 The appointment of R s. Hatch as Undersheriff meets with general ap- proval. MT. Hatch's experience and capabilities as an officer will make him valuable man around the court house. Dr. Cotter was permitted by the board of supervisors to transfer his contract as county physician to Dr. G. w. Greenleaf.

The City Election.

Much more interest was manifest in the municipal election last Tuesday than for many years. The contest for the mayorslty was single-handed but four candidates were in the field for the two vacant places in the council The marshalship was also well con- tested, there being few candidates for the position. The new interest taken in the affairs of Yuma is encouraging and the result of the election places the municipal management in the hands of capable and energetic men.
 The official count of the vote result" ed as follows: For mayor J H. Shans- sey 122. For councilmen, o. H. Willis, 1O6; Ben c. Heyl, S1; Robert Tapia, Fl; J. E. Dallas 29. For marshal, Geo U. Wilder, 1l0; Ben F. Hartlee, 37; Pete Burke, 9; James Kenney, 6. For the offices of treasurer and assessor no candidates appeared on the official ballot, It being necessary for the voter to write the name of his individual candidate. The result was almost every business man in town got a vcte or two for one or the other of posi- tions. The official count should tie for the office Of assessor, no enc getting more than one vote. Althee Modesti was elected treasurer by majority of one.

 An important suit involving the validity of county bonds in Arizona was decided in the supreme court last Tuesday. The case validates $289,964 worth Of bonds issued by Pima county in aid of the Arizona Narrow Gauge railroad. It was based upon a peti- tion for a mandamus upon the govern nor and other territorial officers to compel them to issue bonds in lieu of of those originally issued in 1883. The supreme court of Arizona denied this petition, but the opinion of the federal supreme court handed down by Judge Brown reverses this decision and re- mands the case for further proceedings in compliance win the original peti- ton. The opinIon of the court is based upon the authority of the con- gress of June 6, 1896.
