TIIe Old Indian.

Kishakamook, an old, old In dian, veteran of nearly century, not believing the theory advanced
 by the desert Indians, that another Noah's flood was to drown all of the whites on the 9th, left his camp southwest of the Salton basin the last of June, where he had been hunting deer, for the Digueno Indian camp below the Algodones. Just before he left his camp two of his men had returned from the Salton marsh, where they had been after salt with which to cure their venison. On their way back they struck Cariso creek. which was running a full stream ot water. When just above the june. tion of Cariso, with San Felipe creek, they found that the stream broke out of the ground with great force, and Q loud noise. Above this outbreak there was no water
 The water was cool, fresh, anC clear. Kishamook came dowr near to Sacketts Wells. 14 mile northwest of Indian Welis, bu

TIE Editor of the SENTINEL is more than satisfied with the full and hearty endorsement given his plain theory of the sources of tke Salton flood, and the reasons therefor, by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, the San Francisco Chronicle and Ex- aminer, the Los Angeles Evening Ex- press, as we'll as by the eastern press, and the public generally. And now that our views in every particular have been most fully confirmed by the grand results of the Patton ex- petition, and by that veteran of the desert plains, cid Kishakamook and his best men, also py that well known desert explorer Miguel Flores, we have reason to rejoice, that the thor ough explorations we made, covering months of hard labor, with the aid of such able assistants as Mendenhall and Wright, work done from our camps, at Coyote Wells, Indian Wells, Mesquite Lake, Big Holes, New river, Big Bend, Alamo Mucho, Upper Alamo, Burke's, Cooks and Seven wells, Padrones, Black Butte, Mt. Meier and many others, gave us a chance to know that country most thoroughly. and as no one else knows it, from the fact that no one has ever so carefully explored it. These facts place us in a position, where the lit tie intended, slurs and insults, prompted by jealousies and gaul, which no doubt do not originate in the make up of the one who wrote them, but are pricked into him by those who feel piqued because they never saw desert, do not even annoy us, or disturb our peaceful slumbers these beautiful summer nights. Il they had only seen the desert, as wt have, they would not be so caustic Their ignorance, might be the only cause of their folly, but it is not.

IT IS the height of folly and worse than useless to talk of levying or dyk- ing. the points of overflow in the Col orado river below Yuma, first because they are in Mexico, and neither an incorporation or private individuals have any right to do such thing, without permission from the Mexican Government. This would have to be given by an act of Congress and it is very doubtful if such privilege would be granted. Second, No dyke or levee would stop the inroads of the Colorado, when at it's flood.

TIE Florence Enterprise says: "The Board of Equalization of Yuma County has raised the property of Yuma so high that no future floods on the Gila will ever reach it"
 Yes, that is true, and from present appearances, the thing is so we'll fixed, that all of the ''draw" of the Desert Sea would not be able to lower it.

They poulLiced her feet and poulticcd her head, And blistered her back till twas smartng and red, Tried tonics slixirS, pain killers and salves, CThough grandma declared it nothing but
 ''narves."
 The posr woman thought she must certainly die, Till "Favorite Prescription" she happened ts try No wonder it's praises so loudly they speak; She grew better at once, and was well in a week.
 The torturing pains and distress ing nervousness which accompany, at times, certain forms of female weakness, yield like magic to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Ii is purely vegetable, perfectly harmless, and adapted to the deli cate organization of woman. Ii allays and subdues the nervous symptoms and relieves the pain accompanying functional and or ganic troubles. Guarantee printed on bottle-wrapper, and faithfully carried out for many years.

Osie Smith, who was born and rails
ed in this city, was very mysteriously
killed in Kansas City last Monday
night. Our first report was that he
had been knocked down and run over
by heavily loaded wagon, crushing
his skull, death ensuing in few mo-
ments. Later reports state that while
in an intoxicated condition he missed
his footing and fell off cable car at
the corner of Ninteenth and Locust
streets. We have known Osie since
babyhood, having been raised together
here. We doubt the theory of him
having been intoxicated and hold 10
the same theory that his wife does
that he was murdered, and cannot
understand why he should get off the
car three blocks distant from his home.
1t is claimed by the Kansas City pa
pers that he was killed by, cable car
conductor. If such be the fact we
hope it will be thoroughly investigated.

A. B. Shipp of this city has a most
wonderful instrument for lighting
cigars, fires, or it can be used for "Call
Bell or Burglar Alarm purposes" 1t
is called "Barr's electric lighter" II
liberty bell with the exception that it
has no crack in it and its size is about
the same as half gallon cup. No
matches are needed TO light it up.
You simply have TO press on little
brass button which is situated on the
top of the lighter and an electric blaze
bounds out of 8 coffee pot spout shaped
tube and when you cease to press upon
the button the blaze goes out. Then,
again, it is just as nice an ornament for
the sitting room or parlor as an eight
day clock or five dollar album.

night at the A. NJ. f. church and or

but we failed to get their names. AT

some time this week, the constitution
will be adopted and all the officers
elect will give an inaugural address.
Then the program of the next meeting
will be read. This society is one in
which all should participate. The

pie will 60 out and take part, and let
US have one real good society that we
