A Yuma Sanitarium.

The Drs. Ketcherside have acquired title to the mansion and extensive grounds on the mesa long known as the Old Sanitarium and will shortly have it arranged and furnished as modern down-to-now sanitarium for the benefit of invalids and semi-invalids who de- sire to benefit from our balmy winter air but are deterred from coming here through the known lack of accomoda- tiOns.
 On the grounds surrounding the house it is proposed to erect a number of tents for the use of those to whom a constant outdoor life is essential. Dr. Ketcherside Senior visited Los Angeles last week to purchase furniture and fittings and the sanitarium will soon be a reality.
 That the enterprise will prove a suc- cess is scarcely to be doubted, for even during this season many invalids and semi-invalids who have come here with the full intention of remaining for the winter, have been compelled to leave within few days because a house or suitable rooms could not be found.

Another "Dot and Carry One."

Last Thursday night a young Mexi- can giving the name of Jose Tellas con- cluded that riding had walking beat to frazzle as a means of getting some where else and why pay fare when there are break rods?
 With the double end in view of saving shoe leather and getting somewhere, he attempted to beard freight train at the west end of the bridge. The word tat tempted" means whule lot in this lit- tie tale of the happening, for Jose is now counting the toes of but one foot-uno, dos, tres, ,-cuatro,- ,-cinco,-there the count stops fer Jose. fer the Drs. Ketch- erside amputated the others good dis tance up the leg.
 Aided by a good constitution the son of Montezuma will. in due time, be peg ging around, trifle damaged but still in the ring.

Truck Tourists Mishap.

A husky young negro about l9 years old crawled off the trucks of a west bound train one day last week with one wing badly out of whack.
 The dusky '.bo'' had found his quar- ters on the rear truck so comfortable that the monotonous clickety-click of the wheels passing over the rail joints lulled him to sleep. In the course of his peaceful slumbers the 'balmy airs of Yuma county made him to dream of too many covers on his bed, and his arm was instantly thrown out to cast them off. What he got made truly lasting impression on him, for his arm struck a wheel, and with the train going some thing less than 70 miles an hour, that wheel was a close second to a buzz saw. Flesh and muscle were burnt to the bone.
 The Ethiopian is resolving seventeen times day that he will ''nevah ride none O them trucks again" while the arm, under pr. Ketcherside' care at the county hospital, is slowly getting into shape again.

Verdict For Colorado Company.

The case of the Colorado Iron Works Company against the California King Gold Mines Company, which was on trial for five weeks in the supreme court at Los Angeles, resulted last Thursday in verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount sued for, S40, 900.
 The suit was brought to recover a balance claimed to be due on the con tract price of crushing and cyanide plant, erected by the Denver firm for the defendant company on their property at Picacho, twenty-five miles up the river from Yuma. The mining company resisted the payment of the claim on the ground that the plant was not up to the guaranty of 1000 tons per day; that the workmanship was poor, and that there had been delay in the work. and set up counter claim for damages in the amount of $l00,000.
 The plaintiff was given judgment for the full amount of its claim, the defend ants claim for damages being ignored.
 Considerable interest was manifest in the case here, and the verdict created something of surprise to many who are familiar with the workings of the Picacho plant.
 Ex-United States Senator Stephen w. Dorsey and R. F Pettigrew. the latter being vice-president and manag- ing director of the California King Com pany, figured prominently in the trial.
 Whether the judgment will be paid or appealed to the supreme court re- mains to be seen. The defendant re- served the usual exceptions and gave notice of an appeal.

Who Hit MT. Donovan?

Patrick Donovan, section boss of the Ogilbee section, came in early this week looking like he had just experi- fenced bit of fun at Donny brook Fair. He had a number of cuts, bruises and contusions on bis top-knot and evident ly somebody had made himself exceed ingly busy in Mr. Donovan's immedi- ate vicinity, but who it was he couldn't tell, as he was out of the game before time was called for the first round. One of the cuts on his head looks as though it might have been made with @ branding iron, leaving a very distinct impression of star: it was evidently a star event in which Mr. Sullivan saw more than he could count. The sheriff is said to be looking for the artist who left his imprint on MT. Sullivan s head, and we understand he has him spotted,

"Let Us Get Into Yuma"

Editor Sentinel: Allow me, through your columns, to call attention to the fact that there is but one road, and that very poor one, into Yuma from the valley below that is at all practical to haul load over and that the city is doing nothing to make it better. First street should be improved for the cred it and benefit of the town.
 Last spring the farmers Of the valley turned out to the number of some ten four-hOrse scraper teams and graded the hill down leading to West Yuma. voluntarily, with the understanding that the city would put on blue dirt and wet it down to make a good road. A little blue dirt was put on part of the street, but no water on any of it. The good work done by the farmers was practically nullifed by this neglect. It was not just the right thing to do to say to the farmers. "You come on with your teams and grade down that hill and we will 'blue-dirt' it, sprinkle it and make a good road for you to haul your produce to town Over," and then come short of keeping the promise. The farmers demand, as a right, free access to their trading point. If it was within their province they would turn out and fix First street in short order.
 The county is making road along the south side of the town site to con- meet with Orange avenue that will, when completed, enable q large num- Der of the farmers of the valley to haul heavy loads into town, but another large number must necessarily enter the town by First street; and the city owes it to them to put it.in good condi- tion. Let me gently state another fact: The business men of Yuma are all do- ing well; some of them are getting rich; some are already rich; while the farm CTS, though they toll necessarily, are not gaining in wealth phenomenally. The business men of Yuma can we'll afford to help make two good roads in- to town, one from each end. They can not afford not to do so.
 Kindly,
 NJ. Winsor.

For Sweet Charity.

Yuma Aerie No. 398, Fraternal Or der of Eagles, will give a grand ball at Elks' hall on Thursday evening, Decem- ber IT, the proceeds of which will be placed in the hands of a responsible committee for the purpose of >buying Christmas presents for the unfortunate people of Yuma who are unable to buy for themselves and do not expect pres ents from others. The Eagles will pay all the expenses of the ball out of their own pockets, donating the entire pro- ceeGs from the sale of tickets to chari- ty. The ball should, and no doubt will, be well patronized, as its object is a very commendable one.

Denied the Petition.

A man named Casey, who has recent ly had his full share of trouble over at Tucson, was brought before Judge Davis here Tuesday by his attorneys who tried the habeas corpus plan to re- lieve their client from finishing jail sentence, to which he had been subject ed by a jnstice of the peace who later concluded to amend his own judgment, reducing the penalty to q fine and a shorter imprisonment. Judge Davis decided that the justice had no power to amend his judgment. once rendered and entered, and accordingly dismissed the habeas corpus petition ofCasey and remanded him back to jail to finish his sentence.
 Considerable of sensation was ere ated short while ago in Tucson by the suicide of Casey's wife while her hus- band was in jail. It is said that whisky was the prime cause of all the trouble.

CONNECTS ATTEMPT SUICIDE.
Garcia and ROdrigues, Indicted as Principal of and Accessory to rIur- der of Fellow Convict, Try to
 End Their Lives.

On Sunday and Monday respectively, Convicts Garcia and Rodrigues, indict- ed by the grand jury last week as prin- cipal and accessory, fn the order named, for the murder of Simon Aldrete fel- low convict, in the territorial prison on August Is, tried the suicide route of escape from the impending trial and its possible consequences.
 To the desperate all things seem pos sible. Garcia shattered a medicine bottle and with the jagged pieces of glass slashed and gashed his anatomy, paying special attention first to his throat and then to his 'legs-the latter being suggested to his mind, possibly, because. his victim bled to death from a severed vein in the leg, Either from weakness of the glass or his nerve the cuts barely penetrated the skin and were quickly patched. and bottles and other playthings have been put out of his reach.
 Rodrigues was not so fOrtunate-or unfortunate, as the case may be. He managed to form rude sort of knife from the lid of sheet-iron cell bucket with which he stabbed himself in the breast immediately below the heart, inficting dangerous wound. The jagged blade penetrated fully three inches, piercing the lung. A probably fatal result is expected, through septic poisoning, owing to the nature of the weapon used.

Jail Break at Tombstone.

Judge Davis received telegram to- day stating that fourteen prisoners broke jail at Tombstone on Tuesday, among them Alvord and Stiles and two convicts who had been taken there as witnesses from the pen. Alvord was under sentence of two years for train robbery and Stiles was about to be tried as an accomplice of Alvord.
 Alvord had been sentenced to two years in the pen, and the escape was only discovered when the sheriff went after him to take him to Yuma.

Worlds Fair Exhibit.

MT. A. F. White. Worlds Fair Com missioner, has received quite a number of mineral and agricultural exhibits for the Fair during the last few days. The time is none too long now to make a creditable showing, and it is hoped the interest thus far manifested by few will induce a more lively effort on the part of those in a position to furnish desirable products. It should not be necessary to make appeals for such a meritoriOus object-perhaps it will not be, hereafter.

w. D. Smith was delighted to receive visit from A. E. Brock of Redlands, Cal. last week. Mir. Brock is promi- nent real estate man and city trustee of Redlands, the former home of Mir. Smith. Mr. Brock is a very busy man ordinarily but was so much interested in the Colorado river country that he took time from his pressing business to investigate this locality. He was some what surprised at the growth and pro- gress evident in Yuma and vicinity.
 The store of the King of Arizona mine is now being operated by the company Supervisor NJ. J. Nugent, who has been conducting the business for several years having retired from the management of the business and moved to Yuma, which will henceforth be his headquarters. We understand that Mir. L. w. Alexander, who has been associated with Mr. Nugent at Kofa, will also become a resident of Yuma.
 Attorneys Wupperman and Wupper- man and Frank Baxter have been ap- pointed by the court to defend Garcia and Rodrigues on the charge of mur- dering fellow convict. This case will doubtless be continued for the term. F. L. Ingraham was appointed to de- fend the convict, Jesus Garcia, charged with stabbing Asa Bishop, prison guard. The case goes over.
 General Edward BOuton of Los An geles has been in attendance at Court, being principal plaintiff in suit against the Empire Copper Company to quiet title to mining claims at Empire Flat in the northern part of Yuma county. A personal judgment was secured against the defendant company in the trial of the case last Thursday.
 Senator Pettigrew was in Yuma last week en route for PicachO. Senator Pettigrew is president of the California King Gold Mines Company, whose prop critics are located at Picacho. It is un- derstood that radical changes in the management of affairs at Picacho will be made shortly, affecting both tue company's store and it's mines.
