Artesian we,Is in Colorado.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1lth.-The
Iai6,tne's Washington special says:
Hill says his measures for provid-
ing for the sinking of two expert
mental artesian n wells in the present
upwatered district of Colorado,
will amply repay the Govern
ment in the increased value
of Colorado pasture lands, If they
are passed, and the expert
ments should prove successful.
Hill says: "a very few men now
practically own all the pasturage
in Colorado, by reason of the own
ership of river lands. If artesian
wells should prove successful,
vast area of back country Will be
made available for pasturage and
settlement by men who Will take
up small tracts Of land"

cross-examination of Mrs. Hayden,
when Mr.. Waller asked the follow

you needn't answer this ques-
ton until you are told to by
the Court. Mr.. Hayden, you say,
is your husband, the father of your
three children, and he has been a
devoted husband to loving wife
for between eight and nine years.
You have constantly maintained
pleasant relations, and there has
been and is now the utmost conf
dence existing between you. You
are convinced Of his innocence, and
know that if he is found guilty he
must suffer ignominious punish
