Dog PO:sOrer at Work.

In our opinion, about the meanest thing on the face of the earth is the man who deliberately puts out poison fer a dog. A specimen Of this sort has been at his devilsh work in Yuma re- gently. Last Saturday three dogs met death at the poisoner's hands and one of these was the famous dog, Brownie, owned by Donald Mcintyre, and known by nearly every railroad man on this division. Brownie was not vicious or harmful in any way, but on the contra ry was of a kind disposition, very sa- gacious, and probably had better quality of intelligence than the brute who took his life in so cowardly a man her. On Monday Joe I}alsz's dog came under the malignant ban of the name e. less poisoner. There may be an excuse for thus destroying 6 vicious, worthless animal, but a man who would poison a harmless, intelligent dog is a danger ous citizen. Such an act ought to be made felony.

A LEGENDARY MINE.
The Pegleg is One of the Supposed Wonders of Arizona, But
 is Lost.

The Pegleg is one of the best authen- ticated of all the lost mines. It has been located four or five times during the past D years and it's whereabouts is pretty we'll known to within radius of 100 miles. But it is in the midst of the most Godforsaken desert on the face of the earth, and few people who have ever seen it have been able to go back Those who did were always killed in one way or another without revealing their secret, and the Pegleg still remains lost to the world at large. If any one wants to look for it he is welc' me to the following directions: It lays somewhere off the Los Angeles trail between Los Angeles and Yuma. It is dry placer located on the high est of one of the neighboring peaks, presumably not far from the turmoil to Warmers Pass The gold is on the surface and is of peculiar appearance, darker than most placer nuggets, and known among the mining men of the west as sunburmt gold. There are spec linens of it in a number of mining mu- seums. And anyone who can find it and get ont again alive has his fortune de.-New York Topics.
 For hot-air desert yarn, the above l is going sOme.' Does It not seem a little strange to the average reader that the writer of the above does not go at once and bag this mysterious mine and have all the fabulous riches him. self? Why should he write an allur- ing tale Shat may decoy many poor prospector to an awful death, when he could go and lay his hand on this vast wealth without trepidatiOn or danger? He knows where it lies, for he gives directions how to get there. And yet there seems to be a slight discrepancy in the story which causes feeling Of doubt. For instance 1t is averred that those who have seen the Pegleg have been killed in one way or another with out revealing their secret-and yet specimens of Pegleg gold may be found in number of mining museums. We are little skeptical about this matter but still we may be wrong
 Seriously, the Pegleg mine is myth
 -the product of a dream. Pegleg was a blatherskite. There never was such a mine, hence it was never lost.

An op- eration performed May for an abscess beneath the left arm had been followed by erysipelas poisoning.

 pr. Bailey was 65 years of age and had made Yuma his home fer six years, coming from Boston, the city Of his birth.

C., the sixty sixth member of Mezca temple, Mystic Order of Shriners, New York City, the first temple instituted in America, charter member of the Blue lodge of Yuma, and member of the Shriners' Visiting club of Los Angeles.

His Yuma friends will miss the unfailing cheer of his greeting.
 Mrs. Bailey and daughter, Mrs. W. B. Bates, were with the doctor in his last hours.
