Mr.. and Mrs. johnson returned home
later in the afternoon and the wounded
boy was brought home from Mr.. Mays.
The father of the family went at once to
Jamaica village to notify j. Q. Shumway,
the deputy sheriff. 1t was now so late
that search for the fugitive was not at
tempted.
Early the next morning Mr.. Shumway
and W. l.. Phelps, muscular young man
who has been in the meat business in ia
maica, started out to hunt for the culprit,
first telephoning the circumstances of the
case to States Attorney C. c. Fits of Brat
tleboro. They left their team at Dwight
Bowen's in the Maynard Hollow district,
about three miles northwest of where the
shooting had occurred, but where Fred
johnson had recently been employed.
They had not been out on their tramp long
when Mr.. Phelps saw their man on hill
20 rods away busily engaged with some OBJ
ject in his hand. Mr.. Phelps and Mr..
Shumway separated, so as to be sure of
capturing Johnson. When Phelps was
only few rods away johnson looked up
and then started to run. Mr.. Phelps pull
ed out his revolver and ordered him to
stop. Phelps, being feeter of foot, soon
overlook johnson, who offered no resist
ance, but accompanied Shumway and
Phelps to Mr.. BOwen's and rode with them
from there to Jamaica. The object upon
which he was working proved to be a 49,
calibre revolver, not loaded, which John
son stole during the night from the house
of Hugh Hanson, a Swede.

The above cut illustrates an AUTOMATIC WATER GATE, to regulate and keep in subjeetioa the rise of water in canal, due to an over-abund ant flow or to sudden rises in the canal owing to severe rains or storms.
 It is particularly valuable to have such a Water Gate placed in lower bank of canal at such points along it's line Where there are Ravines, GulliesS Arroyos, Foot Hills, Buttes, or Tableland, as any rains or storms bring down at such points surplus of water that is very dangerous to the banks ok canal.

 The device is extremely simple, and compara- lively inexpensive Its plan of operation IS this:
 There is a pipe fastened to an opening in the vertical gate, l. When the body of water rises to the level of the upper end of pipe, 2, water runs freely into the tank 3, which is immediately filled, thus overbalancing the weight, 4, which is on the other end of lever, g. thus forcing open the gate, which suddenly relieves the canal of 8 large sur plus of water. When body of water recedes oslo" certain level, no more water IS admitted se tne tank; therefore empties itself by a small faucet opening G. at the bottom; this being done, the weight overbalances tank, and brings down the lever. which being rigid to the swinging gate closes it.

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social and industrial de- velopment. There can't be doubt about the fact. The dawn for which she has waited so long is breaking at last. There is every promise of day of great pros perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of a new and ener- gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people, while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small im- pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her a full share of atten- tiOn and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 4 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There is a scramble for franchises Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest are falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lenders than this.
 Arizona has reached that climacticer period which every western state has ex- perienced sometime in its history when. after long and weary struggle and doubt, with each side of the balance first up and then QOWn, Un0 ClOuuS OI uSSpOnueuCy have suddenly rolled away, and sunhurst of energizing hope has thrilled the droop ing spirits of the people to greater and braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com pletion of two transcontinental lines of railroad across her territory-Arizona has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulating a fund of substantial wealth and a force of moral character which qualify her now to rise up and take her destiny in her own hands.
 The population of Arizona is Mexican. This is mistake of great importance from the moral point of view. There is but one considerable center of Mexican population in the territory, the city of Tucson and even there it is not by any means at pres ent the predOminating element. It think it is certain that Arizona has not to-day nearly so large a Mexican population as Colorado and not above one-tenth as much as New Mexico. -"Fitz- Mac" in' Denver News

 Because churches, schools, newspapers and railroads are fast developing the moral and material elements of the Territory.

 Because there are neither blizzards or tornadoes, earthquakes nor inundations, snow-storms nor cyclones.

Resources
 of Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

A white nan first set foot on what IS now Yuma County in l77l. It is the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter ritcry. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in few years ex- pect to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali fornia catches of Arizona is that of the picturesque town of Yuma, which is snugly situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills, upon whose crests and sides the modern homes of our superior civilization are crowding the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undeyeloped riches the eyes of the ountry are at present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized But coupled with her geographi- cal position we find that she is the center of @ country whose agricultural possibili- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting only water to become paradise ot bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters of the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth

years old, was sent to the reform school
from Ottawa, on Tuesday, for stealing
one dollar. When asked why he stole
the money his reply was that he was
anxious tOSecure an education but could
not do so because he had no books, and
his clothes were ragged. The idea came
to him that he could learn in the reform
school at Pontiac if he could somehow
get in, and, and to carry out the plan, hi
stole the money.

he was sure to make it known He
knew nearly every train man on the
