Gone Up in Smoke.

One of the "Medicine Men" of the Yumas died Monday night and Tues day morning, in accordance with GUS. tom, the whole tribe went into the mourning business. Monday night preparations were made to send the Doctor hence in blaze of glory. The ceremonies took place on the Califor- mia side of the river, about three quar- ters of mile down from the bridge. The deceased was placed on a pile of wood over shallow hole into which his ashes dropped. The fire was still burning late yesterday morning, and the mourners giving vent to their grief in howls and other ways peculiar to the noble red man. Occasionally some aged buck would mske short address recounting the many virtues of the deceased, followed by more howls. Every once in while some one would throw some of their clothing or chat tels on the fire and howl some more. The ceremonies were concluded by burning the "wickiup" oi the Doctor and everything which belonged to him. A good many white people went over to satisfy their curiosity.-Yuma Times.

Wealth of Apache County.
!. H. LOCKLlNG

It is not generally known that Apa. che Is the weaithiest county in lht, Territory, based upon the number of
 registered voters. The number of reg is,ered voters in the county is l,lI4, and the assessed valuation S3,7lO, ,554, being an average of $3,272 to each voter. The average represented by each registered voter in Pima county is $2, 400; Maricopa, $2,283; Cochise, Sl,SOO; and Yavapai only $I,665. and the average for the Territory is Y2,O45. Apache, therefore, stands first in wealth per capita of registered voters, and consequently pays more taxes into the Territorial treasury, accord ing to our number. than any other county in the Territory. This is q very good showing for our county, and should be encouraging to our citizens While our population has increased bl' little in the past four years the as. seSsment rolls show that the valuation of our taxable property has increased nearly one million dollars. This shows a condition of financial prosperity that we believe to be unequalled in the history of the Territory.-St. John's Herald.

What Prairie Dogs Lack.

Prairie dogs, it appears from recent letter by Dr. Wilder, lack the sense of distance. At Cornell University several of them walked of chairs, tables and window sills unhesitatingly. This is thought to be due to the nature of their unusual habitat g plain, with no sharper inequalities than burrows and mounds. One adult female seemed to have wonderful immunity from the evil effects of falls; she once fell from the top of an elevator twenty-one feet high, and another time from a window sill about as high, on granite pavement, but soon recovered,

AMBUSHED! Two Men Killed by Apaches in the Guadalupes. AND YET, "NO INDIANS OUT." Jack Bridges and Bunk Robinson Struck Down By ,pache Baliets-Cne
 Man Escapes.

This morning about II o'clock Mart Taylor arrived from Halls ranch with the iartling news that two more white men had paid the penalty of military mi"rnle and incompetence, and the Apaches had gained two more victims in the Guadalupe mountains. The men killed were Jack Bridges and Bunk Robinson. Mir. Taylor states that yesterday morning Bridges was riding the range and discovered a beef freshly killed. He immediately went to Halls ranch and notified the men, after which he, Robinson and another man went to the place to investigate. They had barely arrived at the spot when they were fired upon by the Indians. They returned the fire and attempted to escape, but were sur rounded, and two of them soon fell, never to rise again.
 The man whose name could not be learned, managed to get away, being grazed by bullet, which made slight scalp wound, and reported the resulti Mir. Taylor was then sent to this city for help and made the long ride in an incredibly short time. Sheriff Slaugh- ter immediately telegraphed to Fort Huachuca for Government assistance and made immediate preparations for departure.
 Tombstone was wild with excite ment in 8 few minutes after the report was received and the fact that the bodies will be here some time to-mor- row did not lessen the feeling. The fight took place in the Guadalupe mountains, east of San Bernardino ranch, and near the line. Five In- dians were seen, but it was impossible to know how many were present, and the fact that the party was surrounded shows that they were many more than five red devils.
 Only a few days ago the Indian scouts and soldiers from Fort Bowie were recalled from that vicinity be- cause there were no Apache outlaws there! Although the soldiers have been telegraphed for help, it is hardly possible that they will be visible in that vicinity until the Indians have gone to South America or some other foreign port. They might have to ligh,, you know, and it wouldn't do to take any chances.

THE WORK ENDED.
THE CITY FINANCE COMMITTEE FINISHES
UP,
And the Ordinance Will Go to Council Tuesday
Evsning-The Market Street Bridge
Provided For.

The Council Committee on Finance
re-assembled last night to conclude the
work of making the annual appropria-
tions and sending in the report to Coun-
ell. The session was brief one, and
when the Committee adjourned the APP
preparations were complete, ready TO be
attached to the ordinance to be prepared
by City Solicitor White. Mr.. Maxwell,
of the Committee, went over the figures
prepared Wednesday night during yes
terday, and last evening submitted TO
the Committee clear cut copy OF the
estimated revenues and the appropria-
tions, from beginning to end, as was
published in this paper yesterday morn
Ing. The exhibit was approved at once
by the Committee.
The attention of the committee was
then called to the fact that no provision
had been made for the repairs TO the
Market street bridge, estimated by the
City Engineer to cost 50, 500. As the
estimates prepared could not well be
changed, the committee passed a resolu-
ton taking the money from the contin-
gent fund of the city. The intention of
the Board is To put an entire new floor,
with beams, etc, complete. in the
bridge, tighten up the iron work, and
paint the entire bridge, thus putting it
in pretty good condition.
AS the appropriations for the expendi-
ture of the entire receipts Of the city
government, for the year, is matter Of
deep concern to every taxpayer, the
main facts are again presented for the
information of the citizens.
