 The four American convicts, Kelly O'Neill, Mcdonald and Cherokee Bill, J who escaped from the territorial peni- tentiary recently, seem to have jumped from the frying pan into the fire. A Mexican line rider was in Yuma last week and stated that the convictS had been captured and forced into the Mex ican army, where they will probably remain as long as they are able to carry a gun. As they are fugitives from justice, they have no rights that any country is compelled to recognize and the only thing they can do is tC take their medicine like little men They cannot desert from the Mexican army as easily as they escaped from the canal camp. They will also find that the prison ''snake den" is a paradise compared with the mode of punish Ment inflicted on unruly volunteer soldiers in the Mexican army.
 It is almost certain that a secret movement is on foot among several oi Tuma's property holders to defeat the election for bonds to build a new school house. It is reasonably certain that their misguided efforts to retart the development of Yuma and the up building of her educational system vii fail, for Yuma is on the upward move and those who cling to the penny wis and pound foolish policy will fin' themselves far in the rear when tn position to which our town is entitled and to which she is rapidly growing nas been attained. Once already tn taxpayers and citizens have said tha they wanted to place no obstacle in tn way of the education of the district young, but an unfortunate mistak made it necessary to say so again. Tn required expression will be forthcom ing, and Yuma will rise triumphant despite the untimely efforts of he p,onied retarders.-Yuma Sun.
