murderer here for trial. Thus
another of the scoundrels engaged
in the most inhuman hatchery is
likely to meet with his desert.
Let him have a fair trial, and let
him hang, for hang he must. If,
by any miserable technicality or
legal foolery, he should slip
through the meshes of the law,
then, people of Yuma, you know
what to do, and unless we greatly
mistake your feeling you will
surely do ii. The salutary effect

A GOOD SHOWING FOR YUMA
COUNTY.

The Tax Roll of Yuma County,
for the year 1873, amounted to
512. 944 Is, of which was collected
512.440 70, leaving delinquent
only five hundred and four dol
lars. The greater part of the de-
linquent tax is on mines and
mortgages, which are habitually
delinquent. Can any county in
the Territory, or in any other Ter
ritory or State, make better
showing? These figures spea
volumes, not only for the prompt
ness of our people in paying their
taxes, but for the conduct of Ouf
county officers in handling the
funds collected.

together, engaged in letter writ

India, the other was a female
friend, part OF Of whose family re-
sided il that faF-off land. The
former was writing to his mother
in India. When the letter was
finished, his friend offeret to en-
lose il in hers, to save postage.
this he politely, declined, saying,
eff it be sent separately 1T will
reach her sooner than if sent
through friend; and perhaps il
will save her a te ,r" His friend
was touched with his tender re.
gard for his mothers feelings.
md felt, with him, that it was
worth paying thS postage TO save

Would that every boy and girl,

young woman, were equally

FINE HORSES.

H. c. Hooker, Esq, arrived
from California, a few days since
with the finest span of horses
ever seen in Arizona. Mr.. Hook
err paid two thousand dollars in
gold for the two Horses. They
are beauties to look upon. One,
jackson Rolla Gold-dust," is a
bright bay stallion. s years old,
stands 16 hands high and weighs
1850 lbs, of very fine style, with
out spot or blemish. When four
years old, he trotted his mile in
2.4O. He was sired by the cele-
brated horse, "Gold-d ust,'' Ken
lucky, and is of the true |rgan
stock. The other, "Peacs )" is
Il beautiful dapple gray stallion,
years old, 154 hands high,
weighs 1850 TBS of me style and
a fast trOtter. Peacock was raised
by Leander Sawyer, of San Ma
teo, Cal. He is of the Messenger
stock. and Was sired by Sawyer
Gray Messenger" They are
both magnificent horses, and Of
course, gay and high mettre@,
were driven harnessed to a light
buggy, with the greatest ease and
safety, both being of the mos
kind and tractable disposition.
They go to the ranch of VIM. B.
Hooper & Co. & H. G.. Hooker,
about one hundred miles east of
Tucson. near Camp GRAFT, where
they will be kept for the purpose
of raising fine colts. Mr.. Hooker
left here Monday evening en-
route for said ranch.
This enterprise of introducing
fine stock into the Territory can
not be too highly commended.
It is another step in the right di-
rection, and will rebound not on
ly to the benefit of the parties i'm
medIately concerned, but to the
whole Territory. Sometime since
we read in the Citizen, an account
of the introduction. of some fine
bulls upon the said ranch, by Mr..
Hooker. Here then is a start
toward raising both cattle and
horses Of the finer breeds in
Arizona.
We hope to see this example
followed by other enterprising
men, until scrub stock shall be
supplanted by the noble animals
of the high grades. After start
is once made it costs no more to
raise a fine animal that will bring
a high price anywhere, than it
does to raise poor miserable scrub
that will hardly sell for anything
The pasture in Arizona is the
best in the world. And when we
add to this an incomparably fine
climate, where stock require no
shelter the year round, it will be
seen that here is an oppG tunity
for the intelligent stock breeder
that he cannot find elsewhere.

mares on the way down from Ca

NEW YEARS BALL.

n II
This grand and very pleasant
affair came off at the new Court
House on New Years eve. 1t
was one Of those enjoyable affairs
that are seldom met with in a
life time.
The weather was delightful.
The doors Of the hall were thrown
open and it. was neither too warm
or too cool The floor of the spa
cious Court room is magnificent
one. The attendance was very
large embracing the beauty, ia
shion, chivalry and soiidity OF
Yuma, with the welcome pres
ence of the officers Of the U. S.
Army from Fort Yuma and the
QuartermaSter and COmmissary
Dep0tS,and a number of strangers.
Every body and his wife and
daugh ters were there. The Ia
dies were beautiful, graceful,
charming, facinating and kind.
The music was excellent, led by
that superb violinist, Mr.. Jotii
Mccain. Tancing was kept up
with spirit until the old year look
his final lave, and 1874 made his
bow to the world, when the march
was taken up proceeded by mu-
sic, to the Colorado Hotel, where
the MesSrs. Burke had again pre-
pared one of those bountiful and
beautiful repasts, for which that
house has been so celebrated.
Too much praise cannot be Civ
en- the MessrS. Burke for the
whole sOuled manner in which
they have catered for the enjoy
ment Of the people during this
whole festive season. Let them
be remembered by a grateful and
appreciative people, and let their
house be crowded by the best
kind of custom. OF this supper,
we can only say, as we did of that
at the Chri~tmas ball, that 1t was
marvel of elegance and profit
sion, cooked in the very finest style
and served up in an artistic and tru
Iy refined manner. 1t was greatly
enjoyed by all. The greatest good
humor prevailed, and this cosmo-
politan party broke up with the
fervent wish of a happy new year
to all the world.
And now we desire to say
word about a popularity that we
have noticed in the people of Yu-
ma. Ii has been our privilege to
attend a number Oftheir balls and
other parties, and while the
greatest propriety and decorum
are observed, there is an entire
absence Of that conventional res
traDt, and those little jealOusies
and chickering's so painfully ap
parant on such occasions, in a
greater or less degree, almost
anywhere else. People here go to
a party, not only to enjoy them
selves, but to contribute to the
enjoyment of others; and every
one tries in every possible way
to make every one else happy.
There is an entire absence Of all
SelfiShneSS, and that is the reason
of the harmony and perfect good
feeling that prevail not only dur
ing these parties but after the
break up, and the participants
seperate and depart for their re-
spective homes. Let US be proud
of this character 5tic of our peo-
pie, and maintain it.
Once more, kind friends, ga
