YUMA ITEMS.
Free Press.


 Dr. J. H Taggart, we are pleased tC see on the streets again, and who ba, passed through long siege of illness Inc Doctors many friends welcome hin agam to his practice and are pleased tC see this genial man almost fully recOv. cred.
 Promises Of important sales of mining interests III Yuma are announced every day. Some We have faith in and others not. Yuma county will yet come to the front, while her mines are being sOlI on their own merits. The arrival this week of a large number of capitalists for Silver District and surrounding camps indicate this fact.
 Charlie Lee, who has been an old resident and prOspector Tn Arizona for the past eighteen years Is in town from the Black Head Mountains. He has recently strucK some rich mines in that vicinity and has with him rich specimens of ore carrying gold, silver and copper the average assay being S200. The lOca- tiun of these mines IS only twenty-five miles from the railroad. Mir. Lee IS a first-class miner and much confidence can be placed in his judgment. His mine Is being developed and has twenty tons of ore on the dump.
 Mother Ambrcsia, who has been for the past two years the Superior of the Convent Of the Sisters of St Joseph, at Yuma, together with sisters Amelia, Entichina, Oleta left on saturday, last for San Diego Mother Ambrosia dur ing her labprs here in charge of the Convent made many friends with every body. Her pupils and her numerous friends regret their departure, but wish them the providence of God, for they faithfully labored for their school and nave at all times at the bedside of the sick, on Sundays yon will find them at prison cells, even there giving words or cheer and consolation. It 1t pleasant however that other good and noble women take their places. The new Superior k mother Antonette who is a highly accomplished aud educated lady. The assistants are sisters Julia and Agnes, who are also intelligent and ac- ladies and teachers.

SpuOita DoiugS,

The winds from the Sonoita still come
 evil laden with the bad doings of the
 ruffian element that lnfests the different camps on the Atchison and Topeka road
 working soutawards into Sonora. Horse
 and cattle stealing are said to be of common occurrence, and tine stabbing
 and shooting of men by no means rare
 But even in the development of their
 deviltry a grim humor will occasionally crop out. as in the case of contractor
 Sullivan, who, riding in the foot hills of the Santa RItas in search of convenient place for pasturage, was met by an in- dividual who had formerly been in Sullivan's employ, and who, after various questions, proposed to buy the herder's pistol, but as he refused to sell, his inquisitor, under the preteat of sec ing the make. got it into his possession. His demand for horse was still easier satisfied. At the muzzle of his own pistol he was made to hastily dismount and foot 1t for twelve miles towards the Sonora hne when his captor with a parting salute faced him towards camp and bade him seek it soon as his two weary legs could find it, while he armed and equiped leisurely pursued the even tenor of his way into the interior of Sonora. In the same camp one of Sulliyan's men became anxious to become the happy owner Of a certain mule but not having the where with to make the necessary purchase and disdainlng too much ceremonial pO- liteness, he in open day mounted the mule and rode off. He knew there would be trouble sp travelled on. Horses were hasti- ly mounted aud pursuit given. On being sighted the magazines of a dozen dif- ferent Winchesteis were emptied after him but as they flew wide of their mark and as he doggedly held on to a good thing 1t became necessary for the first man that overlook him to ride up and knock him of the mule with a blow of his empty rife. He was taken to Har- shaw and before Judge Pagan had hearing, preparatory to visiting the county jail at this place, but wishing to save the county expense he was lost ou a dark night and his whereabouts yet remains a mystery.

Result of Superstition.

The murder of the Papago Indian Juan iR the outskirts of the Barrie Libre on last Sunday evening. was coolly planned and perpetrated affair. It grew out of the death Of an Indian woman which occurred some time since. The dead man IS said to be the son of old Louisa chief of the Papago tribe at Santa Rosa in Mexico, and was accused of having bewitched to her death the deceased sister Of the murd, Ter. UDder the tribal law he was guilty of an offence for which death only could atone and the party so inhiciing it was by the same law held to be guiltless of wrong doing. On last Sunday evening as Juan was asleep Tn his wickiup his death was decided upon and as tbe opportunity was then favor able, his enemy loaded his gun, entered the wickiup and deliberately killed him. The body was then among many lamen- tations from the dead mans family, taken to the old church at San Xavier for funeral rites and interment the murderer also goirg along. The h. dians implicated are said to belong tO the Santa Rosa Papagos, and beyond mere tribal relations, have DO connec- tions with the San Xavier Papagos, many of whom are Christians and have to q certain extent for sworn their deathly superstitiOns. Con- sequently the deed in question failed to find favor in the sight Of old Ascencion, the San Xavier Chief, aud on the ar rival of the murderer, arrested him and an associate, and brought them under n guard of twelve armed and mounted Papago police to the office Of Judge Osborn who. becoming acquainted with the facts, committed them to jail. As there were others implicated, it was thought better to gather them in, so Under Sheriff Ward drove out and, with the assistance of Ascencion and his police, succeeded in capturing four others. Two more that they intended to extend their courtesIes to were sharp enough to elude the vigilance of their would-be csptors and escaped.

CT by the ringing of the fire bell Speeches were made by several mem bers and Governor Iritle resigned the chalrmanship of the committee. Mr John s. Carr was elected to fill the va cancy. Because of the little support oi- fered by the adjoining counties, Pima being inc only one which made favor. able response, the posse comitatus plan was abandoned and it was then decided tJ organize an independent militia com pany Eho were by the money raisers to be sent into the field. Governor Tritle promises to use his influence in having the Legislature of Arizona, il its next session, reimburse the subscrib- CTS. Some fifty odd men as volunteer were enrolled. and m case the commit tee appointed raise the necessary means for the equipment of fifty men and keep ing them in the field for thirty day, which, according to the Chairman Mr J.

SoeIahilify 0f Owls.

The following note was written shortly before his death by Hon. Grantly F. Berkeley: q am at present studying. the amount of affection in owls for man. l have brown owls, white owls, horned owls and that mysterious lesser owl, the spar row owl, about the size of n thrush. These are in pairs in Urge separate wire aviaries, wings uncut, with room to fly about. As regards the horned owls and the lesser owls, there was good deal of suspicion to watch things inst at first. The lesser owl being the least acquainted with the habits of nan was. for that reason, the easlest tO tame. l give you that queer fact. l have only had these lesser owls during this spring. The hen bird IS sitting in her selected box, with a hole in it, on three eggs. Dump as we call her. will let me or my head keeper put our hands in and take the eggs from under her and re- place them again without the least anger or alarm. Her mate, whose name is Toby, will, if ask him to do so. darce with me in the funniest way possible, or with my parlOr maid, for whom he also seems to have taken fancy. Hisdance hetween every two differing steps is the complete turn of the waltz, hut the quaintness of his executed evolutions and the grace he assumes are inimitahle. Then in point of urhanity comes the horned owl, then the brown owl and last the white nwl, who has the most exper- fence of the malevolence Of man, and therefore the least trust in him.

In this Territory Calsbasas and Tubsc have a semi-weekly mail of one large sack. Ariyaca and Gro Blapco receive large tri-weekly mail Riverside receives the smallest mail and Old Hat the most largely increasing mail of any of the local camps whose mails are made up al this place. Of course the mails going east and west and distributed from the railroad are not considered. as their malls are not made up up at this place. The mail for the Old Hat district, made all exceedingly small beginning, but has steadily grown until it is now quite large hnd as it continues to grow speaks well fpr the present and future prosperity of the district. The Gunsight mail IS also said to be much on the increase, having grown from an odd bunch of papers and an occasional stray letter, until now two smag sacks are filled every time Hue stage goes cut.
