4 SAVAGE CANARY.
One Of tho Worry Latest Of wild Stories
About Won Known Animals.

One Of tho Worry Latest Of wild stc1tes
About Wen Known Animals.
So many stories have been told recently
Of battles between tigers and snakes,
wildcats and elephants, eagles and ALI
gators and Goldfish and wild hogs that
the following accurate description Of an
encounter between q tomcat and ca
nary bird cannot fail to be interesting:
The tomcat and the canary were the
property of an animal dealer on the west
side who has long had reputation for
veracity. Tho canary was noted for its
ferceness. It is female bird about
years old with bright yellow feather
ing. The tomcat is quite white, with
four legs, and weighs-or rather weighed
about 10 pounds.
During the morning it was noticed
that the canary seemed unusually saw
age. She paced up and down her cage
in great rage, gnashing her teeth and
glaring at the poor cat, toward whom it
turned out she had developed fierce an
tipathy.
The keeper secured the door Of the
cage, as he thought, firmly, but during
paroxysm Of temper the canary
smashed the fastening and was free.
What a momentl The unfortunate
tomcat gave a cry of terror and looked
around for some means Of escape, but
there was none, the door Of the room in
which the carnivorous animals were kept
being locked.
The proprietor of the menagerie could
do nothing. Spellbound he watched the
uneven contest, fearing all the time that
the fury of the canary bird would be ex-
pended on himself.
With a piteous mean the wretched
tomcat felt the talons Of the canary bird
sink into his head. He raised himself
and tried to fight her off, but the bird
parried his every blow and fiercely
pecked at his eyes.
Once the cat seized the bird in his
paw, but she got away from him in a
moment with the loss of only one feather.
She returned to the charge and rendered
one of the cats eyes blind with her sharp
bill.
The fight had lasted five minutes, and
the cat had all the. worst Of it. He was
painting, and every now and then rolled
over exhausted, uttering pitiful cries.
Though he was valued at $10O, the keeper
of the menagerie, who was armed with
sword and shotgun, did not dare tc
interfere to save him. The blood of the
canary was up, and she meant to slay the
cat.
It was not long before the awful work
was accomplished. The bird by an adroii
movement common to canaries when in
conflict with quadrupeds rendered the
poor Thomas cat quite blind. Then, al
her leisure, with q series Of fierce jabs
she penetrated his brain, and he rolled
over completely dead.
The boss was trembling for his own
safety, but it now seemed that the saw
age instincts of the canary had been sa,
tisied, for with jaunty air sheregained
her cage and began to warble song o.
victory.
1t meant life or death to shut thedooy,
but the brave boss crept courageously
up to the cage and succeeded in accom-
plishing this feat. Then he ran out into
the street and tainted. The nerve pres
sure had been too great for him.-New

Julio Martinez returned We'd nesday evening, after hard ride for two days and nights, in pursuit of the horse thief "Chango," or Rafael Martinez, during which time he did some most excellent detec- tive work, following him through brush, chapparel and over trails and dim by-paths. "Ghango" stole two horses at Lagunitas, few miles below town last week, one belonging to Frank Redondo and the other to Pablo Pino. Julio found the horses about three miles this side of Chas. Bakers ranch at Filibuster, near Adonde, as they were coming down out of the foot hills where "Chango" had hidden them, and near where he came per ishing for the want of water. The horse-thief is @ worthless rowing Mexican, a semi-sport and would be bad man, and will be remem- bered as the rowdy who drew a knife on Charlie Cowell a few weeks since. He is said to have left for Sonora. It will be a good thing for Yuma if he has gone to stay

ET.e Railroad Meeting.

The committee selected by the people of San Diego consisting of Hon. o. J. Slough, Nathan Watts and c. J. Fox, to consult with the people of Phoenix as to the build ing of the San Diego, Yuma and Phoenix railroad returned from Phoenix yesterday morning, Messrs. Slough and Watts, having been called home on urgent busi- ness went on through, but MT. Fox remained over and yesterday took in the situation visiting all the points of interest in and around town. MT. F. has had 40 years experience as an engineer, and as early as 1869, surveyed and located the line and bridge across the river at this point, for the Memphis and El Paso railroad, afterwards the Texas Pacific, the grades of which can yet be seen near the prison and the Ft. Yuma Indian school. He was met last evening by @ large and enthusiastic number of our leading citizens at the s. P. hotel.
 The meeting was presided over by President H. w. Blaisdell of the Commercial Club, who ex- plained the objects of it's call, and in very neat manner introduced MT. Fox, who made 8 most inter- esting speech, expressing his great surprise at the rapid progress that Yuma is making. He gave in de- tail the object of his visit to Yuma, the building of the San Diego, Yuma and Phoenix railroad. MT. Fox's speech was listened to with the most intense interest and en- thusiasm. After its conclusion, on motion, the Chairman appointed Judge J. L. VanDerwerker, l.. A. Hicks, J. w. Darlington, J. H. Carpenter, John Gandolfo, F. B. Wightman and c. R. Rockwood, a committee, for the purpose of con- sulting with our own, and the peo- pie of San Diego and Phoenix as to the best means for securing the building of this most important line of communication. The meet ing adjourned amidst the greatest enthusiasm, every one feeling that it had been one of the most inn portant ever held in Yuma, and that Mir. Fox mad accomplished a great work in his visit to our people.

The Tucson Star lately had a correspondent in town, who in all of her meanderings, did not learn that there was a newspaper pub lished here, or that there was an editor in town, while Yuma boasts of having two good local papers. Where in the world she learned that Zone rancher had raised 5000 worth of beets, sold at the average of 15 cents per pound" we are un- able as yet to find out. The town may possibly have some "beats" of the genus "hobo," but the whole lot of them are not worth 15 cents. As she asked to be corrected we have done @ part of our duty.
