 of Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

A white man first set foot on what is now YRma 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 snugiy 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 undeyelopedriches the eyes of the ountry are at present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with a rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographi- cal position we find that she is the center of a 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 oaly water to become a paradise of Bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma 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.

THE CLIMATE OF YUMA.

The climate of Yuma for nine months of the year has no equal, as we believe, in the world, and during the remaining three months of the year, comprising June, July and August, the heat is not oppressive. Even though the thermometer in mid-sum- mer may a4 times rise above l000, and oc- easionally even reach llO0, yet, owing to the absence of moisture in the air, it is not oppressive. The atmosphere is pure, light and balmy. When the mercury marks the highest extreme of heat, person does not feel that oppression or debility which is felt in the Eastern States when the mer- cury is ranging from SO' to 9Oo. The air is so dry that precipitation is absorbed as soon as it reaches the surface of the hody, and at no tune in the summer does the heat produce any discomfort.

invitation extended to the president
read
as business men and citizens of
Chicago. irrespective of party affilia-
tons, we respectfully invite you and
Mrs. Cleveland to a public reception to
be rendered to you in this city. to ex-
press our deep sense of appreciation of
your statesman-like and courageous
action in maintaining the financial
credit of our government and your I'M
compromising attitude in favor of the
preservation of a sound national cur

In an interview tonight. Mr.. Robbins
said:
While the business men who extend
this invitation hoped for favorable
response. they fully realized the diff

acceptance. His inability to overcome
these and come to Chicago will be
deeply regretted by them. as the ova-
ton which would have been accorded
to him here would have given great
impetus to the honest money .senti-
ment throughout the west. Still his
letter will have almost as wide an in
fuence as it speaks on this topic with
his usual courage and directness.'

Denver. April 14.-Within the coming
fortnight the district attorney of
Arapahoe county will be called upon to
prosecute for murder a wealthy and
influential farmer in the state Of Mis-
souri,. about fourteen miles east of
Kansas City. who passed there under
the name of David Patrick.
The neighbors of David Patrick re-
gard him as an honest, law-abiding
farmer. who has amassed riches,
raised a family of FIVE children and
lived in their midst without reproach
for a period ofstwenty-five years.
But that Missouri farming COM
munity does not know the entire his
tory of the wealthy and apparently
exemplary Mr. Patrick Before set

for murder committed by him and l..
p. Griswold. whose peculiarly atrocious
crimes are stfll Remembered with
horror by old timers in Colorado and

Patrick fled the state. and was not

authorities until a few nights ago
when he sent word to General David j.
Cook, assistant chief of the Denver
detective department. that he was tired
of an outlaws life and would come
back to stand a prosecution. if assured
of protection against mob violence and
a fair show in the courts. He was
promised all he asked and a letter was
received by General Cook last night
signed by Patrick's father-in-law, say
ing he will be in Denver this week.
General Cook says there were ex-
tenuating circumstances connected
with the part Patrick played in
O'NeaPs death. as he was the tool of
L. P. Griswold and only a secondary
character in the plot of the lynching.
Patrick claims that Griswold led him
to believe that O'Neal was firebug
and after securing a warrant for him
they hanged him and then reported
that he had been taken from them by a
mob and lynched.

Washington, April 1.-THE determi-
nation of the appellants in the income
tax case to secure a re-hearing be-
fore full bench of THE United States
Supreme Court on the points on which
the court divided, has caused a re-
newal of the interest in the question
of Justice Jackson's health and the
possibility of his return TO the bench
at an early day. /
Late adyices from Judge Jackson5
home at Nashville are that he is con-l
stantly improving and, barring a very
annoying cough. his physical condi-
ton is fairly good. 1t is also stated
from the same source that he expects
TO be able to resume his duties as a
member of the court at the beginning
OF the October term There remains
little more than a month OF the pres
ent term and it is now suggested that
he may return for this brief period. in
view of the fact there can be no pos
sibility of another argument in the
case before next fall or winter. This
is equally true if Justice jackson
should decide to retire permanently
from the bench, which 1t Is under
stod he has no thought of doing. In
that contingency, however the bench
could notNbe filed before the asseulb-
ling of Congress. No instance is
known when a man nominated for
the supreme bench has taken his seat
before he was confirmed by the Sen
ate. Congress will not convene until
next December. and under no circunl-
stances would the Senate be likely to
pass upon a nomination of this mag
nitude until after the Christmas holi-
days Action might indeed be post
poned much longer and it possibly
would be if the predictions of the
nominee should be opposed to the IN
come tax, as the Senate is committed
to the law. 1t is also suggested that
a justice who had not participated in
the first hearing might feel deli
cacy in sitting when the case was
under consideration second time.
Rule of the Court.
1t is quite possible that the petit
ton for a rehearihg may not be
granted. The courts rule Of proceed
ure in such cases is only TO grant .
such petitions upon the request Of =
member of the court who has vo
in opposition to the wishes of the
titioner.
Senator Chandler, or New HamIE
shire, was asked today for his opir$
ion as to the suggestion of Assistant
General Whitney that the conStitutiox&
might be so amended as to prov
for the imposition of direct taxes. z
replied:
''To amend the constitution. e is
necessary to secure a two-thirds vote
of Congress. and then ITO have the
amendment ratified by the state leg
islatures. think it would be imprac-
ticable to do that. There never mas
been any amendments to the conSti-4
tuition except of a negative character
none providing for modes of gov
eminent and with the increasing
members of both houses of Congress
and the growth of the union of states,
it becomes more and more difficult to
secure a change. Furthermore, I do
not think an amendment Of the leg
islation is needed to secure a valid
income tax law. 1t can be held by
apportioning the tax among the states
in proportion to population, and j am
inclined ito think that since the deci-
sion of the Supreme Court there wiz
be aQ effort in that direction at the
next session"

A LIVELY BRUSH.
BRITISH AND NATIVES COME To-
GETHER AGAIN.
Former Forced to Retire, and Col
Onel Baty Was Killed, Although
the Enemy Lost Heavily.

Simla, April 14.-The guides and in
fantry belonging to the brigade of
General Waterfield, part of the force
operating against Umra Khan, of Jen-
dol, were detached from the brigade
and sent across the Pung Jkora river
to reconnoiter and to chastise some
villagers who had been firing on the
British camp. The British met a
strong force of the enemy and were
compelled to retreat, covered by an
artillery fire. Colonel Baty was killed
and several others of the British force
were wounded. The natives showed
great determination and are still out
in force in the Pung Jkora river.
The Third brigade has Joined the
First and Second brigade at Sado.
The natives kept up a fire on the
British while the latter were en-
gagged in constructing a raft bridge
over the river. The bridge was fin
ally finished, and Coleael Baty, who
was in command of the guides, cross
ed over safely with orders to form a
camp in the morning and destroy the
native villages. The enemy, finding
that their fire had not prevented the
completion of the bridge, decided to
destroy it. During the night they
threw immense logs into the river
above the bridge. These were caught
in the rapid current and carried down
with great force against the tran
bridge. smashing it to pieces. With
the destruction of the bridge, Colonel
Baty and his party were cut off
from the main body OF the
British forces. Colonel Baty, now
ever, proceeded into the hills to

ing. General Waterfield signalled back
orders for Colonel Baty to retreat.
Gen. Waterfield said his forces covered
the retreat with their mountain bat
terry and Maxim guns which were
moved to the bank Of the river from
the spur. Colonel Baty executed the re-
treat in a masterful manner. When
hotly pressed by the enemy, halt
would be made and whitening fire
poured into the pursuers, whose con-
fusion would enable the British force
to retire. The practice succeeded until
the British reached wide place, when,
through fear of hitting their men,
General Waterfield's forces were told
to cease firing, leaving Colonel Baty
to depend upon his own resources. The
natives tried to cut off the retreat to
looked very serious. The retreat, how
ever, continued in an orderly manner.
One section would halt and fire to
cover the retreat of the others, and
would return to their comrades before
the natives would again start in pur-
suit of them. These tactics were fol-
lowed unity the enemy was within
thirty yards of the river Colonel Baty
was killed by a bullet just as the
British got within hailing distance of
General Waterfield's camp. The
enemy lost heavily. It is now reported
they have dispersed. Materials are
being hurried forward for the con-
'tructlon OF a suspension bridge across
