The Santa Fe has suffered con- siderable damage to their track in various places between Albu- querque and Needles during the past week owing to the heavy rains which have been prevailing. Early Monday morning wash out near Gonzales, 27 miles east of Gallup, delayed all trains for seven or eight hours, the water having cut away the eInbank- ment making a hole twenty feet long and equally as deep, but fortunately there was no other damage, track men having dis covered the work of the rain and given the necessary warning to protect trains.
 At Adamana the water had surrounded the hotel there and has worked around one of the dykes, rendering 1t useless, and making extensive repairs necess- ary at that point i'll order to di- vert the river into it's regular channel.
 Near Manuelito the water was very high and running danger ously close to the track tor some miles west of there.
 West of Winslow heavy rains are reported at all points, Flag staff, Williams, Ash Fork and Seligman being subject to a daily downpour, Visitors from Flag staff report more water at that po1nt than for some time past.

Brock No Match for
Mcfarland

Los ANGELES, Ringside, Aug. T.
Packey Mcfarland won from Phil
Brock before the Pacific athletic club
wad IN the no seventh round tonight There
stopped the fight and gave Mcfarland
the victory when Brock was in the
last stages of distress. having been
beaten through the ropes and chased
across the ring with a rain of blows
upon his bleeding face. Brock carried
the fight to Mcfarland after the be-
ginning and fought gamely to the last.
At any time after the opening round
knockout was imminent and, the
measure of the two men being taken,
It was only question of how long
Brock could survive.
Mcfarland knocked Brock down in
the second round, but Phil was up at
the count or SeYen and gamely rushed
his man. The bell saved Brock in the
fifth round, when he was holding des-
perately to Mcfarland, when the latter
rained shower of hooks and upper
cuts on body and head. At long range
lighting Mcfarland had much the best
of 1t, his leads being clean and his
reach long, and his measure of distance
accurate.
In the mixups Brock, for time. gave
as good as he took, but was gradually
worn down by the fusillade of blows
landed by the tough Chicago boy.
In the sixth round Mcfarland fioored
Brock was on his feet before the count
OF 10 and rushed desperately at Nc
tarland seeking to nail him with a
knockout blow. Packey was too fast
and strong for his man and repeatedly
backed him against the ropes and tried
Tor the putout blow. The seventh round
was slaughter. Mcfarland repeatedly
smashed through Brooks guard and
had him staggering blindly about the
arena, his face spattered with blood
As Mcfarland made one final on
slaught TO finish his man, the referee
stepped between them and declared the
contest at an end.
