Away back in 1884 John B. Kirchell,

never cut his hair or shave his whis-

faithfully, and his hair is now two

filed preliminary proceedings against
an insurance company. The payment
of S400 accident policy is demanded.
The petition does not specify that
Mills was a victim of an accident, but
recites that he was found hanging

the base ball park with rope tied

 By Tom Flanagan, Johnson's Chief Handler-"Johnson in the seventeenth round That is how I pick the big fight It should be the best heavy weight battle staged in the past ten years; in fact, the best battle between the big fellows since the days of the fighting under the Horton Law in New York, when Jeff, Fitz, Sharkey and the rest of the old heroes were in their prime.
 By Al Williams, Flynn's Chief Spar ring Partners-"Flynn is in wonderful condition; confident as to the result and I will be badly fooled if he loses. I was with Jim when he whipped Al Kaufman and Morris and he is easily 50-per cent better trained and at least a B per cent better fighter"

OH! HOW IT RAINED!

Jupiter Plu certainly came through today, and it started just as the whis- ties blew the glad tidings that the water had reached the Arizona end of the Siphon and Oh! How it did rain, as if in protest just to show that artificial rain was a superfluous en, tity, and certainly if an occasional rain of today's proportions reached Yuma no irrigation would be neces- sary, but such rains come but once or twice a year at most and are rather an aggravation to the farmer, and very often cause great loss. Yuma de- bends entirely upon irrigation water for crops.

BOLT OF LIGHTNING
 HITS POSTOFF|CE

During the electrical storm at nine o'clock this morning, and when the whistles were blowing and screeching as an announcement that the water had reached the Arizona end of the. Siphon, lightning struck the Yuma postoffice, and found it's lodgment in the main office, putting out all the lights and burning out the fuses.
 Postmaster Chandler and his as sistants were kept busy for few min- utes lodging big ball of fire which in rapid succession chased one and then the other of them about the room.
 At the close of the performance Miss Laura Ward, the young lady who distributes mail, and adorns the gen. eral delivery window at other times, was found stranded on the top of big pile of mail sacks and Mr. Chandler was discovered climbing the front win- dow glass.
 Luckily no one was injured but the experience will not soon be forgotten.
