Cnderdrninage With TiIe-One Line
of Tile Versus Two.
1t is the universal observation that
roads in low places which are tiled dry
out sooner than the untitled roads on
the high land. The tiled roads never
get so bad as those not tiled.
The road should be undetermined so
as to keep the water level well below
the road surface. In most localities this
can be accomplished reasonably we'll
by laying n line of farm tile three or
three and 4 half feet below the road
surface along one side of the roadway.
1t is sometimes claimed that there
should be q tile on each side of the

Found Dead in Bed.

Andrew Woodrow was found dead in
his bed this morning about 1880
o'clock. He was employed as a driver
of n of Payne's express wagons and
worked all day yesterday, although
suffering excruciating pain from a sore
finger. In the evening he consulted a
physician. who lanced the finger and
applied a lotion to it, but the suffering
continued and grew so much worse
about 8 o'clock, that another physician
was called. The latter gave him a Sc
dative and some time afterwards he
dropped asleep. Friends were with
him until about IL o'clock.
The occupant of an adjoining room
says he heard him snoring later in the
night. but the sound was not of such
a nature as to be alarming. This man
went into his room this morning at
the hour named above, only to find him
dead though his body was still warm.
Deceased was a very exemplary
young man, being only about 2S years
old, and had resided in Prescott about
two months, coming here from New
Mexico. From letters found on him it
was discovered that he has a brother
living at Cliff, N. M, and his grand
father Andrew Ribbons, resides at
Blanco. Texas, both of whom were no
titled of the young mans death.-Pres-
