KANSAS NEWS OF RECENT DATE.
a Haro,s sad Death.

At the Osawatomie insane asylum
the other night one H. Goertzen, a
former citizen of Coffeyville, hanged
himself with his bed clothing. This
was the simple story sent out from
the institution, but it might be en-
larged into a tale of heroism. Four
years ago a runaway horse dashed
down the principal street of Coffey-
vile dragging carriage in which sat
Mrs. j. r. Mitchell and her baby. Mr..
.GOertzen dashed out of his bakery,
threw himself in front of the horse
and, though dragged and hammered
in cruel fashion, held on to the reins
until the horse stopped and the wom-
ian and child were saved. But he never
recovered from his injuries, and they
sent him to the insane asylum and
death by his own hand.-Kansas City
journal.

Kansas Sues Colorado.

A suit was filed in the United States
supreme court at Washington by the
state of Kansas to enjoin the state of
Colorado from diverting or monopoliz-
ing the waters of the Arkansas river.
For one sovereign commonwealth to
sue another in court is a surprising,
not to say, a sensational proceeding.
The suit is based on riparian rights"
which provides that no habitants
along a stream shall diminish the
quantity or purity of the water.

That Kansas Inland Lake.

A big inland lake out on the prairies
of western Kansas will soon be a real
ity. Kansas City capitalists, headed
by A. E. Stilwen, have gone behind
the Barton county lake scheme, and
are pushing the preliminary work on
it rapidly. A dam $50 feet long will
be built, the big ditch already con-
structed will be cleaned out and re-
paired and the water will be turned
into the lake from the Arkansas river.
In Barton county, about eight miles
north of Great Bend, is natural
basin II miles long and miles wide.
Only one draw leads out of it, and
that is only $50 feet wide. Damming
this will make the basin a lake.
