INNOCENT BROTHER ARRESTED.
One Stole a Carpenters Plane and Sold II
to jew Who Unidentified the Wrong Man

Last night young man was brought
into the station on the charge of stealing
a plane made by a pawnbroker. The
young man declared he never stole any
thing in his life and the deputy and the
patrolman who brought him in were in
clined to believe him, especially as the
patrolman said he had brother who re-
sembled him strongly and was rather
"hy." The young man was put in the
lodging room while the patrolman started
off to hunt up the brother. 1t was after
eleven o'clock when Officer Ed Smith
succeeded in locating the guilty brother
whose name is William H. Metcalf. He
was brought in and locked up, while the
brother, who had been charged with
larceny of the plane was released. The
innocent brother had by accident worn
the hat of the guilty brother yesterday
and it was this hat combined with the
strong resemblance the innocent had for
the guilty that led to the mistake on the
part of the pawnbroker. The stolen plane
bears the name of A. F. Mann, and is
supposed to have been stolen from the
moulders shop of Harrington and Mann ,on
Kennebec street.

BALLooNINa IN THE FOG.
Prof. La Roux Has Rather Rough Ex
perience.

The ba1lon ascension on Monday eve
ming at Willard was rather of discourag-
ing one for Prof. La Roux, but in spite
of his unpleasant experience in the fog
banks his courage is still good and he
will continue his ascension as usual, but
doubtless will refrain from making
themduring foggy weather.
Superintendent Mcleod tried to per-
suade Prof. La Roux not to go up
but the balloonist hasl EhadI too
many broken ribs to mind a trife like a
fog. so rather than disappoint the people
who had gathered at S.25 he gave the
signal to let go and up the balloon shot.
but was soon lost to sight in the fog. The
balloonist had reached a height Of about
three hundred feet when he drew out of
the fog bank and was suddenly caught by
strong breeze that blew him along at a
speed a trife too rapid for his calcula-
tions. By the time he got things ready to
drop he was over House Island. He struck
in the water on the south side of the
island, although of course he did NOT
know his whereabouts at this time. The
Professor wears small rubber life pre-.
server, but this was not properly inflated
and on this account he had to make a
great exertion to reach the island. He
shouted for assistance and the boats
which were in the locality searching for
him heard the cries and in few moments
much to the relief of the Professor he was
taken into the boat. The balloon float
out into the bay and was picked up yes.

 of Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

A white nan first set foot on what is 'now Yuma County in T77l. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and "one of the four original counties of the Ter Fritcry. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in few years ex- pect to sec 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 country 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 only water to become paradise of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already 6 reaction is taking place aad many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters of the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

Tucson and Phoenix. The first IS near the sea level; is the warmest and probably the driest of the three, has the least population, and the smallest provision for visitors. Tucson Is the oldest town in the Territory, and, after Santa Fe, perhaps the oldest in tho Southwest. It's adobe houses give 1t a Mexican look, and are thoroughly comfort able. It's newer houses are of a handsome building stone. found i'll the vicinity. The Territorial University is here, and it was formerly the capital Its elevation being more than double that of Phoenix, 1t is somewhat cooler. and as there is next to no irrigation near it, the air is Q little drier.
 Phoenix is the centre of the greatest irriga-
 tiOn in the Territory. The country for miles around smiles with green fields, cover ed with almost countless herds of cattl;, and it is everywhere shut in by low mount lins It is the Territorial capital, has the Government Indian School, the Territorial
 Lunatie Asylum, and other institutions, and is the general focus for the Territory. Like Tucson, it has it's occasional wind and sand storms perhaps not quite so often. At either place visitors who know how to adapt themselves to circumstances can be entirely comfortable, and in each they will find an intelligent, orderly, enterprising and most hospitable community. They will 
 find country full of mines, full of rich agricultural lands, abounding in cattle and horses, in vineyards and orchards and the beginnings of very successful orange groves "a country, in fact, as full of promise for hardy and adventurous men now as Califor- nia was in the:ffties. Above all, it has beer their lot to search for health in far countries, they will revel in the luxury of being in their own land, among their own countrymen, within easy reach of their friends by telegraph or rail, and in a climate as good of it's kind as any in the world.
