Downey My the bursting of a big belt wheel at the Yuma Light and Power Compa ny's plant last Thursday evening. Man uel Garcia, fireman, was so badly in jured that he died live hours later and George Downey, engineer, was painful ly but not seriously hurt The accident occurred about 7 o'clock. Without any warning the big- wheel, reevolving at a very rapid rate, burst, hurling its parts with tremendous force in every direction. Garcia was struck In some of the" pieces in the face and head, crushing his skull and tearing the eyes from their sockets. He never regained consciousness. George Downey was struck on the head and arm. He was hurriedly ta ken to .lauman's drugstore, where his injuries were dressed and he was then taken to his home. Manuel Garcia was working later than usual and on another man's time. Had he quit at the usual hour the man whose place he was temporarily filling would perhaps have suffered his fate. There is no known reason for the accident, except, that the wheel must have ben weak or defective at some point. The coroner's jury, however, found no evidence that would justify lixing the blame upon anyone. The untimely death of Manuel Garcia is peculiarly s.;d, as he leaves a large family who were dependent upon hira fur their support. He' was an industri ous, steady workman and the loss to his children and their widowed mother falls heavily upon them. The funeral took place from the Catholic church Saturday morning at 8:30 o'clock, services being conducted by Rev Vandermaesen. The remains were interred in the Caiholic cemetery, Life 100,000 Years Ago. Scientists have found in a cave in Switzerland bones of men, who lived 100,000 years ago, when life was la constant danger from wild beasts. To day the danger, as shown by A. W.

There is more catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other di seases put together, and until the last few years it was supposed to be in curable. For a great many years doc tors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies,, and by con stantly failing to cure with local treat meut, finally pronunced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment So it is that Hall's Catarrh Cure, rnami factured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Tole do", O., is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon ful. It acts directly on the blood an! mucuous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address7!'. J.

(Continued"! The dress of the Yuma "Indian throughout the yaars consisted of breech-cloths. This was formerly of bark, but now it is made of a piece of calico, about a yard and a half in i length and a foot broad. This cloth j is passed between the legs and the j ends held up by belt or strings. The end in front is short, forming a little apron, while the other end often trails on the ground. The Yumas do not weave any cloth or make any article of dress. The women wear a small breech cloth, which is wholly concealed by the heavily fringed kilts, which are worn, one in front-like an apron, ex tending nearly to the knee, the other a trifle heavier and longer behind. These kilt are generally made of the inner bark of' the swamp willow ! cut in strips, and they are held in place by a heavy cord, or a bundle of cords. The hair of these Indjans is cut in front on a lino with the brow's. The ' back hair is allowed to grow on th males and is made into rolls with clay. These are often sold and bought j and added to their own locks. j Their hair is used to secure their j scanty clothing to the top of their , heads when wading or swimming the rivers and lagoons. It is very abun dant and coarse. Animal life in the hair is destroyed by lrcquent rubbing in moiit clay, so that a cake of mad is worn like a turban for several day?. "Widows cut off their hair as a badge of grief. The young men adorn their heads with a tuft o feathers, and even with a bunch of rattlesnake ; fails. : ' The Yumas are an agricultural peo ple, and raise wheat, corn, beans and v,-aterntelons, musk melons, pumpkins and squashes the latter being dried, for winter use. In the months of June or July, or just previous to the annual overflow, rhev besda their nrenarations for tneir annual planting. They "burn the brush and trees on the land likely to J be overflowed' and surround them j with a brush fence. After the subsi dence of the water they sow the seed. The women do the planting. The In dians gather the seed of a species grass called the "Sacaton" which grows in large quantities along the river. The pods of the "Algaroba glandu losa,'' or long-pod mesquite, which is very abundant in this region affords a staple article of food. The "flower of this tree, as of the screw-pod va riety, contain much honey. The In dians gather them, infuse them, and the result is a yery sweet liquor. The ripe pods contain much saccharrine matter and a nutritious pulp. Many tons are sold to the whites for horses and cattle. The seeds or beans are pounded into a coarse meal and made Into mush Avith boiling water. They keep no slock other than horses, and ere very fond of the flesh of the horse or mule, which they prefer to that of cattle. A religious custom requires them to eat the horses of deceased friends. They are, also fond. of f:sn and during the winter catch many to cat and some to sell to the whites. These arc mostly "Colorado Salmon." Specimens weighing 25 pounds are raught with hooks and lines or drag nets in the river and lagoons Visa hooks are made with a twig of mos quito and tipped with cactus thorn. To cook this fish they plaster it over with fine, soft clay. It is thei) lard on a bed of coals and more coals heaped upon it. When thoroughly baked the molds are cut o;ien length wise, and they serve as plate:;. The Indians also boil fish with vegetables but they never cat shell fish The climate Is so mild during the cold season, that nuini protection from the cold night:: not thought of, until about Novemb -r when each fam ily constructs a shelter of some sort against the weal her. Tins protection varies from a low hut m-ide of poles covered and sided with, sticks und earth! to the simple lean-to-of britsli, v hich Is us'iall just cno to break U.-o rigor of the wind.

Their pottery consits of rude, iui- glazed earthcrnware, ollas for hold ing water, storing grain for winter or seed for planting. The Ollas made by the Yumas are superior to any made by other Indians of the lower country. They are ornamented with the an gular figures so characteristic of thei. attainments in the pidoval art, for though the outline of their various vessels are often graceful and true, there seldom if ever, appear any curv ed lines in the ornamentation. The vessels are of many sizes and shapes, ingeniously adapted for the untutored use. These are always fashioned by hand by the women who display much skill. They ai'e decorated with a yet lowisli paint obtainable from the Mo haves; that is, it is yellow when first put on, but turns to reddish brown during the baking. Each large ves scl is exposed to a separate open fire of mesquite coals, which are espec ially adapted for this purpose, giving out and retaining an intense heat and burning slowly. The smaller ones "are put inside the larger, and thus escape the blackening from the smoke and naked flame. When Used for storing seed or food, a cover is sealed on with soft clay, which completely in sures the contents from vermin. Many are used or sold for water- coolers, for which, on account f their porosity, they are particu larly well-fitted for, the seepage keep ing the outside continually moist, and by evaporation reducing the tempera ture of the -water always cool. The Yumas build no boats and no canoes, the river by which they live as well as their mode of life requirin no attempts at navigation. The Col orado can at most places and seasons bo easily crqssed by swimming or' wading. When they wish to cross a river or lagoon, not fordable, they tie their small bundles on their heads by the long back hair, and swim with a hand over hand stroke, or bestride a log. They bring hay to market on rafts constructed by lashing together sever al sheaves or bundles of tall rushes abounding along the river bank, call ed tules, and these form a remarkably buoyant raft. They also float down cOttonwood trunks for posts and raft ers, and wilicw saplings of various sizes for fences and roofing, these they sell to thehites; they cut and market considerable firewood. They arc not a thrifty or provident people and as they receive no annuities or pe cuniary assistance irom t;ie govern ment, there is no yearly increase hi the wealth of the tribe, th's also. ov ing to the custom of burning or de stroying property in the death of one of their number.
