The Dam in Pease Bottom,

Josiah Nichols was in town yester-
day from his ranch IN Pease Bottom.
He states that they have got four miles
of a ditch dug, which is eleven feet
deep, tapping the Yellowstone st a
dam which has been built to raise the
water and running off at an angle of
Is degrees. He says the ditch will be
twelve miles long when completed,
and that they are working on it right
along. There will have to be a wing
put to the dam to raise the water still
higher; this will be done during the
coming winter and ii is hoped that by
next spring the entire work will he
completed. He says that those ranches
bordering on the completed four miles
could have had water this spring had
IL not been for the fact that the water
In the river was five feet lower than it
usually is in the spring time. If the
ranches had gotten water 1t would
have made great difference in the
crops rom those particular places. AS

He says that If there is not rain soon
the corn crop will be ruined. He
thinks the potato crop will be short

night be was In somewhat of hilari-
GUS con lition and a couple of his
friends took possession Of large sum
of money which he had on his person,
something over hundred dollars; also
a gold watch and chain, for the pur-
pose of keeping them safe until he
should want them. The owner went
to bed aud on arousing in the morning
commenced 10 search Tor bis watch
end money but found neither. The
report got around town that he had
been robbed but this was without
foundation, as the act was only a
kindly one ventured by a couple Of
friends who were thoroughly respon-
sible parties and who had an interest
in hir in 80 doing. As soon as IL was
learned that he was up and all right
