their. long march over the desert.
Quintero and the two other vaqueros
at the ranch, were made prisoners
and told that they must act as guides
to show the band about the country
wherever they should wish to go
They were given the usual promise
of good treatment in case they should
act on the square and threatened with
death if they did not Members Of
the band appeared TO have special
grudge against the c. M. Company
and they stated their intentions to Wis
it every c. NJ. ranch in both Sonora
and Lower California and seize every
head of stock and all the other prop
erty that they could make use of.
Quintero managed to escape during
the night and procuring Z horse

to Yuma. Here he reported to Con-
sui Beltran who wired at once to the
Mexican federal commander of the
force at Mexicali.

The Yumn Sun gives the following
story of activity on the delta:
The Mexican population of Yuma

ment Tuesday morning by the re-
port that a band of fifty Insurrectos
had taken possession of the Colony on
the lower Colorado.
An employe of the Sandoval ranch
named Quitero arrived in town early
Tuesday and brought the report.
From his account given to the Mex
can Consul Beltran, the whole
story of the occurrence was obtained
The band started from Canorca, 4
town of Sonora, about $50 miles south
of Tucson, several days ago and ar
rived at the Colony Monday morning
They took possession of the ranch and
helped themselves to whatever they
wanted including a number of horses.

Booze Is Split
Over the Recall

There is lively recall election On
in Imperial today ostensibly to deter
mine whether C. W. Fernald shall De
recalled from the city board of trus-
tees. Fernald, as manager of the
King Cotton hotel sold booze with
meals and in the split Of the booze
forces which came over the question
whether one brewery should dominate
the affairs of the town Fernald be-
came the leader Of one faction, while
the dominating brewery crowd oppos-
ed him and seeks his overthrow.
Growing out Of this came the de-
mand for the recall election and the
result is being watched by temperance
people with a good deal of Indifference
for there appears to be little choice
between-the two crowds.
Other breweries have gained a foot
hold in Imperial and the election today
will chiefly determine the hold that
the one has on the city affairs.

New Department
Aids Rural Forces

BERKELEY, Sept. 19-The Uni
versity of California has announced
the establishment of a new Division
Of Rural Instruction. This new de-
partment will study and aid all the
rural forces which have for their aim
the making of life in the open country
successful and satisfactory.
Elwood Mead has been called to the
leadership of this new division. He
was formerly chief Of the United
States Bureau of Irrigation >Investi-
cations. He is now in Australia,
where, as chairman of the Rivers and
Water Supply Commission of the
State Of Victoria and chief engineer
thereof he has demonstrated his high
qualities Of craftsmanship. His work
in the University of California will
be to deal with questions of farm
credits, irrigation, and drainage in
stitutions, cooperation, and all the
varied political, economic, educational,
social, and religious institutions
which affect rural life.
The establishment Of this professor
ship Of rural instruction was forecast
ed by Dean Thomas F. Hunt when he
announced recently that the College
of Agriculture of the University was
ready to cooperate with any agency,
federal, state, or private, which had
for its main purpose the creation Of
successful family life.
Professor Mead was the first
American to hold professorship in
irrigation engineering. This was from
1886 to 1888, in the Colorado Agricul-
tural College. He was for a portion
of the same time also Assistant State
Engineer of Colorado, where he grad
uated in '82, and at Iowa State Col
lege, where he received the degree Of
c. E. and M. S. in 'S3 and '84, he had
acted as an assistant engineer in the
United States Engineering Corps.

Sulzer's Trial Is
Again in Progress
by United Press Associations.1

by United Press Associations)
ALBANY, Sept. 19-The fitness Of
Senators Frawley and Wagner to sit
in the impeachment court trying Sui
ger, was challenged by the defense
when court convened at noon.
"As presiding judge" ruled Chief
Justice Cullen, 1T is my opinion the
court can not entertain these challeng
es. As senators, believe the persons
challenged are entitled to sit. I don't
think a member of the court could be
legally excused if he wished. How
ever, record the vote taken on this
point"
By a vote the court unanimously
upheld Cullen's opinion.
The court continued session only
until the afternoon.
After an hours session this after
noon the court adjourned to Monday,
with nothing accomplished except
the reading of charges establishing
the regularity of the proceedings.
Sulzer's counsel today is preparing
brief denying every charge made
against the governor. They will also
contend that the constitution does not
recognize that personal offense, as
distinguished from an official offenSe
may disqualify an offender from hold
ing office.
After Cullens decision on the Fraw-
ley Wagner matter was upheld, he
added that he did not believe there
was the slightest base for the claim
that they are unfit to participate in
the trial He expressed the BELIEF
so emphatically that there is little
doubt the ruling was a distinct blow
to Sulzer. When the charges were
overruled, the articles of impeach-
ment were read.
The defense replied by questioning

moving that they be dropped on the
ground that the assembly acted H.

War Veterans Are
Passing Rapidly

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept 19-
More than 1000 Union veterans Of
the Civil war died during the II
months ended Dec 81, last, and still
on the rolls of the Grand Army of
the Republic, according to Alfred B,
Beers, commander-in-chief of the or
ganization, who delivered his annual
address at the reunion here today.
The year started with a member
ship of 191.346. Mr.. Beers said and
I 14,779 were added to the rolls by
muster, transfer and reinstatement.
The losses were as follows: BY
death 1888; by honorable discharge,
435; by transfer, 1854; by suspen-
sion, 6976; by dishonorable discharge,
SO; by delinquent reports, 4283, and by
surrender of charter, 1899, making a
total loss, partially offset by gains,
of 25,898. The rate of mortality, bas
ed on the membership, was 6.28 per
cent.
Another topic discussed at some
length by Mr.. Beers was the alleged
discrimination in railroad rates to
Chattanooga between the Grand
Army and the Confederate veterans,
who held their reunion here in May
1T would appear" he said, "that
the services of the veterans of the
Union army and the consideration
due them are held lightly in the es-
timation of the railroad authorities. y
The railroads of the south, however
gave the same rate to both camps OF
veterans, Mr.. Beers, added, the al
legged discrimination being in the
north and against the Union veter-
ans.
Mr. Beers urged that the pension
committee present bill to congress
granting pension of $75 a month t.
veterans who are blind. He also rec
commended that an effort be made &c
have repealed the law providing that
widows Of veterans who married afte,
5 June II, 1890, should not be entitled
to pensions.
