SOMEWHAT MIXED.
Omaha Story Concerning Lease of
Lands to Sheepmen.

Omaha, July 13.-The Union Pacific
land department has closed a deal with
the Uintah County Wool Growers as
ISOLATION of Utah for the lease Of Jos, 900
acres of railroad land TO the sheep
owners of that section The lease is
one of the outgrowths of the fight be-
tween the sheep and cattle men fer
possession of that territory, and this
lease. with the land already owned by
the sheepmen. gives them control of a
large scope of country Previous hold
ings with this lease gives the sheep
owners a practical monopoly Of the
grazing in Uintah county, Utah.
The above story is rather badly
mixed up. The truth of the matter Is
as stated in yesterdays Herald. The
lease was for 10000 acres instead of
10000, and was closed with John G..
Mackay. president of the Uinta County
CWyO.) Wool Growers association.
The land in Wyoming is near Hilliard
and Evanston, and in Utah is along
the headwaters of the Bear river,
Blacks fork and Smiths fork. and in
Summit county instead of Uintah coun-
ty. The lease, so far as known, was
not made as the result of fight be-
tween sheep and cattle men. but was
a move by the sheep owners to get
control of their own paSturage.

Capitol Grounds Well watered.

While discussing the necessity of
working under the proposed new ordi-
nance regulating the hours of lawn
sprinkling, Superintendent Game men
toned the fact that the seven acres of
lawn and the 10000 trees and shrubs on
the state capitol grounds used mon
strous lot of water from the pipe sys-
TEN, but he saw no way TO reduce the
supply, except by putting the service
on the night schedule with other pub
lie grounds, as proposed in the Ordi-
nance to be passed next Tuesday night.
But he feared the state officials would
object to any restrictions in the use of
water for the capitol grounds, since
the state owns a joint interest in the
Capitol hill pipe system and water
right. AS an evidence of the ample
supply of water used on the state
grounds during last years drouth. not
a single tree had died, but, as the gar
dener told Superintendent Game, none
of the trees or shrubs suffered through
lack of water.

Anderson was precipitated upon the

head the blood streamed. dyeing the

The rope which broke was tested
Friday morning with a weight almost
double that of the condemned man, and
its breaking later is inexplicable. The
superstitious comment upon the fact
that Judge Robert w Hughes, who sat
upon the bench when Anderson was
tried, was Friday stricken with what
is feared may prove serious illness,
and that the father of the executioner
has just died 1t is also reported as a
fact that one of the men who assisted
in the test of the rope when the execu-
tion was first contemplated, in August
last was recently stricken with pdraly

ObiIging Conductor Told tn Passenger

Back in the days when the North

tired horses a woman boarded a car
at Lake street and, taking a seat. pre-
pared to enjoy a luxurious mental and

fate and the obliging conductor had
other ends in view for the weary pas
senger When she paid her fare the
amiable official volunteered to break
his usual silence with the consoling re-
mark: Madam, your house is on fire."

woman, jumping to her feet in alarm
Yes, madam" explained the conduc-
tor Il saw the engines out in front

sank back into her seat in demoralized
despair. The car fairly crept north
ward in its homeward journey, and
every turn of the wheels brought a
new trial and trouble to the frightened
house owner. She pictured her chill
dren burned as the greatest of evils
added to the loss of her furniture and
clothes as the least. She urged the
conductor to hurry, he in turn argued
with the driver. who threatened the
backs of the bony horses with the reins
until they managed to go trifle faster
than a walk. But to the imprisoned
victim the car fairly crept through
space. She counted every street as 1t
was left behind, and two squares be-
fore she could possibly reach home she

panied by the sympathetic conductor,
endeavoring to discover signs of the
home. And, all too true, there were
the engines and firemen, there was the
smoke If not the fire issuing from the
windows, there was the usual gathered
crowd. "Oh, hurry" she cried out to
the driver and hurry he certainly did.
The horses fairly galloped up State
street, and within a half block of Di-
vision street the harassed passenger
jumped from the platform, unable
longer to bear the strain of waiting
She ran up the middle of the street to
her own familiar block of houses. only
to find her own home safe and sound,
and her own children in their healthy
bodies busily helping the firemen. For
it was the next door home of her
neighbor that was burning.
