BOTH BIRTHDAY OF BIG DAM
 DISASTER
(From Sundays dsiiy.f

Sad memories are recalled today of February 2, 1890, the 3Oth ami versary of the destruction of the Walnut Grove dam, and the loss Of over $ human beings by drowning. This catastrophe was the greatest ever known in Arizona, and under climatic conditions which are similar
 to that now prevailing over the county, in rain falling heavily and steadily, although in the long ago the downpour began on the first of February and did not cease until the evening of the 22nd.
 In looking backward time has only ripened sweet thoughts of the many familiar ones who are gone, and in this connection all of the principals of that great water storage undertak- ing, the initial one of its character in the southwest, have passed into mem ory. H. s. NanBuren, the head of the company; his chief engineer, Col A. o. Brodie, and score of lesser officials, many contractors and able attaches, all are no more in this day
 In the gloom of the past, however, there is one solacing thought to cherish that Mrs. Brodie (then Mary Hanlon), survives, and this worthy woman still retains in Arizona kindly thoughts fthe many for her heroic struggle in miraculously missing the fate of others of her sex when through what seems a. .providential act she was saved. Mrs. Brodie, since leaving Arizona, is now resid- ing at the old home in East Haddon- field, New Jersey, where only a few years ago she laid away her beloved husband the last of the able men who figured in the building of that water storage enterprise.
 Of this disaster there is recalled that pathos that will endure for time in the cruel sacrifice of so many lives, men, women and children, who were swept into eternity like a flash Of the 100 souls in the path of the raging waters, less than 30 escaped, and of those who are gone there are. on the banks of the Hassayampa nearly SO unmarked graves. Nearly a score are missing, and where they are sleeping no one knows.
 This water storage system was in itiated primarily for hydraulic min ing of a gulch paralleling on the west the Hassayampa river, for which purpose two dams were constructed. The storage supply point was near Nagoner, in Walnut Grove, where a dam was built of about 445 feet across the stream of a height of l1O feet, impending approximately 100000 acre feet Official weather data for that watershed precluded any possi- bility of it oyerflowing, when two big gates and a spillway were added This prediction proved fallacious, however, and after three weeks of a continuous downpour it oyerflowed . and on the morning of February 2, 1 at exactly , o'clock, the massive

POSSE AND DEPUTIES OUT

Shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Undersheriff Ed F. Bow CTS was informed over the telephone by a woman whose name could not be learned, that the Camp Verde bank had been held up and robbed and that two men, Americans, had ridden south, apparently toward the Black Canyon country.
 Instantly a chain of deputies and posses was thrown across the Black Canyon by telephone. Sheriff Davis was returning from Jerome by auto mobile, and deputy was dispatched from Humboldt to meet him with the information. Phoenix was notified so that the Maricopa county authori- ties might close the southern end of the Black Canyon, in case the rob bers had managed to elude the Yava- pal officers or to beat them to the entrance to the canyon. Up to late hour last night, however, nothing had been heard to indicate the success or failure of the man-hunt
 Two Swapping Outlaws
 Descriptions of the robbers, trans mitted by telephone, indicated they were both about six feet and weighed in the neighborhood of 1S0 pounds Both carried rifles and pistols and each had a growth of beard, show ing they had not been in town for at least fortnight. They rode sor- rel horses, according to Butler, who had been forced to accompany them about a mile from Camp Verde.
 The early version of the story was that Butler had been gagged and bound to a tree and that he was re- leased by a woman who later rode to a telephone on the Arizona Power company line and notified the authori- ties. This has not been confirmed, however.
 The description as received here said the men were tanned, bearded and one wore heavy black mustache.
 The reason the haul was not larger was explained by Butler. He had just thrown the time lock on the vault, and only a small amount of loose change was left in the teller's cage Usually the street and the bank building are filled with people, but just al noon, both were deserted. The robbers had evidently studied the situation and availed themselves of this fact.

HOTEL FAVORED BY MEMBERS
 OF CHAMBER
(From Saturdays Dai1y)


 That Prescott, Arizona, needs a new, modern, first class hotel, re- gardless of whether it be a tourist, commercial or a combination of the two, is the concensus of opinion O; the chamber of commerce.
 The ~eport of the hotel committee was received at meeting of the chamber of commerce Thursday night.
 Chairman Anderson is of the firm belief that such a hotel can be COZ structed in Prescott within a req sonable length of time. Apparently there is no question but what the cit izens of this community will back up the proposition, he said. The bene- fits to be derived therefrom will be countrywide. The broadmindednes of the whole affair is shown when hotel men like John Duke of the St. Michael, the Congress and the Head hotels put themselves on record that such an institution is needed; that it will not hurt their business, but will tend if possible to increase 1t.
 Every man attending the meeting voiced his sentiment in favor of building a hotel. They did not agree as to the kind of hotel or the 1oca- ton.
 James A. Hope favors q combina- ton hotel, believing that a tourist hotel is bound to come later. Not only Prescott but the entire county is awakening to the wonderful pos abilities of this section, but accord ing to Hope, at the present time a combination hotel is the one vitally needed.
 Dr. Yount did not favor further ad- vertising of this section until accom- modations could be provided for those who want to come. He was decided on this point and believed that with first class hotel in this To- cality, an advertising campaign could be conducted with success. People want to come to Prescott, but what are you going to do with them after they get here, with the accommoda- tions as they are at present."
 George Rufner wants to see a good hotel come to Prescott, regardless of the location, but he offered his prop erty for $25,OOO, $5OOO of which he would take in stock in the hotel com pany.
 L. C. Derrick believed that every effort should be put forth to have such a hotel constructed. He ia vored a combination and stood ready to subscribe, according to his means, as did every man who attended the meeting.
 Commander Updegraff, who came to Prescott merely to enjoy the eli mate, has since built beautiful

BIG DAMAGE SUIT WON BY COMPANY
 IN MOHAVE COUNTY
CFrom Sundays Daily)

Victory in a highly important law suit perched on the banners of Judge J. A. Ellis in the Mohave county Su- perior court last week at Kingman. The judge returned to Prescott and reported a verdict in behalf of the defendant in the S20,OO0 damage suit against the Arizona Mossback Min ing company, filed by the heirs of miner named McCullouch, who was killed in the mine.
 The suit alleged negligence on the part of the defendant, but this was disproved, and the common law ac- ton resulted in a verdict for the com- pany.
