STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. Willard E. Coleman Killed at
 Bush Valley,

Ammon McFate, of Bush Valley, ar. rived in St. Johns about 2 o'clock Frl- day morning. and from him we learned the particulars in regard to the death of Willard E. Coleman, of that place, who was killed by stroke of lightning on Thursday, the 18th inst.
 It seems that Mir. Coleman was work in the garden sdjolninG his residence, and his wife becoming alarmed because he did not come to dinner, started, in company with Mrs. Hamblin. g sister, who was visiting the family at the time, to the garden to find out the cause of his non-appearsnce. They had pro. ceeded but short distance when they discovered him lying face downward where he had been at work. Assistance was summoned, and he was taken to the house, but life was extinct. The funeral services will be held to-day (Saturday) from his late home in Bush Valley.
 The deceased was in the twenty ninth year of his age. and has lived in this county since boyhoed. He was we'll and favorably known all over the southern part of the county. He leaves wife (nee Miss Amelia Kempe) and two children to mourn his untimely de- mise. He was 8 son of P. T. Coleman. ST., of SpringervIlle, 2 brother of Mrs. J. N. Haywood, of this place, and also had 8 very large number of other fam fly connections in this county.
 Mir. Coleman was q member of Com pany X.. of this place. and in him the company loses good soldier. We sx- tend our heartfelt sympathy to the members of the bereaved family in their sudden bereavement.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The following is the weekly bulletin of the Arizona section of the climate and crop service of the weather bureau for the week ending July 20, 1897: The latest reports from crop correspondents indicate that the cool pleasant weather which has prevailed almost uniformly throughout Ari- zona during the current year, up to about the beginning of the week just closed, has at last given place to real summer temperatures. The facts however, that the middle decade of July, the season when occasional thunderstorms and showers and consequently cooling winds from the mountains usually begin, has been reached. without serious inconvenience from heat, and that only half of the summer yet remains, is re- garded by old residents and temporary sojourn- CTS alike as matters of congratulations. Scattering showers occurred in nearly every | in the territory during the week. Although the | rainfall was generally very light, it was suffi- cit nt to start the range grass in the mountain and plateau distIicts freshening corn beans and other seasonable products on lands not wholly dependent on irrigation for moisture and on which crops were beginning to suffer, and. in 6 small measure, to rsplenish the supply of water in irrigating canals and water holes. l In Salt River valley threshing is over and grain is being marketed. The yield is said to be the best in many years. The third sndfourth crops of alfalfa are being cut or pastured. Grapes are ripe and being shipped in large quantities. Testing of the sugar beets grown in he large number of experimental patches cultivated in the valley will begin about the first day of August. The beets are reported to be in fine healthy condition, but it is generally believed that they have been over-irrigated and are too large to yield the highest percentage of sugar. This belief Is strengthened. or perhaps originated, by a recent circular issued by the di- rector of the Territorial Experiment station, under whose guidance the experiments are be- ing made, in which he advises that irrigation be practiced more sparing1y.
 In Navajo county fall wheat and rye are being harvested Some fields are smutty. The spring wheat which was blown down by the storms of June s and II has frightened up, is ripening and will yield good crop:
 Notwithstanding the scarcity of green feed and water, all kinds of stock are reported 10 be in good condition.

 It's so strange that such simple things are overlooked by those who want health.

A Complaint was issued hy District Attorney E, s. Clark Monday against one O'Toole. charged with vandalism. O'Toole has been camping out at Wal nut Canyon for the past week or two and last Sunday was caught in the act of demolishing some of the ancient cave dwellings there. From general appearances this kind of work had been carried on on an extensive scale. and 1t was deemed advisable to put stop to it if possible. Under Sheriff Fairchild served the warrant of arrest and O'Toole had his examlnation before Justice Wilcox Tuesday. The prisoner had in his possession big and valuable collection of Indian relics found Tn the caves. This collection was confiacated by the court and will be turned over to the government. After 8 severe re- primand and 9 prospect of dire punish ment if caught in the act agaln, O'Toole was discharged from custody.-Flag- staff Sun Democrat.

CAT REST,D
Funeral Of pr. s. M. Craig Last
 Friday Afternoon.


 Friday Afternoon.
 As noted last week. Dr. s. NJ. Craig, of this place, died suddenly on Wednes- day evening, the Fist inst, while his family were absent in the mountains. A messenger having been sent for them @ few hours before hls death, they were an1iously awaited all day Friday. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon they arrived. having been on theroad all the time since receiving the word that the Doctor was dangerously sick.
 The party. consisting of Mrs. Craig and children, Mrs. Carrie D. Duffey, 8 sister of pr. Craig, and MT. and Mrs. Ben Schuste.. were driven to the resi- dence of the latter. The hour of the funeral had in the meantime been set o'clock in the same afternoon. After a short rest, the relatives were driven to the Doctors late residence, where they took 8 sad and fearful leave of all that remained of him.
 1 lThe funeral procession was then formed, headed by the St. Johns band, with Company K., First regiment. N. G. A., of which the deceased at the time of his death WAS second ieuten- ant, as escort, After which the coffin, draped with the national flag, was borne by the pallbearers, consisting of St. George Creaghe, Captain John T. Hogue, W. H. Gibbons, J. B. Patter- son, Antonio Gonzales and Alfred Ruiz. The mourning relatives, friends and all the citizens of ;he town then followed.
 The cortege marched to the Armory, where g short cut appropriate service was held, w. H. Gibbons, Esq. acted as chaplain, and Major H. J. Platt de- livered short and appropriate address for the occasion. 4 choir, composed of Miss Annie Creaghe. St. Geo. Creaghe and J. H. Gallupe, sang that grand old hymn, "Nearer. My God. to Thee" The singing of this hymn by Miss Creaghe and her assistants was grandly executed. The closing prayer was then pronounced by the chaplain.
 After the services were ended, the funeral cortege was formed in the same order as before, and marched toward the cemetery. the band playing "The Dead March in Saul"
 Upon arriving at the cemetery, the exerclses were under the direction of Captain Walter G. Scott, comma anding K. company. The beautiful and inn pressive service ofthe Episcopal church was read by the commanding officer. The company then fired the three sa- lutes over the grave the trumpeter stepped to the front and sounded taps, and the last honors had been done for the dead soldier.
 By the death of Dr. Craig his family suffers the loss of loving husband, and kind and indulgent father. Ills death, to thIs community, is almost Q public calamity, and we can now real ize how much he entered into the lives of our people. He stood we'll among the ranks of his chosen profession, and was public-spirited citizen. His friends and neIghbors testified their appreciation of him by attending the funeral en masse, there being hardly anybody left in town after the funeral procession had crossed the river on the way to the cemetery. And this. in spite of the fact that Q considerable rain had fallen and the afternoon con- tlnued threatening.

Charles Myers, one of the lucky gold hunters of the Yukon, writes from San Francisco to his friend and former part ner in this city, John A. Webb, that he will arrive here by next Monday to re- main but few days. He states also that he desires Mir. Webb to settle up his business affairs here and accompany him to the Yukon gold fields at once and before navigation is closed and the winter storms blockade all routes to Dawson. MT. Myers corroborates all reports sent out, and states further that the new field in it's yellow wealth not only covers an extensive area, but is fabulously rich, and thatitis beyond the comprehension of any man not on the scene to realize the vast sums that have been taken out in so short time and with comparatively but little labor.

Where Fishing is Good.
Yuma Sun


 The farmers of Colorado Valley in. form us that this week the ditches oi the Granger's Canal have been literal. ly swarming with fish of all the varlt. ties which inhabit the Colorado River; white fish, carp, humpbacks and others. They came down by the hundreds, m any of them weighing as much as ten or twelve pounds, and many as were de- sired were caught. Those ditches in which the water is no longer running contain countless dead ones.
 It is not an unusual sight to see f sh or two in the canal, but it is not often there is such an influx as the one this week, which glutted the market and closed several Indian peddlers out oi the business.
