatorv.

Buena Vista. Colo.-The most dar-
Ing and reckless attempt at escape In
the history Of the Colorado State Re-
formatory, located a mile east OF this
city. occurred Sunday. A running gun
night OF fve miles resulted in the kill
ing Of both bloodhounds and the ulti-
mate capture OF the escaping convicts
by Guards Taylor and Tyler at Cotton
wood Hot Springs. nve niles west Of
here.
The getaway was planned and exc
cuted by Leslie Eastman and w. II.
Ryan. Owing to Eastham's familiar
ity with the prison once. he knew that
arms were kept In the vault. the door
of which he pried on. securing three
revolvers and supply of ammunition.
He donned the coat and hat OF Book
keeper Charles Butler. left the once
and was Joined by Ryan. who is the
prison milkman. and together they left
the grounds.
One OF the guards saw this from a
distance. but thought the bookkeeper
was accompanying Ryan somewhere.
As soon as It was known the men
were escaping. the hounds were placed
on their trail and the guards followed.
Eastman was sentenced by Judge
Ben Lindsey In Denver several months
ago and was sent to this place wholly
unaccompanied. arriving here after
dark and walking to the institution.
where he presented his papers. He has
acted as stenographer in the once and
had evidently been planning his es-
cape for some time.
Ryan was sentenced from the Dis
trict Court here last January on a
charge OF robbery committed In Salidn.
The dogs were shot near the Cotton.
wood Hot Springs hotel. five miles
west, and later. when the boys were
overtaken. a number OF shots were ex.
changed between them and the guards.

PORTED CAUGHT.
WAS SUSPECTED LAST YEAR
Hishwayman Wore Black Mask-Pas-
ssnssr Tells Dramatic story
Of the Robbery.


Fresno. Cal.-Charged with holding
up sinEle-handed and robbing hve Yo-
semitic stages near Advance Saturday
night, Jack Sweet Of Grub gulch has
been arrested here and taken to Wa
wona for Identification. according to
reports just received here.
Sweet is suspected OF having held up
the Yosemite stage one year ago. No
arrest was then made because he came
forward with an alibi. Sweet owns .
small tract Of land at Grub gulch. In
the Sierras, and works as a laborer in
the mines.
The sherifY's once at Madeira has
no ohicial information concerning the,
arrest and Sherin Jones has not been
In communication with the once since
he plunged into the mountains Satur-
day In pursuit OF the bandit.
& News OF the orrest was brought here
by man named Graham from Ahwa-,
nee and all depends upon the possibil-
ity Of Identification which several
stage passengers say they are able toi
furnish.
The nrst authentic information wasi
received last night In Fresno when J.
+. Tibbett Of Riverside. who with his
wife and Miss Amy Michelbacher had
come out OF the valley. The robbery
occurred six miles from the stopping
place At Advance on the Yosemtte
side. At that place the road winds
around the side OF hill and comes to
a sudden point. Al this point the rob
her stepped out and ordered w. A.
Palmer. the driver OF the nrst stage.
to stop. The latter quickly complied.
The highwayman wore a black mask
and had sacks tied about his feet to
prevent the leaving OF any telltAle
tracks as clue for a pursuing posse.
He held In his right hand Winches-
ter. The man behind the mask and
gun ordered the passengers to alight.
The women screamed but the robber
emphasized his order and all quickly
got out OF the stage and lined up on
the road with their hands above their
heads. II. W. Elliott. from Hornitoe,
was ordered to take the express box
from the stage.
While he was waiting for the other
stage to come up. the robber shot the
lock Oh the wells-Fargo box and riied
Its contents. The bandit stopped the
other stages IN the same way, Inning
the passengers up and keeping them
covered with his gun.
When all the passengers. forty.fve
in number. were lined up the bandit
with show OF gaiety. selected young,
and pretty girl as his first assistant
and told her she was appointed coli
lector. She hesitated a moment. them
went about the work. The sirl did
not come up to the robbers require
ments. and he told her that she vas ..
poor highwayman. ordering her to-
get into line and appointing man to-
take her place. requiring him to search
the passengers.
An English woman and her daugh-
ter were in the party and when the
robber approached her she dropped In
the road in a dead faint. He only
laughed As he searched her.
The bandits camp was found where
he cooked his meals and where he
burned his DISCUSSES after the robbery.
The o6icers found $50 which the rob.
ber overlooked in the express boz
which he rined and $3.50 that tourists
had thrown into the brush.
