elsewhere, have gotten themselves
 into pretty serious trouble at Cliff
 ton. It seems that they journeyed
 to the town aforeside, and hanging
 out their shingle proceeded at
 once to convince the local mer-
 chants and liverymen at Clifton
 that their horses neened medical
 treatment very bad, and proceeded
 to administer the said treatment,
 with dire results to the poor dumb
 animals. The two medicos were
 "pinched" and landed in the 'iug," and on hearing were bound over
 to the next grand jury of the new county when it shall convene, and at such time their stock of veterin- ary knowledge will be aired, and the iustness of their cause decided upon. From the crowd which gathered, however, in front of the county bastile, it is safe bet that their case will attract much at- tention.
 Yuma Sun: Jim Meadows, the ostrich farmer, is back from Los Angeles, where he and his family, by whom he is accompanied, spent a month. He comes back with increased enthusiasm regarding the ostrich industry in this section, because, he declares, he learned several new things, and all he learned was favorable. In the first place, he sold his seasons crop of feathers, and was paid therefor top-notch figure. This was due, says MT. Meadows, to their superior quality, and this is attributable to Yuma's climate, particularly and peculiarly adapt ed to the growing of fine feathers. Since fine feathers are generally conceded to make fine birds, it follows logically that the Yuma section is a fine place for birds. If the success which has attended Mir. Meadows venture into the ostrich industry is any criterion, that business-already wonderful ly developed in Salt River Val ley-has a great future hereabout. At the present time there are only about fifty ostriches in Yuma Val ley, owned by two companies, but the increase of these, regardless of the addition that will doubtless come of others going into the busi ness, will soon make the number a good deal greater.
