GETTING IN on THE GROUN .
FLOOR.-A Bienkowslzi. a late resi-
dent of Yuma, is now on his way to
the Isthmus to be present when th.
digging of the Nicarag qua canal begins.
Before he left Yuma he expressed a
hope that he might be of some assist
ance in that undertaking. If. Mr.. Bicn-
kowski's name were dragged across the
isthmus few times the ships might
sail through and the problem of exca-
walton would be solved. During his
short life Mr.. Bienkowski has run after
eleven big international excitements,
but has always arrived too late for
successful action. 1t is believed he will
reach Nicaragua in good time.

JOHN TWENTYMAN'S BURIAL
The funeral of John Twentyman, the
old man who committed suicide at the
Anheuser saloon last Friday, took
place yesterday afternoon. 1t was not
as elaborate as some funerals in Phoe-
nix have been and what is called the
cortege in more pretentious obsequies
was not as long. but there were some
mourners and followers to the grave
They were old men who had known
Twentyman for years and some of
them had led the same kind of life
and foresaw in his end what their OWE
would likely be. One man who had
worked only that he might drink said
yesterday afternoon that though it was
pretty late in the day he believed that
he would start on the new year sober
and would keep himself so.
