Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori.

notion that one kind of food is needed
for brain, another for muscles, and still
another for bones. A correct diet will
not only nourish particular part OF
the body, but 1t will sustain every 9TH

may be, its nutriment is destroyed by

TIE water storage committee which has been in session in Phoenix for several weeks past has at last pro- duced an irrigation bill to he sub mitted to the Legislature for passage. It is said to closely follow the Wyem- ing law, which is all right; but if the canal companies, who want to own all the water and air and earth, haven't got in their work it will be wonder. Hence the bill will bear close scrutiny There is one first principle to be ob- served in jast irrigation law-that t land and water are inseparable, and that no man is entitled to more than he can put to fair use.

The Cook Quit His Job.
lFrom the Yuma Sun.l

Joe Boot, the stage robber, partner of the notorious Pearl Hart, Arizona's female bandit, escaped from the Ter ritorial prison last Wednesday evening and has not yet been apprehended, al- though every effort toward his recap ture has been exerted.
 "Boots," with Pearl Hart, was con victed of stage robbery in Pinal county over year ago and was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary. He YVES an exemplary prisoner, always obedi- cut and never giving the management the slightest trouble whatever As reward for good behavior he was made sort of ''trusty" and was employed as cook a. Superintendent Browns residence. For some time he had per- formed his duties we'll, always report ing promptly at the prison gate for ad- mittance after his work was done, and MT. Brown had not entertained the slightest fear of his escape. In his ex- traordinary behavior since his impris- onment, the willy "Boots," however, was employing far better judgment than he had exhibited previous to that time, for he was wisely laying the foundation for a successful escape. After dinner had been served at the
 
 evening, Boots" placed the kitchen and dining room in order and then threw up his job, without giving the usual notice of a dissatisfied servant, and left, presumably in search of a more congenial situation. His absence was discovered in short time, but his whereabouts have not yet been learned.

4 TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
II. H. Alexander Shoots and Kills Mrs. ].
 J. Burns. of Somerton.
LFron, the Yuma Snn.l

From the Yuma Sun.l
 As result of E dispute over the pos session of a tract of land in the Colo rado valley, near Somerton, about nine miles below Yuma, Constable H. H. Alexander shot and killed Mrs. J. J. Burns, yesterday morning about ten o'clock.
 The story of the killing, gleaned from the evidence brought out at the coroner's inquest, is as follows;
 For some time past Mir. J. J. Burns, husband of the dead woman, and F. B.. Miller have been ouarreling over the possession of certain tract of land on which MT. Burns resided, but which Mir. Miller claimed by purchase from for mer claimant. Mir. Miller had engaged the services of Constable Alexander in ejeeting the Burns family from the premises. An attempt was made on Wednesday to force Mr. and Mrs. Burns to vacate the premises, but they re- fused to do so. Early yesterday morn ing MT. Burns came to Yuma for the purpose of consulting his attorney in the matter, and during his absence AL exander and Miller, accompanied by Wm. Fain, called at the Burns ranch again for the purpose of compelling the occupants to vacate. When the men arrived Mrs. Burns was some dis tance from the honse, and had evi- dently anticipated trouble, as she had a Winchester rifle in her hands. Alexan- der told the other men to remain where they were and he would go over and settle the difficulty with Mrs. Burns. He rode up to within few feet of the lady and alighted from his horse. A quarrel ensued, during which Alexan- der became enraged, and taking a double oarreled shotgun from scab- bard on his saddle, deliberately fired both barrels at Mrs. Burns, the shot NdAAAS SACCs III tuc dOdOlucu- 4uc constable and companions then rode away. A messenger was sent to Yuma to inform Mr. Burns of the terribl e tragedy. Upon receipt of the infor- nation Mir. Burns left immediately for the scene of the trouble.
 Wild rumors of more trouble were current on the streets last evening, and the general feeling was very bit ter against those implicated in the killing. About s o'clock last night, however, Alexander came to town and gave himself up to Constable McPhaul and was placed, at his own request, in the Territorial prison for safe keeping Warrants were issued last evening for the arrest of Miller and Fain. Both men were placed under arrest and are now being detained at the Sheriff $ office pending preliminary examina tioD, which was postponed until to-mor, row on account of to-day being legal holiday
 1 Mrs. Burns was about thirty years of age and had resided in the valley with her husband for the past three years. She leaves, besides her hus. band aud four small children, father Mir. s. Il. King, two brothers and tws sisters to mourn her loss. The funera took place this afternoon and was one of the saddest events ever witnessed in Yuma county.

TIE Indian appropriation bill is still in conference committee. The Senate sonferees are Messrs. Thurston of Ne braska, Jones of Arkansas and Platt of Connecticut. The two latter were originally opposed to the San Carlos amendment appropriating $l0O,0O0 for preliminary work on the dam, but a dispatch received Wednesday from Delegate Wilson announces that Sena- tor Jones would no longer oppose the appropria tion, so there is fair chance for the amendment remaining in the bill.

sparingly They have great penchant for
wading, but little or no enthusiasm for
bathing. To see large numbers of women
padding about in short skirts and naked
feet in not more than half foot of water,
is common. 1t is common in two senses,
and the exposure which girls of twelve and
thirteen are allowed to make of themselves
in the pursuit of this padding and wading
craze is almost shocking. Yet these Eng
lish cousins of ours have until recently
looked upon the mixed bathing which
forms so striking and pleasing a feature
of American watering places the
Of all wickedness.
Upon this point, however, they are under
going a gradual change of heart. Slowly
but surely America is making conquest
OF this staid old country. We have already
got the supremacy in their markets, and
have begun the revolution Of their drug
stores with our soda fountains. In London,
as everybody knows, the railways have
been Americanized, and now the very latest
American invasion is by water, In the form
of mixed bathing. But, oh. how very slow
~ this last innovation is coming into vogue.
The watering places generally act toward
it at present about as unselfishly as the
boy did in reference TO his medicine. If it
was indeed so good as everybody said it
was why didn't they all take 1.-THE
shouldn't mind, so they excused him. There
are, to be sure, a few resorts where mixed
bathing is allowed to the extent of fam
lilies and family parties going in together,
but such scenes of picturesque liveliness as
are common at all seaside resorts in Amer
ica-men, women and children battling the
waters together-all daintily CARRIED and all
seeming to find in this free and innocent
intercourse of the sexes the very ozone of
exhilaration-such scenes you could not find
at any watering place in all this sea-girt
island.
NOT A QUESTION OF MORALS.
The English antipathy TO mixed bathing
can hardly at bottom be a question of
morals There is more public indecency in
England than in any country except
France. The streets OF London are haunted
at all hours by the scarlet woman. and she
is a feature more than tolerated at all re-
sorts Though. leaving out this fact, the
English are by no means squeamish peo-
pie in their ordinary intercourse. 1t has
been aptly said that the English woman's
evening dress outstrips the whole of Eu-
rope. and of 'Arriet and AIRY. representa-
tives of the engaged couples of the working
class it Is proverbial that they can do their
counting and exchange the usual tokens of
