ANCIENT CASES.
Disposed of by Judge Hawk

Tucson Star: Judge Hawkins sit ting in the place of Judge BeIthune had the calendar for Pima county in and for rlhe First judicial district called yesterday.
 Unaware of the havoc for which he was paving the way, Deputy District Clerk w. P. B. Field (may his memory be execrated) had prepared a calendar embracing every .itigious action ap- parently or really. unsettled. There were all together 175 cases Of these fOrty-fve were dismissed by Judge Hawkins, a few of them cn the motion of gray haired attorneys who retained dim recollection of the circumstances attending their inception.
 Among them were several, the parties to which had long supposed that everything had been settled. The ltd.gants were satisfied, or thought they were, until the calendar proved conclusive.y that they were still at law.
 Then there were several cases which had been tried and taken under ad- visement by various judges who had presided during the epicene, the co., cene, the pliocene and other geological. periods.
 In some of lthese cases the original litigants had long ago died leaving no heirs to carry on the disputes by ap- pealing from the product of the advis- ing judges after the period of incuba- tlon had been concluded

DITCHING NEAR YUMA.

Yuma Sun: William Fain and two, or three other farmers have decided that the way to have a canal is to build one, and have set about the matter. They have body of fine land some four miles down the river from Yuma and the canal will be built for the pur- pose of watering this tract of land. They will take the water from the river when 1t is high by gravity dilhch and run it into a slough and then use it as needed. The idea is no doubt practical and they wlll IIikely succeed. Of course they will mot be able to get any water until the river comes up, as the ditch will not carry out water when the river is low. We understand they are now at work upon the ditch and are alsoc learing land.

IH es HERMIT REAV[S IS DEAD Was a Noted Arizona Character. Lived in the Midst of Remote Mountains. Ills Body Found on the Trail Partly Eaten by Ills
 Dogs.

Florence Tribune: Word was brough: into Florence Thursday by Bub Neigh bors of the finding of the decomposed and half eaten body of E. M. Reavis, we'll known assthe Hermit of the Su- perstition Mountains" on the traLl about four miles from his ranch. the Reavis ranch on the 20th of April, when the hermit was about ito start out for Mesa to procure some seed po- tatoes. Being at J. J. Fraser's ranch on the 9th inst, and finding that Req wis had not passed that way, as he would necessarily be compelled ito do, De1aibaugh became alarmed and went back on the trafl to learn the reason. He found the body of the old hermit lying near the trail as stated. His bur ros were tied near by, half starved from their fast of fifteen days, and two dogs were lowering near their dead master, but had evidently devoured a portion of his body.
 Justice Wm. H. Benson left Florence yesterday to hold an inquest on the re- mains.
 The Reavis ranch is in an almo,lt in accessible part of the Superstition mountains, about fifteen miles north west of Silver King. For over twenty years the oid man has lived there alone, only rarely coming to town, when his long grizzly hair and beard and unkempt appearance caused a de- cided sensation. He never went out side his door without rifle in his hand, and the Apaches had wholesome dread of him, and we'll they might, for he had caused many of them to bite the dust. Even white visitors were not welcome, and he seemed to Elhun the sight Of all human kind. His lit- tie ranch of few acres was highly cul- tivated, the spot being described as very beautiful.
 What caused Reavis to lead a her mit's life is not known, but is supposed to have been family troubles. About two years ago Chas. P. Mason received a letter from lady in Illinois who claimed to be daughter, making in quiries of her father. He is said ito be brother of L. U.' Reavis, the "capital remover" of St. Louis, and is also said to be related to Baron" Reavis, or

CARLSON'S RAILROAD.
He Is Still Confident That Success to
 It WilN Come

San Diego Sun: Mayor Carlson ex- pressed himself as very pleased when d representative of The Sun called upon him to learn the latest regarding the prospects of his proposed railroad from San Diego to an eastern connection at ar near Yuma. "My last visit to San Francisco" said the mayor, "was solely tin the interests of that road, and to obtain, if possible, permission from my associates to make known to the com milttee appointed to confer with me such information as they deemed nec- essary before undertaking to raise a guarantee fund of $48O,O0O. In my opinion the raising of this subsidy should not be delayed pending this in- formation. I would never have made the proposition ito the citizens of San Diego if 1 were not positive that when the guarantee fund is raised the road
 will be built, but in deference to the ex- pressed wish of the committee, I have asked that the source from which tlhe money would come to build the road
 be made known to the gentlemen cOm- pn.sing that committee. So far my re- quest has not been granted. The in- formation sought for is more serious than the average person might i'm agine, for the reason that the success of making railroad enterprises depends upon itlhe utmost secrecy being kept as to the real parties interested, and 50 it may be with tine one now under con- sideraldion. San Diego needs another ! railroad above all other things, and seeing that our company does not ask for cash, but is quite wflling to take the subsidy in notes secured by req,
 estate, and only payable after ltfhe road
 has been in operation a year. with the
 great possibility then that it may not be needed, it seems as though there is everything to gain and nothing to
 lose"
