POLICE COURT.
Life and Adventures of James
Mccarthy, Sailor.
A Man Who was Wrecked at Samoa
Stranded at Albuquerque and
Cast up at Phoenix.

Recorder Jobs first police court sub
ject is historic character, James Nc.
Carthy. Mccarthy was arrested on
Sunday evening for begging on the
streets. He was permitted to make a
statement. He said he was a sailor
and had been in the service of the navy
for several years. The most exciting
incident in his career was the ship
wreck of the United States man-of.war,
Vandalia, in the Bay of Apia in 1879
He was on board the Vandalia when
she went down with the German Adler
and dozen other ontributions from
the strongest navies OF the world. Mr..
| McCarthy's realistic description of the
most terrible and disastrous storm that
ever swept the South sea, was decidedly
graphic and ought to have secured for
him the consideration of the court.
Well, it did. Mccarthy continued in
the navy and last winter reached Mare
Island from cruise along the eastern
South American coast. He drew his
pay and set out on visit to sister at
Denver, having left go much of his
money as he thought he would moi
need on board his vessel. He started
on his return to Mare Island. His
vessel in the meantime had been or.
dered to Nicaragua or China.
When he reached Albuquerque he
had misadventure which left him
without any other resources than the
sinking fund, which was somewhere or
the Pacific, east of Japan, west of Sar
Francisco. south of Point Hope and
north OF Cape Horn. But if he coulc
reach Vallejo he would be all right. sc
he mounted the brake beam of the frs
westbound A. & P. train. He succeeded
after while in reaching Ash Fork
where he was discovered and fired from
his perch.
He met other gentlemen Of the road
and greater experience. They advised
him to make q detour by the way O.
Phoenix and Maricopa. They told him
that the brake ebeams on the Southern
Pacific were made Of softer wood. The
rates were lover ard trakemen anc
Conductors less scruSinizing.
That is how Mccarthy came to be il
Phoenix. The Judgment of the cogrt
was that Mccarthy should serve tn
days in Jail Or exhaust not more thar
ten minutes in leaving town. Tha,
was satisfactory on all sides, and in les:
than ten minutes Mccarthy was ort-
side the city limits lettering along thu
NJ. & P, waiting to be overtaken by 6

Another subject OF the recorder,

got drunk and went to sleep on the
streets. He was fined 50.

Yesterday morning the O'Neil Brothers left by wagon for their ranch on the Arizona side of the Colorado river near Light House Rock. On reaching Picacho they will cross the river.
 The Brothers have taken up 960 acres of land in that vicinity, and will immediately upon their ar rival at the ranch commence to cultivate and sow a large acreage to alfalfa, They will go into the hog business on a large scale. It is said that they have one of the best selected pumping places on the Colorado river as they also have the finest piece of land.
 They have already a pump erect ed that will raise water sufficient to irrigate the whole tract of land. Nature has fenced their land for them. The mountains surround it on three sides and the grand old Colorado on the other.
 These gentlemen are the first we have seen to take a hold of the rich lands that surround Yuma with the intention of cultivating the soil for their own use on 8 large scale. Their operations will be closely watched, and if they are successful, and there is not yestige of doubt in our minds but what they will be, it will be the dawning of an era of prosperity for this section never before seen or dreamt of by the most sanguine.
 We prophecy that in five years from now the land that they have taken up for $1.25 an acre can't be bought for $500 per acre,
 We have based our belief on the fact that they have spent nearly $4,OOO hunting a place to locate before coming here; that they are investing their own money in this enterprise; that they are intelligent and indefatigable workers and will supervise the enterprise them selves.
 They have been investigating the possibilities of this section fol more than a year and therefore are well acquainted with this section of country and what the soil will produce when properly cultivated As soon as they get nicely started they will put on the river smal steam launch for their own use.

He arrived here last October but the disease had too strong Q hold and our balmy climate failed to prove beneficial and knowing that his time in this world was of short duration he concluded if possible to spend his last hours with his parents and relatives. He was so weak that it took two men to help him on the train. We sincerely hope that his wishes will be granted and he will reach his home safely.
