Death of L. G. StanChfie;d.

Yesterday evening a telegram came to Col. T. ". Brooks conveying the surprising information Cf the death of
 Mr. l.. C.. Stanchfield. The message was from L. A. Stanchfeld. a son. who sent another message later asking Gel. Brooks to have the bcdy. upon it's ar rival here, prepared fer shipment to the family, at Spadra. Cal.
 The manner of death was unexplain- ed until Mr. Wiley arrived last night with the remains. It seems that Mr. Stanchfeld and NIr. Wiley left here on Sunday morning last, with team and wagon loaded with supplies, intending to go to the Chuckawala range about 90 miles from Yuma Cn the California side. to do some development work on some rich gold prospects, recently dis covered. Reaching point some thir- ty miles beyond Hedges. and immedi- ately following. some delay and trouble with Cne Of the mules, which had Ealk- Nu' I IlItIN dIOaN0 Ndo CICoSSIi, 6-IlU MI. Wiley. who was walking ahead, hap pened to look back and saw Mir. Stanch- field fall over to one side. apparently limp and unccncious. Wiley immedi- ately stopped the team and gave his at tention to his partner, who Cnly gasped a few times. and then expired. Death is supposed to have resulted from heart trCutle.
 MT. Wiley arrived in Yuma about 9 o'clock last night, having to support the dead man as best he could on the seat beside him. as there was no room to place him in recumbent position in the bed of the wagon, and thus he drove the full distance of 60 miles.
 Col. Brooks. having made the neces- sary arrangements, the body was pre- pared and shipped as directed to the family home this morning.
 The deceased was an cid western pioneer verging cn 60 years of age, when he left Yuma on Sunday morning he was apparently in robust health. and his sudden death was a matter of great surprise to all who knew him. He leaves a wife and eleven children. six of whom are quite young.

Fain Gives Himself Up.

Last Sunday morning W. B. Fame, who escaped from custody the 18th inst. came in of his own accord and surren- dered to Archie Priest. the officer who was guarding him when he got away. We understand that Pains reason fer running away was the fear of personal violence at the hands of the friends of the Burns and King families. On the day Fain escaped Ee was arraigned on the charge of being an accessory to the killing of Mrs. Burns. As he claims to have no guilty knowledge Of or con nectiOn with the murder, he was very much astcnishcd at this charge. as he says he supposed he was simply being detained as a witness in the case.
 Fain says he got tired of being hunt ed and concluded to end it by giving himself up and standing his prelimina- ary examination, the result Of which he says he does not fear. Fain says that when he escaped he went straight for his home and has been hiding in that vicinity ever since. The officers were clcse to him several times but didn't happen to find him. All he had to eat was given him by his own chil- dren, who divided their lunch with their father, passing near his hiding place on the way to school.
 Fain looked considerably "the worse fer the wear" when he showed up Sun day morning, but was evidently much relieved that he was no longer Q fugitive.

In the Dover Index of this week there
appears editorially an article which
charges that State Treasurer Martin b.
Burris was Withholding the school
funds Of the State illegally, thus Grip
pling many scho,s in the lower part of
the State, the subject being taken up
in This city because the Wilmington
schools have not received their portion
of the State fund.
When seen this morning Martln b.
Burris, State Treasurer. said that he Is
simply carrying out the law on the
subject, as no other course OF action Is
open for him. He would like to pay the
money at once, but under the proVi-
sions of the act it was impossible TO nc
so. JHe was under bond, Mr.. Burrls
said. and the probabilities are that
should he attempt to Overstep his au-
thority. his bondsmen would object.

ieot, " he said, for the benefit of thost

is any plausible way to avoid the pres
