Guns Turned on Forts.

Meanwhile, many German guns had
been turned on the forts, especially
Maizeret and Marchovelette. The men in
them. armed with guns Of much smaller
caliber than the Germans could offer but
feeble resistance. Maizeret, in fact. fired
only about ten shots. while receiving no
less than LOO shells at the rate Of
twenty minute.
AT Marchovelette seventy-five men
persisted at the batteries and both forts
soon surrendered"
The other works, however, were still
holding out when the army left town. So
much confidence had been placed In Gen.
Michel and his staff's ability to hold the
fortress that the eventual retirement of
the forces from it had in no way been
provided for. and as a result the great
est confusion ensued.

CHA 'sQUATTERs' LOSE
 LAND; APPEAL MADE

Some days ago the Secretary of the Interior ruled upon the cases of Dr. l.. T. Jackson, Mrs. Hattie Babb, Geo. w. Sells, R. V. Sells and other who are known as the "squatters" on the Yuma project, between the Colorado and Gila rivers, just below the Laguna Dam, and through the Reclamation Service these 'squatters" have been notified that they have no possessory rights and must move on at once. Most of the people affected by this ruling moved upon the lands in ques- tion in 1906 and 1907 although some of them went at a later date. All )f them have lived there continuously urOn their claims for several years, devoting all of their time to the i'm provement and cultivation of their hold ings. The secretary's ruling comes as severe blow to them as they will not be compensated for any of the Improvements which they have made.
 As the secretary's ruling stands. all these lands will probably be thrown open ,o entry by the drawing of lots after the farm unit for the Yuma pro ject is established and announcement made of the amount which must be paid for the building charge.
 Those affected are appealing from the secretary's decision with the hope that it may be reversed and that they may be allowed to retain at least those parts of their holdings embracing their most valuable improvements and cultivated areas.

HARRY STEELE SHOT
 SELF ACCIDENTALLY

Harry Steele of Bard, while out hunting Sunday afternoon with par ty of friends, met with a very serious accident. While putting his shotgun into the wagon, the gun went off un- expectedly the shot striking him in the arm about three inches below the shoulder.
 He was brought to Yuma immedi- ately and Drs. E. B and J. A. Ketch erside made an X-ray examination. The bone was found to be so badly shattered that three inches of it had to be removed and there were several flesh wounds on the chest which while not serious are very painful.
 He is now resting easily at the Will son house, and, although three inches of bone has been removed, he will have partial use of his arm. Unless more complications set in, amputation will not be necessary.

 The most phenomenal play of the game was a steal from first base 10 second by one of the most clever base ball stealers ever known, MT. O.. A. Wadin. MT. Wadin started to slide on his nose just as soon as he had left first base; but, nevertheless, he was called safe on second.
 Owing to the fact that the married men played such good ball, and won over the single men at such big score they are open to take on any team from the White Sox to the Boston Cubs.
 The batteries of the game were |: Married men, Pryor and Dunne; sin gle men, Sawyer and Maddox.
 The real object in playing this big game was to see who would buy the banquet to be given at the Elks' club rooms on the last meeting night in January, which is the big social night, and on that night the married men will make merry, while the single men will settle" for same.

Many people take it after they have had the grip. Their convalescence is slow. They have suffered along for a month or two, without any signs of complete recovery. Then they resort to Peruna as a tonic, with splendid results.
 Mrs. Jane Gift, R. F. D. 1, Athens, Ohio, whose portrait appears above, writes: "I think I would have been dead long ago if it had not been for Peruna. Six years ago had la grippe very bad. The doctor came to see me every day, but gradually grew worse. I told my husband I thought l would surely die if I did not get relief soon.
 "One day I picked up the news paper and accidentally found a testi- monial of a woman who had been cured of grip by Peruna I told my husband l wanted to try it. He went directly to the drug store and got a bottle of Peruna. I could see the im- provement in a very short time ana was soon able to do my work I con- tinued using it until I was entirely cured"
 MT. Victor Patneaude, BPS Madison St, Topeka, Kas., writes: Twelve years ago had a severe attack of la grippe and I never really recovered my health and strength, but grew weaker every year, until was unable to work.
 "Two years ago I began using Pe- runa and it built up my strength so that in couple of months I was able to go to work again. This winter I had another attack of la grippe, but Peruna soon drove it out of my sys- tenn. My wife and I consider it a household remedy"

MARRIED ELKS BEAT BACHELOR
 BROTHERS IN AN UNUSUAL CAME

A phenomenal game of baseball was played at the Yuma Athletic Park Sunday, which resulted in the defeat of the single men at the hands of the married men of the Yuma Lodge of Elks, No. 476. The game started promptly at 30 D. m.. and it was evi- dent to the vast multitude which at tended the game that after the first inning was played that the single men did not have a ghost of a chance.
 Our Honorable Mayor J. H. Shans- sey pitched the first ball and stare a game that will long be remembered by those who saw it. Although defeat ed by score of 13 to 5, the single men were game.
