Weather Bureau. Phoenix , Ariz. There was decidedly less snow fall in the mountain ranges during the last decade of February than at the same period in Janu ary. The majority of the corres pondents in the Little Colorado Valley report unusually heavy snowfall from the 1st to the 1-ith. The warm rains which followed caused a rapid melting thereby swelling that stream to immense proportions between the 22nd and the last of the month. Like con- ; A * . / ditions prevailed in the lower dniinatrc basins. Heavy rainfall occurred in portions of Maricopa , Yavapai , Gila and the lower sec tions of Coconino , Navajo and Apache counties. The precipita tion , coupled with the rapidly melting snowfall , filled the Agua Fria , the Gila and the Salt rivers bankfulj damaging turnpike and railroad , washing embankments and delaying traflic for many days. Water is more abundant than for many seasons past. Many storage reservoirs and canal dams were partially emptied to prevent over flows. This copious supply of water assures an early and suc cessful season. The average depth of snowfall in the mountains is about as follows : Little Colo rado Catchment basin , M.S inches ; Agua Fria and ITaspayampa bas ins , 1.1 inches ; Gila basin , 6.3 inches : Salt and Verde basins 12.8 inches.

" A man in Arkansas was recent ly tried for assault and battery with intent to kill. The state brought into court the weapons used , a rail , ax , gun , pair of tongs , saw and rifle. The defendant's counsel exhibited as the other man's weapons a scythe , pitch fork , pistol , dog , razor and hoe. The jury decided the case as fol lows : "We , the jury , would have given a dollar to have seen the fight. " When little Minnie came from skating on the Sioux there were guests at home and she commenc ed to tell of the sport she had en joyed. "You ought to have seen me , " she cried.
