Cruel Long Distance Horse Hoccs

The cruelty of long distance horse races
Is demonstrated by the death of four
out of nine of the contestants in the Chad
ron (Ncb.) contest. 1t is said that the
death of these horses was not due to over
cXcrtion, but to excessive quantities of
stilnulants administered during the race.
The owners indorse this theory and claim
that the winning horse being as good us
ever supports them in their contention
1t is not stated wherein, ms far as humane
principles arc concerned, the difference
lies between killing n horse with over
doses of alcoholic stmulants and riding
him to death. The result is the same and
In either case cruelty has been practiccd
and its perpetrators should be punished
is the opinion of Tho Horscman. There
are times when the Importance of his mis-
sion warrants Il rider in forcing his horse
beyond his capabilities, but racing over Il
distance of ground so great that horses
must be Killed to succeed in travcrsing it
is II wrctchcd mockcry of sport which pub
lie sentiment will not tolerate.

Limb linked with limb old clrls o'erspan tho

A dim. sweet spot whore ono would surely
rest
To hear the wind among the leaves like rain
And gaze awhile upon the dappled west
With gentle sadness. yet no touch OF pain,
The evening hovers down, and CLEAN By

Tho cloud glow darkcns and familiar things
Grow beautifully strange, as in n dream,
Amid tho glamour that tho twilight brings.
And silence, like presence whose soft palm
Rests in light bcnediction on the brow,
Soothing tho spirit with lcthcan balm,
Stands in tho porch of night, tho world DO

And all tho starry solitudes arc calm.

The St. Johns herald., 1894-10-25

TIE St. Johns Irrigation Compa- ny are constructing q reservoir on the Little Colorado river six miles above St. Johns. The embankment begins at point 200 yards above Thos, Perez's sheep corral on the west side of the river; from thence up the river 90 yards to hillin tIe cente1 of the river bottom then down the river 90 yards to point on the east bank giving the dam increased strength by its V shape, on the east side will be an overflow 40 feet wide cut out of solid rock insuring safety to the dam.
 The embankment will be, when completed, 40 feet base 10 feet high and faced by a rock wall four feet thick. The outlet gate is near the west side of the river, the gate itself is of heavy iron plate sliding in an iron frame. The rock work around the gate is of cut rhinestone cement ed in lime. The gate is finished at this writing and is a credit to the contractor Mir. Hyram Chapman. Tine dirt work will nearly be finish ed by the close of the week.
 They now have a large force of men quarrying and hauling rock with which to build the face wall. When complete this reservoir will be the largest body of water in Apache County, covering 600 acres of land from 10 to 15 feet deep. This will furnish water sufficient 10 irrigate 10000 acres of land each season. No money will be spared to build it strong substantial dam, which will insure the water to the farmers and protect the farmers on the creek down below from losses by breaking of the dam. St. Johns is the headquarters for great many sheep men, and the bussiness center of the east side of the county.
