yATURDAY,JULY 2S. 1858.

It seems now to be definitely settled that the Yuma Indians are to be put. on reservation of their own. A tract of land oppo- site the Colorado Indian Reserva- tion has been set apart for their use, comprising 560,0O0 acres. Such of this land as is now occu- pied by white settlers will not be :included in the reservation. The Indians will be under the partial protection of the government and will receive certain allowances of provisions. It is not yet known how soon the Yumas will be re- moved, but we understand that negotiations have already been opened 10 induce them peaceably t0 make the change.

A late number of the Tucson Citizen contains the following about the Colorado bottom lands: The traveller coming from Cali fornia on the railroad catches the first glimpse of Arizona at Fl Rio, nine miles below Yuma, on the Colorado river. After having ridden all day over an absolute deser,t where nothing but mil s of white sand dunes and ledg 8 of barren rock, weary the eye, it is a most refreshing vision to gaze upon the belt of green that fringes the banks of the muddy Colorado and stretches away 70 the horizon toward the Gulf nf California. After having seen 80 much utter desolation one ca
 hardly realize that the little green along the river banks is very fortlle section of country, exceedingly productive, and "needs only to be tickled with the blow to laugh with fatness," and is fast filling up with Amerl- can settlers, who are pre-empting the government land, diggir g their irrigating ditches and mak
 ing for themselves home. ihe intense heat of the desert is greatly modified by the evapora- ting waters of the river and tn @ presense of the great groves of cottnn- wood, willow, elder and sycamore that grow luxuriant'y in the river bottoms. Tha soil Ou either side of the river is very rJch. NOt only the carnals grow

Under the new management the Terri
 torial Prison has undergone 8 change of discipline, aad for the better. Capt F. S
 1ngalis, the superintendent. aided by Mir.
 Il. Long, tho warden, has luaugur ated
 many reforms in the prison. Imme diate- ly upon taking control Capt. Ingalls, is- sued a set of rules that are commeudable
 in every way. Gambling, loud tslkiD 2 and obscene language Were ordered stop
 ped, and that at once. Over one hun dred packs of playing cards were taken out of the cells ay the new officials. To all appearances the men are satisfied
 with their treatment and their behavior toward the officers of the prison is res- pectful and polite. A great cha nge in- deed has been wrought in. short while
 Six new cells are completed, and the
 grating is in place and the stone partly laid for six more. The work of building cells is progressing rapidly, and is being done ill substantial manner. The din- ing room and kitchen are models of neatness. The bath rooms are eommo- dious and we'll lighted. and are source of much pie lsure to the prisoners during the hot weather. The thermometer doas mt hisrl, of fha five degrees, as in town. Another of the new features of the institution is the school, st which all the prisoners who wish can receive instruction; the school is well attended couple of hours daily, and the scholars are doing well under the intelligent touching Of their able preceBtor. The prisoners are watched over by eight guards posted on the out. side of the prison; and the yard is man. aged by Warden Long aided by Capt. Green. There is no confusion or noi.e in the working of the men. In the black smith shop our friend MT. Chris Horner is chief, and is educating the men under his charge to be No. 1 mechanics. The discepline of the prison is without doubt
 erfect and will prove fruitful of goods results; and the Yuma Prison will prove to be what it was intended for, refor- matory institution not school of scan. dal and vice. At night three guards are on watch all night, and two of the day guards, sleep on the hull as a reserve in Case of break. New and needed inn are contemplated, amongst which a telephone will be erected be- tween the prison and the contractors store in town. Before closing this hurried sketch the SENTINEL wishes to thank the courteous officers of the Terri torial Prison for their kindness in show ing the writer through inc various de- partments of the prison.

Aid. Pillsbary himself has publicly stated
were by far too small. Up to the present
time the salaries have not been fixed.
Aid. Grethen, an attorney by profession,
took the floor and endorsed the resolution
in clear and logical argument. The new
law is now in full force and effect. The
council has no legal right to appropriate
the old amounts, but clearly must make
the increased allowance.
Aid. Glenn, member of the committee
on salaries, corroborated the statement of
Aid. Watt that the salaries for the past
year had not been fixed for the reason that
an additional sum was expected to be al
lowed by the legislature.
All in all it seems but simple justice to
the aldermen and the mayor that they re-
ceive the money allowed by the amended
charter. The matter will probably be
settled at the next meeting of the council
on Wednesday evening. Possibly, how
ever, it may be taken into the courts as
was suggested by Aid. Grethep.

Atd. Barge Rises to Personal ErDfo-
nation
At the meeting of the city council We'd
nesday evening, when the matter of selling
city bonds was considered, Aid. Barge rose
to personal explanation and stated that
the advertisement having been published
| In another paper the Journal asked to be
given the same advertisement,whic Barge
declined to authorize; that the representa-
tive then stated by the alleged authority
of Maj. Geo. K. Shaw that if he refused so
to do the Journal would open upon him;
| that he still refused, whereupon the Journal
entered upon bitter warfare upon
him, which the alderman knew was un-
called for. AID Barge then stated that
| Geo. K. Shaw had a record himself; that
years ago when Bill King run the Tribune
| and Shaw the NeloS, Ed. A. Stevens and
| Mr.. Williams, detective, were sent to
| Grundy county, Iowa, to look up the record;
| that Mr.. Stevens, under Kings direction,
| wrote an article charging among other
| things that Shaw robbed roommate of
$500 and was fugitive from Justice; that
Shaw was informed of what WINS being done,
and at once sold out the Ne1cs
| and left the city; that
a man of such character might abuse but
| could not injure him. He also alluded to
| Nettleton's real estate deals and Blakely's
sleeping car episode, and added that he
didn't propose to train longer. in that
crowd; that if the Republicans of Mime
apolis Endorsed such things, as they ap-
peared to do, he had got through with them,
| and hereafter would train with men who
were not of that stripe. The alderman
waxed decidedly eloquent, spoke at con-
siderable length, and was warmly applaud
ed at the end of his remarks. That his
| speech was the council sensation of the
year is beyond question.

The Salary Question,

At the meeting of the city council on
Wednesday evening AID. Daniel Wait
presented a resolution authorizing the
city clerk to draw warrants for the salar.
les of the aldermen for the year in $500
and the salary of the mayor, $1,000.
The resolution met the vigorous epposi-
ton Of Aid. Pillsbury, who alleges that it
savored strongly of the old back salary
grabbing scheme inaugurated in the United
etates congress during President Grants
term of Office.
Aid. Watt explained that he was as
strongly opposed to back salary grabbing
as any man in the country, but offered the
resolution in good faith, and with a
clear conscience. The past year.
as was the case in the
year previous to that, the committee on
salaries had not fixed the salaries of the
aldermen and mayor until the close of the
year for the reason that the limitation of
the old city charter was by far too small
and insignificant, and that it was ant1ci-
pated that the state legislature would
make more liberal limit
The previous legislature failed
to do this, but the recent legislature, being

Inquest On the suicide.

An inquest was held yesterday over the
remains of Armand o. johnson. who took
poison at the union depot Wednesday
night. Very little in addition to the facts
published yesterday in the GLOBE were
elected. An old scrap of paper gave his
address as Armand o. Johnson, La Crosse.
A partial and very unsatisfactory transla-
ton was made of letter written in the
Swedish language, apparently by Carrie
Crokum, to the deceased, but it threw but
little, if any light, upon the matter, and
nothing occurred to change the opinion
that he took poison and put an end to his
existence IN consequence of his love for
this girl Carrie, and her indifference to
him. The verdict of the jury was that he
came to his death by poison administered
by his own hand

"Hed our consent for the reservoirs been
asked we would never have granted it be-
cause we don't want to give up our homes.
But we don't propose to make any trouble.
The Great Father ought to pity US. We
are poor and weak, and the Great Father is

takes their land away from them, and we
shall wait for the Great Father to pay US

A CRACKED CRIB.
s. R.Waters, a Sentenced Prisoner, Escapes

S. II. WGterS, a Sentenced Prisoner, Escapes
from JGiL-4 Well Planned Job.
When the doors of the upper tier of cells
at the county Jail were opened to feed
the prisoners yesterday morning, it was
discovered that S. W. Waters, who was
tried on Monday and found guilty of an
attempt to defraud the Masonic Mutual
Insurance company, and SEN
fenced Wednesday afternoon, to eighteen
months at Saltwater, was missing.
Investigation disclosed the following
facts: About 1890 the night before,
some one in the upper tier called to the
night turnkey that man up there was dy-
ing. The turnkey rushed up the stairs,
unlocked the door to the corridor and went
in, leaning 1T open. He then proceeded to
unlock the cell in which the sick man was.
The locks of the cells are all connected by
steel bar running the whole length of the
corridor and so arranged that by the mani
pulation of a small lever all of the cells in
that tier are unlocked at the same time;
consequently when the turnkey opened
the one cell he opened them all, affordine
the best possible opportunities of escape
to all the prisoners therein. Only
one, however, embraced the oppor-
tunity. He (Waters) made his way
over the tops of the cells to the ventilator
and with the aid of rope and ladder, pre-
sumably supplied by confederates, succeed
ed in reaching the ground and getting
safely away. Gross carelessness and
criminal neglect of duty on the
part of Sheriff Stoddard and his en-
ployes is the direct cause of the affair, and
the only wonder is that more of the prison
ers did not make break for freedom and
that such incidents are not more frequent
under the present Jail management.

The hardware store of Drury, FELTON, &
Co., at 1910 Third avenue south, was brok-
en- open by burglars during Wednesday
night, who made pretty good haul. The
safe was opened and some $50, all the
money it contained, was distracted. Just
how they succeeded in getting into the
safe is mystery. Whether the burglars
had keys, or the safe had been carelessly
left unlocked, is not known, but nothing
about it was broken, and it was found I'M
locked yesterday morning. A large num-
Der of revolyers, knives, razors and mis-
cellaneous hardware and silverware were
also stolen, the exact value of which it is
difficult to determine, but is estimated at
$3.50 by the proprietors.
Mr.. Drury states that few evenings
since two men came into the store and
asked to see the stock of revolvers, which
was shown them. They left, however,
without making any purchase, but prom
ised to call on Saturday and buy certain
revolver which one of the men picked out,
and are suspected of being the guilty par
ties. The store was entered by means of
false KEYS.

reservation, but promised that timely
notice should be given them.
Flat Mouth then asked for statement
showing what the commission were author
lied to do. 1t was explained to him that
the newspaper report of their meeting
with the commission the day before set
that all out, but that did not seem to
satisfy Flat Mouth, who evidently has
not very high opinion of the newspapers,
and so Gen. Sibley wrote it all out, prefac-
ing the statement with "Flat Mouth, Nv
Friend" and the cautious chief was salts
fed. This Gen. Sibley followed up by
presenting the chief with large-sized
photograph of himself, accompanying the
gift with the remark that among his tribe
were many old men who would recollect
him, as he at one time was well acquainted
with many of them.
This concluded the visit to the commits
sion, and the delegation filed out of the
room after first silently shaking hands
with Gov. Marshall and Gen. Sibley. After
their visit to Gov. Hubbard the delegation
called upon Hon. H. NJ. Rice at his Office
in Mannheimer block, with whom two or
three of the oldest chiefs were personally
acquainted, with whom they apparently
had very pleasant visit.
Before leaving for home last evening
Rev. Mr.. Gilfllan said to GLOBE reporter
that the Indians were Thoroughly pleased
with their visit, and returned to their re-
servation satisfied that the Great Father,
through the recommendation of the COM
mission, would deal justly with them.
