Almost Got Away.

On Monday night about 1890.
Harry Focht, aud III. w. Reinhart,
the two burglars, and Ira Fry, the
horse thief, made IN attempt to
break out of the Snyder county pris-
on, and came very near being sue
cessful.
Since Fry attempted to hang him
self the Sheriff allowed the prisoners
the freedom of the corridors. and on
the night in question these three
prisoners gained an entrance to the
water-tank apartment. Immediate
ly over the tank is sky-light,
throught which they reached the
roof. Upon reaching it the rafting
of the tin on the roof awakened
James Lose, one of the other pris-
oners. He ran down to the main
door and called David Stahlneck-
er, the turnkey, who opened the
door, when Lose ran to the back of
the Jail and guarded the yard door.
Mr.. Stahlnecker called the prisoners,
when Reinhart came down from the
roof by the way he had gone. Folk
and Fry had already reached the
yard by means of the spouting and
were trying to get over the fifteen
foot stone wall surrounding it, but
We're promptly captured and return
ed TO their cells.
On Tuesday morning the editor
visited the jail and in company with
the Sheriff called upon the boys.
They were seated in II circle on the
flo )r of murderers' cell enjoying Il
ga ne of three handed euchre. The
Sh riff addressed them with,
Well boys, you didn' quite make

Safety in the Midst OK Danger.

This would seem a contradiction -is so, in fact, to the eye. But experience has proved it's possi- bility. Take the case of the in- dividual who dwells in malarious region. A robust constitution is no certain defence against the dreaded chills. What is? Re corded testimony, covering a period little short of half century, proves that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is precisely this. This continent does not limit the field where the medicine has proved it's efficacy. In South America, the Isthmus of Panama, Mexico, every where in fact where miasma-born disease takes on its most obstinate and formidable types, the Bitters is a recognized specific in illimitable demand, and prescribed by physi- clans of repute. Potent, too, is it in disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, and against that de stroyer, la grippe. It improves appetite and sleep, neutralizes rheumatism and kidney com plaints.

Good News for YuTWa.
The mining superintendent wh

The mining superintendent who has spent $1, 100000 for the Bonan ga mining firm of San Francisco, on the mines at Quijotoa, in this territory, and who has placed them on a paying basis, was passenger west on Tuesdays express, having come direct from the new and won derfully rich discoveries of gold at San Antonio, about 125 miles southwest of Altar in Sonora, where he had been sent by his em- ployers for the purpose of examin ing the new discoveries. This new mineral district covers an area of about 20 miles square, upon which a large number of locations have been made. The Bonanza people have purchased one of the richest of them, and the expert was on his way to San Francisco to report to the company and to make arrange ments to work their new purchase. He said that the camp was the richest that he ever saw and that it promises to be one of the best of the late new discoveries. The property he purchased is only five miles from St. Georges bay in the Gulf of California. St. Georges Bay is only 60 miles from the mouth of the Colorado river. Yuma will be made the head quarters for the company, as they will put on two steamers, one of them to run from here to the mouth of the river, and the other to run from there to St. Georges bay. The latter will be large and strong enough to tow barges and sailing vesselsin the waters of the gulf, but of too deep a draught tC come to Yuma. The other will be light draught fast boat able to carry both passengers and freight. They will be bought in San Fran cisco and sent down from there The mines are 200 miles from the nearest railroad, and that over 8 very sandy dry road, the watering places being 35 to 50 miles apart on portions of it. There is nc drinking water within 9 miles O. the mines, but it can be found, the expert says near the gulf, by boring not over 50 feet. He will return to begin work on the well, and the mines, and the road from the gull to the mines, as soon as he can ar range for the boats, and the machi nery necessary to carry out the plans of the Bonanza Company, ir the development of their fine pro perty. Gen. J. M. Garcia has ob' tained a concession for a plat oi land l2 by 15 miles. This does not include all of the mineral district and does not effect the property. the company bought as it wal located before the concession was granted. The opening of these new mines at San Antonio and those al San Felipe on the opposite side o the gulf will reopen the trade anc traffic from here to the mouth o the river. Taking these with the building of the Yuma and Sar Diego railway and Steam boating will again be good from Yuma t the gulf.

Checked the frightful inroads of Scrofula and all blood-taints. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery purifes and enriches the blood, cleanses the system of all impurities, and restores health and strength. It cures all diseases arising from impure blood. Consumption is one of them. It's simply lung-scrofula. In all it's ear Tier stages, the " Discovery" effects a cure. It's easy to see why. The medicine that masters scrofula in one part, is the best remedy for it in another. It is the best. It's war ranted. It's the only blood and lung remedy that's gxoy0nteed to benefit or cure, or the money will be re- funded. No other medicine of it's class does 1t. How many would be left if they did?
 It's the cheapest blood purifier, sold through druggists, no matter how many doses are offered for a dollar) because you only pay for tue good you get.
 Your money is returned if it doesn't benefit or cure you.

Railroad Wreck at Aa Gerta.
As Thursdays evenings east ex-

As Thursdays evenings east ex- press J. J. McNeil Conductor, Lon Holiday engineer, and George Latimer, fireman reached point about three miles east of La Gerta the engine struck two COWS and threw them off the track and down the embankment. A few feet be- yond there is sharp curve, which prevented the engineer from seeing three more cattle which were standing on the track. They were apparently on the ireman's side of the road bed, and probably hear ing the coming train stepped on the track just in time to throw the engine, baggage and express cars from it. The engine was thrown across the track and turned over so as to stand on its head. There was an empty baggage car next to the engine which was telescoped by the tender and torn all to pieces. This fact probably saved the life of the baggage master. As the engine went over the poor fireman fell under it, and was held by one foot having been caught between the tender and the frebox. The engineer was thrown fully fifteen feet beyond the engine and fell OR the hard gravel, badly hurt and bruised. The baggage master, ex' press messenger and mail agents were badly shaken up and received some bruises, but were not seriously Injured. None of the passengers were hurt, only jolted and well frightened. As soon as the trair stopped the conductor train men and passengers went to work witf will to try and extricate poo
 Latimer who was yet alive and able
 to talk. It took half an hour tC
 do this, and while they were a
 work, he told them not to minC
 him but to try and save the en- gineer; said he. "It is to late, only few moments and it will all bt over, my poor wife, she just lost
 her little boy and now am going.
 He then gave the conductor tht address of his wife and parents anC directed those working to release him, what to do. He lived only a few moments after he was taker out from under the engine. The engineer bore up under his injuries
 bravely, and never gave away unti he was told that Latimer was dead
 when he wept like a child, and al if he had been his own son.
 AS soon as the news reached Yuma roadmaster Doyle at once took the work train and all tht help he could muster and it fairly flew to the scene of the disaster
 A track was laid around the wrecl
 and what was left of the trail
 went on to Tucson drawn by al engine sent from here, whicl left the scene of the wreck little after 4 o'clock Friday morning The engine is a perfect wreck, tn
 express and mail cars but littl better Dr. Taggart went iron here on the work train to attend
 the injured and went with the l passenger train as far as GiIa BenC where he met Dr. Goodfellow sen
 out by the railroad company, wh, returned to Tucson in care o engineer Holiday who at last ac
 counts was very comfortable Th' accident was unavoidable, and is tn
 most serious that has even happen 
 ed in this vicinity.
