WARD TURNS
TRICK ON EDUCATORS

There is nothing that savors of an
untutored mind in the case of the
Wallapai Indian boy examined by me
at Clarktsdale last week for robbing
the postoffice," said U. S. Commits.
sioner Rutherford of Jerome
This official went into details of tn
daring deed of this youth of only ID
years, and stated that over 81 1000 in
checks had been taken from the box
on the inside and while in the posses
sion Of the Indian, some neat pen
manship in forgery, and also some
crude conceptions of manipulating
the get-rich-quick trick were disclos-
ed. The names of the persons to
whom the various sums were drawn,
were forged on the back as cleyerly
as by an expert, and held good in be-
ing cashed. The boy, however, went
too farin several cases, by substitut-
Ing the signature of the manager of
a big mining company for that of the
one to whom the check was issued
The same name was placed on the
back of the paper to certify to it's
genuine nature. This conflicting Chi
rcSlaphy exposed the game and the
arrest followed. The boy admitted
his guilt and later conducted officers
to four different caches where, all the
missing checks were recovered The
boy was educated by the government
and seems to be making good speed

inclined of the pale faced race.-Pres-

Got there too Late.


Dan Mcmahon, who left here
short time ago in company with Tom
Flanagan and a couple of burros,
with the intention of taking up and
prospecting a promising claim in
MOhave county, near the Sheep Trail
mine, which he had located a few
years ago but had to abandon because
conditions were not propitious at the
Tim for continuing work, returned
70 Parker last week looking very
detected. He found when he got
there that some one had located the
claim only two days in advance Of
his arriva' and posted a notice there
OF, which of course was a caution to
anybody else having designs on that
calm to sheer off He read the
Lotice and the longer he looked at it
the more he thought of the untold
wealth it covered which might have
been hisn for the taking of it, to
say nothing of all the trouble he had
been put to, hence his detection. So
fIaping mental maledictions upon
the absent locator who "beat him to
it, and cussing himself for his own
blooming hardness, he turned his
hurros about and made tracks for
Parker, resolving to go back to the
farm" as the only place becoming
miner who had drifted into such
tardy ways, but evidently forgetting
it is quite natural that fellow driv-
ing pair Of burros before him
should always be behind

CULVER WAKES UP.

PARIS, Dec "a Figaro article
captioned: "Gulliver Wakes Up," com
ments extensively on President Will
sons message, declaring it to be
animated by righteous anger, not al
together free from metaphysics. The
article says: "The more one reflects,
the more convinced he becomes that
the economic and political absorp-
tion of America is one of great
and secret design on the German1c
Empire, and consequently nothing is
more inevitable than an eventual con-
flict between Germany and the
United States" Other papers ap-
prove the message.

PETITIONS
FOR RECALL
ARE ELIMINATION OF AWARD
ING OF ROAD CONTRACT No. 1
TO o. AND c. COMPANY; START
ED AT MEETING.

Petitions asking the board of super.
visors to call an election which has
for its object the recall of County SUI
pervisors J. A Donovan and J. H.
Shanssey, were launched last night
at a meeting of farmers held at the
Rood school house, and the same will
be circulated in Yuma county from
this time forward until they shall
have either been signed by the requi-
site number of names to effect a re-
call election or it shall have been
demonstrated that 25 per cent of the
electors who voted for the office of
supervisor at the last general cleo
tion are not in favor of the recall of
the officials named
The petitions are the elimination
of the somewhat bitter fight that was
made by a certain element to induce
Supervisors Donovan and Shanssey
not to sign the o. & c. road con-
tract. They were drawn Friday by
Attorney P. T. Robertson. and yes
terday James Meadows, one of the
leaders in the movement, took copies
to the meeting which was called for
the Rood school house last night.
The morning Sun received no report
from this meeting, but presumes it
was held according to arrangements
made during the last days of the
week.
The constitutional amendment on
the recall proposition provides that
at least % per cent of the qualified
electors who voted for the officer de-
sired to be recalled must sign a petit
tion asking for such recall before an
election can be held Provision is also
made for the payment by the county
of 5000 to each official named in such
recall petition, which is for the pur-
pose of defraying the expenses. neces-
sary for him to incur during such
recall election, this money to be paid
after the election is called. In the
instance at hand, it is stated by some
of those who have given the matter
attention, about $50 names will be
required on the petition before an
election can be had.-Yuma Sun, 9Th

SOUND ADVICE.

Opportunity is knocking at your
door
Why continue to snub her?
Why not heed her advice?
What you possess today Is evil
of what you did without yesterday.
And in the years to come, in ac-
cordance with what you are saving
now, you will be financially indepen-
dent or financially broke"
What will it be with you?
Are you better able to breast the
storms of life now than you will be
25 or so years hence?
Do without the luxuries now SO
that you may have them in later life.
If you are interested in getting on
in the world We would be pleased to
have you call. Yours truly,

An Extraordinary Game.

The baseball fans were out in force
TO the recreation grounds last Sun
day afternoon to witness a game of
baseball between the Indians and the
"Savages' or white boys, 1t was
eithter ra ,tling good game or else
very bum one-depending entirely
from what standpoint ones inference
Is drawn. The score at the end of
the game stood 56 to 6 in favor of
the Indians. If big figures are any
criterion for good playing and home
runs were not cheap-to be had mere.
ly for the taking of them--then both
sides. the losers as well as the win
ners, played remarkably good game.

DEMAND FOR TUNGSTEN ORES.

Tie intense demand for the ores
of tungsten during the past few
mouths has stimulated much interest
IN prospecting for tungsten and in
the purchase of tungsten mines. As
yet, however, there is large untitled
demand for properties both in the
prospecting and developed stages
showing ores of tungsten of suffi-
cient value to work 49,
During the past few weeks the
Arizona State Bureau Of Mines has
had inquiry from responsible pur-
chasers in the east desiring to pur-
chase tungsten mines, and the Bureau
Will be pleased to communicate the
details of any tungsten properties
thar may be called to it's attention.
ArizcGa should be ready to pick
the fruit when it is ripe, and the
time is now ripe for the sale of tung-
stem properties. Those having such
properties for sale should communi-
cate at once with Professor Charles
F. Willis, director Arizona State Bu-
reau Of Mines, Tucson, Arizona.
