About 9 o'clock last Saturday morn ing George Ellithorpe Giving near the south end of 9sCooper's Lane, ,'' about half way between the Springs and West Staf- ford, ) awoke to find his barn in flames, the roof being then about to fall in. MT. Ellithorpe ran out hastily to save his cat tie, which were huddled under one of the sheds. The barn and two sheds were burned, also new moving machine, nev- CT etSused, buggy and OK wagon, horse rake and all farming tools, some hay and a quantity of meal. To add to the mis- fortune MT. Ellithorpe in some way lost from his pocket a wallet containing $80, of which he later found in the ruins the metal clasp and 8 silver dollar. He esti- mates his total loss at $2,O0O. The in- suranee was 5000. The barn was good one, 90 feet long. The house standing just across the road was considerably scorched, and but for the assistance of neighbors, who kept it we'll wet, might also have burned.

Nature seemed against the outdoor social; first was the hard shower Friday afternoon, and at dusk mist settled over the landscape, hiding the light of the moon, when it arose and causing artificial light to seem rayless. but sixty-eight pa- irons and others tried their best to make the evening at the "Martin-box" a pleas ant one.

 -Ephraim Pinney, a former son of Stafford, is visiting his relatives in this locality, and making his home with his sister, Mrs. R. s. Beebe. His life has been somewhat adventurous one. He left home in his teens and before the war, and before the Union Pacific R. R. was built was in the employ of the govern ment in charge of pack trains then used to cross the plains. He had many excit- ing experiences while thus engaged. A running fight across Arizona with the Apache Indians, and being buried in a storm where the snow fell to a depth of forty feet, and getting his trains out safe, are among a few of such experiences He was among the number of that famous | fighting contingent from California to the 2d Mass. cavalry during the war. He was also among that lucky number who came out alive from Andersonville, where he was a prisoner several months. But, as this is not story of adventure, these hints must suffice. MT. Pinney has a small ranch at Copperopolis, California, near some copper mines. He has not seen Stafford for about twenty years, and | will remain about month.

THROW NO NEUD.

The animose manifested by the Phoenix Gazette and one of its corre- spondents, in regard to the decision of the Algodones Land Grant by the Land Grant Court is most surprising, and seems tinctured with little gall and bitterness, which reflects a per sonal feeling in the matter, rather than a desire for the greatest good to the greatest number. First of all, the case was decided, after one of the most careful and well conducted con- tests by U. s. District Attorney Key holds and his associates, tried twice, and bitterly fought for the United States; that has ever been before that able body of jurists.
 Second. testimony and proofs of signatures, confirmation of every act of the State of Sonora, by the general government of Mexico, and the complete chain of evidence were incontrovertible.
 Third. Not settler has been or will be molcsted. Every one of them will get their lands at less expense than if the government had won the case, for now they can secure them without being to the expense of hav- ing to prove up on them.
 Fourth.-The high standing of the court is such, that it is not to be i'm peached by any such mere personal slurs, at the decision of one of the most important cases brought before it, decided upon facts, truth, right and justice.
 It is not the first time that the correspondent referred to, has made his filings" at Yuma and tried to do all in his power to throw cloud over her titles. A few months ago, when a question arose as to the organization of the town, this same individual came to the front and claimed that he owned large interest in the present town of Yuma simply because he once helped to stake off town on the Colorado, some ways below here, the most of which has since been washed away by the river. When all of the settlers and parties interested, barring out one or two sore heads. arc sat- ig6ed with the decision. we regret tC see anyone, especially in our sister city of Phoenix, trying to throw muc at or cloud over our promising ant prosperous future.

 Consumption fastens its hold upon its vic tins while they are unconscious of its ap- proach. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery has cured thousands of cases Of this most fatal of maladies. But it must be taken before the disease is too far advanced in order to be effective. If taken in time, and given fair trial, it will cure, or money paid for it will be refunded.
 For Weak Lungs, Splitting of Blood, Short ness of Breath, Bronchitis Asthma, severe Coughs, and kindred affections, it is an une- qualed remedy.
 For all diseases that arise from torpid liver and impure blood, nothing can take the place of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov- cry Nothing will, after you have seen what it does. It prevents and cures by removing the cause. It invigorates the liver, purlties the blood, sharpens the appetite improves digestion, and builds up both strength and flesh, when reduced below the standard of health.

DO NGT ERO EFF.

The question of the location of the quarantine station on our border by the California State Board of Health Is one of vital interest to every well wisher of Yuma and her future. It is not believed that the Board would have ever suggested Fl Rio; a place so totally unfit in every regard, with no water, on the only line of travel to the west from Yuma, with old tumb- led down buildings, unfit for anything but bats and rats, and unsafe even for them; at the very point where the heaviest and earliest work on the Colorado canal is to be done; and at the place where the Indians from be- low the line and the Yumas gather to hold their friendly pow-wows; and last but not least upon an Indian reservation and within breathing dis tance of Yuma; had not the facts been misrepresented to them, or had they known the wishes of our citizens. It is to be hoped that our Village Council and other citizens will take this matter up and remonstrate at once with the California authorities and prevent the consummation of such an outrage.
