More ArizOnOmaniacs.

Tuesday m6rning four unhappy creatures were punched out from beneath the sleep ing ear of the train from Colton, at a section station on the railroad, about twenty miles from here They had ridden there all night and were so chilled and cramped that they could scarcely stand. The nights on the desert are now bitterly cold and, under car in motion, the draft IS terrific. When a man will curl himself up and pass the night on the running gear of railroad car he has it bad," and deserves to strike a bonahSa ledge after he gets here. Yet they say such chaps wont work. The trains now carry long poles for the espec' ial purpose of feeling around for stow awa5s under the cars.

Insane,

August Humboldt, an old resident of Yuma and former resident of Los An geles, has been legally pronounced insane and committed to the care of the sheriff until he can be conveyed 10 the asylum in California. The old mans mind is con- pletely gone and it seems as if he is even forgetting how to speak. He frequently gropes around as if in search of something It is well known that he had considerable sums of money, which he was in the Labit o1 keeping hid about his house. No money has yet been found about his place and the supposition is that he has forgotten his hiding place. or that since he lost his mind and became dead in law, some one has vol unteered to administer upon his effects without bothering the probate court for letters of administration.

AUGUST LANCE, of Gila City, has been indicted for manslaughter. Owing to the difficulty experienced here in getting a trial jury under the new law, we refrain from publishing such details as have trans pired concerning this matter until after the trial. MT. Lange's friends are confi- dent of his acquittal. We have known him for many years and it would take very strong evidence to make us believe that he would shed blood, except under circum- stances which would fully justify him.

Burglars ArOund.

Oh Saturday night the store of II. S Fitzgerald & Co. was burglarized to the extent of five watchs, small quantity o1 jewelry and pair of blankets. The thieves got in by cutting the shutter of the window on the corner and making hole large enough for hand to be passed through and slip the bolt. Two differ ent attempts have been made to effect an entrance into the room occupied by U. S. Marshal Stan defer and Special Mail Agent Adams. The last time pane of glass was cut by dia' mond, for the purpose of removing the window fastening. A piece of the glass fell down and the noise awoke the occu- pants of the room. Both the gentlemen named know how to shoot and carry the tools with them. Pity the thieves did not get into the room.

JOHN MANTEL is having rough eXpe- rence as detective. The most trustwor- thy of the many reports in circulation has l:, that last winter, when the stage was robbed near Dos Palmas, the plunder was put under a bridge and staid thsre until rewards enough were offered to bring it out; then the detectives brought it to light That little venture banned out so well that Mantel, who was one of 'em, was sent out to Arizona to get some more. He was put under the protection of United States officers and travelled around here on passes. He had orders to report to the authorities wherever he went, and did so when It suited him. When the stage was robbed near Wickenburg Bowers, sheriff of Yavapai, was on board, and it appears that Mantel knew it. Mantel held the horses while two others (not detectives) went through the passengers. Bowers lost S450 Tn money and wants it back without offering rewards. His pistol was given up by Mantel at Ehfenberg: After the rob- bely it appears as if Mantel tried to decoy the robbers, with their plumber, back into California. Out here there are no good bridges for hiding things. He got them as far as Ehrenberg but, before he could get them over the Colorado into California, Evans made the detectives cake all dough by getting Creed Bryant and Mercer to help him arrest Manters chums. Then there was shooting and prisoners-but so far little of the plunder turns up. Mantel gives his chums away. Now the tlial of the prisoners comes of. Bowers don't want Mantel to escape and weaves around him the meshes of the law. To save Man. tel comes swarm of United States officers, from California, on whom our hotels and saloons are fattening. The gold bullion is all right; the grand jury saw that. But we want to see Bowers money and the g-cenbacks taken from the mail and from the other passengers.

RAILROAD improvements go right along. Out by the engine house are now being erected an ice house and a sand house. The first is of one room, 16x25 and about Effect high. The walls are double and will be filled in with saw dust or some nOn-con- ducting material. Good place to go and camp next summer. The sand house is also wooden building about F feet by 20. It is designed for storing peculiar quality of sifted, sharp, white, sea-beJch sand, of which each locomotive carries a quantity in magazines. The sand is conducted to just in front of the wheels and is sifted down onto the rails whenever the wheels slip, or the engine has particularly heavy haul to make. This sand IS to be brought here by the car load from some place iE California. Between the two buildings is to be put up wooden water tank of 5oOOO gallons capacity.
