Am Insane Chinaman suicides.

Last Friday night an cid Chinaman
known as "Bng" was placed in the county
Jail on a charge made by some Of his coun,
trymen that he was insane. He made things
merry for the other occupants Of the Jail fer
couple of nights, and Monday morning
when Deputy Sheriff Davis went to let him
out Of the iron tank he found that the Mon
golan had committed suicide by hanging
himself to the cell door with sash. "Bing"
had placed the sash around his neck, tied
the other end to the wicket in the door, and
deliberately sat down SO that the weight Of
his body would tighten the string around
his neck. II is stated that his insanity re.
suited from worryment over some money
that the boss Of Chinatown had OF his and
would no, give him. Some Of his Mengo-
Ian friends took his body and buried It on
Tuesday last.

THE ARID REGION.
What the Govern sment Proposes DO.
ing to Reclaim IL.

Last Spring Senator Stewart introduced
resolutions in the United States Senate, rela-
tive to the arid region lying between the
Sierra Nevada and Rocky Msuntains, and
requiring the Geological Survey to ascertain
as nearly as might be where reservoirs could
be built for water storage, and the area Of
lands that might be irrigated by the water
storage system. The american Agyienifnr.
ist for July says the Government proposes
acting on the suggestions embraced in the
resolutions, and not only will lands be re.
claimed, but the storage Of water will prob.
ably prevent the foods which psur down
the aff1uents Of the rivers that thread the
Western plains. Congress has been appeal.
ed to, and something may be done before
long. The area included is 1900, geo
square miles, and it is proposed by Major
Powell to procure from Congress s25o, 900
with which 10 begin the preliminary work Of
selecting the sites for dams, reservoirs and
canals, ascertain the amount Of water sus

ton, and estimating the value OF lands to
he reclaimed, and the crops they would pro
duce. Of the whole area Of 1900, 900
square miles, it is thought that at least ere.
eighth could be made absolutely product.
i've and immensely valuable. The rainfall
in this large region varies from FIVE inches
in the dryest plains to thirty inches in the
mountains, and even to seventy five or one
hundred; and it is thought that the average
rainfall Of the region 10 be reclaimed is
from fifteen to twenty inches year. The
canyons which it is proposed to dam are
deep and narrow clefts in the rocks, and
can be easily used as artificial reservoirs.
There is a good deal Of hOpefulnsss about
the scheme, but it will take several years to
bring it into actual realization and it will
cost much m0ney

Horse Killed.

Wednesday afternoon as the c. & c. train
bound fer the Mound House reached Clifton
Station, pent about twelve miles below
Dayton, it ran into a horse belonging to
Thomas Barton, the wood man, and so seri.
ously injured the animal that it had to be
killed. 1t seems Barton had hitched his
team near the track near the station and
when the engine came along it started the
animals and they broke loose and tried to
crsss the track in trent Of the locomotive.
One Of the hsrses succeeded in getting over
but the other was caught by the COW catcher
in the flank and his hind leg nearly torn
from his body. The horse was valued at
about $Ioo.

DEAR SIR.-Your query would have re.

finement Of two weeks in bed as the result
Of an accident.
}. The Legislature Of 1883 tried to ex
tend the term of Assessors already then
elected for two years beyond the term for
which they had been in 1882 elected This
the Supreme Court decided the Legislature
could not do.
But, the Court said, or meant to say, that
the rest Of the Act might be operative, that
is, "The Legislature could make the term
Of Assessors four years, and the term would
be four years to all those Assessors elected
by the people after the passage Of the Act
and its going into effect, which could not be
until 1886"

Of intention to make final proof, through no
fault Of the entryman, and the land having
been conveyed to another, and the entry
mans address being unknown, the Secretary
held that the rights Of the grantee may be
protected and the defect cured BY the snb
sequent publication by the register and re-
ceiver Of q nstice inviting protest against
the issuance Of pstent on the entry, and if
no protest be made, giving reasons why the
proof already made should not be accepted,
patent should be issued.
In aRother case the publication Of notice
of intention to make proof was regular, the
claimant and his witnesses appeared at the
place and ON the day fixed for making proof,
but record evidence Of claimants intention
to become q citizen was not at hand, and the
register and receiver granted him time to pre-
cure the evidence, telling him TO GENE in
whenever he could produce the same and
make proof, fixing no specific day for that
purpose. The proof was duly made several
weeks after the day advertised, and the en-
tryman sold the land at once, and died a
little more than year afterward. About a
year after the death Of the entryman the
commits iener rejected the final proof because
not made on the day advertised, and requir
ed the eat lyman TO give new notice, when il
ne protest should be filed the proof already
made should be accepted. Tie Secretary
dspenses with this requirement and direct,
that the entry be referred 20 the Board Of
Equitable Adjudication.
