STORM LOSSES LAST
 WEEK MAKE BIG SUM
(From Tuesdays Daily.)


 Oak creek never had such a vol tune of water as during the storm oi last week" said James Page, who ar rived III the city Sunday. He comes to attend a regular meeting of the ona-Oklahoma Oil & Gas Co.,, of which he is president, and added:
 That new and magnificent state bridge now under construction across the Verde river below Cottonwood has been obliterated, and what the loss will be is known only to the con tractors, the Toledo Bridge & Iron Works of Ohio It was given out that the lumber washed away would easily reach to 5000 while concrete frames and cement on the ground would swell that sum to over $lO,OO0. Pouring of concrete had just started when the wall of water hit the struc ture and wiped it out as completely as is dynamite had been used"
 MT. Page crossed the river by swimming his horse, and states there were many in teams who would take the risk to go over to the opposite side, and it is fortunate they did so.
 The Big Chino bridge near the ranch of Nelson Punteuncy on the road to Ash Fork has disappeared, and the loss to the county is about S4000 News was received yesterday to this effect by County Engineer Johnson. who leaves today for the above point to make investigations, and probably to rebuild the structure For the present traffic from that sec ton will be suspended.
 The new county bridge at Hum boldt had a narrow escape from being washed away, and was saved only by the timely action of Road Foreman Williams, who happened to be in that section with his crew. It required hard work to hold this structure in place and Williams is given credit for good work.
 J. E. Swigert, all arrival yesterday from Turkey railroad station, states that Turkey creek went over the top with the biggest flow ever known. Placer miners who had ground Scraped ready to begin sluicing lost all their labors and a big sum, un doubtedly. The high water struck the new custom mill plant below the station about four miles and did some damage. Ore dumps were washed away and mine workings flooded.
 Grant Carter, in the city yesterday from Kirkland valley, stated farm fences were picked up and carried away, while snow accumulated on the big trees and caused many to topple over.
 From all other outside localities reports are being received of losses in property while roads arc closed to traffic, especially to mining camps south of this city it being impossible to pass through Crook canyon or over Senator summit on account of deep snoW...-

GAIL GARDNER SUED;
 BREACH OF PROMISE
(From Sundays DailYl


 One of the richest scandals in high life is to be revealed to the public gaze in a suit for breach of promise, that has been called up for a special trial on Wednesday, December 3. Gail Gardner, young, handsome, society favorite, is to be haled before the au- thorities on charge of breaking the heart of a young woman, whose iden- tity thus far has been concealed.
 Gardner is well to do young ranchman, son of Mir. and Mrs. J. I. Gardner of this city. He was, for many months, in the aviation service of the United States, and his return from the army, dolled up in snappy uniform and no less snappy little mustache, caused, it is rumored, more than one heart-Autter among the fair sex.
 The trial will attract many specta- tors, it is expected. On account of the prominence of the parties in volved, the case will not be heard be- fore the regular court, but will be tried by a special tribunal, to be con vened in the Yavapai Club building at 8 p. m. Wednesday. ]. H. Morgan, a distinguished jurist, has been called in to conduct the trial. Lester Ruff ner will represent the plaintiff, with LeRoy Anderson and E. H. Loveridge as his counsel Gardner will be de- fended by P. w. O'Sullivan and John A. Ellis.
 It is understood that there will be little if any attempt on the part of members of the special venire, to dodge jury duty, as many of the tales men are anxious to get a crack at the case. It is even inferred by some that a number of the jurors, includ ing Chris Totten, the probable fore man, have a decided bias against Gardner, for the manner ill which he has played fast and loose with the affections of the charming plaintiff.
 R. B. Westervelt will act as clerk and Richard Lamson as bailiff. It is that both sides are pre- pared to fight the case hard, and have secured the attendance of many wit nesses, some of them prominent in the business and social world. Cor don Clark and Dr. H. T. Southworth are understood to be among the prominent witnesses in behalf of the plaintiff and A. s. Barnes and Dr. ] w. Finn for the defendant
 Special arrangements arc to be. made by Manager Tom Ellis of the Club to make room for the large crowd that will undoubtedly attend the trial

DENIES REPORT THAT
 SHEEP ARE PRESSING
CFrom Tuesdays Dsily.)

Answering reports in circulation that sheep were perishing on the drive from the north to the south ill the region of Williamson valley, a flat denial was given yesterday by c. H. Harding, of Navajo county, who arrived by train from Skull Valley.
 He stated it was estimated there were about 180,000 head now enter ing and passing through the Skull valley driveway and no losses what ever had occurred from deep snow or other causes incidental to bad wealth CT. The sheep are in fine form, from good grazing last summer ill the north and would stand the light pri- vations being passed through. The desert" is one big oasis this winter, green feed being abundant every where, the climate is mild and the season will be by far the best ever known.

ROADS HARD HIT BY
 BIG STORM LAST WEEK
(From Fridays Daiiy.l


 The first stage into Prescott from Humboldt since Wednesday arrived Sunday night, and the driver reported one of the most diseageeable trips he had ever made owing to mud and snow. It was with difficulty that Lynx creek was crossed, and after ward the danger of making this haz- ardous trip was realized.
 A visitor from Phoenix on business named Dalton left Prescott Sunday morning on the return trip home, but he never crossed Lynx creek, his car turning down stream when near the west side. He managed to back up to the entering point, saving himself and his big automobile from serious results. A man with him jumped out with a rope in his hand, and held the machine in place until it got lodged on a reef, thereby averting what might have been bad state of af- fairs.
 The road out of Humboldt to Mayer IS said to be open, but only railroad travel is being indulged ill for the present.
 Places on the Dewey-Verde valley road are said to be impossible and half dozen cars are reported ma roOned ill mud and snow. Only horse men are coming in and they take to the foothills and cut across country. Two teams left the city Sunday afternoon for mines to the south, but returned, snow and mud making the trip impossible.
