Wood yesterday to a Journal Miner man, when the above article, which appeared in the Tucson Citi- zen few days ago, was shown him.
 Other assertions in the article he also wished to be corrected, by say ing that he had openly informed over 100 friends in Prescott that under no circumstances would be a candidate for any office He also stated that the Lamar Cobb incident was also misleading and that ten days before the disagreement occurred between Governor Hunt and Mir. Cobb, then state engineer, he had resigned his position as member of the commis- sion of state institutions. Also that the Hunt-Cobb squabble was con fined solely to those two state off cials. Mir. Wood stated that when he became a member of the commis- sion it was understood that he would only remain during the organization of that body and after serving ex- actly one month he resigned. His relations with the governor were al ways harmonious and there was no friction between them.

 AND LINE TO PHOENIX IS CUT

The 5. F. P. X P. was hit the hardest yesterday afternoon of any time in its history by the cloudburst route, when three bridges were wiped out, over 100 feet of track was washed away, and other damage oc- cured to the right-of-way at Grand View, between Kirkland and Hill side. This was the latest report at midnight.
 The big downpour took place about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and was followed by heavy rain, lasting for over an hour. The train out of Phoe- nix due to arrive in Prescott last night at ll:44, was annulled, and the transfer system was cancelled, as the rain-soaked soil would not permit of this service.
 The path of the storm seemed to have been from the nortn to the south and the area of the cloudburst was over half a mile in width. The highwater mark showed that a ter rife downpour must have occurred, sections of the track on high ground being washed away.
