SECURE DETAILS OF
UNDERWOOD ROBBERY

he Arrested.

Tbs officers OF Ward county
are now working hard on the
Underwood bank robbery case,
looking for the other two men,
who composed the gang that
made the famous laid last fall.
The five Sawyer bank robbers
were on their way to Underwood
to crack the big safes, when they
met two other robbers bent on
the same errand. They fell in
with each other, busted the safes
by mutual agreement, divided
the spoils equally, and then
separated, the five going to Den
bigh, where another bank was
blown open. The two however,
did not trust the five Sawyer fel-
lows for they left Immediately
after the Underwood raid. One
of the men is now at his old home
ia Ireland and the other is spend
ing his money like a drunken
sailor in a North Dakota town.
The story is being investigated
and it is believed that the report
is absolutely true.

LIFE RATS NOT SECURE
Investigators of the City of Panama
Affair Take Testimony

The investigation by Inspectors
Bolles and Bulger as to whether or not
the life RATS of the steamer City Of
Panama, which encountered heavy
weather while crossing the bar last
New Years day, had been properly
fastened to the deck, has been COM
pleted and the testimony taken yester-
day is under advisement-
It was shown that the seas, breaking g
over the vessel tore away the life
RATS, sweeping them overheard with
four of the crew, one of whom was
drowned.
Captain A. W. Nelson testified that
the RATS were made secure before the
vessel left the wharf, and his testi-
mony was corroborated. 1t was ad-
mitted by the master that the RATS
were lashed to beds or chocks which
were not fastened to the deck.

With the end of the second period
of the gold prize contest only five days
distant. many of the contestants are
becoming very foxy and are holding
back their votes until the last day,
hoping thereby to surprise their COM
petitors and overwhelm them with a
large accumulation OF votes at the
finish It is hardly probable that wise
contestants will be caught mapping or
fooled into the belief that their rivals
have ceased working because their
scores are at a standstill
On the last day of the first period
scores Were Just about doubled all

Hon. T. J. Morrison, member of the last legislature, passed through Yuma last Saturday on his way to Bisbee from Los Angeles where he had been on a mining deal. Mir. Morrison represents the Southwestern Mining company of Philadelphia which has lately pur- chased several copper-gold claims near Congress Junction. He Is an enthusiast about the mining districts along the Arizona & California railroad and says it is the only rich mining country in the world that remains so largely un- explored. At Prescott last week T. H. Reynolds of Cunningham Pass said the same thing. He went so far as to pre- dict that within few years the center of all Arizona's copper production will lie in northern Yuma county. He also said that Salome and Wendendale are running d race to see which one can become the most important mining camp and that more than fifty pros poets were being developed in the Wenden district The old Bullard mine in Cunningham Pass, bought by J. w. Boone of Globe several weeks ago for S25, ,O00 is yielding enough ship ping ore already to pay for itself, so that the purchaser is out no expendi- ture except for the first payment.

A Wonderful Clock.

A clock which the inventor claims will run 2OOO years was recently con- structed by an Englishman. The mo- tive power is small piece of gold leaf, which is electrified bya small quantity of radium salt. He also claims that it will keep correct time, but costs about one thousand dollars to make. Among medicines the most wonderful is Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters, being first compounded 54 years ago. It should therefore appeal to every sick man or woman who desires to be made we'll again. One trial will convince you that there is nothing else like it for curing sick headache, fatulency, poor appe- tite, heartburn, sour risings, dyspepsia, indigestion, cramps, diarrhoea, or ma laria, fever and ague. Try it today. It is guaranteed under the pure drug act of June 30, 1906.

". w. Woodman, aged about 7C years, had hard fall last Friday while in the city and the wonder is it did not kill him As it was he escaped with only some ugly bruises and a bad shake up. He was looking at the new bug gies Alexander & Co. have on view at their Second street warehouse and he made a mis-step backward and fell into the open stairway pit, alighting on his back eight feet below with so much force that the two bottom steps which his back struck were cracked by the blow. Dr. Alp John, wbo waited on him at his valley home little while later, said that Mr. Woodman had es- capped internal injury.

The funeral of Guy Lawler took
 place from the Method !st church Snn- day afternoon at 1 o'clock. Many 1 friends followed the remains to their last resting place. Guy was the IT, year-old son of w. A. Lawler. He fell
 to his death frotn second-story win dow of the Hotel Van Nuys, on Main street in Los Angeles, where he was employed. While sitting in the win dow with friend he WAS seized with a
 fainting spell. He struck the step of a fire escape, but continued to the pave
 ment below, sustaining fatal internal injuries. They took him to the Finer gency hospital and wired to his father. who arrived at his sons bedside some hours before the young mans death. Guy was perfectly conscious up to an hour before his death.
 Julius Krutschnitt, director of opera tion and mainten nunce of the Hartman system, was in Yuma short tiWe Tues day morning. He was met here by Col. Epes Randolph and by Superin- tendent A. H. Averill. AS president of the California Development Compa- ny, Col. Randolph said that his compa- ny was not through with the work of providing irrigation for the Imperial valley, and that either they would mend the old canal system at cost of $SOO,- 0OC or put in new one more compre@ hensiSe, at cost of 5000, 600.
 The people of Brawley proved last year how much money there can be in cautaIoupes. One mans crop brought him S436.66 an acre net, another man earned S366.66 per acre net, and an- other S341O2 For fourth interest in ? acres one man received S2400 cash, and that was all clear money. The farmers at Calexico have signed up for 250 acres in cantaloupes next year and those at Imperial will plant 300 acres. The plan appears to be to organize melon growers association so that con- tracts with commission houses can be made for future deliveries.
 The Rev. Donald NJ. BrookmaD is tho minister selected by Bishop J. Mills Kendrick to serve the Yuma parish. He is now at Monrovia, Cal, and is ex- pected here sometime in the early au tumn.

Good Work of Assessor.

Capt. c. V. Meden is to be congratu lated on the fact that he was the only county assessor in Arizona whose fig ures were not changed in any way by the territorial board of equalization. He was not reversed on single point while other counties were raised on either cattle, sheep, lands or classes oi mines. The county supervisors are hearing complaints the rest of this month and Capt. Meeden is closely at hand to discuss each objection. The New York store has made objection to the fact that their valuation was this year increased from S6,O00 to $12,OOO.

A Yuma Poet.


 Henry C. WarDack of Yuma fas placed with the Gorham Press of Bes- ton q book of verse which will appear under the title of Cactus Blossoms. He has at this time with another eastern house a second york entitled Lifeis New Psalm. His Cactus Blossoms con- tains thirty-eight of his latest poems, most of which were written in this city. While carrying something of the att mosphere of desert and cacti, these things are neither the subject nor sub- stance of the work; and while general ly it is void of mysticism, there is in portions of it a yelled quality sustained by 6 peculiarly vibrant and joyous strain none the less buoyaht because indefinite.
