1t was novel looking bunch;
there was enc cabinet official, sena-

others, in full dress suits and white
gloves, who mingled with farmers
in hickory" shirts and $40 suits,

Tucker and one member of his staff
in uniform. However, every one

A complimentary concert was given

road is fine, macademized good
portion of the way, frequently cut
out Of the side OF the mountain and
walled up on the side next to the
river and provided with strong
wooden fence to prevent accidents.

but In 1873 it reverted to the coun,

summer months; for this purpose
water tanks are set up at intervals
which are fed by springs.
1t is proposed to build dam x
feet high which will hold $4,000 acre
feet of water and cover about 22O(
acres. The catch basin has an are'
OF $50 square miles and the annua

From here they are elevated to the

G. K. Howards's Cheyenne River
ranch was the scene of a tragedy
this week that will probably result
in the death of James Estliff, an
employee at the ranch. 1t appears
that Estliff is addicted to the use of
liquor and when under it's influence
is said to be very brutal and dan
gerous man, aud on more than one
occasion, when in that condition, is
said to have beaten and lll-treated
his wife. While in his cups early
this week at the ranch he attacked
his wife and would have undoubtedly
done her considerable injury but
for the interference OF Mr.. Howard,
who attempted to guard the woman.
Estliff resented the interference and
knocked Mr.. Howard down, Mr..
Howard managed to escape from the
Infatuated man, and got in the house
and locked the door. Estiff arm I'd
himself with a knife and broke down
the door, Mr.. Howard had in the
meantime secured shotgun and
when Estliff came at him with the
knife Howard stopped him with q
charge of shot which tore CHASTITY
hole in Estliff's side.
The wounded man was at once
cared for as best he could be unde,'
the circumstances and was brought
to this place Monday, from where be
was taken to the Lead hospital in
care of DR.. Waldron, of this city.

SPEAKER ISSUES CHALLENGE
Legislator at Olympia Did Not Like
Ruling and Pretty Near Got
Swatted.

Olympia, Feb. 17.-During all Of today
the lower branch Of the legislature
fought over the railway commission
bill, and the result was the taking of
the bill out of he committee Of whole
and voting down the recommendation
OF that committee to indefinitely post
pone The bill is now at the foot of
the house calendar for second read
ing, and commission men who have a
majority of the house intend the pas
sage of the bill shall take place re-
gardless of the fact that duplicate
has already been killed in the senate.
At the noon adjournment the tension
in the contest over the bill was the
most pronounced.
Lewis of King county took exception
t. the ruling by Speaker Hare and as
the house adjourned made way to the
desk and pronounced the ruling as
crooked work. Speaker Hare sprang
from his chair with evident intention
of striking Lewis, but was dissuaded
by his friends, although he continued
to challenge Lewis to come outside and
settle the difficulty. Lewis declined
the challenge and the trouble subsided.

Washington, Feb. 17-Repubiican
senators held a caucus today and de-
cided to have the senate continue the
consideration Of the Panama canal
treaty tomorrow and In future until the
treaty shall be disposed Of. This re-
suit was reached after an hour and a
half discussion OF the legislative situ-
alton in the senate.
The conclusion reached Is that the
statehood bill does not lose it's advan-
tageous position in the order of busi-
ness when the senate is in executive
session.
Republican supporters Of the state
hood bill agree not to antagonize mo-
ton for an executive session to con-
slider the canal treaty, nor to make any
objection to prolongation OF such ses-
sions to any extent necessary to secure
ratification.
