The Democratic Primaries.

The democratic primary election last
Saturday was warmly contested, there
being two tickets in the field. One
ticket was headed Irregular Demo-
cratic Ticket, the other, Democratic
Ticket" The Regulars''w showed
under. The delegates elected are w.
F. Timmons, w. E. Lynch, NJ. j.
Nugent, w. E. Power, Ben Bradford,
Sam de Corse, John Hemphill, H. P.
Crandall, Robert Bechtel, Fl. E. Pin
ney, J. H. Shanssey, E. L. Martin,
Bill Neahr.
This ticket is supposed to represent
the political interests of Mike Nugent
for the council, and as to sheriff,
the leading candidates, Devine and
Livingston, we understand, agreed on
division, one getting seven delegates,
the other six. The defeated ticket, it
is said. held the fortunes of Mel Green
leaf for sheriff.

Irrigation NatterS.

Supervising Engineer j. B. Lippin-
colt, accompanied by Engineer Hamlin
and Judge Kibbey, attorney for the
Water Users Association, arrived in
Yuma last Friday for the purpose con-
sulting with reference to the question
Of the mesa land holders coming into
the Yuma Valley Water Users Associa-
ton. The question will be determined
at mass meeting Of the interested
parties to be held today, when, if it is
decided so to do, the association will so
amend its bylaws and constitution as
to permit mesa people to come in and
form one association instead of organic
ing as a separate body, as has been
contemplated.
The government has decided to make
40 acres the maximum holding on the
mesas, which of course means more
homes, more intensive cultivation and
a richer tributary to Yuma's growth
and prosperity.
The government engineers have de-
termined upon plans for irrigating
10000 acres of mesa lands by means of
electric power generated in the ''drops"
of the valley canals in conjunction
with steam power. With reference to
economy III the latter, the government
is negotiating with a mechanical
engineering firm, which is now work
ing on plans for new style engine, Il
direct connection steam turbine, as an
aid in lifting the water from the valley
to the higher lands. To secure a mini
mum OF loss of water by evaporation
and seepage, it has been determined
to have all the main bitches on the
mesa cemented
Looking to the further cheapening
of water to the mesa landowners, it is
proposed to use oil as fuel for the
mechanical power. 1t is estimated
that oil at S1.0O per barrel, will make
the water cost about $500 per acre.
The government has submitted q
proposition to the Southern Pacific
Company to enter into a contract to
furnish the oil at 10 per cent. above
its cost. The company is said to regard
the proposition favorably, although it
has taken no action in the matter yet,
The matter of securing rights of way
and making necessary purchases of
land at the dam-site, was considered
by the association, and Mr.. w. E.
Marvin has been employed to look
after these details.

DANIELS APPOINTED.

Mr.. Ben F. Daniels trunk will re.

accessories including his blankets, will
be carted up there before the first OF
October, for Mr.. Daniels, like the long
felt-want newspaper, "has come to

OF good results, as Governor Brodie on
Monday appointed him superintendent
OF the territory's chief penal institu-
ton, and the man made conspicuous by
personal commentator for bravery at
San Juan Hill, by Colonel Roosevelt
himself, will take charge of the prison
next Saturday.
Just why Mr.. Daniels should have
been so exasperatingly secretive and
evasive in regard to the appointment
last week is matter of conjecture.
The appointment is understood to
have been made on the direct recon-
mendation of President Roosevelt him.

loyalty to those whom he admires and
considers deserving and capable.
Colonel Griffith's record as superin-
tendent is without flaw and he re-
tires of his own volition, on account of
private business affairs which demand
his personal attention.

Proceedings of Court.

The entire morning on last Thursday
was taken up by the trial OF Ed. j..
Geddis, colored, charged with ar
son. He was accused of having
burned the barn and stable ssof
Kennedy Lewis. in the Stateburg
neighloorhood. The case was not
made out by the State, the testimony
against Geddis being of so himsy a
nature that the Solicitor stated that
he did not think a verdict of guilty
should stand even though one should
be found. Judge Purdy therefore di-
rected that verdict of not guilty be
found.
Thursday afternoon the trial of
George W. Murray for forgery was
taken up. Murray was defended By
Maj. NJ. Noise, and the Solicitor was
assisted in the prosecution by H. D.
Noise. Esq. This case has aroused
more interest than any. other on the
docket at the present term and the
trial took up the balance of the week.
a legtlly report of the trial will be
found on another page.
The court of Common Pleas which
convened Monday morning has an IN
usually heavy docket, there being more
than forty cases on the docket. It
will of course be impossible for all
of these cases to be tried at this term.
A majority of the cases on the docket
are suits to recover damages, and
such cases usually consume a great

Boarded Engine and Left Town.

One of the boldest and most danger
Gus acts ever attempted here was COM
mitted yesterday morning by man
giving his name as j. E. Elkins of
118 Lumber street, Columbia.
The engine Of the Gibson and Sum-
ter train had been left at rest'' on
the track but few hours when Elkins
boarded it and pulled out of the city
headed for Florence. The steam had
gone down considerably in the boiler
and he coulon't go very fast. he
blew the proper signals for crossings,
and when about two miles from town
he blew for hand car to get off the
track, but the hands refused and he
slowed down, when one of the colored
railroad hands boarded the engine
and brought him back to town. Off
GERS McKagen and Barwick arrested
him and placed him in the guard
house.
ga warrant was sworn out against
him before magistrate Wells and a
preliminary hearing was held on last
Saturday. On the showing made be
was bound over for trial at the next
term of court Elkins was drunk at
the time and claims to have no recol-
lection of the occurrence.
