WHY NOT IN cEDAR9

One would be led to believe that Tho
citizens of Cedar would joyfullv unite on
a plan for piping the water through our
city The reason why VIZ are of this
opinion is the fact that during not NOR
then three months in the year is the
water in this city Of an appeiiaing nature
Itismuddy, and only after great difficulty
can 10 made fit for use,
Now eyslem Of water works would
not be very great expase. For the time
being fumes could be constructed and
the bitches and creeks be sheltered to
where good clear water can be had, and
had all the year around, The expense
of such an undertaking sinks INTO utter
ins gnificance when the great bsniilts
TO be derived tnereirom are considered.
We are confident our City Fathers
would meet with hearty support II they
were to undertake the work even % a
special tax levied for that purpose, The
greater part OF the whole business could
be done with the labor OF the people and
that appears rather flush in Cedar ju. I
now. Tne expense OF lumber aud nails
would be the biggest matter to consider
but even this can be bridgcd over wher
the number of families who could oi
would not work out their tax but wonld
~ ther pay their share. Thus the meani
necessary Tor materirl could readily be
obtained.
There is no reason why Cedar should
not have a very efficient system OF watel
works, and that too in the near future.

FATAL SHOOTING,


Last Monday evening an n occidental but
fatal shooting took phice at the Indian
camp ju-t north OF town. whereby one
Indian boy was rather ruthlesslv sent to
the "Happy Hunting Grounds"
From the evidence adduced at the in
quest held before Jusiic Chatterly on
Tuesday, 1t appears that Ammon, the boy
shot. was playing in his mothers tent,
when Snake, the slayer, and another boy
came along, A general play was indul-
6ed in, The boys all ran into tent
when Snake seeing a gun that Indian
Jim had left there, leaning against the
side OF the tent, caught it up to scare
the others. IL was not known that tie
gun was loaded AS Jim had been out
shooting rabbits and mad shortly before
returned Snake pointed the gun at Am
mon and after pulling back the breech
in imitation Of loading. he touched the
Trigger, the gun went Off and Ammon
rolled over shot through the left sid.
The ball entered the side about under
the elbow and pass d almost straight
through the body. The boy did not live
long. Snake, seeing what he had done
fled but soon returned.
Constable Ed Parry learning Of the
affair went out to the camp and BROUGHT
the body TO town The Indians follow
ed. The evidence brought out at the in
quest is as near the foregoing rs it was
possible TO get at, for all the Indians
seemed bent on giving the story in their
own way all at the same time,
Snake was examined said that he had
had no hard feelings against the deceased
and felt sorry at the result. He did not
know the gun was loaded and he only
tried to scare Ammcn, The poor boy
looked his feeling, and the perspiraton
stood in great drops upon his face while
he was being questioned. the jury. con-
sisting of A. Jensen, VIM. Wa ke- and
