YUMA ARIZONA SATURDAY, OCTOBER
AS THEY COME AND GO.
Tragic Death of an Unfortunate Ex.
 Convict.

More than ten years ago Walter Lewis ran away from home in Boston. He drifted around over the country for number of years and finally, through evil association, was convict ed of burglary in Flagstaff two years ago, and was sent to the Territorial prison in Yuma. In the mean time an old friend and schoolmate of his, through fate or fortune, had also came to Arizona, and is now an honored citizen of Yuma. A few days ago Lewis was given his liberty, and the meeting of the old-time friends, though following widely different walks in life, is recorded in the following narrative.

Man or Dollar, Which?-a new novel by
q newspaper man, sets forth q realistic
conception of what the world will be
when cooperation is substituted for com
petition, and men work together and rise
together instead of each man striving to
climb by mounting upon the shoulders OF
another. A story of a hundred years
hence, with the changes and improve
ments worked out in detail. A most in
teresting narration of what there is / n
store for humanity.
Man or Dollar, which," is not merely
a prophecy of an ideal state. 1t predicts
the first step to be taken in the near fu-
ture toward bringing about real condi-
tons, and this step IS a universal strike
IN which farmers cooperate with laborers
to overthrow the supremacy of the Dollar
and establish the supremacy of Man. The
details of the great strike are wonderfully
interesting, and this is one of those
prophecies that often help to fulfill them
selves. Every friend of the American
Railway Union should read and circulate
it.

pages. By special arrangement with the

they are stale. We don't know where
the fault lies, but wish it could be rem

Our little town is quite lively, trade

like an army with Furnished ~bayonets,
giving the town a very gay appear

Oft have we heard the old saying,
"Go away from home to hear the

vile Bell we find the following account
of the unfortunate causalty at Erath
on the 9th inst, but fail to comprehend
how such a confusion could grow out
of the affair.
''Last week, during a thunder storm
at Erath, Vermilion parish, Joseph
Kibbe was killed by lightning while
sitting in his house. Three hours later
while neighbors were assisting the
family, the house was again struck by
lightning and a Mrs. Gray killed"

The n. & ". Assessment.

On Wednesday the 26th inst, the
Railroad Commissioners for the parish
of Iberia and Vermilion met at the
courthouse in Abbeville, pursuant to
instructions from the auditor. Jos. A.
Provost of Iberia and VIM. 2. Miller. o
Vermilion, were present, as also were
VIM. Owens, representing the |. d v.
railroad. The commissioners failed to
agree, Mr.. Provost holding that 5000
q mile was a fair valuation, while Mr.
Miller claimed that $4,000 should be
the valuation placed upon the property.
We are not informed as to what will
be the effect Of the failure to agree upon
an equitable valuation and think that
it would be well to Gull in an arbitra-
tor in such cases.
