The Arizona sentinel., 1892-05-21

Some well-known miscreants, who ought to be behind the prison bars, went into Judge Levy's gar den a few nights ago, and stole the apricots off from one of his fayorite trees. It is pity, as has been suggested, that the owners of the gardens in Yuma, do not take a good blacksnake whip and admin ister such punishment to such thieves as they deserve. It does no good to arrest and fine them, for they are deadbroke, never hav- ing cent, or ifby chance they get
 one, it is spent for liquor, and their poor hard working mothers pay their fines, so that it is the mother and not the thief that gets punish ed by the law. If their mothers would let them lie in jail, or work out their fines in a chain gang on the street, it would soon put a stop to this sort of thieving and rowdy- ism.

Superintendent E. B. Wagy, of the Mohawk Ranch Company, has been appointed commissioner to the Columbian Exhibition at Chi cago, from Yuma county, by Gov ernor Murphy. Mr. Wagy is one of our most enterprising citizens, whose every interest is identified with the county and will mako an excellent man for the place. He has already taken hold of the work in earnest, and desires that at this time especially the miners, mine owners, prospectors and every one else who can, to begin to gather up and get together specimens of minerals of all kinds which will be carefully labelled with the owners name, mine or place where found, and taken care of, sJ that Yuma county may be able to make such a display of her minerals as will show to the world, at least one of her many natural resources. The appointment is a good one.

He has req son to be proud of the honor worthily bestowed upon him.

SATURDAY. MAY 2I, 1892.

President Harrison upon the recon nendation of Governor Murphy has made most excellent appointment in that of Hon. w. K. Mead to succeed Wm. Zeckendorf as Worlds Fair Commissioner from Arizona to the great exhibition at Chicago. Mir. Mead is peculiarly qualified to fill the place and will do all within his power for the many and varied interests of the Territory. It is one Of the very best appointments that has ever been made for Arizona. Tho Governors choice could not be improved upon.
