 ,NaA Oanto fell into the creek at Metcalf when 1t was a raging torrent. He wass pulled out about a quarter ot mile down the stream, and strange to say was not hurt. There is an old saying that the angels look after children and drunken men.
 MT. Chiffon, who was up from Dun can this week states that the loss was not great in that section. He lost ten acres of his barley and his fences. The town of Duncan was not damaged. Many farmers lost crops, but as whole the flood was not destructive in that section.
 The young men from the Shannon plant put in busy night conveying women and children onto the hill, and finding comfortable quarters for them.
 Geo. Reitzer, who is repair man at the Shannon concentrator, took ad- vantage of the present shut down by departing Sunday last for his old home in Texas, where he will spend a few weeks with relatives.
 The A. c. Hume, which conveyed water from the dam to the concen- trators, is almost total wreck ant will have to be rebuilt before it can be used again.
 I'M c,..a ;I-o,d @.or,non1, and the -Arizona Copper company have set a new example of what can be done in a rush. Ever since the flood they have had nearly two thous- and men at work cleaning away the wreckage and getting ready for busi- ness. The road will soon be running and the immense plant is being put in shape with great rapidity.
 w. A. Pitt had trouble with Mex ican at the Central hotel one evening after the flood in which he broke sew eral bones in his right foot and has since been laid up. The Mexican had entered the hotel and was ascending the stairs when MT. Pitt stopped him with club and then gave him few kicks for good measure. He had to kick out another Mexican earlier in the evening.
 The New England and Clifton cop per company's tram railway was damaged considerably, about one fourth being taken away. The Wa gon road from the mine to the ore bins at the foot ot the mountain was washed out by the heavy rain. This has been repaired and ore is being stored in the bins. The old Wells residence was badly flooded, which is a record breaker in the history of the land mark. It will be some time before the company can resume oper- ation.
 Clyde Prettyman. in company with another boy, took stroll up on the mountains last Sunday afternoon. Before starting the boys borrowed a sixshooter which they took along with them. When they reached the top of the mountain Clyde loaded the gun and in some manner pulled the off and the bullet took effect in his leg below the knee. It is a flesh wound but the bullet has not yet been extracted. Clyde is getting along nicely but will be laid up a while. A Mexican commonly known in
  arrested this week for touching the cash register of the A. c. drug store for S126.OO the next day after the flood. Chapo had been put out of the drug store an hour before, but returned after the store was closed and broke the glass door through which he entered. In breaking the glass he cut his hand. Blood stains were left on the cash register and it was through this clue that Chapo was arrested at the Shannon hospital, where he had gone to have the wound dressed.
 During the flood there were many people who assembled at the ap- breaches of the A. & N. M. railroad bridge to watch the mad water tear it's way on the downward rush. Pre- sently the approaCh to the foot bridge caved in, carrying with it a stranger who was lowered in the water to his arm pits and hung on to the ties of the railroad. Distress ing shrieks for help gained for him the assistance of Dave Lloyd and two other gentlemen, who rescued the man from a water crave. He was
