The important information is conveyed to the readers of the Prescott Courier" by its editor, that he camped in the Mohawk Valley early in 1864 and that he had been there since, and that he, there fore, knows that it contains many acres of rich land, which will produce anything that can be raised in the most fayorsd sections of California or Louisiana. The editor also tells it readers that Arizona, as well as New York, has her Mohawk Valley; that our Mohawk Valley is on the Gila river. between Gila Bend and Yuma. After imparting the above infor- nation the said editor concludes that all the "Courier" has to do is to tell people who desire to get land in Arizona, to cor respond with any of the gentlemen named, at Yuma, Arizona.

Decoration Day falls on the 30Lh of this Douth. It i, a National holiday-a day set apart to decorate the graves of dead soldiers. At the government grave yard, under the hlll back of the Fort, are buried about two hundred bodies of soldiers who died while in the service of their country. Is there no gentle hand among the gener- ous-hearted people of Yuma that will lay a rose. bud or flower of some kind on the graves of these dead heroes Inasnuch as our Government has made the 30th Of May National holiday, we propose that demonstration of some kind be made by our people and show some appreciation for the men who came here in advance of us to face the wild savage Indians, that we, iu later years, might enjoy peace and quiet. It is due them. And let the sub- ject be agitated until our people will have concluded to meet one of these fine even- ings and device plans to carry out a de- monstration that will be credit to the town of Yuma.

Yuma is the only place in the universe where the inhabitants dwell together in perfect unity. There are no factions, clans or cliques, pulling and hauling one against the other. or two against one, or personal bickerings, jeelousies or spites, nor nothing unpleasant to mar the even tenor of her way. 'Tis delightful to live thus. This unalloyed happiness mayhap is why some of the other towns in the Territory are making faces at us.

A dispatch from Tucson says that an account of terrible tragedy had been re- oeived from Mexico, to the effect that the seven-year-oid son of wealthy resident named Lopez was Kidnapped and the father notified that the child would be killed if seventy-fve thousand dollars ransom was not deposited at certain place within two days. By accident the note to the father was not delivered until too late to negotiate with the criminals. At the expiration of the second day the father found the body of the child in his court yard. horribly mutilated. A twelve year-old sister, on seeing her brothers corpse fell dead. The father became a raving maniac. The perpetrators are being sought. If caught they will be lynched.

LOCAL NOTES.

Cheow Cheow, the aged Chinamau, who a few days ago was found guilty of selling liquor to Indians and fined $50, and re- leased, was again arrested last Friday morning by Thomas DowBey under the direction of Deputy U. s. Marshal. As the officer started from the Chinaman's cabin, which is close to the bank of the Colorado river, the culprit gave. him the slip and jumped into the river and started to swim across to the California side, but before reaching the bank he gave a most horrible and distressing scream and sank beneath the surging waters within fifty feet of the shore, and drowned. The body had Rot been recovered up to last night. The case of this poor, old Chinaman, and the manner adopted to cause his arrest by the civil authorities and then found guilty on the testimony of savage Indians, excite comment, but we refrain from making any TOT rear that Se might bring the hlush on somebody's cheek. Then again the efforts made by the Deputy U. s. Marshal to arrest him that he might get 8 fee by taking the miserable wretch to Tucson, when he knew that no man can be put twice in jeopardy for any crime. also excites con- ment. We leave the conduct of the au- thorites( ) to the criticism of the public. Query: Who is responsible for the Chinaman's deathf

Struck by lightning.

October has presented some phenom-
inal weather. Week before last week
and last week there were days as warm
as summer days, Saturday, the 18th
occurred thunder storm, and was fol-
lowed on Sunday by rain and snow. The
temperature was not more than to freez-
ing point. Several days of last week
we're warm and pleasant Saturday af-
ternoon light rain occurred here, but
the ram was heavy at other points.
There was some thunder and little of
lightning. At about half past four
o'clock heavy clap of thunder was
heard southeast of the city. Our citi-
zens were soon informed that the vivid
lightning stroke had done its work. The
house of W. B. Dickie, on his land
about mile southeast of the city, on
the south side of the river, was struck
by lightning. The house is fair coun-
try house, one and one-half stories
high. The lightning peeled off good
many side boards and sent them flying
200 feet away. The electric fluid pass
ed down the chimney and flowed through
the entire house, doing some damage
inside Some of the falling bricks struck
Mrs. Smith, sister of Mr.. Dickie, on the
head and injured her slightly. Mrs.
Dickie and Mrs. Smith we're the only
persons in the house at the time. Mrs.
Smith and husband being here on Wis
it, their home is in Ohio. The ladies
were almost suffocated from the sui
phurous effects of the electric shock,
and regained their senses after they
reached the open air. Mrs. Smith was
knocked down senseless by the falling
brick, and the wonder Is expressed that
she was not more dangerously hurt.
The cot on which she lay during the
storm was broken down by the crash
of the bricks from the fallen chin
ney. The ladies made narrow escape
from the lightning fearful freak. The
house presented sad spectacle after
being struck. Some of the bed clothing
caught fire but the flames we're put out
