We are informed that, through
the personal efforts of Captain I.
Polhamus, the Colorado river will
be stocked with fish. Much credit
is due Capt. Polhamus as, though
unaided, he has perseyered in his
endeavors, and now arrangem ents
have been made for a lot of catfish
to arrive in August and Septem ber.
This fish has beeu selected for the
first experimental on account of
its being better adapted to the
waters OF our river and 1t being the
kind most readily accessible. This
is an undertaking that the govern
ment should assist in, and while
doing so much for other rivers aud
sections of the country should turn
its attention to the Colorado and
Arizona. Our readers will, in due
season, hear more from us on this
subject Arisona Sentinel.

The friends of Mr.. n. w. Ready
will be panied to learn that he met
with an accident by which his
right arm was broken. Mr.. Ready,

hills yesterday evening practicing
pitching and catching. Some time
was spent in this practice when Mr..
Ready's arm, alter pitching O ball,
suddenly flew back and struck him
on the back. On examination it
was found that his arm had broken
just above the elbow. The broken
limb was set by DR.. Kurtz and the
patient Is now as comfortable as
could be expected.
Mr.. Loiseau, on Sunday, was the
victim of peculiar accident but
made providential escape withal.
He attended shooting match In

shoulder very heavy rifle which
carries about an ounce ball. For.

only damages sustained were few
bruises on the hand and arm by
Mr.. Loiseau and a slight confusion
by q spectator, who was struck by
splinter. Verify, great is the
power of gunpowder!
