The Otter Greek re s,fvoir.

p. ID. Schoeber, SURVEYOR Of Sewer
county, las given the Ricbheld Advo-
cate some very interesting figures in
connection with the building Of the
o ter Creek reservoir. They show that
the surface OF the water ii tile new
reservoir will measure 2l79 acres. AL,
around tile shore will remain 80 loot
m, rgin of land, owned by the OF, r
Greek company, aggregating rs acres
This rim is lett to comply with the Law
requiring 1t. Five acres are covered b,
the dam, swelling the entire reservoir
area to 2.zS2 acres.
The capacity ri the lake will be
Al OH acre feet; that is, it will hold
enough water TO cover Al ,O6l acres one
loot deep. 1t takes just about one loot
OF irrigation fluid to supply one acre one
year; therefore there can be subtracted
one fourth vi all the volume 10 allow for
evaporation, seepage and waste fer
other causes, and there viii be lei
plenty OF water to irrigate at least $4,000
acres, adding that much To the present
farming area of Sewer county. The
average depth OF the lake viii be 1885
feet, and tne length six miles. The
dam is 100 yards above the junction OF
Otter creek and the east fox vi Sewer
river.
The surface OF the water at the daln
will be So feet above the bank Of Otter
creek and 40 feet above the bed of the
creek, there being a 40-ioot fall in the
six miles length OF the stream to be
covered by the reservoir.
Oh the 2,2S2 acres Of land owned by
the Otter creek corporation, 65i acres
was government property, and the BAL
ance, 1878 acres was purchased from
Ianchmen, principal among them being
Messrs. Smith and Forshee, extensive
dealers in cattle. Owing to the iacs
that this ground was sold in 40-acre
blocks, there are numerous corners
overlapping the 5O-ioot margin, giving
the company 100 acres OF unneeded land
which will be uti lized as meadows. The
distance around the reservoir, following
the water edge on the shore, will be Ii
miles.
Otter creek rises in the upper part OF
Grass valley, and runs IN a Southwestern
ly direction to the dam, 25 miles. Sewer
river comes up from the south, and its
east fork meets the creek 100 yards
below the dam. The creek is the chief
feeder to the reservoir, but the rivers
fork will also be tapped by canal being
run six and half miles across the
bench. The reservoirs outlet is 100
loot tunnel teing driven TO the east fork
of the Sewer, through solid rock. At
each end OF this tunnel is All open cut 40
feet long The water escaping from
the reservoir through the tunnel will
run down to Sewer county through
Sewer river, and thence be diverted by
the several irrigation companies that
are backing the undertaking. BY the
time their labor is over there will b:
spent about $4,000.

Constable Pratt's TussIe.

Constable Nathaniel Pratt had a
lively tussle last Thursday afternoon
in arresting burly negro charged with
larceny. With a warrant sworn out
by Mary Whortenbury, colored, be-
fore Magistrate E. V. Cooper, for the
arrest of William Sammons, colored.
charged with the larceny of a chicken,
Constable Pratt went to do his duty.
1t appeared that Sammons had taken
the chicken and sold it to Joseph l..
Beckett, and it was at the latters's
place of business that Mary Whorten-
bury identified the fowl. With the
case in hand, Constable Pratt proceed
ed to Sammons' home on Lincoln
street to make the arrest. The negro
saw him coming and prepared to do
battle by running into the house to
get his double barrelled gun. The
constable went through his house to
the back yard. 1t was there that Sam
mons accOsted him and threatened him
by making the remark that: "He did
not propose to let any man, white or
black arrest him over that chicken, :"
and Just as he was about to fire both
loads, Constable Pratt grabbed ahold
OF the gun. But not one moment too
soon, for IN attempting to wrench it
from the hands of the crazed negro the
piece was discharged, the concussion
being enough to bruise the shoulder of
the brave officer.
Then came the tug of war. The
negro was vicious as beast, and both
held on to each other and gun for
dear-life. Fortunately, Mr.. Joshua
Grassland, of Middletown, who was
canvassing nearby in the interest of the
Metropolitan Insurace Co. came at the
call of the officer, and it required the
combined strength of both to take the
culprit before Magistrate Cooper.
At the hearing, he was found guilty
upon the testimony of Joseph L. Beck
ett, and was held for larceny in the
sum of 800 for his appearance at
Court. He was then tried on the
charge of brutal assault and resisting
the officer. Magistrate Cooper fined
him $40 and costs. In default of both
he was then turned over to Constable
Fratt to be taken to Dover. The lat
ter lost no time i'll getting his team
ready. Sammons was securely hand
cuffed, had his feet strongly tied, and
was placed in the carriage and tied to
the body. 1t was the intention of the
oiiicer to allow him no possible chance
OF escape The prisoner fought hard
against it and even attempted to bite
Constable Pratt as last resort. Itwas
under such complete power of the Of
ncer that the vicious negro culprit was
taken to Dover Jail and given over to
the authorities there. Doubtless
he will meet his just punishment in the
sentence of the Court.

Death Of Mrs. Samuel Roberts.

Mrs. Catharine Roberts wife of one
of our elderly and respected citizens.
Samuel Roberts, died at Walters Park
Sanitarium, Pa, on Monday, the 5th
inst, and was brought to her late
home, ON Mt. Vernon street. this
town, yesterday. Mrs. Roberts, ac-
comPanied by her daughter -in-law,
Mrs. John W. Roberts, went to Wal.
ters Park, Pa, ten weeks ago in quest
of health, having been in bad health
for the past year. Mrs. James Fl.
Roberts had recently returned after
being with her several weeks. Mr..
Roberts had gone on in the meantime
and she seemed to be improving sat-
isfactorily and it was thought would
be ready to return home in a week or
two, when she was taken much worse
and her sons and their wives were
telegraphed for but they did not reach
there in time. Her husband was the
only one of the family there when she
died. Death resulted from heart
trouble.
Mrs. Roberts was a Christian lady
OF fine mould and character, under a
quiet but dignified exterior. She loved
the services of her church, the Metho-
dist, and until failing health pre-
vented, was attentive on its various
services, and her placid demeanor
could but be stimulus to those who
TOOK life In different way. She was
OF that class to whom the sacred writer
referred when he said cher children
snail rise mp and call her blessed. I"
2ne Ta was IN the 72nd year of her age.
Ier maiden name was Catherine Will
son Besides her husband she leaves
IWo sons, Jas. IL. and John w. Rob
erts. Ihe remains will be taken to the

lect delegates to the respective cOnven-
tlons of the parties at Dover, and to
nominate officers to be elected in this
Hundred. The Democrats were es-
pecially interested in the filling of
county offices, and were in from the
country Ill force. There were several
tickets in the field.
The ''Wallen ticket, so called, be-
cause he had the endorsement for the
best plum of the county, easily out
dlstanced all the others, doubtless
helped by having VIM. f. Hall for
State Senator and w. G. Pierce for
Representative on it, receiving about
2O5 votes. The two other aspirants for
the Clerkship were A. HI. Smith and
VIM. ID. HAZEL. What was known as
the 'Hazell ticket" received 10 votes
in one district and II in another-27
altogether. The delegates elected
were as follows:
County Convention-Hir Den

Thompson, George Reed Lofand, G..
Davis Brown, L. b. Fluharty.

Atthe Republican Primary the Union
Republican ticket was elected by III
votes with choice of the following del
egates-ThOmas Jefferson, John p.
Garrison, Walter O. Hoffeckr, Samuel
S. Griffin and VIM. Jordan. At the
same time Benz. H. Ross was chosen
for assessor, and Theodore MannOn, In
spector of election in the First Dis
trict and Chas. B. Archer in the Sec
Ond District.
There were also eighteen votes cast
for the Charles Potts or "Mr. Dupint'
ticket. 1t is presumed that the names
on this ticket were not all consulted,
for one Of them said afterward that he
did not know his name Was on it-and
another man on the ticket was known
to be working at the same time for the
Democratic primary. 1t is said that
sixty or more of these tickets were
scattered and expected to be voted.

ADVENTURE WITH A BULL.
Became Infuriated Near "WOOdlawn" and
Made Sport for Several Men who
ATTEMPTED TO Pacify II.

One day last week Mr.. E. l.. Hart,
of Cheswold, bought bull of a gen
tleman near BrenfOrd with lnstruc
tions that it be sent to the yard of
John p. Collins, this town. The bull
was duly roped and two cOiored men
were sent to deliver the goods. All
went we'll until opposite ''WOOdiawG,
when the bull fell and would not get
up, its eyes in the meantime in fine
phrensy rolling. The drivers dare not
leave him i'll this position and remem-
bering that there was veterinary
surgeon in town, w. Il. Ryan, it was
decided that one of them should go for
him while the other watched the ami
NAL. The doctor was there in due
time but the bull was on his feet and
the veterinarian was unable to tell
whether the animal was suffering from
hydrophObia or the heat.
The men started off with their charge
but had gone only a few hundred
yards when a dog popped up in the
road before them. The sight of the
canine had the same effect on the
painting bull as red flag at a Spanish
bull fight, and he started pell nell
after the dog, bursting through a
hedge as if it had been a cobweb, and
finally fell PROSTATE in Frank Jones
cOrnfield, and lay there. By this time
eight or ten men had collected, armed
cap-a-pie with chunks or other means
of defencs, not one of them afraid of
the bull. The Doctor got close
enough to see the animals eye, how
ever; he thought it had devilish look,
and cautioned the men not to take
any risks by going in front of him.
George Fowler was not to be thus in
timidated, and SO he walked directly
i'll front of the PROSTATE animals head
In flash the latter was on his feet
and Fowler who started son the lump
was caught on the animals head (he
fortunately had been dehOrned) and
was thus carried in the air until there
was stumble and fall. Fowler was
up first, but only because he had two
instead of four feet to get together.
The bull made a second break for
Fowler. but this time he tripped and
the bull trampled over him. which
| besides some bruises, was the most
| damage he received. The second
break of the bull after Fowler was in
direct line of DR.. Ryan, and not
knowing which was included he
thought the best way to save his bacon
was in flight, for being so much larger
than Fowler his fate might be much
worse, so he made for the hedge. He
found himself on the other side out of
sight of the infuriated animal, but
how he got there he is unable to tell.
The other men say he simply got
there by rolling over the hedge.
With this adventure the bull, which
| VIrtn0IlXr m or nf 4Io
struck off for the herd of Mr.. Jones. in
an adjoining field. Mr.. Jones said he
could not stay on his premises, so al
the suggestion of DR.. Ryan the whole
herd the bull going peaceably enough
with them, was driven to the yard OF
Mr.. Collins, and after separation back
home again. The unruly animal, that
was gentle enough up to that day, has
since made a journey by steamer tc
the city, where there are no pasture:
to roam in.

A SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFRAY.
Two Negroes get Into Fight While Play.
ing Game of Crap Saturday
Evening.

John Green, cOlored, an employee of
Mr.. John Wood on the Garter farm, :"
near Clayton, was seriously wounded
on Saturday evening by the load of a
gun fired into his stomach by John
Johns. cOlored, another employee as
the result of an alteration after n
game of ''crap." He was brought to
town Immediately aud put under the
care of DIR. L. G. Moore, and was
in II precariOus condition.
Green and Johns with several other
farm hands were shooting crap as
pastime and followed the game with a
sort of free for all boxing and
kicking match. Green was more
of bully and persisted to such de-
gree that he made Johns mad. The
. latter requested him to stop, but this
the former refused to do. Johns then
threatened to shoot Green if he would
not deslst. This did not scare the Of
fender, sogOing to the house ohns asked
Mr.: Wood for his double -barrelled gun
under the pretense that he was going
to shoot mad dog. Mr.. Wood let
HIM have the gun with the hope that
he would kill the rabid dog, think
ing no more about it. Johns went in
Ine ulrectlOn OF Green and saw him
coming to meet him half way, the lat
ter trying to show brave spirit bv ig.
noring both Johns and his gun. Again
Green was ordered to stay back. Re-
fusing his last request Johns took aim
and fired the contents of barrel into
his stomach, and would have fred the
other barrel had the gun not been
turned aside by one of the men. As
soon as Johns had seen the result of his
work he set out on a wild run and es-
capped, his whereabouts not being
known. Green was brought Ia
Smyrna, and placed under the medical
care of DR.. Moore. 1t is thought the
chances are for his recovery. A war
rent has been issued for John Johns
arrest, and the police are keeping a
close search for him.
