The arrest of Kerrick and Cameron, the
horse thieves, furnished some interesting
Incidents. They wer taken into custody
by posse consisting of William Despair,
A. Moline, deputy sheriff OF Yuma, and
j. Martinez. The posse came up with the
outlaws at Bates Wells, in the southwestern
part of Pima county, about fifteen miles
from the Mexican line. The fugitives were
camping in a stout corral surrounded by an
earthen embankment, and were asleep. The
noise of the horses hoofs awakened the
sleepers, and they started up to fight, but
for some reason weakened and surrendered
without shot. Behind the corral and EN-.
bankment they could have made a stubborn
resistance. Several Papago Indians were
also encamped at the wells, but detected the
approach of the posse. For some cause
they manifested great alarm, and gathering
together their effects and ponies, made a
hurried departure and got away before
the posse arrived. Kerrick and Cameron
could also have made their escape if they
had been on better guard, for the horses of
the posse were jaded ard their own were
rested and fresh The settlers at Aguas
Calientes are pleased to be rid of the thieves

After posponement from two different
canal was held on the I'd of this month J.
Mcmillan the receiver, sold the property to
j. B. Greenhut of Peoria, H., through his
representative, John S. Stevens. Mr..
Stevens was the only bidder present and
bought the property for the amount of the
preferred debts $4,000, and assumed the
receivers certificates to the amount of
$l20,00O, now outstanding against the prop
erty and lien upon it. This property,
which originally cost about a million, has
been in the hands of Receiver Mcmillan for
about five years, and during that time has
been somewhat improved, although about
four years ago the dam at Gila was almost
entirely destroyed by big food. The new
owner and his associates will undoubtedly
go ahead and complete the enterprise, put
in new headgate and dam, remove the |
sand from the canal and get this great irri-
eating enterprise into operation. When
the canal really commences to supply water
and is in good physical and financial shape,
so settlers can gather confidence in investing
in land and water under this big ditch Gila |
Bend will become a thriving town, and the |
country around it prosperous agricultural
country. 1t is thought that the new dam to
be built will be located at a point on the
river a few miles further up than where the
old dam was situated.
