Law Suits Compromised.

The MeadOws-Peppin litigation, which has held the attention of the local just ice court and of the general public for some days, and stirred up much bad blood among the Eitigants and attor- neys. came to q close Monday morning through the result of a compromise.
 The trouble stal ted from charge of emhezzlemert preferred by Charles Meadows against Mrs. Peppin (now Mrs. Frankel(. Mrs. Peppin then pre- ferred counter charge against Mead ows, accusing him of perjury.
 Some larid side Issues grew out of the abote, most of them resulting. ap- parentiy, from personal misunderstand- ings. Ie appears that Attorney W. F. Timmons, who was Mrs. Peppin'S coun- cil, incurred the eRmitS of Mrs. Chas.

Death of Frank Avila.

Private letter from Miss Rosa Purdr tells of the death of Frank Avila at tlfe insane asylum at Stockton, CaIifornia, on May Is. Deceased was a brother of Mrs. Sam Purdy, and lived in Yuma many years and filled a number of inn portant positions in this county. His mind became unbalanced while he was in Sonora some two or three years ago. He returned to Yuma, where he was adjudged insane and committed to the Phoenix as, lum. but was later trans ferred to the asylum at Stockton, where he died. The sudden news of his death proved so great a shock to his mother as to cause her death also. It appears that she had known nothing of her sons unfortunate condition until his death. Mrs. Avila passed away at Fresno, where she was temporarily living with her married daughter Mrs. Lola New. This doubly sad in- telligence will be great shock to the many friends Of the Purdy and Avita families in Yuma, where they were held n the highest esteem.

Shooting in the North End.

Sam F. Owens is in jail for shooting V. NJ. Devine, a deputy sheriff from Quartzsite, while whiskycrazed last Sunday night, in the north end of town.
 The shooting occurred in front of the Bon Ton restaurant. and was the cul- imitation of moro or less drunken TOW which started in the Arizona Club. The stories are conflicting as to what case where whisky is ''at the bottom. But alt seem to agree that Owens was lighting drunk; the particular brand of inebriety with which the others were afflicted is not entirely clear. It is said that Owens first attacked the piano player of the Club on account of some real or fancied grievance lover woman" not connected with the sa- lOon). Others inteffered, one of these being Deputy Sheriff Devine, who tried to stop the row. Owens in his drunken frenzy imagined the whole bunch to be his enemies, and fought accordingly. He finally rushed from the saloon, say ing. as he went out tke door: "pll fix you - -"
 Procuring revolver from some source, he returned to renew hostili- ties. He first fired shot in the air evidently to start something. It had the desired effect. Officer Devine opened the door of the Arizona Club and fired at Owens, who turned and ran across the street. Here he took stand and fired two shots, one of which struck Devine's right leg, passed through the fleshy part and lodged just 1 beneath the skin in the left leg, mak- ing painful but not serious wound.
 Owens disappeared after the shoot i ing. but the officers soon found him and placed him in jail. His preliminary examination was held before Justice Redondo this afternoon at o'clock, and he was

Bees Close Down q Mine.

1 Geo. w. Norton, who was down from l Mohawk last week, reluted a queer 1 but interesting story about having to close down work on mine on account of belligerent and thirsty swarms of bees.
 With force of men Col. Norton has for some time been developing the Red Cross mine, situated in the Mohawk Mountains, about five miles from Mo- hawk Summit It is the only place for miles around where there is any water, and recently great swarms ot bees have discovered this fact and taken advant- age of it. Famished for water, they infested the camp by the millions and took forcible possession Of the water supply. They swarmed on the canteens until these cooling vessels looked like l immense balls of bees. In the barrels containing water they would swarm until there was a solid mass of bees six inches deep. It was simply impossible for the men to get drink of water eX- cept at the risk of being stung to death, so they were forced to capitulate to the honey makers and "knock off" work.
 The cause of all this is that at this season the tanks in the mountains are all dry, and the bees must have water. They have their hives in Crevices and caves in the rocky hills, where great quantities of the most delicious mes quite honey are often found by pros pectors and others. Evidently, in this instance, the bees scented the water at the mining camp and made fer 1t, some of them travelling many miles to reach the precious fluid. Thousands plunged | into the water vessels and were drown ed. but there seemed to be never ending stream of bees to take their places, and until rainfall sets in in the moutains. the bees will have Red Cross mines to themselves.
 Col. Norton stated that the King of Arizona mine was closed down but three days because of the well accident mentioned two weeks ago. The mine is being operated on short rations of water. however, and the supply for household use is also limited in the camp, but the sinking of a new well is now going on and it is thought an am- pie water supply will be developed within couple of weeks.

DEATHS CLOSE CALL.
Laundry Wagon Crushed by Train. Narrow Escape of Four
 Occupants.

At the Second street railroad cross ing there occurred last Sunday morn ing most remarkable accident-re- markable in tie fact that four lives were not crushed out by the cars.
 Captain Donaldson, Mrs. N. o. Loyd Mrs. McKibben and Miss Blanche Me Kibben were in the laundry wagon which had just reached Madison avenue from the Alpha Steam Laundry in West Yuma. A string of five oil cars had backed up over the crossing and momenUarily stopped, and as the laun- dry people were in hurry they drove around the rear end to cross. At this instant the engineer, responding to the switchman's signal, "backed up' and the car struck the wagon and crushed it to the ground just as the team clear ed the rails The vehicle was smashed US if an egg shell, and to the mortified on-oOkers the occupants were appar- ently crushed and mangled with 1t. But kind Providence intervened. The train was stopped as soon as possible, and Bill Neahr and 4. Crontreras dragged the ladies from the wreck un- harmed. Captain Donaldson was unin- jured in fact none of the party suffer- ed even scratch. The horses made no attempt to run. which was probably one of the fortunate features of the ac- cident The wagon was completely de- molished, every spoke and hub being splintered and tern from the wheels. The escape of the occupants from be- ing mangled was little short of miracu- lOuS.
 The accident emphasizes the neces- sity for gate and a watchman at the Second street crossing is sure thing.

A Parallel Coast Line.

It is rum0red that it is the intention of the Southern Pacific Railroad com nany 10 douhle-track its coast line the entire distance to San Francisco.
 Land has been bought and right of way secured by the railroad at an ex- peuditurc of more than $100, GOO in San- ta Barbara, and as these rights of way are along the present tracks, and it is known that fanchise will be asked for shortly, the rumor of double track through route is not douhted.
 Los Angeles officials admit that the building of the new line making dou- i,le track of the coast line between Los Angeles and Burbank may be part of general scheme.

Government Experiments in Tomato
 Growing

A very interesting and suggestive, as we'll as profitable, experiment with tomatoes is in progress at the govern ment experimental date farm on the Townsend tract near town. The ob- iect of the experiment. is to demon- strate profitable crop for the farmers of this region-a crop that hitherto seems to have been neglected.
 The information is furnished by Prof R. H. Forbes, who, with the efficient help of Mr. E. L. Crane. has charge of the government experimental work at Yuma.
 The varieties chosen were Dwarf Chamion and Burpee's, and Quaker Cretory-these bushy, low-growing kinds being best adapted to our climat- ic conditions.
 Shipments of tomatoes began June 2G and are still in progress. Up to the present writing the experimental half acre has produced for outside markets 42S twenty-pound crates of first-class fruit; 1540 pounds of first-class tolna- toes and 1850 pounds of crated fruit were sold on the home market. Be- sides there was d waste of 1750 pounds, which might have been canned, with proper facilities. In other words, this half acre of new land, irrigated for the first time in May, 1905, has produced thus far about l3, 500 pounds, or six and three fourths tons, of tomatoes, and is i by no means done producing yet although the fruit is no longer as large as at first.
 Shipments have been made to Tucsor and Bisbee, butcould have been made as far east as Fl Paso; and for the frs three weeks shipments could also have been made to Los Angeles, preceding the California crop.
 Prices have ranged, wholesale, iron , to 6 crate, f. O. b. Yuma, and gros sales have amounted to about $500.
 The heavy yield obtained demon strates not only d profitable shippin! crop for part of the season, but pOint out excellent possibilities fora canning factory, which should produce at homC an article of enormous consumption throughout the Southwest.

Court Clerks on a Straight Salary:

A measure passed by the last con- gress. which is now effective, will re- suit in a considerable saving to the government in conducting the courts of this territory The measure places the court clerks on salary and does away with the fees. Each clerk IS to receive d straight salary of $500 a year, and fees which formerly were given to the clerk must now be-paid to Uncle Sam.
 This will be big loss to the clerks. as in every court district in the terri tory the fees amounted to more than $500 per year. In Judge Doan $ dis trict they were heaviest, as the wheels of justice were kept revolving continu- ally, owing to the large number ot cases. The fees there amounted to about S12. 900, it is reported. The court clerks office in Tucson nnder the fee system was worth about $5,000 per an urn.-Graham Guardian.
