Roosevelt. Ariz., Oct. 25.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican.)- )- The lower coffer dam had been repair ed and the water pumped from the eX- cavation on the dam and all was being made ready to dry out the motors and resume the masonry work on the dam when the flood of Wednesday stupped all progress. The river began to rise on Wednesday and Thursday the sec ond flood came and by Friday noon the maximum height was reached. A slight fall was noticed Friday evening and as the indications for fair weather seem good il Es hoped no further rise will follow immediately.
 Tuesday fine large wild cat wan dered 10 the dam and seeing so many engaged and on so important a work decided to make the employees a visit. All went very well until 1t came in contact with J. Urquhart the govern ment inspector and then the cat be came bewildercd. Wishing to relieve it lof its embarrassment a laborer struck and killed 1t with his shovel.

APPEALED DAMAGE SUlT
 COMf $ FROM TUCSON
The Electric Light Company Objects to a Verdict for the Plaintiff.

The papers in the case of Mrs. F. F.. Goulding of Tucson aganiSt the Tucson
 Gas and Electric company were re- ceived at the office of the supreme court clerk yesterday. The case is not
 brought up on the record but on an
 agreed statement of facts as was pro
 vided for by the last legislature. The defendant company appealed from a judgment of s1l10 for the plaintiff.
 This is a damage suit in which the plaintiff sought to recover from the defendant, damages for the breaking of her arm in falling over guy wire. the property of the electric company. , The statement of facts is very brief and includes the testimony of three witnesses. Mrs. Goulding, her compan-
 ion in the disaster. Mrs. Ida Achibald and one witness for the defense. The statement sets forth on the part of the plaintiff that the pole to which the guy wire was attached was where it ought
 not to have been, in an open space through which roads were running promiscuously in every direction" The wire was not protected in any way and could not be seen on a moderately dark night. IL was the contentiOn' of the defendant that the accident was result in part of the plaintiffs con
 tributory negligence and the pole and
 wire were not where anybody had any business to be after night.
 The most interesting witness was Mrs. Archibald who corroborated all that Mrs. Goulding had said and made It little stronger. Mrs. Goulding had stated that she and Mrs. Archibald had just left her home to catch a street car and that they ran into the wire and both were thrown down.
 Mrs. Archibald was asked on cross- examination if they were not hurrying at the time of the collision with the wire. Naturally" she replied. If you are going to catch a car. you don't sit down"
 But you did sit down." suggested the attorney.

Yes" replied Mrs. Archibald. that is, we fell.'
 In order to strengthen his testimony of contributory negligence. the attorney for the defense asked, Were you talk ing?"
 Certainly We were talking" replied the witness thereupon the attorney echoed. certainly you were talking. '' as if for the first time the foolishness of asking such a question where two or more women are concerned had just burst upon him.
 Regarding the manner of the impact upon the wire, the attorney. asked Did you hit straight into it?'
 Yes" replied Mrs. Archibald. 'w butted right into it.
 In reply to a question as to which of the many informal roads they had taken on leaving the Goulding resi- dence the witness said: We took the left hand road. You could not con scientiously go any other way without hitting into the wire"

COLUMBIA CREW TOO
 MUCH FOR HARVARD
CAMBRIDGE MEN DEFEATED BY THREE-oUARTERs OF LENGTH IN A SPECTACULAR RACE ON THE CHARLES RIVER.

Boston, May u.-Harvard was out gen eraled and outrowed by the Varsity eight" from Columbia university of New York today on the Charles river The crew from Cambridge was defeated by three-quarters of length on a course of ono and seven-eights miles Harvard started in too late. Her spurt was made at the end of the course. Columbia's s official time was 9:16, Harvards 9:1S
 From a spectacular standpoint the race was good, Haryard's magnificent. though hopeless, try for victory on the home stretch drawing cheers. The form of the Crimson oarsmen was better than that of the Columbia eight. but the stroke of the men from Cambridge was notlceably lack ing in power.
 A wintry day with rain and snow changed into an agreeable and sunny afternoon just before the two eghts got into position.
 Both crews caught the water well, Har- yard having the better of the start. Co., lumbia gradually drew ahead and at the mile there was open water between the shells.
 At the beginning of the last three fourths of a mile Harvard hit up her stroke. The boat shot ahead untily only half length separated 1t from Colum- bia
 Under increased strokes both crews shot down to the finish
 Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., as one of the judges at the finish line, dropped the flag whitch proclaimed Columbia the winner
 The last effort of the New York eight had surged them forward a trihe so that the shell crossed the line three-quarters of length ahead
