I Against l.. G. Hondlcy.
 | In the city court yesterday morning
 the cases against Samuel G. Parker and his wife, Georgie I. Parker, were agaln
 up for trial and the taking of testimony 1 ill the cases was continued.
 1 The incident of the days trial of the | case was motion made by David E. | Fitzgerald, counsel for Mrs. Parker | that she be discharged on all the counts
 of forgery but two on the ground that | there was no evidence to show that st1e l had had anything to do with the forger- ies except her alleged statements made | just prior to and after her arrest. He claimed that the statements were made by her in the hope of shielding her nus band in the metter, che thinking that if she took all the blame in the cases on
 herself her folks would intercede in her behalf.
 This step by MT. Fitzgerald indicates that the woman has abandoned her
 original idea of trying to shield her hus- band by declaring, as she did at first, that she committed the forgeries, trust ing to the influence she had with her family to protect them both when the
 cases finally came to trial. Now she IS simply trying to save herself by endeaV- bring to make the charges against her self as light as possible.
 Mrs. Parker was called to the stand by her husbands counsel. She said: T knew nothing about the forgeries till my husband came from New York last January. I had nothing to do With utterng the forgeres. I have made. some statements admitting that l sign ed the forged orders. I did so because the suspicion of the thing was on my husband and thought could save him. I thought I had influence enough with my people to protect him in case trouble should come"
 Coming to the stolen Fineout deeds on which Parker raised $500. the witness said she had known Fineout for years. He was friand of the family. She claimed to know nothing about the Fineout matter. Her people cast sus- picion upon them (the Parkers), the

witness added, with many shrugs of the shoulders, because there wasn't any one else to throw suspicion on.

THEY GOT THE SCENT.

How an Oshkosh CWis.) Miser Rewarded the Good Little Boys.
 There is miserly old lady living n Oshkosh, says the Times of that city, who, it is believed, judging from cir cumstances, has chests and chests of gold secreted in her house somewhere. She is so penurious and hates to part with her money so bad, that when she is compelled from absolute necessity to buy the necessaries of life she walks to tEe store farthest from her house so tat she can keep in her possession the money that must be spent for food a little longer, and pays for her purchase with more reluctance than Isaac of York could command while parting with his gold.
 It is told of this old lady that one day, while counting over some money, a fve-cent piece dropped in a big wood" box filled with wood shavings, etc. She searched for an hour in vain, and was almost distracted by the loss, when a bright thought struck her. She would have a couple of little boys, who were playing near the house, seek it. Ac- cordingly she called them in and told them that if they would find the money which had dropped in the wood-box she would give them each cent. The youngsters, eager to earn the price of stick of candy, went willingly to work, and after hunting for about two hours gave a howl of delight when they dis covered the missing coin.
 The old woman eagerly snatched it from them and, after carefully deposit ing it in her pocket-book, called them dear little children and said they well earned their reward. She then went into another room, brought out a bottle that had once been filled with perfume, and gave each one of the boys a scent of the lingering Odor, after which she called them dear little dar- lings again and told them to run away now and play. The little fellows were so overwhelmed with gratitude at the | old lady's munifcence that they kindly thanked her in their abstraction.

Official Paper of Yuma County
\ CHANGE OF DATE.

For years the Sentinel has greet ed the residents of Yuma every Sat urday with its burden of local hap penings. but beginning with this issue the Sta,wart old journal will each Wednesday bring you the news of Yuma and Yuma County. It will in the future, as in the past, weep when you are sad, laugh when you are glad; and rejoice when all Yuma is prosperous as now. The Sentinel has always stood for pro eress and advancement; has always advocated those principles which stand for American institutions and American superiorority and it will continue 10 advocate local as well as national expansion. The change of date is made for the reason that we believe the Sentinel can give its readers better service by being lssu- ed on Wednesday, inasmuh as the dates of issue of the two local papers will be separated, giving the people two papers during the week instead of one as heretofore. With these few remarks you may look for the Sentinel every Wednesday.

The "Fau.t Finder " in the Re- publican says the young man who got up the arbor day bill must have been a lifelong resident of Yuma unfamiliar with the geography Of Arizona, and unaware of its mag nifcent distances and wonderful diversity of climate. Trees may be planted about Yuma and the Salt River early in February. Trees may be set out along the up- per Gila and San Pedro and the Santa Cruz at the same time, but the chances are that they will not grow. They would be about month ahead of the season. Trees could be set cut at Flagstaff aDd Williams on the official arbor day, but the dynamite for the holes in which the trees are to be planted will have to bethawed out and the -planter will have 10 take precau- tions a.alnst frozen fingers and ears
