'Fhe Tree oi' eseasn.


 One mile north of Noche Bueno in Sonora, a little to the left of the Lerdo and Yuma wagon road stands an immense mesquite tree, which from it's size at once attracts the attention of the traveller. The tree is deserving of attention; 1t is not only prominent landmark but, is closely associated with tragic memories. Different from the trees which grow near by, twisted, crooked and stunted in growth, this mesquite is straight as an arrow, it's branches regular and massive, the trunk thicker than any to be found in the Colo rado valley. And yet, if legendary tales are to be believed, this par ticular tree should be crooked and ugly in the extreme, for 1t has many times been used as an in strument of death and from its stout branches several men have hung until life hag left their bodies. It is known as the dead mans tree" to the Mexicans and whenever they pass it a prayer Is quickly said and their footsteps are hurried to get by the accursed spot as soon as possible. During the many years that cattle'raising has been one of the leading industries of that portion of Sonora adjacent to the Colorado river, it became necessary for the stockmen at various times to take the law into their own hands and send cattle thieves to their resting place, " without due sentence of courts which were too distant from the scene of action. The last "cattIe appropriatof" executed, was one Sanchez, about fourteen years ago, slnce which time it has not been found necessary to use the rope route. The mesquite stands prom inently forward in it's graceful beauty of verdure and will be pointed out to travellers through that region for years to come and it's stories of death by violence will be repeated again and again.

Col. H. P. La Motte, the efficient and affable representative of the Southern Pacific Company's land department, was in town a few days ago attending to business matters. The Colonel is one ofCaIi- fornia's leading and influential citi- zens, who, fortunately for Arizona, has taken great interest in our Ierutory generally, and Yuma county in particular, which he says has the best fruit land to be found on the coast. Colonel La Motte was very much pleased with the Hines, lemons and oranges he found growing here.

sEexico's Independence Da,

The Eighty-first anniversary of the independence of Mexico was not observed here with much en- thusiasm. A few flags were hoisted and some periodically inclined Mexicans exploded some giant powder. The grand celebration was
 AT GARCIA MUcHACHo.
 Beginning with Sunday, and for two days following large numbers of pleasure seekers left here for the Cargo Muchacho mining camp, the good people of which had extended a cordial invitation to our citizens to enjoy the festivities of the day. On Tuesday, the 18th, at sunset, the hills and valleys echoed and re-echoed with the firing of anvils and the explosions of giant pow der. At 8 o'clock in the evening the ceremonies were opened by a patriotic and eloquent oration by the chairman of the day, Ramon Ochoa. Immediately 2fter the speech, waich was greeted by hearty cheers, dancing was com menced and continued until day light Wednesday morning. On the morning of the 16th., the anvils again rang out their thunderlike greetings, and about Il o'clock, the foreman of the Paymaster company Frank Guerra, in a few well chosen words, extended a hearty welcome to the guests one and all, and rendered them the hospitality of the camp, expressing the hope that the patrio tic feelings of the citizens of the sis ter Republics, the United States and Mexico, would be of sufficient strength to make the celebration an unqualified success. In the evening another short address was delivered by James Costello, which was enthusiastically ap- plauded. Dancing again became the principal attraction and was kept up until a late hour. The Carga Muchacho people spared no expense or trouble to make their festival a success and the SENTINEL congratVlates them on their enjoy able and happy ceiebration.

Once upon time said a micro scropist, "a bold robber from Denmark made sacrilegious entrance into a church in Yorkshire England. and got away with some of the holy vessels He was caught and was condemned to be hayed alive, his skin being subSe quentIy nailed to the church door for the purpose of afording an example to evil doers and to give an agreeable ob- iect of contemplation to the good peo pie who tlocked to the sacred edihee for worship on Sundays That was about thousand years ago and after awhile the human hide was torn of by bits. all traces of it being removed Sive for small fragments which still peep out from under the edges of the broad headed nails by which 1t was stretched
 Such. at all evep.s, has been the tradition in Yorkshpe and it happened a lew years ago tlrtt an inquisitiv,, per son sent a scrap cf leather to an uni uent expert in microscopy, giving 10 account of it, but merely requesting to kuow what kind of skin it was The professor brought his microscope to bear upon it and presently found some halrs scattered over the surface. which, after carefully examining, he declared To toe human hairs, such as grow on the naked parts of the body Further more he stated that the person who had owned them was of fair com plexion This was very interesting, in- asmuch as after the lapse of ten cen turies it was proved possible, not only 10 distinguish human hair from that of any other animal, but actually to de teruine the race of the man to which 1t belonged the Danes being light haired" Washington Star

Men With 9 rhIr.t for Blood.

Al the slaughter houses in the east ern part of the city there is set of men who call regularly of mornings for their glass of warm blood. At first it is liable to make them sick, and the taste must be acquired for 1t So the habit grows until it cannot be thrown of Ordinarily person is not likely to begin the habit, the slaughter house people say. without some reason, and in this respect it is something like the opium habit, for its use is begun as Q stimulant. There K a young man liv- ing in the eastern part of the city who is a striking example of this He is a consunptive, and some one recon mended warm blood for him. The only place where this could be conven- ieutly gotten was at the slaughter houses, and he at once made them a visit The first day he only drank Q few sips, turning sick at the stomach.
 After that Le continued the quafing of blood until now he is said to have a thirst for 1t just the same as some men have for other beverages There are scores of such persons who indulge in the bloody cup, and if placed together they would form regular little colony. The slaughterers have plenty of the warm blood on hand and they never refuse to satiate the thirst of their visit
