NEW COUNTY OFFICE.
County Superintendent Taylor Opens an
Office in the Court House.

ouRCAAAoOAuOnu AdyAOE opens an
Office in the Court House.
Kenosha county has new Office for
the use of its officials for this morning
County Superintendent George Taylor
opened an Office on the second floor of
the court house. Hereafter the super
intendent will make this Office his
headquarters when he is in the CITY.
The new office is very pleasant one
and the Board of Supervisors has al
lowed fifty dollars for its furnishing.
The opening of an office for the
county superintendent in Kenosha
fills long felt want. For many years
the superintendent has been forced to
find Office room in one of the other
offices of the county and on this ac-
count there has been no chance for the
official to systematic his work or to
keep the records of the schools in any
suitable manner. Superintendent
Taylor will continue to reside in
Pleasant Prairie but he will be in mis-
Kenosha Office number of DAYS dur
ing each week.

WATERS BACKING UP.
O'pIane. River Threatens to do Considerable
Damage in Pleasant Prairie.


Damage in Pleasant Prairie.
The little O'plane River, the much
malig ned stream in the town of Pleas
ant Prairie, has risen in its might,
and thanks to the many and >copious
rains the usually quiet little rivulet
has become raging torrent. The
waters are now beginning to back up
and it is feared that considerable
damage will be done. The buildings
of the Latin & Rand Powder company
are on the banks of the river but a re-
port from the plant states that as yet
there is no danger from the rising
waters. Many fields in this part Of
the county are overrun with water
and the loss to the, farmers will prob
ably be the heaviest from the rise of
the waters.

1T WAS DISAPPOINTING.
oliver Besette's Experience in Con-
signing Proves Costly.


Even when the conditions are fat
yorable to the consignor and the bal
ance is on his side, two years is a long
time to wait for a final settlement on
account of a consignment of wool.
When added to the long wait he must
also go down into his pocket and make
good to the consignee, the poor flock
master begins to think that there are
some things that need adjusting.
Two years ago Oliver Besette con
signed his clip to Luce & Manning, an
eastern concern, to be sold on com
mission. He a y he was assured net
returns of not less than Is to II cents
per pound. After forwarding the wool
he drew on the firm to the extent of
IL cents per pound for the whole clip.
Time rolled on and he heard but
little from the commission men until
about a month ago, when he received
a statement which made him out to
be indebted to the consignees to the
amount Of $1O6.36 accompanied by
the usual request for a prompt remit
lance. He. did not remit, however,
and yesterday sold his clip of this
season. The agent of Luce & Man
ming learned this and took steps to at
tach the money. Suit vas instituted
by him in Justice Fraser's court last
evening and the necessary bond CIV
en- by the attaching party.
Besette concluded not to fight the
matter and effected a settlement out
of court. 1t is said that he compro-
missed by the payment of $40 to the
agent of the plaintiffs.

HAD MANY
Horse Stolen Seven Years Ago Re
turned to Its Owner.

turned to Its Owner.
Great Falls, July 23.-Before Justice
Stafford, the jury trying the case Of
NJ. Hinderager against w. G. Multi
gan, an action to recover a horse
found in the possession of the defend
ant and which the plaintiff claimed to
have lost sever years ago, brought
in a verdict awarding the animal tn
the plaintiff or in liue it's adjudg4d
value, 500.
The cas- is a strange one. In 1893
the horse was foaled by one of Mr..
H~inderager's mares and was branded
with his brand. For two years it was
on the prairie and then SUDDENLY dis
appeared. Two weeks ago Mr.. Hin
derager was passing the Mulligan
camp on the Great Falls & Canada
grade and was surprised to see an an
imal which he recognized at once as
the colt he had lost seven years be-
fore. He made an examination of the
brand and followed this up with a de-
mand for the animal.
Mr.. Mulligan stated he had bought
it from Matt Shannon and therefore
would not give it up. Then it was
Mr.. Hinderager %rep1evined the ami
NAL and the case got into court.
Mr.. Mulligan showed that he did
buy the animal from MI. Shannon.
In turn Mr.. Shannon took the stand
and showed he got the horse from
Henry Griesbeck of Teton. Mr.. Cries
|sbeck took the stand and showed he
got the horse from his brother-in-law,
Oscar Parish, who declared he bought
it in 1898, when it was two years old,
from a man with a band of horses
which he was trailing over the country,
offering for sale. This man has long
since disappeared.
When Mr.. Hinderager testified, he
described the brand on the animal,
which had been brought into the city
and was to the rear of the justice
court. The jury went to the place
where the horse was and found that
Hinderager had described the brand
exactly. The verdict was soon reach
ed that the horse, from which the
plaintiff had been parted for the past
seven years, should be returned to
him.
Mr.. Hinderager also sued for $500
damages, but this was. not awarded.
There will now be a tangle to as
certain who must stand the loss.

WILL MR.. SLEEPER APPEAL TO
ROOSEVELT. i
RODE NICHTHERDT TOGETHER
Wyoming Man Goes to Visit Presi-
dent in Behalf Of Cat
~ tie Men.

One of the men delegated by the
Wyoming stock interests to go to
Oyster Bay to protest to the president
against the immediate extension of
the forest reserve east of the Yellow
stone park is w. B. Sleeper, until a
few years ago a resident of this city.
When a lad, a good many years
ago, Mr.. Sleeper used to ride the
range in the extreme eastern part of
this state and Wyoming. This was
during the period when President
Roosevelt also put in time riding the
festive roncho and made use of the
sage brush of the prairies for a COW
ering at night. While not becoming
particularly "chummy" with the New
Yorker, the two men formed an ac-
nNaintance in those days of calf and
beef roundups which will be renewed
when Mr.. Sleeper sends his card to
the presidents home on Sycamore
hill. . /.
After exchanging a few reminis-
cences of the time when they spent
their days in the saddle in the bad
lands" of the Little Missouri, Mr..
Sleeper will gently approach the pres
ident on the subject which is now Ct
absorbing interest to the stock inter
ests of northern Wyoming. He will
picture the hardship that will be work
ed on the poor and struggling settler
of that locality if the order to- vacate
is made effective at M The ap-
peal will be made in the most pathetic
manner and the hero of San Juan hill
will be asked for the moment to trans
fer himself to the position occupied
by the Wyoming herd owners in the
mountains and foothills east of the
Yellowstone park.
Will the president yield to the SYM
pathetic appeal for leniency for the
Wyoming herdsmen? If his sympathy
and leaning toward right and justice
for the makers of western states and
the builders cf empires is as report
ed. then it is easv to guess the nature
of the message Mr.. Sleeper will bring
back to the homes of the men who Sc
lected him to go to the fountain head
for a remedy for their existing trou-
h1ac

#s7 Banquet Tonight.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.

Although enthusiastic and deeply
interested in all matters likely tc.
come before the body, the attempt to
hold a meeting OF, the Central Montana
Wool Growers association this morn
ing was not a success. The mem
bers found the exchange too attrac-
tive. There were sales going on and
they wanted to see them. Then, the
day was long and they figured that
plenty of time remained in which to
transact the business of the a%ssocia-
ton, or if those who were in a hurry
and could not wait wanted to go ahead
and begin the proceedings. well, there
was nothing to prevent them.
Seeing that mo- meeting could be
held Vice President O'Donnell de-
Slared an adjournment until 2 O'Clock
this afternoon and the few who had
assembled in the court room left to
see what was going on in the ware
houses.
This afternoon the laggards appear
ed and shortly after the appointed
time Mr.. O'Donnell again raped for
order. he having been selected to pre-
side in the absence of President Fol
som, who found it impossible 20 he
in attendance. The meeting was we'll
attended and the proceedings, now in
progress, opened with a vim and evil
dent determination to make up for
lost time.
Among those who are there is G.
F. Martin, secretary of the National
Livestock association. who is billed
for an address. DR.. Knowles, state
veterinarian, is also in evidence and
will speak, as will the Hon. T. G. Pow
er and J. E. Bowers of Stamford.
Others are expected to make short
talks for where there are so many
assembled and all interested in the
same subject there can be no lack of
those who have something to say of
Importance.
Another short business meeting will
be held this evening, after which an
adjournment will be taken to Gruwell
hall. where a banquet will be served.
In connection with this feature of the
meeting Secretary Logan requests
The Gazette to state that if by mis-
chance some of the sheepmen now in
the city have been overlooked and
have not been provided with tickets
of admission they need not stay awav
on that account. All men interested
in the sheen business are United to be
present and share in the evenings

prise, Says Secretary Hitchcock. 4,
A dispatch from Washington says
that Mr.. Hitchcock, secretary of the
interior, gave emphatic denial a few
days ago to the report that politics
was to cut any figure in the prosecu-
ton of national. irrigation work re-
Gently authorized under the Hans
brough-Eewlands bill. Reports from
Washington to the effect that Idaho,
Colorado, Montana and the territories
were not to have any share in irriga-
ton projects for some time, because
they are represented in congress by
democrats and populists.
"No statement could be further
from the TRUTH" said Secretary Hitch
cock. 81 have just approved a plan
Of work which will call for preliminary
SURVEYS and Investigations in each of
the II states and territories in the
arid and semi-arid regions, and so far
as practicable the money available
for this preliminary work will be ap-
pcrtiOned among these states and ter
ritories.
"This is a business and not a polit-
ical enterprise, and it will be conduct
ed purely on business principles. I'm
der the terms of the bill we have a
capital stock, as it were, of about
SIS. 600. 900. derived from the sale of
public lands for the two ears ending
June 80. 1902, and this will be invest
| ed where best returns offer. AS the
lands are improved the money deriv-
ed from their sale will be added to the
original investment and the work x
tended. The geological survey of
fcials have much data already concern
ing the country that is to be improy-
ed bv the administration of the irriga-
ton law. and this information will be
supplemented by further preliminary
SURVEYS and Investigations. AS rap
idlv rs the reports and Investigations
show that irrigation enterprises may
be started to advantage. the lands
will be withdrawn from entry to pre-
vent speculation, and the work of es-
tablishing the enterprises will be un.
dertaken by the department"
The active field work in connection
with the irrigation propositions will be
commenced within the next 10 days,
The force organized for the purpose
will make it's reports to the secretary
of the interior. and the land that will
come under the reservoirs to be con.
structed will be promptly withdrawn
from homestead entry. That will be
the first intimation the neople will
have as to the probable location OF
reservoir sites. Secretary Hitchcock
estimates that there will he a slight
reduction in the revenues for the irri,
cation fund. on account OF the with,
drawal of these lands from settlement,
but that after a year or two the mon
ey derived from the sale of public
lands, under the reservoirs will create
a fund that will enable the department
to use all of the available water in
the mountains for irrigation purposes.
