Yuma Can Pass.

The well known story concerning the man from Yuma who died, went to hell and sent back for his overcoat, can now be considered as ancient history, if a recent arrival from Phoe- nix, who came up here few days ago to cool of, can be believed. He says prominent citizen died there not long since during one of the hot spells, and his body was taken to Los Angeles to be cremated. After reposing in the furnace several hours at a temper ature of about 300 degrees, the at tendants opened the doors and found the Phoenecian sitting up in his pie pan shivering with cold. As the draft from the open door struk him he ouddled up in one corner and bel lowed out "For Gods sake, close that door, or I'll catch my death of cold.-JoWr71aE Miner.

Doings in the Justiees' Court.

In Judge Dukess Court the following cases were tried this week:
 Androoinio Castro, found guilty of being drunk and disorderly. fined $l5.
 Pablo Garcia arrested for assaulting a brother countryman by the name of Luciano Ortago with razor, fined $l7.60. It seems that Garcia invited Ortago to play cards at his residence on First street for money one night the first of the present week. Ortaga accepted the invitation and near daylight Garcia found himself without a cent. Becoming enraged he grabbed up razor and commanded Ortago to disgorge all his wealth on the table and depart. Ortago lost no time in complying with the demand and hurried to Justice of the Peace and had Garcia arrested with the above results.
 Louise DaweIsberg came to town a few days ago and proceeded to celebrate her ar rival by getting ''gloriously drunk" and dis turbing the peace of Mrs. Webber and Mrs. Wilson in particular, and the public in general.
 Judge Willis Court was occupied most of the week trying Judge Duke for malicious mischief and battery. A jury trial in each case was demanded and both juries rendered verdicts of not guilty. Some time ago Judge Duke commenced to erect six room cottage on his lot near the M. B. Church. On the lot being surveyed the fence of Mrs. Peter Monson, on an adjoining lot was found to run several feet on Mir. Dukes lot and he proceeded to tear it down and Mrs Monson proceeded" to have him arrested on the first charge.
 By direction of Mrs. Monson, Charles Miner with assistance went to rebuild the fence and were ordered off the premises by the Judge, @ wordy altercation followed and Miner swore out warrant for assault. The jury coulden't see where any assault had been committed and rendered verdict to that effect. Nearly every citizen in Yuma was subpoenaed on the above two cases.

Home and Abroad

Itis the duty ofeveryone, whether at home or travelling for pleasure or business, to equip himself with the remedy which will keep up strength and prevent illness. and cure such ills as are liable to come upon all in everyday life. For instance, Hoods Sarsaparilla as a general tonic, and to keep the blood pure and less liable to absorb the germs ofdisease, will be we'll nigh invaluable. Change of drinking water often causes serious trouble, especially if one has been used to spring water in the country. From a few drops to teaspocnful of Hoods Sarsa- parilla in tumbler of water will prevent the water having any in furious effect.
 Hoods Vegetable Pills, as a cathartic, cause no discomfort, no loss of sleep, but assist the digestive organs, so that satisfactory results are effected in a natural and regular manner.

 Upon Cheap Burial.

J. Denahey, consumptive who arrived here few weeks ago from San Francisco, was found dead in his bed at the $. P. Hotel Thursday morning. Jerry Denahey, a cousin, had sent him from the above city one hundred dollars and the same had never been drawn from Wells, Fargo & Go. Judge Duke telegraphed his cousin what disposition he wished made with the remains and received an answer to embalm and ship them by the first train to San Francisco and the expense not to exceed $50. The cousin was telegraphed that it was impossible to do as request ed, as the expense for ice, casket and embalming would be $50, The cousin answered that no more than the first amount offered would be allowed. On receipt of this dispatch, as the remains had been kept on ice as long as possible, it was buried. Several hours later the cousin telegraphed "to forward remains and guaranteed expenses. The body was dlsin- tered late last night, put in zine coffin and expressed to the above city.

SECTION OF A VOLCANO
Brought ill from the Other Side of
 the Colorado Desert.

Bob Weyms, who has fairly earned his titte as the "desert tramp" has just returned from that region, and as usual has some new and more or less reliable stories to tell. His business out there IS in interest of the Allisons, who have cattle grazing there at diff ferent times of the year. He left on this particular trip last March, and has come back almost directly from the Hardy river region, which IS near the Colorado river and south of Yuma, and is also the region which has the closest imitation of volcano of any section in the United States. He says the chimney pots," as he calls the smoke holes, are just now particularly active. ''You wake up in the morn ing after sleeping out there on bed of sand and see the smoke rising all around you and from points in some directions as far away as your eye can reach. It looks like the smoke from the chimneys of big city. It does, so help me gracious" says Bob. As he describes it, the soil is largely of clay there, and the smoke, gas or steam is forced up through thIs clay, the operation leaving a round hole in the ground. Sometimes the bubbling shifts so that extinct volcanos or clay holes are found. One of these holes so made--a section of volcano-was brought in by Bob and his party on this trip, and has proved to be an object of great interest, It is baked hard and the hole is worn smooth.
 He was asked whether he went near enough to smell the smoke, but an swered, "No; | have an idea those places are uncanny.
 He says New river is full of water from the Colorado and the overflow is backing into the laguna. There is now plenty of grass on the desert fol stock, and also plenty of heat.-Sa1 Diego S,I,o-

The Largest Wagon Ever Built.

Standing in the store yard of Gandolfo & Sarguinetti is one of
 largest wagons ever built. It was
 built in 1878 by Christopher Horner, the veteran blacksmith and machinist of the Pacific Coast, at
 his shop on Gila street, which at
 that time was the finest equipped
 blacksmith and machine shop on the Coast. It is one of an order of ten given by the Wm. P. Miller, Cargle < Co.,, one of the largest company's dealing in mines in the Territory in early mining years and who in the seventies done a very large and extensive business in the Castle Dome mining dis trict. It was for the purpose of hauling ore from thelr mines in that district to the Colorado river, a distance of twenty miles, for shipment to the smelter at San Francisco by boat, that these monster wagons were built.
 The wagon now occupying a small and shadless space in the above yard has stood there for nearly fifteen years never having been used as the company suspend ed operations short time after it was turned out of the shop. It cost $2000 and its carrying ca pacity is 20 tons.
 In order that the reader may get a faint idea of the size and strength of this wagon we give the following dimensions:
 The front wheels are five feet high and the hind wheels seven; the hubs, the largest ever made are 2x2 feet; the arms or shoulders are IS inches in length; the axles are solid steel; the tires are five inchss wide and one and a quarter inches thick. MT. Horner informed us when we called on him few even ings ago at his shop on Gila street, that he was obliged to send to a large eastern firm for a great deal of the steel used on the wagons. The same came around the Horn by sailing vessels and one year was consumed before it arrived here. He made it a rule to build one of these wagons in ten days with the assistance of helper, and when completed he could run it all around his shop with one hand.
 This wagon slowly decaying, is a mute witness of the grand old days of Yuma and the wealth of the mines that lie along that, of all rivers of the west-the Colorado. where fortunes were made and the value of money in former prosper ous times were never taken into 
 The day will come again, and the time is not far distant, when this which has lain idle for nearly as many years as Rip Van slumbered, will once again ! see active service hauling the precious metal for shipment to a | smelter at this place and Yuma and her mines will awaken once more from the lethargy she has ain in for so many years and the 1um and hustle of activity will i De heard on every side.

AN ELEPHANTS TENDER CARE.
When Left to Watch Children He VIII
Faithfully Protect Them,

When Left to Watch Children He VIII
Faithfully Protect Them.
The whole family of the mahout be-
come, as 1t We're, parasites to the ele-
phant, by whom they earn their living
l have seen a baby placed by its mother
systematically under the elephants care
and within reach of its trunk, while the
mother went to fetch water or to get
wood or material to cook the family
dinner. No jackal Or wolf would be
likely to pick up and carry off baby
who was thus confided to the care of an
elephant, but most people who have lived
life in the jungle know how very pos
sible it is for a jackal or wolf to carry
off baby when lying in hut when the
mothers back is turned.
The children thus brought up in the
companionship of an elephant become
familiar with him and take all kinds of
liberties with him, which the elephant
seems to endure on the principle that it
does not hurt him, while it amuses the
child. You see little naked black child
about feet high standing ON the ele-
phant's bare back and taking it down to
the water to bathe, shouting all the time
in the most unbecoming terms of native
abusive language.
On arriving at the water the elephant,
ostensibly in obedience to the child's
command, lies down and enjoys him
self, just leaving part of his body, like
small island above the water, on
which the small child stands and yells
and yells all the more if he has several
companions of his own age, also in
charge of their elephants, all wallowing
i'll the water around him. If the child
slips off his island, the elephants trunk
promptly replaces him in safety The
little urchins as they grow up become
first mates to mahouts and eventually
arrive at the dignity of being mahouts
themselves. es.-Omaha World Herald.

The Novel of Religion.

heard long ago of an enterprising
tradesman who desired to have the Old
Testament at least broken into a series
of romances. By others, very likely
much less pious men, no version of these
narratives can be tolerated except the
ancient original versions. Yet many
readers or hearers are so familiar with
these, or think themselves so familiar
(they would probably break down under
examination}, that something more
"spicy' is required by them. 1 have
read an American novel about the love
affairs of Judas Iscariot and Mary Mag
dalene. 1t did not interest me, I own,
but it did make me laugh. Probably a
more pious student would have been
cdified. There is no accounting for
tastes. Perhaps no Biblical novel has
ever won critical applause Or been reck-
oned a piece of literature But such
novels hit large class of readers whose
tastes in other matters is not always
bad.
1t would be interesting to know what
the wits and critics Of the restoration
thought and said about "The Pilgrim s
Progress Probably they never looked
into tho cheap little book at all, the
book which has outlived Etherege and
Sedlcy and Rochester and the rest Of
them. OF course it does not by any
means follow that every religious novel
read by the people who do read such
things and neglected by critics is on a
level with Bunyan's masterpiece. An

Fight Between Bull and Alligator

heard an interesting story of fight
between an alligator and big bull on
the shores of Lake Okeechobee Alliga-
tors are quite numerous in that lake, and
1t is little visited by white men, though
Seminole Indians fish and hunt there.
Herds of cattle roam about through that
section Of the state, and the bull in
question belonged to one of these herds.
1t was drinking at small inlet on this
lake when its nose was caught by an al
ligator. The bull managed to free itself
by pulling the gator partly out of the
water. 1t then lowered its horns and
caught the gator, throwing it on the
bank. When the bull made another at
tack, the alligator struck the bull with
its tail and severely hurt it. The bull
managed to tear a hole in the abdomen
or soft spot of the gator, but on anoth-
er charge the gator broke one of the
legs of the bull by blow from its tail.
This disabled the bull, and the gator
managed to break another leg in the
same way, but the saurian soon bled to
death, and the bull, when found with
its two broken legs, had to be shot,
