 Hartford, Jan 16.-Yale defeated Trinity last night by score of 26 to 6 in basket ball game for the coIlegi- ate championship of the state. The game in the first half was close, but in the second half Yale's team work and fast passes proved too much for the Hartford boys and she scored al- most at will. Clarke and Sharpe play ed fine ball for Yale, as did Glenney. for Trinity.

JIM CORBETT's JOCKEY.

As the result of q bogus advertise ment for jockeys more than POO boys, both black and white, took Jim Cor betts saloon by storm last night and said they wanted jobs.t The name of Frank Phillips, the manager of the sa- loon, wa% signed to the advertisement. He told the boys that it was a joke on him, but that didn't satisfy the ap- plicants, so policemen were called in to clear out the boys and make room for people with money to spend.

DAN STuART,S PLAN.

Dan Stuart's plan to pull off a bat tie at Carson City between Jim Jef- fries and Bob Fitzsimmons in the spring, provided Jeffries whips Ruh- lin, is not stirring up much enthusi- asm. From the tenor of the general conversation Stuart's proposed fistic carnival will be a fiat failure ill q financial sense. The most ardent fight fan. even if he had nothing else to do with his time and money, would not journey 4,00O miles to the mountains to see any mill that might be framed up If Stuart goes through with his plans. which is extremely doubtful, he will have to depend on the Nebraska visitors and a few sports from Frisco for box office patronage. It is safe to predict that none of those ill this part of the country who made the tire some trip to Carson four years ago next St Patrick's day to see FitA bump Corbett in the solar plexus will repeat the journey, even with such an attrac- tion on the bill as a second meeting between "Red-Top' Bob and Bradys hOilermaker.

ANOTHER NEGRO FIGHTER.

Rufe Turner. negro lightweight, who has just emerged from California, must be fairly good performer, for he disposed of Otto Sieloff ill jig time. True. Sieloff had nothing to commend him except strength, but Turner did his work very cleverly. The battle took place in Denver, and the Chicago boxer was no match for the colored Californian. Sielof Was hoored in the first round, and right half swing to the jaw in the fourth as he was duck ing away gave him his quietus. Sic loff's rushing and clinching were of no avail. and he failed to land even one telling blow during the bout. The col ored man was as fresh as daisy at the finish.

A Heavy Rainfall.

Beginning last Saturday morning and excepting short intervals of cessa- tion, continuing all day and through out the night and Sunday, more water fell in Yuma and vicinity than has be- fore been experienced within the knowledge of the oldest citizens, many of whom have lived here more than thirty years.
 The lower part of the city (the Rin- con district as inundated Saturday night and caused much trouble to the residents, nearly all being compelled to move cut" There was considerable damage to household goods, but not withstanding most of the houses in that section are of the adobe variety, only enc of them collapsed-the house owned and occupied by Dan O'Hearn and fam ily. Mayor ShGnssey with his usual promptness had large force Of men in the Rincon district digging a drainage ditch to the Colorado river on Sunday morning. Superintendent Brown promptly sent a force of prisoners to assist the mayor, and by s o'clock Sun day evening most of the water had dis appeared and people were enabled to move into their homes again, though they must have had 8 damp and disa- greeable night of it.
 Rainfall has been very heavy along the Southern Pacific clear to Les An geles, and west-bound passengers were delayed in Yuma thirty-siX hours. The first train got cut Monday night. No heavy damage is reported except in the numerous washouts along the line.
 The rainstOrm extended sixty or sev- enty miles east, but no serious wash outs were reported from that direction.
 There has been some uneasinesS on the part of the people through fear of a repetition of the flood of February T, 1891. The town is now, however, pro- tected to some extent by levee along the Gila, built by the government some eight years ago: this levee has never been tested, and is said to have some weak places. Just what prCtec- tion it would afford with the conditions prevailing as in '91 is an unknown quantity-but it is not at all unlikely that it may soon be put to the test
 At all events, the Colorado bottoms are pretty certain to be overfOwed with damaging results, possibly as early as May at least this is the prediction Of some of the Old-timers.

AN AWFUL TRAGEDY.
Dispute Over Land Results in Killing
 Of Mrs. Burns.

Mrs. J. J. Burns, living near Somer- ton. nine miles south of Yuma. was shot and killed by Constable NJ. T. Alexan- der last Thursday morning about ten o'clock. The tragedy was the outcome of a dispute over the claim occupied by Mrs. Burns and her husband.
 It seems that F. B. Miller. who claimed the place, went to the ranch accompanied by Constable Alexander and Wm. Fame, and as the men ap- preached Mrs. Burns appeared, some distance from the house with Win chester in her hands. evidently antici- pating trouble. The three men stop ped and Constable Alexander told Fane and Miller to remain where they were and he would 90 over and talk to Mrs. Burns alone. which he proceeded to do. Alexander and the woman cOnversed a few moments when the constable drew his gun and fired, the charge en- tering the breast of Mrs. Burns, who l6l1 dIU lultHGGldbtlN AI'il CO' AHA ander came in about o'clock in the evening and gave himself up to the sheriff and has since been confined in the territorial prison. Miller and Fame are also iu the custody of the sheriff.
 Miller and the Burns family had been disputing over the ranch fer some time, Miller trying to get possession of the place, which he claims by right of pur- chase, we understand, from former occupant.
 The funeral of Mrs. Burns took place Friday afternoon and was a sad event.
 Frank and Sam King, brothers of the dead woman, arrived from Tucson to- day to be present at the examination.
 This is a terrible affair, and has ere ated a very bitter feeling and much excitement. Alexander's preliminary trial will be held Friday of this week, pending which and on account of the many cOnfiictingIrumOrs, the SENTINEL refrains from comment.

INDIAN SCHOOL NOTES.
FORT YUMA, Feb. B. 1901.

Mrs. J. s. Spear, who for the past week CT more has been seriously ill, is now reported as cOnvalescing.
 s. K. Baker, the newly appointed government shoe and harness maker, successor to JnO. Wilmington, arrived Saturday morning Irom his home in Edmund, O. T. Despite the heavy rain. welcoming reception by the em- ployes was rendered him at the recep- tion room of the girls new home. The happy event was most gracefully pre- sided over by the matrOn, who at the conclusion of the evenings entertain ment served light refreshments of cOf- fee. cake and nuts. The guest of honor expressed himself as almost overcome with U. s. I. D. hospitality and when astonishment was expressed by the webfOoted OregOnian that an OklahO- milan was able to make his appearance in such & storm, assured her that nCth- ing save Kansan Carry-A-Nation or an Oklahoma cyclone could restrain him from attending such pleasurable party.
 Miss RansOn, the primary teacher, concluded g series of parties given the little tots in her room by the one given Wednesday evening in the employees parlor. The most enjoyable feature of the evening was the blindfOld contest of adjusting the caudal appendage to an Arizona mOcking bird. Stuart Shel- don was the successful prize winner.
 The violent rain storm of Sunday de- molished the old adobe building that has served as bath and clothes room at the boys quarters. Fortunately there was no one inside when the building collapsed, and now since it has been re moved by natural agencies the erection of new and more cOmmOdiOus build ing will be at once begun. The mate rial is already upon the ground and the carpenter with his detail of boys will begin work at once.
 There is quite a contingent of ladies from the school who expect to partici- pate in the character social given by the c. E. at the NJ. E. parsonage Thursday evening. Pretty. Cinderella will be expecting to meet the prince, and demure Pricella looking for John. A dignifed 18th century dame will see that they are properly chaperoned. A Fort Yuma school girl will make her debut and beam dusky smile upon civilized society for the first time, while composite barbarian of the West with war club and flirting flute will protect them from the hOstilities of civilization.

EducafiOn in Porto RicS

The expense of maintaining schools in Porto Rico is very high, if we con sider the amount spent for the small number of pupils enrolled; but as that country is gradually brought in closer touch with our own, their system will evidently be changed until it reaches our present state of perfection. In this country the people are being edu- cated to the fact that there is @ sure cure for dyspepsia, indigestion, consti- patton. liver and kidney troubles, and that medicine is HOstetter's Stomach Bitters. It should be taken at the first symptom if you would avoid unnecessa- ny suffering. It will give prompt re lief and eventually cure, as hundreds of people, including many prominent phy- sicians have testified during the past fifty years.

Colonel Brooks is said to have reli6v- ed more distress in the flooded district Saturday night and Sunday than any two other men in town. The Colonel is large-framed, powerful man and has @ big heart which always thrObs in sympathy with poor people in trouble. All who know him will attest to this fact. The colonel took especial care of the widows and orphans who were driven from their homes by the inun- dating water, and carried many of them out bodily to high ground and furnished many of them shelter and safety at his own domicil. Col Brooks gallantry was never more thoroughly demonstrated and his kindness of heart will not soon if ever be forgotten by those he assisted.

Tie Yuma literary Societv.

The Yuma Literary Society met at the M. E. church on last Monday even- ing, the time of meeting having been again changed to once d week instead of once a fortnight.
 Owing to the willful negligence upon the part of the reporter, the members were not notified, through the press, of the subject for discussion. Impromptu affairs are u4ually a success and this proved no exception to the rule.
 When the question, ''Resolved that the attitude of the English government toward the South African Republic is wrong,' was announced, the speakers were almost clamOrous in their efforts to gain recognition and give vent to their superabundant orat0ry. So per sistent were they to be heard it was with difficulty judges could be secured in fact, they had to be abbreviated from the usual three to enc.
 W. F. TimmCns (whO had sufficiently recovered from his imaginary attack Of hydrOphobia as to be present ] val liantly led the affirmative, followed by Mesdames Crouch and Bowman, Messrs. Foster and Hogwood and Miss Sherman.
 Rev. Crouch ably championed the negative. and was supported by Mes danes Timmons, Hicks and Bailey and Messrs Day and Shorey. After a lengthy and brilliant display of patri- otism, p2thOs, poetry, humor, logic. sarcasm and statistics, the enc lone judge was so completely overwhelmed that it was considered advisable to postpone the debate until the next meeting, when it would be again de- bated with added endorsements and a more exhaustive store Of ammunition (informption. This was considered most Cpportune inasmuch as all present did not get to speak the desired length Of time, the hour being late. Adjourn ment was made until Monday night, Feb. IS. at 7:30.
 Judging from the sentiments so fore ibly expressed on the subject at the last meeting, it would be extremely doubtful if Dutchman or an English man dare venture inside the doors, much less enter the arena. So thor oughly capable does the average American feel of settling this import ant conflict that in all probability after the verdict is rendered at the final con- clusion of the debate, Monday night, a dispatch will be immediately cabled to his Royal Highness King Edward VII. and President Paul Kruger and the difficulty will be adjusted without fur ther delay.
