Recent Happenings In the NeIshbOr.
 hood Of Buckeye and Arlington.

Buckeye, Ariz., May 16.-(Special correspondence of The Republican.)- Elmer Clanton of Arlington will take his wife and family to Phoenix today for a week or ten days visit. Mir. Clanton is going to Wickenburg and vicinity to join in the rodeo with the Buckeye boys as soon as he returns.
 Arlington certainly deserves praise for the perseverance 1t mas displayed in rebuilding it's canal. In the fall of 1904 the owners turned the water out of the canal and gave it a thorough cleaning. They were hardly through when the floods of 1905 came down and washed their work away After making three or four attempts to get the water back in before the summer of 1905 they realized the hopelessness of their task and gave the work over until fall. taking it up with renewed vigor only to have the floods of last winter wash away more of their canal. But they stayed with it until at last they have had the pleasure of seeing water turned in by their own hands and not by a raise in the river. The water is going out at the waste gate at present but just as soon as a little repairing is done through the Chris tian ranch the water will be turned on down to the dry and parching ranches.
 MT. Deming expects to start to work with his header next Monday. He was in Phoenix last week getting all needed supplies and extras for his machine. The grain crop is rather short and light on the Buckeye this year.
 The people of the Buckeye have not yet recovered from the shock of hear ing that Henry Stewart was married in Phoenix recently. The shock shook them up worse than the San Fran cisco disaster of a few weeks ago. It looks as though at the present writing that Henry mad given an impetus to the old bachelors so they will not be able to stop until they are all married. MT. Stewart and his bride arrived from Phoenix yesterday evening en- route to their new home on the Mill etts ranch in the Enterprise valley They will visit with the brothers and sisters of the groom on the Buckeye for day or so before going on down. The people of the Buckeye certainly wish them all the joy they can squeeze out of life.
 There is a large outfit of people,

young John Snider, loaded to the fun
with n sack Of potatoes, beans, etc. He
also had captured young turkey. He
wanted me 10 take his load while he
went back for more, which / did. The
turk escaped, and I was forced to knock
il over with a stone. 1 had hardly got
back 10 camp when the thunder of can

enemy, and we Were ordered to fall
back, as Sheridan was ordered not 10

time. l managed to poach my remain
ing eggs in my lineup with water and
they tasted, oh, so good. / held on to
the young turkey, and we feasted on
him that evening. All the rest of the

account of Comrade Samuel Woffen-

is substantially correct ! Was one Of
the unfOrtunates, stood in the rain as
thousands OF others did, heard the reD-
ei drums beating the long roll until the
drumheads became wet and they could
not be heard. The water thru the
prison rose so fast that the stockade
was swept away on both sides, the wa
ter rising to the depth of 15 or 20 feet.
] have never seen such a rainfall and
SO much thunder and lightning, all of
which caused a million and more
deaths. The whole prison was swept
clean of graybacks and other yermin
for a time.

comrade or any Confederate soldier
that ! have a Hymn Book that ] found

the leg to a point. The place was in

there he was just breaking over the

we were standing, when he was met by

this time his staff and escort came
