Col. Griffith Appointed.

AS foretold in the Sentinel last week, Governor Brodie On Monday appointed Col. William H. Griffith, territorial prison superintendent, and he will take charge Monday, September 1St. As yet no appointment has been made of assistant superintendent, and as this office is appointed by the board of con trol, some little time may elapse before the official announcement will be made. The secretary is also appointed by the board of control, and the appointment seems to be conceded to Walter Greg ory.
 Col. Griffith served as United States Mal shal for this territory during Me Kinley's first administration, and since retiring from the office he has been en- gagged in mining enterprises. His ap- pointment as prison uperintendent is generally conceded good one.
 Speaking of the retirement of Mir. Brown the Phoenix Republican says: 'The management of the penitentiary has been careful and economical under the administration of Herbert Brown, the present superintendent, and the institution is probably in better shape than it has ever been before. It is understood that Mr. Brown will not leave Yuma at the end of his term of office. but will take charge of the Hotel Gandolfo. MT. Brown has been at the head of the penitentiary about four years. lie was appointed by Governor Murphy about the time he succeeded Governor McCord.

Boy Killed by the Cars.

An Indian boy known as Jimmie Jeager, aged about IA years, was run over and killed by an east-bound freight train yesterday morning about 10 o'clock in the cut just south of the $. P. hotel. The lower part of the body and the lower limbs were fright fully mengled, the wheels passing over the body near the hips. Coroner Rieff was at the scene very soon after the ac- cident, and from the crowd which had collected empaneled d jury. who viewed the body and then went to Judge Rieff's s office, where all the evidence Obtaina- ble was taken. It appeared that there was only one witness to the accident white boy named George Butterfeld. He said that the Indian boy had appa- rently got on the bumpers between two cars and was trying to get through and drop off on the other side of the track, when he slipped and fell; he was struck by an oil box and knocked under the wheels. The verdict holds TO one re- sponsible for the boys death, as it was clearly his own fault. The remains were taken charge of by the dead boy $ people, who last night burned the body according to the Yumas' established custom.
 If the death Of this boy does not prove timely warning to other boys who are in the babit of jumping on moving trains, then it is useless to say anything further but simply to wait and ehroni- cle such happenings as they come-for they are certain to come.

Roman Customs.

The Romans, in expressing pounds by the monetary abbreviatiOn, always said libra decem, instead of decem libra, the first being pounds ten and the latter ten pounds. When their initial letter or character was used it always preceded the figures. Thus the whole world got in the habit of doing these things backward Mining and Scientific Press.
 And so the Mohave Miner is right after all, and all the rest of us are simply doing as the Romans used todo, in the position we give the dollar sign

Before beginning her horsewhipplng
Miss Boise accused Mayor Parker OF
being responsible for the fact thar
"joints" are running openly in Topeka
and for a murder which was recently
committed in a saloon. She then pull"
ed the whip from the folds OF her
dress, and before the mayor knew
what had happened she struck him
across the head and shoulders.
Miss Boise is nurse and lives at
