Jumps From Bridge
 Into Colorado River
(Friday's Yuma Examiner)

From time immemOrial bridges over rivers have seemed to be favorite sui eide spots for people all over the coun- try, and this morning a suicide-a stranger sought and found his death by jumping from the s. P. bridge into the Colorado river.
 It was about zoo o'clock this morn ing when a stranger appearing to be about 35 or forty years of age, dress ed khaki pants and with blue coat on, walked out from the California end of the bridge and jumped off into the muddy water below.
 He was seen by Albert Hodges and quite number of workmen who were near, and all of whom ran to see if the man came up.
 When they arrived on the bridge the man was swimming toward the California shore and yelling Justify for help. When he was within about thir- ty feet of the shore, however, it seem- ed that he found bottom for a moment but it must have been quick sand for he sank from sight and was not seen by the mortified watchers above again.
 The above all happened so quickly that it was impossible to secure 9 rope to throw to the man, and as the Colorado very rarely gives up it's dead, it is doubtful if the body is ever re- covered or the mans identity estab- lished.
 All the description those who saw him could furnish outside of that gi,, en above, was that he had about two weeks growth of whiskers.

Joe Dillon is Now
 Clerk of Court

Phoenix, Feb. 16.-Joe P. Dillon of Prescott will be the clerk of the Ari- zona Supreme Court.
 This announcement was made today, the appointment having been made this morning by Judges Franklin, Ross and Cunningham after a conference at the capitol building.
 It is also stated by the three judges that the salary of the clerk will be fixed at $2400 per annum until such a time as the legislature met and settled upon the amount to be paid.
 There were three candidates for the Supreme Court clerkship, Joe Dillon, of Prescott, Frank De Souza of Phoen- ix and Howe of Tombstone.
 The problem was a difficult one to solve. Judge Ross favored Dillon, Judge Cunningham had Howe as a favorite, while Judge Franklin desired the selection of De Souza Many con- ferences were held at which the veX- dI1OuS problem was discussed, but no agreement could be reached and until the announcement was made today it appeared as if some heretofore unmen- toned candidate would be the winner. At the final conference this morn- ing, Judge Cunningham announced that his tOwnsman, MT. Howe had with drawn from the race. A ballot was then taken on the clerkship matter, Judges Cunninghamm and Ross voting for. Dillon and Chief Justice Franklin for De Souza.
 Later in the day Dillon's bond was fixed at 5000, being filed this after noon with Secretary of State Osborn.

Has Gold Coin
 Valued at $1,OOO

Tucson, Feb. K6.-A rare $10 gold piece which numismatists declare to be worth from $500 to 5000, is in the possession of O. F. LaRue, a Tucson carpenter, who has just become ac- quainted with the value of the coin and is holding it for future disposition.
 The gold piece is considered so valuable for the reason that there are but five others in the United States, which lack the standard verbiage, "In God We Trust" The five are in the possession of coin-collectors who now prize them highly.
 These six gold pieces are part of a gold issue sent out from the Ohio mint in 1S40. The omission was due to an error and as soon as it was dis covered the entire issue was recalled. In the course of a few years all but six had been accounted for. LaRue says this coin was given him at the Bremerton navy yard in Washington where he worked several years.

Colonel COggins Is
 Adjutant General
Governor Hunt Makes Appointment of
 Popular National Guardsman.

Phoenix, Feb 16-Considering the
 fitness of the man far less than his
 party political affiliations, Governor
 Hunt this morning caused to issue 8
 commission appointing L. w. Coggins adjutant general of the National Guard of Arizona. The office carries with it the rank of colonel, and next to the governor himself, the command of the entire militia of the new state.
 The appointment came as some thing of a surprise to those not ia miliar with the real facts, but meets with the universal approval of the combined National Guard and of the public generally, irrespective of poli- tics. In fact, the governor had an nounced that he believed this was a position where politics should not be considered at all.
 It was in September of last year that Governor Sloan revoked the com mission of Colonel Coggins, and ap- pointed Major B. M. Lamson to the position of adjutant general. This followed the selection of Colonel Cog gins as president of the Arizona State hood league, an organization of pro- gressive republicans and democrats, who stood for the constitution in it's entirety, including the recall of the judiciary For some time previously it had been expected that Governor Sloan would take some action as op- posed to Coggins, but the matter hung fire until the last straw came with the placing of Coggins at the head of the progressive organization.
 Than Colonel Coggins there is prob ably no man in Arizona better fitted for this most responsible position. He enlisted in this city in Go. B on May 19,1893; was advanced to the rank of lieutenant October IS, 1894, and to the captaincy on April II, 1896.
 Under Governor Murphy he was commissioned inspector of small arms practice with rank of major, on Au- gust II, 1898, and as captain and ad- jutant of the 1st infantry on June 12, 1903. On May 19, 1905, he was again appointed by Governor -Kibbey to the office of inspector of small arms prac- tice with rank of major On Febru- ary 6, 1908, he was commissioned by Governor Kibbey adjutant general with rank of colonel, and recommis- stoned by Governor Kibbey on March 23, 1909. This office he held without Governor Sloan, as stated.

KetCherSide Appointed;
 Treasurer's Bond Fixed
(From Fridays Examiner)

For the past two days the new board of supervisors have been endeavoring to agree on a suitable bond for Coun- ty Treasurer Sturges.
 This afternoon the matter was final ly settled by Treasurer Sturges filing a suitable bond in the sum of S50,000 with John Gandolfo, John Stofella, E.. G. Caruthers and Joe Henry as the principal signers.
 There are others on the bond, but only for comparatively small amounts.
 Dr. E. B. Ketcherside was also ap- pointed county health officer and county physician.
 The matter of the poor farm ap pointments was laid on the table for the present and when the new board does get to this matter, it is under stood that the poor farm will either be started on a self-sustaining basis, or practically so, or else rented and the county poor boarded out, as it is the consensus. of opinion of the new board that the poor farm has been costing entirely too much money.
 There are several other appoint ments to come up later, but this was about the gist of the days business.
 Now that the matter of the treasur- CTS bond has been finally settled for the present, it is thought that the board will be able to get down to bus mess.

Chartered a
 Train to leave

Eagle Pass, Texas, Feb. 16.-A chartered train of refuges from Tore on arrived here today after being for three days on the way.
 The railroad refused to guarantee safe passage and the passengers hired their own construction gang. The torn up tracks were relaid and the burned bridges rebuilt.
 The rebels stopped the train seV- eral times, but it was allowed to pro- ceed.
 The passengers say the country to the north of Torreon is overrun by leaderless bands of rebels but there is no anti-American sentiment.
 Despite this many Americans are apprehensive and are leaving that country.

True Honesty.

"To be honest is more than to re- frain from stealing another mans purse, more than paying the exact number of dollars you owe. Honesty means far more than not defrauding other people financially. It means nothing less than not defrauding your. self by your own prejudices and judg- ments. It means dealing fairly and squarely with yourself; looking at yourself with the same eyes with which you dissect the conduct of your associates. ."-CIaYa K. Beyliss.

Yankees Have Good
Bunch of BaSerunners

When Manager Harry Wolverton
sends his men to the post in April,
there is one thing he can bank on, and
that's fast base running team. OF
course they will have to get on the bsaes
before they can steal them. The Yam
KEGS list Of fast men stands out.
Harry Wolter is one of the best base
runners in his league, and Hal Chase
can go as fast as any man on the team
he led last year. There are a number
of players who are Of the opinion that
Chase Is the swiftest man on the nine.
There is nothing the matter with Birdie
Cree as a base runner. He led the
Yankees in stealing bases last season.
Bert Daniels Is also fast man. Dolan,,
in the few games he played, looked
to be speedy one, and Jack knight is
no snail when 1t comes to going around.
The Yankees also have a pitcher who
can go some, and he Is Ray Caldwell.
Those who watched the latter say he
can go down to first base about as fast
as any man in the business.
Base running Is one Of the big factors
in winning ball games. That kind Of
work does more to put an opposing team
in the air than anything else. A catch
er knows that he has to be on the
job all the time when he has three or
four men who can run bases
There need be no fear of the Yankees
getting on. Wolverton can rest at ease
m that. The Yanks proved last season
that they were Mercurys when they got
on. Watch 'em the coming season.
