RADCLIFFE SQUARE.

A shipment of flowers from the Cap. itol grounds at Sacramento has been received at the Fort Yuma Indian school for planting in a new flower garden which is being made. Through the acquaintance of the editor of the ARIZONA SENTINEL with the Su. perintendent of the State Capitol Grounds George H. Radcliffe, these plants have been procured and it has been proposed that the square in which they are planted be called Rad cliffe Square.
 Mechanics are at work on the build ings of the school remodeling them into mission architecture and the fin ish will be cement pebble dash. When this work is finished and the grounds beautified as planned, the old Fort Hill will present very attractive ap- pearance. This work is to all be fin ished this spring.

FIRE DESTROYS RESIDENCE.

Last Friday morning the residence of Johan Johansen, manager of the Casino and Yuma Theatres, was com pletely destroyed by fire, at least part of which probably could have been saved had 1t not been that the street crossings were so blocked by South ern Pacific freight trains that it was impossible for the fire department to get across the railroad track for such a length of time that the residence was completely gutted before the fire lad dies arrived. The building and con- tents were partially covered by insur- ance. It is foregone conclusion that MT. Johansen will at once rebuild a much handsomer residence, and so construct it that 1t cannot be as easily destroyed by fire as the last one.
