are:

Laramie Plains reservoir. Albany
county, for immediate use, $4,000; linn

Estimates and plans for the Gray
Bull system have been made by the
geological survey. and for others by
Captain Chittenden Of the United
States engineer corps. The bill pro-
vides that water impounded in these
works from food water shall be re-
leased in time Of low water so as to
maintain a uniform stream, and when
liberated shall be under the same state
laws as the natural flow of the stream.
The house today passed Mr.. MOndell's
bill by which the law in reference to
the making Of affidaVits and proofs IN
land matters is amended so that the
entry men under homestead pre-emp-
ton, timber culture, desert lands and
timber and stone acts NAV make affida-
Wits and proof before any United States
commissioner or judge or the clerks of
courts of record in the land district in
which the lands are situated. The
present law requires affidavits to be
made in the county in which the lands
are located. This is often to the great
inconvenience of the entry men.

Indictment Of a grand jury issued Oc-
tOber T. 1890, on a charge Of stealing
cattle, was brought last night to Mis-

The story of his downfall so far as
can be learned is that Bell Bros,
prominent stOckmen of StevensviIIe. in
the summer Of 1890 had been missing
cattle and suspicion fell on Bennett
and his range riders.
Bell instructed his cowboys to keep
a close watch on Benefits riders. with

discovered against Bennett which.
when laid before District Judge
Marshall, was considered SUI
ficient by that official to warrant his
calling a grand jury to investigate the
matter After a session lasting several
days the grand jury returned a verdict
against Bennett and four others
charging them with stealing cattle
Bennett drove from his home directly
through this city TO some unknown
point on the Northern Pacific. where.
dressed in wOman's garb. he made his
escape.

since the escape have constantly been
on the lookout for Bennett Some

came public, Mr.. Bennett was operating
