An Important Enterprise.

An enterprise which means great deal to Yuma and Yuma county is the organization of the Yuma Land and Stock Company with headquarters at Yuma. The organization has been completed, and the articles of incor- poration are in preparation by attorney R. F. Davis, and will be ready for publication at an early day. When approached upon the subject of the scope and purposes of the company, Mir. Davis said that there is nothing definite to give out as yet. It is under stood, however, that the company will have paid up capital of S50,0 and that the officers are:
 Ed. Ingram, President,
 J. F. Ingram, Vice-President,
 J. A. Donovan, Secretary,
 A. Cost, Treasurer.
 The officers with the addition of N. J. Rogers make up the board of di-

rectors.
 The organization of so strong and able a body of men to operate on the scale contemplated by them, is very conclusive evidence of the confidence in the outcome of this country enter tained by men of money and business sense. This enterprise will encourage capital from other quarters to seek this field for investment. While nothing authoritative has been given out, it is understood that a wholesale land and cattle business is comtem- plated; also later on a banking busi- ness.
 The company has bought ready for shipment to their ranch in Yuma valley herd of 100 registered Hol- stein cattle.
 Mir. Ingram and his bookkeeper, Mr. Jones, came in from Los Angeles last Monday, and are on the ground for business.

DEATH UNDERWRITERS
Clarence E. Butler Killed While Try-
 ing to Board Freight Train.

Capt. Charley Smith, while walking north on Madison avenue early this morning, found the body of man who had evidently been killed by the west bound freight which left Yuma soon after midnight. Both the neck and back were broken and the toes severed from the right foot; otherwise there was no mutilation. The supposition is that he met his death while trying to board the train.
 In the pockets of the dead man was found letter which revealed his identity and disclosing that he was deserter from the United States navy. The letter was from his uncle, Edwin H. Barnes, Monathon, N. Y. The letter was in kindly tone, advising the young man to go to the nearest navy station at once and give himself

ToWnSend-AnguEO.

A quiet though very happy wedding was that of Mr. Albert w. Townsend and Miss Teresita Angulo, which took place at the Catholic church at ' o'clock last Monday morning in the presence of few friends.
 The marriage ceremony was pro- nounced by Rev. Father Wander maesen. Cornelio Angulo and wife acted as best man and bridesmaid re- spectively.
 The bride was handsomely gowned in white silk with lace trimmings. while the groom was attired in uncon- ventional business suit and they were a very handsome couple, as they stood up to register the VOWS, which made them man and wife.
 Following the marriage ceremony the happy couple and a number of, their friends repaired to the home of o. F. Townsend, where bountiful wedding breakfast was enjoyed and congratulations were showered upon the newly welded pair. "Open house" and welcome and good cheer brought a large number of friends, who were served with refreshments, and the merriment was kept up all day.
 Mr. Townsend is the oldest son of O. F. Townsend, Secretary of the Cham Der of Commerce, and has for several years had charge of the Wells x Fargo Express office. He is young man of most pleasing personality and has a large circle of friends.
 The bride is daughter of MT. and Mrs. Gabriel Angulo, and sister of Cornelio Angulo and Mrs. Adolph Verdugo. Until recently her home has been in Tucson. Although not long residing here, she has made many friends and has become a social favorite.
 Mr. and Mrs. Townsend will of course make their home in Yuma, and will be pleased to receive their friends at the Townsend residence on First avenue.
 Albert is having a residence built on Townsend Heights, and he and his bride will soon be under their own vine and fig tree.

Death of Miss Harringt on.

Miss Margaret M. Harrington, who has been a teacher in the Yuma public schools for the past four years, died of pneumonia last Saturday near the hour of noon, at the residence of w. H. Eli ott. Miss Harrington was first taken ill about three weeks ago, her illness developing into what the attending physician pronounced diphtheria. She passed safely through the different stages, of this dangerous malady, which left her, however, in low state of vi tality, althogh it was thought she was out of danger and would recover. It was therefore a great shock to her friends when her death was announced on Saturday. The immediate cause of death was pronounced sub-acute pneu- mOna.
 Miss Harrington was a most estima- ble young young woman and during her four years residence in Yuma made friends of all with whom she came in contact. She was a graduate of the Los Angeles Normal and was well equipped for school work, in which she was very successful. She was an active member of the Yuma Woman's Club and of the local tenn perance order.
 By telegraphic instructions, the body was embaImed Sunday by Johnson & Bowles and expressed to Virginia City,

The cause of the fire whs furious gust of wind, which lifted the roof from the dancing pavilion and threw it on top of the Pacific Electric power house, wrecking the building and machinery, crushing into tangled mass the live electric wires, from which there at once issued the most intense heat, and flames that could not be subdued. The fire spread quickly and resisted all. efforts to stop it until the destruction was almost con- plete. The loss is estimated at more than $IO0,O0O.

PASSING OF JUDGE LEE
Peculiar Yuma County Character Dies
 in County Hospital.

A man of letters, possessing literary attainments of q high order, poetic genius, the associate and classmate at Harvard of Oliver Wendell Holmes; once strong intellectually, but weaken ed and morally warped through long enslavement to the "cup that cheers,' John R. Lee snccumbed to the inevita- ble and passed to the Other Shore, at the county hospital last Sunday morn ing.
 By a telegraphic request from his wife, in St. Louis, the body was em- balmed and is being held at the under taking rooms of Johnson & Bowles, awaiting instructions from T. c. Day, a wealthy half brother of deceased in Boston,
 For several years Judge Lee has lived almost hermit's life at Gila, having charge of the Monitor Mill and Mining Company's silent plant, and was also postmaster; but he had little to do in either capacity, and some of his time was spent in placering. Idle much of the time. his solitary existence was perhaps rendered more gloomy by breeding over the better days" long agone; the effu- sions which he occasionally sent to the local papers indicated this.
 Many years ago Judge Lee came to Arizona from St. Louis, where he is said to have held high and honorable judicial positions. There was an es- arrangement between himself and fam fly. and it became permanent, filling his life with bitterness; the cause he kept to himself. His isolation seems to have been self-chosen. He was New Englander by birth, and gradu- ate of Harvard, having been a class mate of Oliver Wendell Holmes and Hubbard, the wealthy railroad man and banker of New York and Boston. Ev- idently his early environment and life were as roseate and suspicious as could be pictured. But his indulgence in an appetite-which has ruined many another good man-caused his down. fall.
 Let us hope that the desire expressed by Judge Lee himself in the last stanza of Musings While on the Pacific Ocean," one of his poems, written one year ago, may have been realized: If my barque at fast be stranded
 On the beetling crags of time. May 1 gain ''creedless" harbor,
