Yuma's New kevee.

To day will nearly or quite finish
the levee along the ella from pris-
on hill, up to the main camp of the
graders and to the south end of the
danger line of the old levee. The
work thus far has been we'll done,
and the levee is one upon which
the citizens of Yuma can rely for
protection from any inroads that
the foods of the ella or Colorado
may ever attempt to make. The
material out of which the levee has
been constructed has proved to be
much better than was expected.
Being moist clay it has packed very
hard, so much so, that it will be
impervious to the pressure of high
water.
The older portions of Yuma al
ready begin to feel the effects that
are to be derived from having such
a protection along the ella, and
the price of property is rapidly
advancing. New buildings will
spring up and in time ella Street
and Maiden Lane will become the
most populous portions of the town.
Contractor McKeone expects to
finish the levee in about two weeks.

They Had n Skirmish on the
Bridge.

Thursday, as Professor Behrens
was coming from dinner, he met
Warren carp, who asked him to
take a walk across the bridge,
which he did When fairly on the
bridge, carp asked him if he knew
what he wanted of him. Behrens
said no. carp said, to kill you
and throw you into the river, and
at that seized the Professor by the
neck and endeaVored to throw him
off the bridge. Behrens being
much lighter and rather frail,
seized carp and chung to him go
that he could not carry out his
purpose. Finally after a hard
struggle, carp said, give me 800
and | will let you 60 and I will
leave town. Behrens said no, I
have not got the money. Then
carp said $50, but Professor said
no, then he said $25, to which the
Professor said yes as soon as Mr..
Comstock comes down to night;
when carp let up on him and they
walked back together. carp went
and packed his trunk and when he
came down after his $25, the officer
who held a warrant made his ar
rest, when he said to Behrens, ]
may get two years for this, but re-
member l shall be on your track
and will have you yet. He was
taken to Jail when his bond was
ixed at $1100 which be failed to
give, when Judge Duke reduced it
to $500 cash, which he could rot
give. He is still in Jail. His ex
animation takes place at two
o'clock this afternoon. 1t is said
that carp brought a woman here
with him, and that on account of i'll
treatment she left him. He &C
cuses the Professor of being the
cause of her leaving. This is the
statement of the case as made by
Prof. Behrens, who is well-known
here in Yuma. carp is the youngest
of the carp brothers who became
famous in the history of Tombstone
some years ago.

Who Killed Lucia Reed in

Tom Jones Believed TO Be the Nan
Who Killed Lucia Reed in
Wayoross.
Sheriff Miller Of Ware county, was in
the city yesterday. The object Of his
visit was to ascertain if Thomas Jones,
(colored), who is under arrest for the
shooting in Yamacraw last Sunday morn
ing is Columbus Newcome who murdered
Lucia Reed in Waycross in 1885.
A party from Waycross who saw Jones
after his arrest identified him as New
come and gave the story of his killing Of
the Reed woman in Waycross in 1885. On
the strength Of this story Sheriff Miller
was telegraphed and came to the city
yesterday. He confessed himself, however,
unable TO identify Newcome, and so re-
turned to Waycross without him.
As Jones, or Newcome, q is
now in Jail here on the
charge of assault with intent
to murder, he will be
held for trial on that charge
unless he can be identified as the Way
cross murderer, in which case he will be
taken there for trial. The Savannah de-
tectives are Of the opinion that Jones and
Newcome are the same man, and they
are satisfied that he will be fully identi-
fed later on.
Jones was reported to have a record
when he was arrested for the shooting in
Hamacraw, and the detectives have been
investigating his previous history.

City Court Criminals.

Lewis Henderson, the escaped convict,
was on trial in the city court yesterday,
and was found guilty, but Judge MacDOn-
ell exercised clemency and gave him no
further punishment than to send him
back to the gang to serve the balance of
his sentence.
Henderson was sent up for four years
on several charges in 1886. 1t seems that
early in 1890 he had fight with guard,
and according to his statement, escaping
while the guard was firing at him, was
afraid to go back. Under the circum-
stances he was only sent back for the re-
ma1nder of his sentence, which is only
four months.
Isaac Williams, who stole the base ball
from the Savannah team when they were
playing here several weeks ago, was
given $40 or two months for simple lar
ceny.
Richard Swanson, Sam Maxwell and
Gus Small, who were arrested some
weeks ago on a charge of gambling, were
acquitted on account of the fact that the
witnesses did not make out case against
them.
Henry Barksdale, who was arrested
sometime ago for stealing several shirts
and pistol from the house of w. G.. Ben
nett, and after whom the officers had
such lively chase, he discharging the
pistol at them, was on trial for larceny
from the house. He was found guilty
and was given S25 or three months on the
gang. He paid his fine.
