Citv is "Out" a Jail.

The city of Yuma once owned a jail; it does not own any jail now. Parties passing the imposing edifice lately could not get by without reading the big sign nailed on the front of the building bearing the astonishing legend, "For Rent" The city jail for rent? What did it mean? It was puzzling to good many people, and in manner seemed to indicate fattering moral condition the fact that the city had no use for it's bastile and was trying to rent it to to some one and get some revenue out of it. But this theory proved to be a delusion. Investigation has revealed the fact that the old city council some time ago sold to Althee Modesti a cer- tain lot, and only after the money had been paid over and the transfer made did the aforesaid council learn that the jail was located on the aforesaid lot. So the town is minus jail and Mir. Modesti is one ahead on the deal.

Arrested for Forgery.

P. 5. Ramirez, who has been operat- ing a general merchandise store at the corner of Main and Third streets. is in trouble over an alleged shortage in his accounts as treasurer of the Alliancia Hispano-AmericanO society. Mr. Ra- mireZ, it is said. has made good the shortage, but has since been arrested on charge of forgery in connection with the same society and it's funds. The order is benevolent in character and allows sick and other benefits to it's members. It appears that L. Monie, a member, who was taken sick. applied for and was allowed the aid to which he was entitled from the society, the treasurer being instructed to pay him certain sums of money. Some time later Mr. MOnje complained to other members that he was not receiving any help and upon investigation it was found that Ramirez had paid no money to the sick member, but had forged Mr. Monies name to receipts for various sums, and it is on this charge that he is now being held. Ramirez was given a preliminary examination Saturday. when he was held to the action of the grand jury in the sum of 5000. He was committed to jail, where he re- mained over Sunday, but on Monday morning J. M. Molina and others went on his bond and he was released.

Yuma Driving and Park Association.

The proposed fair and driving associ- ation met pursuant to call in the office of Ben c. Heyl, Molina block, on Mon dayOf last week to effect organization. R. J. Duncan called the meeting to order, Ben C. Heyl acting as secretary.
 The first order of business taken up was the selection Of a name for the pro- posed association, which it was decided should be known as the Ynma Driving and Park Association.
 The association next proceeded to elect officers as follows:
 President, R. J. Duncan.
 Secretary, Ben c. Heyl.
 Treasurer, w. H. Lewis
 Board of Directors, J. NJ. Speese, A. P. Behan, Dr. Pike, w. H. Lewis, George s. Marable, Ben c. Heyl and John Doan.
 The chairman was instructed to ap- point a cOmmittee e consisting of three members, the president to act as chair man of said committee, to interview $. Sumner and H. H. Robinson relative to procuring from them suitable ground for the construction of park and track.
 The board of directors were instruct ed to draw up bylaws and rules for the association and present them for ap- proval at meeting to be called by the secretary.
 The secretary was instructed to re- quest subscribers to deposit with the Bank of Yuma, to be placed to the credit of the treasurer, amount by them subscribed.
 It is to be hoped that the citizens of Yuma and all Yuma county will assist and encourage the efforts of the few enterprising citizens who have banded themselves together under the title of The Yuma Driving and Park Associa- tion, as not only do they propose to build race track, but park, as well, where all sorts of outdoor sports can be had and few leisure hours may be proftably spent. There has long been felt in Yuma the need of a place where the national holiday as we'll as other holidays might be appropriately cele- brated, and the day is not far distant when the citizens of Yuma county will be considering the needs of a place where can be shown the products of this, the coming county of all Arizona, in mining, stock-raising and agricul- ture. These are a few of the needs that have prompted the actions of number of our citizens to form The Yuma Driving and Park Association. Let the good work go on.
