AN OLD OFFENDER.

i Fortyce Enterprise.
 On Saturday night last, the force beng all gone except hims elf, Mr. Bub Gray thought he heard some one in the clothing department on the second floor of Mr. k. A. Acru- mans business house. MT. Gray got assistance and looked through. He found an old pair of shoes and pants, but thought they had been left there perhaps by some one who had purchased new articles. The search did not reveal the presence of anyone. On the fol lowing morning Sunday Mr. Gray, who with Mir. Ed. Watson sleeps in the store, became satisf- ed from the appearance of things that some one had been in the store, and he and Mr. ". Dedman went up stairs to look around. They found in the clothing de- partment immense stacks of the finest clothing piled up ready for shipment out of the window. Go- ing to the front porch, they saw there suspicious indications of preparations for burglary. In the search MT. Gray suddenly saw pair of eyes with white sur roundings in a black face, and he broke to his room for his gun. Mr Dedman ran out to give the alarm. Mir. Gray returned, threw his gun on the burglar and march ed him down stairs. Marshal Bar nett was soon on the ground and tho prisoner was turned over to him.
 The name of the burglar is Jeff Slaughter, and he has very un- savory reputation. MT. R. c. Full Ter sent him once to the penitentI- ary from Cleveland county for burglary. He was sent once from Bradley county. A month or two ago he broke into Marks X At
 woods store at New Edinburg
 and stole several articles, among
 which was some wine. Unfortu
 nately for him he looked upon the
 wine while it was red; got drunk
 and was caught and put in tht
 Cleveland county jail. He escap
 ed from that not long since. Hi
 escapades last week were numer
 ous. He broke into the postoffict here, and through if into Jordan 6 Harris store. He entered res taurant and took out box o
 cakes and other nick hacks. II, entered several houses at Kings { land from which he took Il fin' breech-loading shot gun, two pis
 tols, a grip sack and one pair 0 shoes and, these articles are nov in the hands of marshal Barnett who got them from house where ! they had boen hidden by Slaugh ter.
 This last burglary was to b'
 one on big scale. He was tC stay in Acruman's all day Sunday , and at night his confederates three negroes and white man , were to come and assist him tc carry off the goods.
 When it was ascertained tha
 he was the post office burglar postmaster Atkinson telegraphet to U. s. Marshal Gains and mal was sent down Tuesday. Marsha Barnett turned his prisoner owe to U. $. authority, and Slaughte was given free ride to Littl
 Rock. He confessed all thes
 crimes, and the fruit of them wa either found on his person or un : der his direction. Mir. Hopsol and others came from Kingslan' Monday after Slaughter but faile' 10 get him.

Saturday in company with num-
Der of others, we visited the farm of
Judge Sutton, on Salt creek, for the
purpose of witnessing the operation
of the new pump which which he has
put in for irrigation purposes.
The practicability of pumping water
in sufficient quantities toirrigate any
considerable acreage of ground is a
question that has caused a good deal
of discussion and can only be settled
by practicable experiment. To solve
this problem Judge Sutton has gone
to work in practical manner, by put
ting in centrifugal pump laying out
his bitches and going to work Learn
ing that all things were ready for
operation we went out for the pur-
pose of seeing it start. Clark Penn
bleton handled the engine, which was
his traction engine used with his
threshing machine.
The pump is simple in construction,
and cannot get out of order. 1t has a
capacity of 1850 gallons per minute.
These figures give no adequate idea
of the quantity of water is raised.
The ditch, which was laid out by w.
G.. Russell, is between 3 and feet
wide at the bottom and about inches
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1895-05-25

deep. It encloses an area of from 10
to Is acres. 1t has fall Of an inch
in one hundred feet. Run at less than
! its capacity the pump filled the
ditch A person looking at the water
in the ditch could hardly believe that
such a body of water could have come
through finch pipe, but so it was.
A piece of ground had bean planted
with onions, and bitches prepared
ready for the purpose of applying the
water and one man with a hoe was
ready for business; but when the
water began to come he was nowhere.
It took half a dozen to handle the
water, and it would have overfowed
then if the pump had been kept run
ming. This, of course, will be regu-
lated in time when the ground and
bitches are in proper shape. This eX-
pertinent settles one thing. Given
the water, this pump will raise suf-
ficiebt quantity of water to irrigate
successfully fifty acres of land-possi-
bly, one hundred acres. We do not
know how high the pump will raise
water At the point where it is 10
Gated now it is about y feet from the
surface of the water to the top of the
bank.
The next experiment will be the
proper method of applying the water
and the quantity to be used.
This must be mainly matter of
experiment and some failures may be
looked for, but success is bound to
come to him who persevereS.
Judge Sutton has plenty Of water
at the point where the pump is locat-
ed There are many other places on
all the streams where they wind
around and the fall is very slight
where dams might be safely and
cheaply constructed, which would
give plenty of water to irrigate the
adjacent land The water in time
will work it's way back to the stream
and be available to others. There is
not the waste of water in irrigation
that some people imagine.
The pump is portable one and can
be taken up and removed to any
point. The traction engine is doubt
less the cheapest power that can be
used at present, although there will
be cases when a stationery engine
would be more economical. The re-
suit of the experiment will be watch
ed with interest and will be reported
by The Record from time to time. =

The mails Of the department of JUS
tice are full of letters of complaint
from United States court officials,
who find it difficult to understand
why their salaries are not paid. This
is only another Illustration of demo-
cratic ideas of economy. When the
democratic congress cut S156, 900 from
the amount estimated to be needed
to pay the expenses Of the department
of justice, which pays all United
States court officials and witness fees
and other expenses of the United
States courts, for the current fiscal
year, the seven by nine statesman
chuckled and called themselves re
formers. Now, as a consequence
deputy marshals, bailiffs and other
employees of the courts cannot get
their salaries and the families of some
of them are reported to be in distress,
and when the next congress meets it
will have to make a deficiency apprO-
priation to pay them. Meanwhile
these people will have to work with
out getting their salaries, until the
first of August, when they will receive
their July salaries out of the appro-
priation for the next fiscal year.
