HOTTER THAN -, WELL,
Col. Darlington Says Flies Die on the
 Wing at Yuma

The Republican last evening received a fraternal call from Colonel J. w. Dor rington, editor of the Yuma Sentinel, and proprietor of the newspaper grave yard at that place. The Sentinel is a close second to the Tucson Citizen in point of years, The Citizen having been the first newspaper established in Arizona. During his control of the paper Col. Darlington has seen the death of many journalistic ventures in the city by the shifting sands, and sadly, but not with upbraiding, he has laid their remains away to a peaceful and unlamented rest.
 The veteran editor says the people of Yuma are in @ blaze of enthusiasm over the decision of Judge Baker that the convicts must be employed on the arid lands. This means that the city and the territorial prison will be self sustaining. More than a hundred men, besides the prisoners, will be en- ployed in the construction of the canal and from S0,OO0 to 100000 acres of fer tile land will be reclaimed.
 Speaking of Yuma, Col. Darlington

PET BEARS SAD FATE.
Meets an Ignominious Death in a Phoe-
 nix Kitchen

A fearful din of rattling chains and pans suddenly awakened the inmates of a house in the western part of the city last Wednesday night. The noise proceeded from the kitchen. It was an unearthly sound and in the dead hour of night was suggestive of spooks or burglars. The children of the fam fly heard the noise-they could not help hearing it-and with chattering teeth they buried their heads under the blankets. aA
 The head of the family also heard the noise and was willing to believe that he was dreaming. But yell from his spouse that drowned the noise be- low involuntarily made him jump out of bed.
 There are burglars in the house." she hoarsely whispered.
 "N-nonsense, my dear, it's only the cat in the kitchen" hubby hastened to reassure her, but his trembling limbs and ghastly face belied his words.
 "Go down and shoot them, or we'll all be murdered in our beds," she said.
 He groaned, but realizing that his home must be protected, he grasped a loaded rife and slowly started down stairs, his teeth and knees playing an accompaniment all the while.
 All this time the dreadful racket in the kitchen was continued, and white robed figure that painfully descended the stairs mentally prayed that he hh fn fo Ivy hut Q wish was uppermost in his mind that the burglars would escape before he ar riven on the scene.
 The kitchen door was ajar, but from within the sound of heavy body roll ing on the floor could be plainly seen. The white robed man sighed and shud- dered, but nerving himself, he eau tiously peered into the kitchen with the muzzle of the rifle pointed at noth- ing in particular. He saw ponderous black mass on the floor with a shape less white head.
 Another mental prayer was offered and the wavering gun was lowered to level with the bulky form A shot rang out. Then another, and all was still. The silence made the man brave and stepping into the kitchen he com manded the intruder to throw up his hands. His command was not com piled with-the form on the floor was still. A match was struck and the in .truder was found to be bear.
