BIBLE HEROES SOLD.
Romance and Trade in the History
Company Suit.

The suit brought by Stakeholder Nor
rlson against tie History Company for an
alleged conspiracy on the part of some Of
the directors is still pending before Judge
Levy and jury. Indeed, the trial bids fair
never TO end.
Proceedings are occasionally enliyeDed by
the usual vigorous objections, counsel on
both sides being normal and healthy law
yerS and an additional source of amuse-
ment arises from the association of drv
legal phras eOlogy with the romantic names
of some Of the books handled by the com
pany.
t Considerable solicitude was manifested
by Attorney Campbell yesterday in regard
to whether Gladstone had been in the hands
OF book-agents lately. The jury breathed a
sign OF relief when they learned that the

eXcruclating Of tOrments, and the religious
among them were greatly shocked when
they were told that "Bible Heroes" had
bean sold all over the Pacific States at a
rldiculOuslyilow figure. 1t was some con-
ISOLATION, however, TO be assured that THAT
Brayest Heroes, ""Bcautlful Gems" Beau

been allowed to repOse upon the shelf for

to his neighb0r that if the shelf was as

doors were thrown open and soon 'The

of Yuma's pleasant crowds. The
music was fine. The Larizola Sisters,
not strangers to Yuma, were at their

can always draw for supply of

Water in any arid region is gold,
and in this case better, though it
takes gold to put it where it is

you will have the finest lands in

water. When the tide goes out
they are formed by the small
streams that ooze out of the black
mud with which they are sur.

fit from the baths, which he was
enabled to take by first digging a
hole every day with a shovel,
which the warm water fills and in
which he could lie down and battle.

partially protected by Long Point
