GREAT RESERVOIR SITE.
Government Inspector Examines the
Basin at Laramie.

Laramie, Wyo.. May 12.-Lieutenant
detailed to inspect possible sites for the
great government water storage res
ervoir to be constructed in Wvom;ag.
was in Laramie Yesterday and Mon
day and inspected the great basin ly-
ing five miles west of this place. This
basin is ten miles long by two miles
wide, with a maximum depth of lao
feet. Lieutenant Chittendon states that
this is the greatest natural reservoir
that he ever saw and estimates that 1t
Will hold 10000 000.000 cubic feet of
water. BY constructing bitches to the
Big and Little Laramie rivers, the en-
tire area could be flooded. 1t would
take between five and six years for the
bitches to fill the basin, the bottom of
which is cretaceOus rock, covered with
a deposit of clay, and it has an excel
lent boundary ridge with not break.
The only cost to the government in
utilizing this natural basin would be
the construction of a IL mile ditch to
the Big Laramie and a seven mile
ditch 20 the Little Laramie. Water
could be stored during the winter and
let out into the Laramie river during
the dry summer months. thereby sup
plying a greater portion of Wyoming
and ebraska-through the Platte
with copious amount of water. il is
estimated that yearly evaporation from
this big inland sea would be LOCO, 900
cubic feet, but this would be partially
overcome by the heavy SHOWS in the
winter Lieutenant Chittendon has
called the governments corps of sur
veyors to make a survey of the basin.
and thev Will arrive in about two
weeks. It will require about three
weeks to make the necessary sur .'eys.

Eureka, May 13.-About o'clock
yesterday afternoon the citizens of
this city were startled by four pistol
shots from the vicinity of Mrs. Annie
Marks bazaar on upper Main street.
The result of the ARRAY is a badly
scared man and a woman under bonds
for attempted murder.
The facts leading up to the case, as
near as can be learned, are as follows:
A man by the name of Pat Shea owns
a small house about five rods to the
rear of Mrs. Marks store. Mr. Shea
claimed the ground between the two
buildings and was busily engaged in
grading for street that was TO run
through it; but Mrs. Marks, according
to her story, claims this land as we'll,
and was not going to let the road go
through, but intended to build small
cottage, this shutting Pat out from
the land entirely.
Mrs. Marks was away from nome IN
the forenoon, but on returning found
Mr.. Shea at work putting in bulk
head preparatory to filling 1t in for
the road. Mrs. Marks Immediately
ordered him from the premises, but,
on seeing his determination to stay.
she returned to the house and procured
revolver and dared him to put in
another post, saying that II ne uiu SHS
would shoot him.
Mr. Shea raised the post to put it in
the hole. when she fired. He jumped
instantly behind one of the other posts,
and this act was probably the means
of saving his life. She fired three more
shots. The last one tore the corner
from the post. After firing the four
shots Marshal Henrod stepped up be-
hind her and placed her under arrest

THE fact that Judge HettingeT and
Sam Graybill ran ahead of the balance
of the tickeS in this county seems to be
construed by few of our pOpHlist
friends that our democratic brethren
were not true to us and did not stay by
the ticket. We may say that we dc
not believe this to be the case. The
fact is due entirely to circumstances
and was expected and predicted by
those familiar with the situation before
the election There are two things
principally that govern candidates
showing beside party lines. First his
own popularity or unpopularity and
second the popularity or unpOpularity
of his opponent. In this election the
weakest republican candidates hap
pened IN be pitted against the demo-
Gratis. Simpson lost votes because of
his dealings with the Dank cases, and
Ragland had a most bitter and nasty
personal fight MADE aga nst him from
within his ewn party. These are the
facts which explain the large vote of
Hettinger and Graybill.

THERE is serious charge laid up
against Mckinley and his partner in
the president business, Mr.. Hanna
From the barbarOus days when kings
reigned by authority of God, there
was yet the theory in force that they
ruled as father over his children
without discrimination. But Mr.. Nc.
Klnley fought against the long haired
sOuthrons thirty years ago and still
maintains such revenge toward his old
time enemies that he is keeping the
price of cotton down out of the pure
devil inspired cussedness. He has
raised the price of wheat to the north
ern farmers, but Furnishes the children
of the South just to show his authority
by putting cotton down lower than
ever before. 1t is a serious charge
against the greatness of a ruler.
