Yuma Prison

Thomas H. Rynnig, ex-captain ol the Arizona rangers, and now superintendent of the territorial penitentiary at Yuma, succeeding Jerry Millay, arrived in Tucson Monday and left in the afternoon on the Burro for NogaleS, where he took charge of an escaped con- vict to return with to Yuma.
 The man that Captain Rynning was after is named Valenzuela.
 He was trusty in the peniten- tiory with only five more months to serve.
 Captain Rynning was in Los Angeles at the time the man es- capped, and immediately upon re-. ceiving the information, wired the Sonora authorities, with whom he is very friendly, to look out for the man. This they did, and Valenzuela was soon in custody.
 Captain Rynning stated that the prison at Yuma was at the pre- sent time in an overcrowded con dition, as far as cell room is con cerned.
 Their are now between $50 and 36o prisoners in the pen, and, after the coming term ot court Rynning stated that the number would reach considerable over 400.
 When asked regarding the new penitentiary that the last legisla- ture provided should be built in Florence, Rynning stated that work would undoubtedly be start ed this year.
 The new penitentiary will be much larger and in every way superior to the present one at Yuma, and according to Rynning, is badly needed.
 It will also be much more conven- tent to the various peace officers throughout the territory, as it is geographically more centrally To- cated. Democrat.

Money Restored

NJ. J. Cunningham, cashier ol the Bisbec Bank, has just receiv- ed from the United States govern ment SI,ISo,to be credited to the account of a German women who had large sum of money in her house when in was destroyed by a recent fire.
 On the day following the fire the woman,a widow, appeared at the Bank of Bisbee, foll owed by two small children and carrying in her hand plate, on which was heaped up some burned paper money. Go ing to Mir. Cunningham, the woman between sobs explained that she had ST, 300 in curreny and gold coin hiden away in her house, the saw ing of lifetime, and all that rc- mained of the paper money was the ashes on the plate.
 The banker looked at the embers, but was unable to find anything that resembled q piece ol paper money. He told the woman, however, that he would take the matter up with the authorities at Washington and see what could de done. He did so. and received a reply telling him to forward the remains, as the gov crnment Xpcrts might be able to identify the remains and pay for them. This was done q few weeks ago, and the next heard was yes terdav, when the banker received a draft for ST, ,ISo on the treasury of the United States, and few of the embers were returned, on which the government officials stated that they could not possibly make iden- tihcations. They only loss which the woman will suffer is $ISo. Yuma Examiner.

A Busy Apple Tree.

Three crops of apples harvested and the prospects good for fourth crop is the remarkable record made by $. P. Huss, prominent or chardist oI the Yuma valley from q cluster ei Maiden Blush apple trees.
 The first crop was picked in May, the second crop in August, and the third crop is now about the size of walnuts and will mature in another month. Blossoms are again appearing on the trees for q fourth crop.
 It might be presumed that in another year, with the aid ol Yuma county, five crops of apples are not beyond the realm of possibility Yuma Sentinel.

The election inspectors of the twenty
ninth election district of the sixteenth
assembly district in Brooklyn have been
sitting around the polling place ever since
615 O'Clock this morning with nothing to
do but twiddle their thumbs, for every
voter in the district had cast his vote
within fifteen minutes after the polls had

This district lies just south of Prospect
Park. 1t has the proud distinction OF be-
ing one of the districts with the largest
territory and the smallest number of
voters in the world. Altogether its reg

McGovern. They all work in Prospect
Park and live in about the only house in
the district.
At 6:l5 o'clock all the votes in the dis
trict had been cast and the election in
spectors got up and started to go home.
But there was a policeman on the job
and he knew the election law better than
the inspectors. When they started to go
he said that if they went he would have
10 arrest them. He said that the law
said the polls must be kept open until 5
o'clock, ard that as long as he was

the law the law was going to be obeyed.

THE TENDENCY IN MARYLAND

So far as received the returns
from the various state. municipal
and county elections which arr In
progress in fourteen states today in
dictate an interest in local rather
than national questions.
The early morning prospect was
favorable TO largc votes in Clevc-
land, Ohio, where Mayor johnson
and Representative Burton are en-
gagged in a political duel which chal-
lenges the attention of the entire
country: in New York county,
where the perennial fight against
Tammany is again on; in Sa t Lake
and San Francisco, where local con-
ditions are acute, and in Kentucky
and Maryland. in both of which
states the republicans are making
strenuous efforts to disp.ace the
present democratic senator's with
republican successors.
The general situation is such as
to justify the conclusion that the
issues for the national campaign
are yet to b. formulated.
