Increased Assessments Invaiidated.

AS usual each year, the county board of equalization met Oh the third Mon day of August for the purpose of equal izing the assessed values on ptopefty for this year: to hear any objections to the assessments or to the proposed in- creases determined upon by the beard at it's July sitting. A number of citi- zens who felt aggrieved becajise of the raises in their assessments. were repre- sented before the board by Attorneys Wupperman x Wupperman of Yuma ana Street & Alexander of Phoenix to look after their interests and prevent. if possible. the increases from being made. The attorneys took advafitage of the neglect of the board to publish the required legal notice to the prop erty owners affected, and after due dee liberation following a conclusive argus ment on the subject by Judge Street and written opinion by District Attor- ney TimmOns, there was nothing for the board to do but to cancel it's action in raising the assessments, which leaves the same as returned by the assessor.
 The board then took up the matter of the rate peF hundred dollars of valu- a1ion for the fiscal year and fixed the same at S4.55, which will bring in more revenue than the county will need for this year, anyhow.

"Peon Millionaire" Dead.

It iS announced from Chihuahua, Mexico. that Pedro Alvarado. of Parral, the discovecer and owner of the Pal milla mine, the richest Of Mexican gold mines, died suddenly at Parrai on Tues day, August 18th.
 His wealth was seldom estimated at less than S85.080, 1000, gold, and of him the f0llo@idg short sketch becomes pecuIiatlt appropriate:
 Pedro Alvarado; the ''peon million sfreH of Pafraf. Mexico, with his sud dem wealth, has developed large vein of benerolence, though it usually takes an eccentric course, says correspond ent of the Mining and Scientific Press. He is constructing a palace on the site of his birthplace, in one of the most sqIaljd parts of the city Of Parral. Ii is all of stone, which admits of most elaborate carving, which is all being done by native wOrkmen. He has also restored large Catholic church that was falling into decay, at cost of $50, 000. Altarado is good to the poor, and is said to provide for all the beggars of Parral. The Palmilla mine produces much rich specimen ore, and Mexican miners, like those of some other nation alities. are, given to stealing stuff of that sort that seems to be in their way Altarado. however. wifi not permit any precautions to be taken to prevent thieVihg, upon the theory. probably. fhat it is wrong to "muzZle the OK that treads the corn"

CONVICT MURDERS CONVICT. differs" in the Territorial Prison
 Have a Deadly Quarrel.

At an early hour on Sunday morning two lifeterm convicts and cell-mates in the territorial prison quarreled, in the course of which the pOcket-kEife of Onei Francisco Garcia, was used with deadly effect upon his fellow convict. Simon Aldfete.
 Aldrete. otherwise Convict No. 1000, was discovered by q guard lyiug on the floor Of cell No. l3, bleeding from sev- eral cuts. By direction of Assistant Superintendent Wilder he w8s at once removed to the prison hospital and Dr., KetcHerside immediately summoned.
 Francisco Garcia, the other occupant of the cell. was searched and q small pochet-knife found on him. <hough no traces of blood were found Cn the knife his clothing betrayed him by it's bloody stains.
 AIdrete died about ten minutes after the arrival of the surgeon, who, noting five wounds on the man, gave his first attention to the cuts over the heart as being likely to prove of the most im- portance.
 In the p0St-mortem examination, in which Dr.. Ketcherside was as sisted by Dr.. Parks, of San Diego it was found that the principal vein Of the right leg had been severed, death fesulting through loss of blood.
 Ex-OfficiO Coroner Thurlow paneled jury. whose personnel was as fol- lows: j.. D. Meadows, Foreman; J. T., He1nphill, J. NJ. A'varado, J, J. Kenny G. $. Marable, R. C. Sexsmith, E. L.. Crane, Gus Olinder, w. R. English and P. B. Hodges The verdict was to the effect that Simon Aldrete, convict No. ,. OO0, came to his death by % knife wound inflicted by Francisco Garcia, convict No. l, 74F.
 Tn view of the fact that there was no eyewitness to the assault and that Garcia could only be convicted of man slaughter with no more than life sen tence, which he is now serving, it is inn probab3t that any further action will be taken in the matter.

Mistakes will happen, with newspa- pers as well as with doctors and other people. If doctor make a mistake, however. it is buried; if a newspaper make a mistake it gets ''cuSsed'; for it., The Sentinel stated, on supposed good authority, last week that Bedoya. who was shot at Gila City, was dead As MT. Bedoya has since denied it. and is further corroborated by his physician, Dr. Alp John, we cheerfully state that Senor Bedoya is very much alive and will probably remain. so indefinitely we hope so, at least.

It is the building of d lum- Der road from Livingston into tile Sier- ra Anches,. where mills will be put for the getting out of lumber for the con structiOn of the reservoir.

ON THE BROADER PLANE.
George ii. Maxwell Working For Special Appropriations for
 Colorado River.

The following letter received by Su, pervisor Hinds, on behalf of the board cohtains much of interest to the home readers of the Sentinel. That the writer of this letter is work ing at all times for the interests of this section equally with other districts should prove an incentive to closer union and greater harmony with even greater interest and effort here. It is probable that no change will be made in the arrangements for the meet ing of the 3lst, and at that time announ' cement will be made of q September rally at which Mr. Maxwell will be present.
 With the proceedings of the national irrigation congress fresh in mind the September meeting promises to be one of more than usual interest to all, and it is to be hoped that the bailiwick of Yuma will be personally represented at the congress. that the Yuma pleas of Mir. Maxwell may receive proper back ing and informed support.
 Mir. Maxwell's letter is as follows:
 August H, 1905 $. B. Kinds, Chairman,

 1 regret very much to have to write you that it will be impossible for me to get to Yuma before the latter part of September.

ROOSEVELT MAY GO TO HARVARD

Suggestion Made in Editorial of the

Under the heading "a Long Look Ahead
for Roosevelt" the Springfield Republican
in an editorial says:
What Harvard will do for a President
when DR.. Eliot gets through has long been
a source Of speculation. He will be sixty
nine years old the Goth, but in vigor and
force and youth DR.. Eliot is without SUI
perior among university or college presi-
dents, good for yet many years. There is
an interesting suggestion current among
Harvard men who know Theodore Roose-
welt we'll. It Is that the President OF the
United States cherishes a strong ambition,
when he has finished the second term in the
White House which he expects the Ameri-
can people are to secure to him, to become
president of Harvard University. This Is
q suggestion calculated to arouse lively
interest in Harvard and college circles gen.
orally, none the less because 1t In dealing In
distant futures.
To be sure, the thought Of putting Mr..
Roosevelt at the head of the Cambridge in
stitution would directly contravene DR..
Eliot's stout contention that the prizes of
college preAdencies ought to go to the
teaching profession, hut we all know that
