The citizens Of Baca county are tax
ing very lively interest in the matter
Of testing artesian wells for irrigation
purposes and will petition the Tenth
general assembly for an appropriation
Of $4,000 for that purpose. The Spring
field Herald contends that $4,000 has
been turned over to the state by the
government by reason of cash entries
made in Baca county and urges the
justice OF the appropriation. The Herald
Is right. There is not more beautiful
or fertile region in all Colorado than
Baca county, and it only lacks water to
become the wealthiest agricultural
district. The citizens of that locality
have never yet received any aid what
ever from the state and it is only due to
them that their request for experimental
artesian wells be granted. The IN
DICTATOR will say to the seven members
Of the legislature from Pueblo that they
will make no mistake in voting for the

Do away with the law creating the
office Of city auditor and have either the
clerk or treasurer attend to his work;
and since the auditor acts as check on

the clerk perform his duties. Pueblo

OF forgery against d background Of in

irregularities, came TO the eyes and ears

Reporters Were on Hand.
There was early large deputation of
reporters at the Tombs, ready and anx-
lous TOR the record of any expression
, from Mr.. Wlman or any news as to his
arrangement or as to the procurement
OF bail, which should permit him to 90

Wlman, who is we'll known upon news

preston as to the charges made against
MIN, and the situation in which he finds
himself placed. The communication
also asked ii Mr.. Wiman would car. to

response the prisoner sent out the follow

men, but must adhere to that deter

against me is exhausted and their hired
men are done arraigning and trying me
In the newspapers, it will then be time
for me to speak.
The prisoner was visited by a young
lawyer, but the lawyers name was not
made known. 1t is affirmed on good
authority that General Tracey has not
yet seen Mr.. Wiman since the latter's
arrest. Warden John Fallon, who has
charge of the Tomls prison, stated that
Mr.. Wiman had PISSED good night
and was bearing up brAvtly under the
circumstances
No effort to Get Bail.

Is not very anxious to procure bail.
About 10 o clock a. III. he was visited bv

other gentleman who gave his name as
Mr.. Morrow. They remained in consul
