Hiram Jones, back woodsman, called
upon his crony, William Black. and sat
by the fire with his gun across his lap.
They talked about hunting, and Jones
told story of killing bear. He bee lme
absorbed in the recital, because very likely
he was lying, and the strain upon his in
ventivc faculty was very great. The butt
of the gun slid unnoticcd into the fire
place. and the stock was slowly burned
until the barrel got hot. Then there was
an explosion. and a piece of Jones's leg
was carried away.
Jim Benedict was somethingof pro-
digal son. He took all the money that
his father, a Philadelphia merchant, would
give him, and went to Chicago, where he
spent the funds in riotous living. With
the last fifty dollars he went on spree,
ending in police station in Joliet. Mis-
cradle i'm body and mind, he decided TO
kill himself. He had left of his money
two fve-dollar bills, and five gold dollars
that he had kept as pocket-pieces. He
gave a boy one of the bills to buy pistol,
some powder and percussion caps. Left
by himself with these things, he loaded
the weapon, using the remaining bill for
wad and the coins for bullets, and shot
himself in the head. He died instantly of
the wound. and post-mortem examina-
ton revealed the golden missiles and bits
of the costly wad in his brain.

DIED.

At the house of his parents, near Yuma, on Wednesday Oct. 9th 1875, HENRY S. EAGER, son of l. J F. and Maria CleOte leager, in the 18th year Of his age.
 OBITUARY.
 The funeral took place last Thursday evening, and was. at- tended by very large concourse of ofsorroWing people. It was much the largest funeral procession that we have ever seen in Arizona. Business was suspended, and it seemed that the whole people of the town and vicinity, including officers and their families from Fort Yuma and Yuma Depot, turned out en-masse. The Ferry boat, on which the funeral cOrtege crossed the river, was elabOrately dressed in mourning wreathes and dropping flags. The flags of the steamer COcopah, were at half mast, as were also some other flags in town.
 The sudden death Of this most promising youth has cast gloom over this community. Stepping on a hair pin, which penetrated his foot, caused lock jaw; of which terrible disease he died. Henry $. Ieager was an extraordinary boy. Possessed of great physical beauty, a very kind and gentle disposition, with intellectual fa- culties of the highest order, he was beloved by all who knew him. We will all miss him, but none so much as his bereaved parents, who have the heartfelt sympathy of this community, in this hour of their tnrrihln afflintinn

Opening of the Public Schools.

The Public Schools, under the charge of Miss Post of the girls, and MT. Post of boys department, opened last Monday morning, Oct. 4th. It was pleasing to see the spirited manner with which the pupils came up. Bright eyed beautiful girls, from prattling in- fancy to the blooming maiden, and fine sturdy boys, from five years upwards, were there, all in. tent upon availing themselves of the blessed privileges of the pub- lie school. It is worthy of note, that notwithstanding the fact that a sectarian sch ool opened up town the same morning, as many pu- pills were in attendance at the opening of the public school as there were on the opening of last years term. The teachers have added new attraction to the pub- lie school, in the shape of a fine Organ, their own property, and they being fine musicians, the school, each day, is opened and closed with vocal and instrument tai music. We believe in this feature. We like music as a part of the exercises of our public schools. We like it because it is harmonizing and 'elevating, and speaks only to the best and puri, est impulses of human nature.
 WE sympathize with the editor of the st. HelenG St0r. He had a sooner" dog; he called her name Sooner" for obvious req sons. This purp had been in the habit of running out and barking and snapping at the legs of Pass- ing horses and mules, but she don't do it any more. Her last frolic was on Friday. She came "dog near" passing in her checks, and is laid up for repairs and the editor mourneth. Don't take it 10 heart, Brother Lawrence,
 yuma can spare you a bountiful supply of sooner dogs. We'll send you one by telegraph, ifyou say so.
