With the building of the Arizona and Cali fornia railroad west through Califor mia from Parker the railroad will pass within 35 miles of the estate, which can be reached over a level road of very easy grades. All traffic to and from the Colorado River and Palo Verde valleys will then be tributary to the Arizona and California railroad
 "The return trip back to Parker was made by the inside road close to the river. The same class of land was passed over as described, the only diff ference being that the lands on the Arizona side are not subject to over flow, being above high water mark. From 125,OOO to 15O,OOO acres are available for irrigation on the Ari- zona side.
 "'Tne old historic but deserted town of La Paz was passed through on the return trip. The old adobe walls are now erumbling to ruin. Large strue- lures erected during the exciting times following the discovery of rich placers in the streasm and creeks there ad- iaeent, are now only ruins. Old resi- dents remember it as one of the live Hest villages of the early days"

homicide, the day following the tragedy

Inverness, Miss.-Seven negroes, FIVE
men and two women, are in the Gala
boose here, charged with the assassina-
tion of b. \. Bradley, a prominent and
wealthy planter living near here. They
were arrested after being tracked down
by bloodhounds, led by officers and fol-
lowed by-a posse of heavily armed citi-
zens. 1t is feared that the whole crowd
will be lynched, for the town is filed
with excited men, who have been held
in leash all night by the conservative
leaders of the community, and also by
the fact it is not definitely known that
these negroes actually committed the
crime for which they are held.
The dogs are out on another trail, and
until that posse returns IT is probable
that no action will be taken against the
prisoners.
