ssurs lodging hose in san FrAHOiseO.
The associated Prsss aid net consider it
WSrth while 10 ssnd eat the news, yet there
are few nining men who are better known
than was peer Jim Whitlatsh. Few men

sincerely msurnsd. he had been miner
and uins uanipulatOr fer thirty years and
had been rieh AAd psor BY tsrns, His
greatest strike was in Last Chance guleh,
near Helena, Montana, where he sold the

personal loss in his death. He leaves a
widow and four children, who live in
Brooklyn and are, we regret to learn, in
destitute circumstances.
TombStone Epitaph: W. h Hughes
came in frSm ChirieahuaS yesterday with
seven bear sCslpS receiving therefore a
county warrant for S42. He says there
are lots Of bear in those mountains, both
black and cinnamon, aHd that they kill a
great many cattle. He has killed eight
cen during the last year and there are
plsty left, mouAtaiA lions are also very
numsro as are timber wolves, turkeys
and ether game. The liens are also very
destructive to stock, particularly colts.
There ls a good chance for some Of our
mighty hunters to 20 ever there aRd have
some fan, as Mr.. Hughes says the bears
climb a large or small tree with equal fac
ilty and are the most playful lot Of brntss
ina ginRble. They are pretty good foot
racers, too, and some of sports might get
few pOintI fron them about racing they
didn know before.

Journal Ninor: A remarkable story
comes from near Flagstaff Of man,
while riding on horseback during a thun-
der storra, being struck BY lightning en-
the left shoulder. 1t passed down his
back leaving hlack streak, then around
mis- leg above hia knee and then into the
horsa killing the animal instantly. The
man, although suffering considerably and
nearly Darslyzsd by the shoek, was taken
to Flagstaff whcre he was attended by DR..
Cornish and is recovering rapidly.
Yuma Times: Another evidence Of ths
rapid civilization Of the Yuma Indians is
indicated By the purchase Of pSrfumery
from the drug stores by beth Che squaws
and bucks Curiously enough they are Sx-
lremely foRd Of besprinkling themselves
with cologne, Florida water and similar
compounds which, during the warm days,
is rather a e0mmendabls idea. The hbor-
iginos are generally particular, too, in the
quality Of pertumery purchased, usually
selecting the high priosd oraRdc, sush as
