THE IRRIGATING DITCH.
The Doctor is now constructing
a new irrigating ditch, which is
being worked by Indians on the
reservation. Although this ditch
is to irrigate lands given to these
Indians TO raise grains for them
selves, they will not work lick
on it unless paid fifty cents day
and an extra ration. The head Of
the ditch is about two miles
above the landing at 'Corner
Rock" where it intersects what
is called the ''cld ditch" which
will require some work to be put
in good order. The new" ditch
IS to be tunneled through the
range. Thus far the
tunnel is completed only for a
short distance.

FATAL BEATING or A ScHooL-BoY.-A
school-boy named Willie Bruce, twelve years
of age, bright and intelligent, died in Gin
cinnati the other day, suffering terrible
pains in the head. He had no bruises on bis
body, but something was evidently the mat
ter with his brain. When he grew sick he
told his mother that the schoolmaster had
beaten him on the head with big book-the
Bible, perhaps it was. The boy grew worse,
and finally, after two or three weeks Of
agony, he was freed from suffering. The
schoolmaster acknowledged that he was in
the habit Of beating the children on their
heads with books as a means of correction,
but was so much in the habit of it that he
could not recolect this particular case. Ne
yertheless he gave Willie Bruce his death
blow. A heavy book leaves no mark on the
head to tell tales out of school, but it must
greatly disturb the contents of the Uranium,
and it seems sometimes reached the seat of
life.
