UNIDENTIFIED MAN
 TAKEN ILL AND D|Es

An unknowni man described by the police as being about 40 years of age, we'll dressed, and with hair slightly tinged with grey~ fell off bench yes- terday afternoon while sitting in the city hall plaza. A crowd quickly CO., lected, a doctor was called. and the man was taken to the Sisters hospital, where he died within a. few minutes
 According to bystanders, the man stopped at little fruit stand at the northeast corner of the plaza and pur- chased a bunch of grapes. He then went over and sat down to enjoy his purchase. He had hardly taken a. taste of the fruit when he was seized with convulsions. He was carried to the was given.
 Dr. George Broadway, who was called, ordered him taken to the hos pitai, but it was found there he was beyond all aid. The body was taken to the undertaking parlors of Moore and Mcclellan, where it awaits identifica- tion. It may be stated incidentally, that the fruit had no part in causing the mans illness.

carry the proposed bridge. the extra cost of $6,600 being divided. The ex- penditure of this amount is expected to save the state and county at least S1V0 600 in the cost of the bridge. The extra work is to be put in by the con tractor building the dam. and to be there and ready at such time as an appropriation can be secured to com plete the bridge.
 Meantime, the engineers figure that traffic, except at times of extreme high water, will be able to cross the river on the lower apron of the dam, up to point when there is perhaps as much as six inches of water flowing over the top. This Sill rarely occur, as the big gates # the dam will care for any ordinary Excess, and floods in excess of their capacity are rare
 The approaches, the engineers be- heve, should be from the mesa, coming around the left side of the hill from the present site of the construction camp and approaching the dam from the downstream side This for the reason that the road will eventually nave to be located on the mesa for some distance back in any event. on account of the low ground and washes where the present road is located
 The dam construction is coming along at an amazing rate" said Mad dock last night after his return. Tn the 50 days they have been at work they have made such rapid progress that if continued there is no doubt of the accomplishment of the avowed ob- Ject of the company to have the dam completed and ready to turn the water into the canals and onto the project before the next growing season.
 The new dam is being constructed in almost the same location as the old rockflll dam that went out in 1892 and has never been replaced. The same intake a solid masonry structure. will be used and the same main canal. which has been lying idle for 27 years.

TEMPE BUILDINGS ARE
 DESTROYED BY WORST STORM YET RECORDED

TEMPE, Aug. 25.-Last Saturday night will be long remembered by the people of Tempe and vicinity, because of the terrible and destructive storm, which ragged furiously for fully an hour. The storm has been verified as being the most destructive and terrible storm ever witnessed in the Salt Aiver valley by settlers who have been living here for over 40 years.
 Two business buildings were de- stroyed and countless others damaged.
 People who went to sleep under a clear sky, thiclxly studded with stars, were suddenly awakened near mid night, to find a most terrible wind raging fiercely over the country. The wind came in the form of a cyclone, roaring and beating, twisting and hurl- ing every obstacle it encountered. This fearful wind ragged for fully 30 minutes and was followed by a drenching rain and one of the most defying electrical storms this valley has ever before known.
 The blackness of the clouded sky was continually illuminated by vivid streaks of lightning and the uproar Of the thunder necessarily deafened the
 
 lievable to the people of the valley, hav- | ing never seen anything of this kind before. and is estimated at about $25s- GOO The wind swept around the Butte and through the business part of town more furiously than elsewhere. As the wind whirled around the Butte, it prac- tically ruined Judge Kingsbury's beau tiful yard, planted thickly with vines and trees which have previously with stood storms for 9 or 30 years. These trees and vines were uprooted and thrown into a huge entanglement, scarcely tree being left standing. A huge cottonwood tree blew over on the roof of MT. Sanders house smash ing the roofing.
 The Price Wickliffe. Ed Carr. Gar | field Goodwin, Dave Teeter buildings and the grocery store on the corner of Mill avenue and Fourth street, all suffered broken window plates. The awnings and porches of three -fourts of the business houses were complete 1 ly demolished, and carpenters were kept busy all day Sunday repairing and rebuilding torn down roofs, etc.
 The freight depot was unroofed and finally this huge brick building caved 1 in before the powerful wind. A. J. Peters lost the tin roofing to his large hay barn and the HaIstead Lumber Go. lost most of their roofing. The Butte garage was completely destroyed, noth- ] ing being left but two lone cement 1 pillars near the street. This garage was carried by the wind about a block away from it's original place. Frank Fogaps barns were twisted and thrown l into kinqsbury's yard.
 The Normal buildings were not in : 1 jured much, except for the roof being blown off the grandstand, and a few 1 trees blown down. The damage done 1 in the country has not heen estimated I yet, but it is evident that the cotton was damaged considerably. Huge cottonwood trees were blown across the main roads and yesterday the traffic 1 in the country was held up until 1t WAS | possible to remove the huge obstacles A windmill was twisted and thrown
 to the ground on the W. T. Cummings

DASHED INTO CURB
 TO AVOID COLLISION

In an attempt to prevent a head on collision between the car he was driv- ing and another machine coming from the opposite direction, P. L. Whiticer. of Mesa, narrowly escaped serious in jury yesterday. when he deliberately drove his car into the curb, practically wrecking it and sustaining minor in- juries himself.
 According to Whiticer, the other car was much larger than his, and was encroaehing on his territory. He was forced to choose between a collision and taking his chances with the curb. He chose the latter, but was chagrined 10 find after the accident that his sacri- flee was not appreciated. He did not receive as much as a thank your from the driver of the other car, whose name he was unable to learn.
 The smaller car driven by Whiticer broke a front spring. demolished both lenders. and was unused lip in general. Whittier sustained a bad sprain of the right elbow.

MESA DISTRICT HAD HEAVY WIND STORM
 WITH GREAT DAMAGE

MESA. Aug. 25-The heaviest wind storm of years occurred at midnight of Saturday and wrought more or less havoc throughout the Mesa section.
 Trees were uprooted, awnings torn away portions of the roof of the Franklin and North schools blown off, outhouses upturned. hay barns com pletely destroyed. the new residence of J. F. Reynolds and the home of john Brown wrecked, while the cotton of these two ranchers and a host of oth- CTS is badly damaged by the twisting force of the wind.
 It is considered as remarkable that no accidents are reported, as for a time from the roofs and awnings of various stores and residences.
 It has been impossible thus far to es- timate the damage to the cotton, but a drive through the farming districts shows a number of fields where the stalks are bent almost to the ground and many of them broken or with the limbs stripped off The cotton that bent over most easily was that which had just been irrigated, leaving the ground soft The damage occurred principally too where the fields were most exposed to the fury of the tenn pest. on the northeast portion, the di- rection from which the wind came
 Following the wind with it's dense clouds of dust came rain that lasted for more than a half hour. A pecu- liarity of the storm was that after it had travelled on to the southwest there arose from that direction a prolonged roar that continued for some minutes and was followed in it's turn by a 20-mile wind that was stiflingly hot. Particulars as to the damage through the country districts are not obtain able, since many wires were put out of commission by falling trees and limbs.
 A cotton company official who made an inspection of the cotton fields throughout the district found the cot ton in fields east of town badly blown. but expressed the opinion that much of the damaged cotton would be revived by the sun, reducing the damage.
 The most damage in the district was found by him southwest of town, be- tween Mesa and Tempe. In this sec ton the terrific storm was accom- panied by hail in many localities, and cotton plants were pretty well broken. He estimated the probable loss in this section at 25 per cent of the crop in many fields.

2S w. Washington Street Phoenix, Ariz.

Monday, SeptemDeF D. 15lS.
 Reports from High Schools, Col leges, and Universities indicate that they will be filled to capacity at the beginning of their Fall Terms. This means that the Business Colleges will also be filled.

 We have room for 130 students at a time. We have enrolled 56 since the first of July. Many of these will be ready for positions early in September or October This leaves room for about 100 new students. We wish to fill our rooms at the opening of the Fall Term, and then take in new students only as the others finish the course.
 For full information call at the College Office. or write to Colonel E. M. Lamson. President.
