 With a torrent again raging through Brewery Gulch, several hundred feet of walls down in various parts Of the city and District. with lowering skies and many inches of snow on the bin. sides, the city Of Bisbee is again threatened with repitition Of De cembers high water With an actual consumaton Of the threat the local situation would only be in keeping with conditions reported 10 exist in ot er parts of the state.
 A heavy fall of snow was had in t.e section yesterday With rain and wind u;ermittently swisAing the city during the night playing havoc with many roof and unstable parts Of resi- dences. barns. and business touses. dawn brought a change. The second breath of daylight founda the wind sutsidng slightly, and the cutting Iaindors were changed into heavy snow particles.
 T-is condition continued through cut the day ending towards dark and leaving several inches Of sodden snow in the canyon and many more inches undoubtedly, along the sides oi the hills
 The precipitation of Friday, Friday night and yesterday comRleted much of the damage started by the floods of December In the previous storm many walls trails and other artificial construction in rhe city was thorough ly saturated In a. great many instanc os, however. the walls stood and held the sodden ground behind it. TEe dry spell, following the heavy rains, evap- orated some of the stored water but left the ground weakened in many places.
 IL was in this condition that the rains of the past few days struck the District As a result @ very little moisture. soaking through, completed what the former storm commenced.
 The first bad fall occurred on O. K. street directly in front of the Terrace house and to the south of the New Brooks Apartment house. At this point there is a twenty-five foot wall
 It was thought 70 be thoroughly sub stantial in every way and no one imagined 1t would fall from the press ure behind it McWorther's Candy Company did not think the wall would fall for late last evening their deliv- cry automobile was brought in from a trip 10 Douglas and run into the stall al the bottom of the wall
 About five o'clock yesterday morn ing the buildings in the neighborhood were shook by a heavy impact Inves- tigation showed a large part of the wall down Further investigation in. dicated that the McWhorter machine was completely buried up and broken beyond repair Another machine owned by William Barr, was on the north side of the vacant lot but that end of the retaining wall stood.
 Another fall of wall occurred in Tombstone Canyon near the entrance of Moon Canyon. Some years ago a retaining wall was erected in that section by private parties to protec their property lt was built on bed rock Consequently when the floods of December made their way througl the channel it was thought the wal would go under it It stood, however much to tine wonder of the street sup eryisors and others who investigated the matter at the time Yesterday water completed the work and as result two hundred and fifty feet ar proximately, cayed into the bed O the creek.
 Many other small accidents wer reported in the District yesterday Many roofs were torn apart by th heavy wind and many small and ur supported walls went 70 the ground
 Brewery Gulch was again more O less isolated The Orpheum oorne Again formed an island in the plaE and water coursed down the Gulc and Review Alley most of the day
