The La Junta and Lamar Canal.

Elsewhere We publish proposition
from the Colorado Securities Co. for
the termination of the litigation in
which the La Junta and Lamar canal
is involved and the turning over of
the canal and reservoirs, etc, to the
stockholders. 1t is certainly to the
interest of the people of Prowers
county that this litigation be settled
and the King Reservoir developed
This is also true Of the people Of Bent
county, for with the reservoir devel-
oped and filled, in times oflow water
the consumers at the east end of the
canal could be supplied from the res
ervoir thus relieving the west end
We are informed that the receiver,
BIr. Burke, is favorable to this prop
osition and is confident that with the
King Reservoir developed and the
canal put in proper condition, he can
supply every stockhoIder with the
water he is entitled to.
The canal has been decreed 76l
cubic feet for direct delivery and 355
cubic feet for its reservoir capacity,
and it is important that the reservoir
should be developed and the water
appropriated to beneficial use very
soon or there is danger of this canal
losing its reservoir priority.
The work in developing the reser-
yoir will be mostly team work and the
local stockholders would have the op-
portunity of working out their assess
ment and much more, and with the
termination of litigation settlers could
be induced to settle upon the lands
to which water has been applied I'm
der the management of Mr.. Burke
there would be no fear, with the de
yelopment of the King Reservoir, but
what the consumers would get water.
This would also settle the question
as to what are excess water rights,
for all water rights would be recog-
nized and thus probable amount of
future litigation avoided.
1t VIII be observed that the propo-
sition contemplates the retention of
Mr.. W C. Burke, as manager for
period of five years, thus ensuring
the efficient operation of the canal
If tins proposition is accepted it will
of couse terminate Mr.. Henry's con
nection with the canal and give it to
the stockholders.
We would suggest that meeting
be held, say next Saturday, and
committee appointed to confer with
other counties in interest.

Mayor Hopkins of Chicago Issues q
Peace Proclamation.
CHICAGO, July 5.-After personal in
spection of the scenes of violence near
Fortieth street this afternoon, Mayor
Hopkins returned to the city hall, and
for half an hour was closeted with Cor
poration Counsel Reubens. At the ex-
piration OF their interview a letter wss
dispatched to Chief OF Police Brennan,
and the following proclamation issued:
Tha events of the last "a hours render
it necessary that extraordinary measures
be taken to preserve public peace and
order.
The mayor OF the city of Chicago has
the legal right to demand the services OF
every able-bodied man in the city and
to cali upon the militia, if necessary, to
suppress riots or other disorderly con-
duct, and he will certainly exercise
every power vested in him by law for
tie protection of property and the pre-
eervation Of the public peace.
He OK poets every citizen to do his
duty in preserving the peace by avoid
ing all places where crowds are congre-
gated; to attend strictly to his own par
ticular affairs and to see that all women
and children are kept away from the
streets and railway tracks.
The mayor intends to enforce every
law of the stats and ordinance OF the
city, and he confidently relies upon the
people of Chicago to aid him in his
efforts in that behalf.
If the we'll disposed comply with this
request as herein indicated, he will no
doubt find means OF preventing the
evil disposed from violating the laws.
The police force is hereby directed to
disperse every assemblage of persons in
the public streets and on or near rail-
way tracks. and to promptly arrest all
persons who refuse to disperee upon de-
mand. JOHN P. HOPKINS,
Mayor.
The mayor has instructed the chief of
police to suspend all police officers who
were in the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern yards today and declined to
interfere with the strikers who over
turned freight cars by the score.

of my proclamation was the overturn.

BOMBS FOR PULLMAN.

The Oppr-ssor of Labor Rusticating at
Long Branch.
NEW YORK, July 5.-Within the past
four days two bombs have been taken to
police headquarters, having been found
in places where their explosion meant
great loss OF life and extensive damage
to property. The first bomb found was
on Monday, and after being inspected
was sent to the bureau of combustibles.
Whether the bombs were meant for
shipment or to work destruction here, is
not known. The fact that Mr.. Pullman

Gam, went into saloon at 1882 Western

ing around the place at the time and the

came out some one began throwing
rocks at them and the deputies pulled
their revovers and began firing. At
this time there was large crowd around
them and Henry Roehr and August
Boss received BULLETS in their arms and
legs. The shooting attracted the atten-
tion Of the police and the two men were
arrested. By this time the crowd was

lynching them. They were guarded,
however, by the police, who finally took
them to the citation.
FoRBEARANCE OF THE TROOPS.
General Miles, speaking of the OBJ
etruotive tactics of the strikers
and their synpathizers at the
stock yards and railroads, said:
"Those men don't seem to realize how
close to death they are every time they
attempt to stop train and harasa the
troops. That bloodshed has not yet
taken place is due to the extraordinary
GOODNESS OF the men and their
wonderful self-control. They have
taken the jsers and snsers of the crowd
with great forbearance and have submit
ted to indignities and insults in re-
markable manner"
TROOPS LEAVING THE STOCK YARDS.
At 8 o'clock tha cavalry and artillery
under an order from General Miles. are
preparing to leave the stock yards on
double quick time. They are expected
to move Immediately. Their destina-
tion at present is unknown.

at the stockyards arrived on the lake
front opposite the Auditorium and went
