Down on the edge of the canal, sat a
well-dressed but detected Hooking man
wearing dignified but impatient cast of
countenance. His silk hat had a big
bruise in the side and was worn at a
backward angle and his general attire
indicated that he was wholly Indifferent
to public opinion. His eyes rolled sadly
at the departing sun and he seemed
lost in admiration at the scene around
him.

One Of them Sentenced to Twenty.
five Years for Murder.
The motor train, which conveyed the
HERALD man from San Bernardino to
Cotton on Thursday night, on his way
home with the report of the Morse
tragedy, had quite an interesting lot of
passengers on board. They consisted of
a batch of heavily.shackled prisoners in
charge of Sheriff Mulvenon and deputies,
and were on their way from Prescott to
the Yuma Penitentiary. 1t is the only
desirable way that prisoners can be con-
veyed between the points named,
although it is very roundabout,
being almost equal to going
around three sides of square
to gei to the fourth conner. Four of the
prisoners were sentenced for grand lar
ceny and one, named William Harper,
was booked for twenty-five years for the
murder of Walter Murphy at the United
7erde mine, above Prescott. Harper,
yho is a very intelligent-looking man,
latted with the scribe about the affair
the GAS rolled along: "We were both
iners," he said, land the night of the
agedy bad been drinking heavily. We
lgaged in a dispute and Murphy
.cked up big rock to throw
me, and knowing him to be
dangerous man drew my gun, fred at
lin and he fell dead. How would you
like to be in my place ?" concluded
Harper. Thirty -one years of age and
doomed to prison for the next twenty-five
years !"

Ohars ed With Bigamy.

Justice J. w. Van Slyck, of Norwalk,
was in trouble over charge of bigamy
for several days this week, but as it is
now withdrawn he may be supposed to
be breathing easier. Judge Van Slyck is
serving as Police Magistrate for Los
Nietos Township at the town of Norwalk.
On the 25th of last July he married Miss
Martha E. Quick. Several days ago j.
N. Hoyes, an attorney-at-law in Ontario,
swore out complaint against him, al
leging that he was the husband of Noyes'
sister, a lady whom he had
deserted thirteen years ago, and
who was now living some
where back in New York State.
A warrant was taken out and Constable
Atkinson went over to Norwalk and ar
rested Judge Van Slyck and brought him
back to Pomona. the place where Noyes
had sworn out the complaint.
There is no Jail at Pomona, but Judge
Van Slyck was kept under guard all
night. In the morning he and Noyes
had long talk together. What the
Judge said to the man who claimed to be
his brother-in-law is not known, but
when he came on for examination before
the Justice at Pomona, Noyes was gone
and could not be found to serve as a wit
ness. Judge Van Slyck was set free
and returned to Norwalk.

state Division.

EDITORS HERALD-The obvious neces-
sity of State division could easily be
seen by the simplest person if it were
possible to divert the public mind of the
influence of professional politicians. Let
us take a fair view of the situation.
Here we are with single State reaching
over coast line almost as long as from
Maine to Georgia with but one port of
entry where the largest ships can obtain
shelter in bad weather. 1t is an un-
doubted fact known to seamen that an
artificial port is required for Los Angeles.
Yet under existing conditions no
National legislation could he had ade-
quate to meet the requirements. The
influence of San Francisco alone could
easily defeat any movement looking to
creating rival port; and nothing less
than harbor that would receive the
largest ships in storm would satisfy
the needs of our section. The commerce
of the northern end of the State has
largely been the result of the natural
and accidental status of the preci-
GUS metals having been discov-
cred at that end of the State
IN quantities to be easily available.
The decline Of mining as an industry
and the discovery of the fruit. growing
bonanza existing in the southern end of
the State is about to shift the business
balance SO as to make the present con-
dition unwieldy, to put it mildly. If
our people would divest themselves of
the idea that State House was an alb
solute necessary adjunct of State, we
could get what we want without any
trouble. Hazards Pavilion is a good
enough State House for ten years to
come and as far as legislation is con-
cerned, there is hardly need that is
not to be met by the present State laws
and Constitution, which could be
adopted with slight notifications. At
all events, it would be difficult to show
that we shall get no artificial harbor
commensurate with our needs without
State division. This reason alone is
sufficient. F. M. SHAW.

NEW GOLD FIELDS.
Diggings Discovered South o
Yuma.

Yuma.
Mr.. 81. P. Steere, of the Southern Pa
cifc, who arrived in the city last night
from a trip to Yuma, says that there is a
great mining excitement at that place.
Last week two Mexicans came into town
with quantity of pure gold which they
said they had obtained from placers in
Southern California, 100 miles south of
Yuma. They said that the gold was
very easily worked, and they would have
staid there longer but their provisions ran
out. The locality they indicated was
until short time ago occupied by hostile
Indians, and therefore very little pros
pocting went on there, but now great
rush is being made to the new gold
fields. The river boats are crowded
with miners, and every possible convey
ance is being fitted up to convey the ap-
plicants for passage.
1t is said that rich deposits of gold
have been found in the Centennial Min
ing District, sixty miles north of Yuma,
but as they are all in quartz, it will re-
quire capital to work them. Yuma is
enjoying quite boom on account of the
discoveries, and the town is filled with
strangers.

EDITORS HERALD-In a recent issue of
the HERALD, and in several former is
sues, l note with considerable interest
your timely and pertinent remarks con-
cerning boulevard between Los Ange-
les and Santa Monica. Being interested,
in small way, on the proposed line for
this drive, wish to say that in my esti-
nation no road leading from Los Angeles
to Santa Monica is go we'll and favorably
situated for first class boulevard as that
of Washington street. The grades are
all easy and natural, and with an ex-
penditure of nominal sum of
money, compared with the great
pleasure and benefit the citizens
OF both places, not mentioning
that of visitors, would derive-is the
most beautiful and practicable route be-
tween the two towns. 1t strikes me that
the citizens of the two places could we'll
afford to take this matter up and make
some effort toward its contamination.
After having raised as much money as
possible, the county officials could please
the people no better than to take the
matter in hand and make provision for
the balance-if any there be-to COM
plete the job. l have no doubt that the
majority of the wealthy class OF residents
in both places will subscribe literally to
any proposition tending to insure them a
| tirst-class drive, and as Santa Monica is
largely dependent upon visitors for its
maintenance l feel assured that it's
public-spirited citizens will look at this
matter in it's correct light, and lend
their valuable aid in its behalf. People
who now go to other resorts would be at
tracted by such drive, and much pre-
fer trip, such as this would naturally
be, than to travelling by train. Gentle
men could take their families for pleas
ant ride, and do so with no little pleasure
and satisfaction. The drive from Los
Angeles to Santa Monica over beautiful
road we'll improved and shaded would,
in itself, be worth the trip. In order to
start this ball to rolling 1 will head the
list with a donation of one thousand dol
lars cash, and agree to give enough land
on each side of the road, which would be
about one-half mile in length, to widen
the same to any desired width.
Hoping that you will continue to urge
this matter, and further assuring you
that the writer is with you, am,
Respectfully yours,
