Water Wanted.
SALT LAKE CITY, May 4. 81.

SALT LAKE CITY, May 4. 81.
Editors Herald:
l am a working man, owning a
small lot on the Twentieth Ward
bench-and it's all I've got in the
shape of real estate. I love to cult
vate it and make it attractive. AT
the present time l have as hard a
fight to get what l need as l would
have in the month of August. am
at loss to understand how it is
that now, while we have so many
well-paid WatermaSters to look after
our water supply, we do not have all
we need. Can it be possible that a
ditch that has been made for
twenty-five years will be large
enough for our wants with treble
the number of people to supply? Is
it not possible to have our ditch en-
Iarged? And if so, who should dc
it, the people who use the water OF
the city? [ am aware that we have
our due proportion when the water
gets scarce, but it is in the spring
time, when millions of tons go to
waste down Jordan street, that ]
feel to growl at not having enough
for our use, when the bitches could
be larger and kept full, with enough
for everybody, without being com
PEELED to grope around in the dark
to water our lots, which we shall
have to do if this dry spell lasts. AS
long as there is a river running to
waste to the Jordan. [ shall feel to
whine at cur lack of fOrethought in
being short of such a necessary ele-
ment when there is plenty running
to waste. J. HARD-FIST, JR.

Indian Murder.

Special to the HERALD by Dese-et Line.
Fairview, 4. - Last fall Indian
Panguitch accidentally shot Indian
Cheno, as was determined by Ka-
noSh, the members of the band in
Thistle Valley all signing an agree
ment to be satisfied with the state
ment as to the accident, and prom
Using to preserve Panguitch's life
from any aVenging kin of the ac-
cidentally shot ChenO. KaRosh,
doubling the sincerity of the pledge,
left, or sent an Indian as a sort of
body guard to Panguitch. Mr..
Spencer, Indian Joe and other prom
inent Indians were away north, and
Panguitch and his companion sepa-
rated for while. On last Sunday
evening, Irrcup lay in waiting for
Panguitch and shot him twice, one
ball taking effect in the breast, the
other in the back. Indians found
the body of Panguitch. a coroner's
inquest was held, and the jury re-
turned verdict of murder against
Irrcup. An examination was held
before Justice Hyrum Seely; wit
nesses heard; prisoner made a
statement and justified the killing
After due caution. given by the court
through the interpreter, the prisoner
was remanded to the county Jail to
await the action of the grand jury.
Indian Joe has just returned from
Salt Lake. He wants the prisoner
turned loose, to be dealt with, Indian
fashion. Both the murderer and
murdered man are citizens of the
United States, and occupants of
homesteads in Thistle Valley.
David Candland, just from Indi-
ola, gives the above particulars.

Mares for Sale,

Randall, Esq, will arrive in this
city from the east, with car load
of fine mares. These Mr.. Randall
intends to dispose of, and they will
be kept on exhibition at tie large

purchases being made of mares and
horses. there is likely to be a lively
demand for them.

DR.. Van Auken.

Dr.. Van Auken seems to be run
ming away with the dentistry bust
ness of the city. His Office at the
residence of Mr. Richard Tilt in the
Twenty-frst Ward, is full of ladies
and gentlemen at all hours of the
day. The excellent work done by
the doctor and his most reasonable
figures are having the effect of pIO-
ducing a rush of business.

Alta-The JOab Lawrence.

Notwithstanding the fact that
the Wasatch and Jordan Valley
Railroad is running steadily to Alta,
having forced its way through the
immense snow slides, that camp has
hardly vet commenced to recover
from the terrible avalanche calami-
ties which overlook it last winter.
The JOab Lawrence, the most Yalu-
able property there now, is however
wasting no time. For some time
men have been shoveling the snow
from the site OF the buildings swept
aW y by the slide; lumber has been
hauled up over the railroad, and the
work of rebuilding the destroyed
boarding and other houses has COM
menced and will be rushed through
rapidly. The tramway will also
doubtless be rebuilt-in fact, it is
believed that all the valuable ap-
purtenances connected with the
working of this fine property will be
replaced without any delay, in order
that work ON the mine may be re-
Sumed and the expeditions removal
Of ore be ensured. Mr.. Chas. Read,
superintendent, will probably go to
Alta this morning to examine the
affairs and give instructions.

Killed.

On the 9th of April man named
Charles Richard was killed by
another named Jacob Ivie, at
Ferron, Emery County, this terri
tory. The full particulars are not
obtainable, but it appears that I'VE
acted in self-defense, having struck
the fatal blow with neck-yoke. a
coroner's jury Investigated the mat
ter, and the result of their delibera-
lions is found in the above, stating
that to the best knowledge of the
Jury, Ivie acted in self-defense.

To NJ. A. Flanagan, p. M,

1.-THE man who cards the public is lost
We believe it was Mark Twain who first ar
rived at this conclusion, or at least who put
it in 50 many words. Mr.. Flanagan's case
may be added to the list in proof of the
proposition. He begins his screed in the
Record by saying he is about to enter on thu
work nf %disproving the false statements of
tbs or PEEss' and then proceeds in the

Mr.. Fia says no letter came from the
Pension .artment for Mr.. McElhenny,
but ~ letter was addressed to himself as
postmaster, as they are alWaysin such cases.
Well, then, as Mr.. McElhenny called several
times and explained the character Of the let
ter he was expecting, why did not you take
the trouble to look over your vast % official
correspondence and find the documents for
him? What must the public think Of q

In the case OF the letters sent BY Mr.. Wet

In the case OF the letters sent by Mr.. Wet
eel from Helena to David G. Brown, the ex-
planation is more cruelty thin than the above.
Let us ask you, Mr. Flanagan, if you have
not for several months past put Mr.. Browns
mail into Mr.. Wetzel's box Why should
you make an exception Of the two letters re-
ferred to ? II it had rot been your custom
to put Mr.. Browns mail with that Of Dir.
Wetzel, there might be some excuse for your
negligence, but as it is there is none what
ever.
You say you will deliver the RIVER Press
at your Office to any subscriber. This is real
kind Of you, and we hope you will stick
to your pledge. But you will have TO
improve wonderfully On yonr record in the
past. Since u last issue three of our SUBJ
scribers have complained about not being
able to get their papers at your office, and
