Gastronomic Sensation in Yuma|
By Major Ben c. Truman.

Away back in 1876 a man named Tur-
pin established restaurant in Yuma,
and among Turpin's original employees
| was a waiter named Job Straight, who
could shoot with great precision, play
draw poker with unvarying success and
pack eighteen plates of miscellaneous
grub upon one bare arm at one time.
He could execute all the prevailing
| melodies either on piano or guitar, and
| he possessed the most tremendous BARI
| tone voice ever heard in Arizona-why,
men sometimes went to Turpin's Just
| to hear Job deliver gastronomic orders.
No perfect description can be given of
| that voice, however. except to say that
at times it really did make things clat-
ter. When a man ordered sausage and
Job asked Ball or link?" the three
simple words actually made the glasses
on the side tables Jingle and once near
ly scared to death a valetudinarian who
had stopped over at Turpin's on ac-
| count of the dryness of the climate.
Once a fresh young cowboy from near
Gila Bend entered Turpin's for a
Christmas dinner, who took a startling
concoction as an appetizer and then
dropped thudlike at table and rough
ly. shouted to Straight
Say, there, Badly! Bring me some
grub!"
Job was at first appalled,; but, recov-
ering his reserve limit OF equanimity,
he brushed an imaginary bread crumb
from the frescoed tablecloth and whisk-
ed a bill Of fare from the variegated
castor and placed it before the new
young Terror of the Bend.
Take 1t away!" cried the latter in
tones that could give Straight's ordi-
nary everyday baritone q castle and
checkmate 1t in five moves: 81 don't
want to read your darned old tract. I
don't care a darn who came into the
world To save sinners. Bring me some
grub-g-r-u-b! Grub! Grub. GRUB"
What do You want?"
"Rattlesnakes on toastl And | want

whats that?"
"rve given my order. you baldheaded
old cigar store sign, and I want you
10 get move on yourself. y. d. q.
Rattlesnakes on toast"
"Rattlesnakes ON toaRtl" cried Job
to the cook. IN accents that would have
paralyzed Carl Formes had that old
basso profundo been living and heard
them.
"Rattlesnakes on toast" was the re-
yerberatlng response from the cook
upon receiving tho order.
There were "A dozen or more people
IN the restaurant ana their eyes were

that they much resembled the Wand
ordered; and, after placing them in the
frying pan, he stuck his head out of
the kitchen and shouted to Job:
You want them rattles rare or we'll
done?"
The waiter repeated the interrogatory
in cyclonic way, and the Terror re-
piled, in as violent a tone and manner
as he could command: We'll done,
with plenty of gravy and Chilli Colo
RADIO!
And then Job thundered to the cook:
well done, with plenty of Chill Colo
RADIO, hot as hell, and moccasin gravy
on the side and brochettes of sand
crane livers and ella monster lights!'
There was an instantaneously dead
silence in that restaurant, and all eyes
We're again cast upon the Terror and
the waiter. The former turned ashen
pale and begun to fidget perceptibly,
while Job gazed at his victim until he
began to weaken.
Maybe you don't think we can serve
all the market affords" muttered Job;
maybe you don't like moccasin gravy
or brochettes la mode-maybe you
amt hungry"
Say! You've got mel amt hungry,

that burned order old man. and I'll
pay all expenses and set 'em up as long
as anybody can drink Beg pardon,
gentlemen, all. My first attempt to be
a Terror-pardon me, gentlemen, it's
my last"
And then he handed his revolver to
Job, and added:
Take that pistol. old man, as a pres
ent, and promise me that the next time
any darned fool comes In here and calls
for rattlesnakes on toast you'll shoot
him dead"
But Straight was too raving mad all
the way through to willingly emerge
from a situation only tolerably trlum-
phant So he took the weapon, Just as
the order was being placed on the table.

TOO MUCH MONEY
ON THIS NEGRO.
Search Reveals That He Had a Basketfu
of Bills of Small Denominations
About Him.

TRENTON. Aug. 14.-Arrested on a train
here for carrying concealed deadly weap-
ons, the outline of a revolver having been
seen through his clothing. a negro giving
his name as Thomas Williams and his
home as Lynchburg, Va, was found to be
literally loaded down with ''greenbacks."
At the police station, where he was
searched, the money, mostly in one dollar
bills, filled a waste basket, ~aggregating
$3.50. with fifty-eight cents in coins. A gold
watch and a necklace made of silver dol
lars were also found on bin.
Williams declared that he made the
money working In a New York brickyard,
and that he purchased the jewelry and re-
volver, but he had no more than said so
when a telephone message was received
from Pleasure Bay asking the police to
look out for a negro answering his descrip-
ton who had robbed Joseph Gordon, an
amusement promoter, of $500. Williams de-
MED the theft, but was held pending in
vestigation. Gordon was notified to come
here to identify the prisoner. The negro
who robbed Gordon had been employed by
him as a target in a baseball throwing
gallery.

cipant in a Crime That Cost
Five Lives,

nection with the destruction of the

RED BANK, Aug. 14.-Some of the
lo~ng-headed, far-seeing Newarkers have
recognized that the country around here
Is the garden spot of New Jersey. Every
tree ald plant t~esti1es to the fertility of
the soil. You will not find finer corn
fields nor heavier laden apple trees any
whore. But for beauty of scenery, soil
and climate the tongues of land that point
northeast between the north and south
Shrewsbury rivers cannot be excelled. 1t
is called "Rumsen's Neck" The meek
portion of the name undoubtedly refers TO
the land formation. The "Rumsen' sug-
gests the name of the original owner, but
a historian of Red Bank says IT. got the
name "Ramsen" because the Indians bar
tered the LAND for a barrel of rum, and he
added: You kin bet 1t was the genuine
rum, better han the pizen we get these
days. nnG this with n longing expression
as If re was waiting for an invitation to
be 'pizened."
Running over the highest points of
Rumson Neck is a drive appropriately
called Ridge road, and at the highest
point on this road is the new palace of
Thomas N. McCarter, of Newark. 1t Is
built of brick and terra Gotta, and conf
mands a view in all directions that Is
superb. To the northwest the Navesink
or Shrewsbury River, to the southeast the
Shrewsbury River, to the east, but two
and a half miles away, the broad expanse
of ocean, which can be viewed from
Sandy Hook to Asbury Park. One en-
trance to Mr.. McCarter's vast estate Is at
Fair Haven, three-quarters of a mile away,
and another entrance. a quarter mile In
the opposite direction, opens on the
famous Rumson road.
This Rumson road contains more mag
nificent summer homes with grounds laid
ont on a grand scale than any drive in the
State. Here are the beautiful residences
OF Robert II. and Uzal H. McCarter, built
within the last seven years, and combining
in themselves all the architectural beauty
and Injurious appointments both for
health and comfort that wealth can secure
and good taste suggest.

HIS SKULL FRACTURED
WHEN HORSE KICKS HIM.
Pedestrian Saves George Beck from
Possible Death as He Falls
Under Hoofs.

With his skull fractured as a result
of being kicked by the horse he was
driving, George Beck, 30 years old, of
1896 Grove street, is in a critical con-
dition in the City Hospital and chances
for his recovery are considered slight.
Since the accident Beck has been in a
semi-conscious condition.
Beck was driving the horse in Smith
street and stepped from the wagon to
tighten a part of the harness. Before
he succeeded in doing so the animal
kicked Beck, who was bending low to
grasp a strap he was about to fasten.
Beck fell to the ground, and a citizen
who was passing perhaps saved the
victim from being kicked to death or
run over, for his body was partly UNI
der the horses hoofs and partly under
the vehicle.
Word was telephoned to the Fourth
Precinct station, and its ambulance
took Beck to the City Hospital.
