WAS MOST SEVERE STORM IN
 YEARS
(rsom WednssAay's Daily.)

One of the most destructive storms t9 visit this county in number of years was that which swept the Sierra prieta mountains. south and southeast of here, yesterday morning, between II and l2 o'clock, destroying two bridges on the line of the Bradshaw Mountain railroad. between this city and Dewey, and another bridge n short distance south of Dewey, besides carrying away the wagon bridge over the Agua Frin, immediately cnst of Cherry Creek sta. tion.
 AS n result, railroad communication between this city and all points south of Dewey IS entirely cut off, and the local management of the railway line states that it will be late this after noon before transportation facilities are fully restored.
 Traffic between Cherry Creek and Verd. Valley points will also be sus' pended until n new bridge is built over the Agua Fria.
 Reports from other sections of the county denote that the rainfall was general in this part of the country, but SO far no serious damage IS reported except at the places mentioned. For almost an hour the storm ragged along the mountain range from Senator | mountain to lower Lynx Creek, rain sleet and hail falling in great quanti ties. The fall of slcct is said to have been the heaviest in the memory ri the oldest inhabitant. Over six inches of slect fell at the covered bridge over the Hassayampa, near Senator, and thu fall was equally as heavy in other gee ,ions of the district covered by th, storm.
 Following the sleet came n hail ant rain storm, which swelled Lynx Crecl into n roaring torrent, which carrie, all before it, and increasing in depti as it raced towards Dewey, where thu bridges were carried away.
 w. J. Mulvenon, who was at ,h Thorbccke ranch, about three mile south of here, when the storm broke stated last evening that the flood cam' down Banning Creek five feet high doing considerable damage to th, ranch and springs, from where a pip, line is being laid to the city reservoir

given at the home of Mrs. Norah
B. Redford last evening to the

entertained the older ones. In
strumental selections by Mes
danes B. D. Parker, Jr., c. l..

were artistically executed, and
solos by Mrs. Lue f. Petersen,

cited two selections in most eff
fective fashion. This opening
social, it is to be hoped, will be
but the beginning of a series of
similar undertakings by the

that should not lie dormant.
