On Tuesday last Thomas Moore of the
Mimbres started for home with a large load of
supplies valued at over $200. He was accom-
panied by George Rickets. When they reached
the Mimbres crossing at Hicks ranch they found
the river a raging torrent overflowing the
banks. The rapid flow of the water together
with the rumbling of large boulders which were
being carried down from the mountains above,
created an appalling noise. They did not appre-
ciate the danger and attempted to cross. When
near the middle of the stream the mules were
lifted from their feet and their floundering, to-
gether with the rapid current upset the wagon,
precipitating both men into the angry water.
The mules freed themselves from the wagon
and reached the bank.
