DESTINED FOR YUMA
The Sentencing of Convicted Defend
 ants Yesterday.

Alexander Hale, the forger, was yes terday sentenced to ten years at Yuma. Manuel Beltran, who had been convict ed of an outrageous assault on a little Mexican girl near Tempe, got four years, and William Ewing, an Indian. who had been convicted of the theft Of a certificate of deposit from Andrew Rendon, was sentenced for the same period. A motion for arrest of judg- ment in the case was overruled. Thase convicts were taken to the territorial prison last night.
 f1dleS s wire, a young and handsome Spanish woman, who had been arrest ed with him, suspected of compHcity in the crime, but discharged on prelimi- nary examination, has been a daily visitor to the jail ever since Her fla ther, who is employed at the Fortuna mine, came to take her home, but she refused to leave. Now she is going to Yuma, where she says she will re- main until Hale is again free.
 Hale has kept the sheriff's officers on the alert ever since his arrest with his numerous machinations for break ing out of jail and unless equal vigil lance is exercised at the penitentiary, he will never serve out his full time.
 Max Czuczl1a, formerly confidential clerk at the New York store, on trial for enlbezzlement, was acquitted. When the prosecution rested, the de- fense moved for an acquittal on the ground that the crime charged in the indictment had not been proved. The indictment was properly drawn on the information which was laid before the district attorney that the defendant had embezzled cash or money amount ing to $5G.S0. It was shown thalu the sum which he accounted for was made up of checks. The difference was fla tai. The court accordingly instructed the jury to bring in a verdict of ac- quittal. In the case of Juan Robles, charged with horse-stealing, whose trial ended in a disagreement, the dis trict attorney moved a dismissal. It would have been necessary, in order to try the case again, to call for a ven ire of fifty, which would have cost the county not less than $50, consider ably more than Robles and the horse which he is alleged to have stolen, are worth.
 Judgment was given the plaintiT in the case of the s. F. P. and P. vs. .'the city, an action from the recorders court, in which the city has sought to collect taxes from the company in con of the exemption act
 In the matter of Charles w. Wart- man vs. J. E. Williams, a motion to dissolve an attachment was submitted
 The district attorney moved the d-s- missal of a charge of aggravated as sault against Professor F. c. Bunch, principal of the West End school, for the reason that the evidence for the territory was not sufficient to convict.
 The prosecution was begun on ac- count of whipping which the defend- ant had administered to a refractory pupil.
 The divorce suit of Emma Le Cyr vs. Joseph Le Cyr was set for November 24 In the case of BOndurant vs. Bel cat, from a justice court, a motion to dismiss the appeal was argued and taken under advisement.

 These committees will be divided dur ing tre carnival season into daily watches, taking their turn at helping to make pleasant to sojourners in our city the days during that occasion. h. asmuch as this committee is intended to be a working committee and not for pure ornament only, no lady or gentleman has been put on this com mittee who has other duties in the car nival or any connection with other subcommittee in the carnival. With this fact in view, all those names in the above list should promptly accept in writing to the executive committee and take an earnest and thorough part in the carnival.
 Invitations have been sent out by the director general to the governor of Sonora and other nrnn1linant Offipia Is and business men of that state. The executive committee has in view a formation of commissioners to repre- sent the carnival in different cities of Arizona. There may be a number willing to aid the affair in this way. or who can suggest the name of some one adapted for this purpose, and if so, they should write to Director General Lewis at once, signifying the same.

PLEASURE DANCE
How the Apaches Enjoy Themselves
 on the Reservation.

The Whiteriver correspondent of the Holbncok Argus gives an interesting account of an Apache pleasure dance which was given at Whiteriver in Ma vajo county rec ntly. The correspond ent says:
 The Indian pleasure dance" given here last Monday under the able dfrec- ton of Antonio Apache was a grand success. About 5C0 Ir5tans Were pres ent and participated in the exercises, which were varied and intensely inter esting. The first number on the pro gramme was a grand jump as high as you can" dance, followed by others of the same nature, to the ragtim2 music of the ftom-ton" orchestra. The dress of the gentlemen seems to have been sadly neglected, most Of them aD- bearing with Cnly a "G" string. The ladies looked refreshing and fair in their Homemade gowns of red calico itrimmed with point lace de burlap'' and their faces decorated with a liber- al coat of fresh barn paint. A general good time was had by everybody. Much credit is due MT. Apache for the eff cient manner in wTich the novel enter tainment was managed. MT. Apache generously defrayed all eXperEIs. there by proving himself a bsnsfad.o.' of worth.

Kansas and states as far distant as Nebraska and the Dakotas are called on each win ter to supply Chicago with hundreds of tons of turkeys for the holiday trade. In view Of the plentiful supply this year, it is expected that prices will range from 10 to 12 cents per pound, with extra fancy stock bringing a lit tie more.

Denver, Nov. 1.-The movement to reinstate capital punishment in the statutes has received a great impetus from the outrage and murder of Louise Frost, and the subsequent lynching of her murderer. A bill with this ob- ject in view is now being drafted and will be presented at the coming ses- sion of the legislature.
 No steps have been taken to prose cute any of the members of the mob which burned Porter last night, and it Is not likely that any will b. taken. District Attorney McAllister says that such an action would be utterly futile in view of the public approval of the lynching.
