pearance of James Garrett, a promf-
nent ranchmen, on December 10, has

calf belonging to the Ericksons, he
was met by Otto Erickson, who COM
manded him to release the calf.
Garrett, in reply, knocked Otto from
his horse and attempted to shoot him
with rifle. The boy was too quick.
and shot Garrett three times. Garrett
fell from his horse, still alive. and the
Ericksons dragged him into some
bushes end there cut his throat with
knife, despite his appeals for mercy.
Later in the day Otto returned to
the body, and tieing a rope to the
feet DIR" gged it some distance to a
new hiding place. rwo days later
Willie and Otto packed the body on a
horse and moved it four miles, de-
posting it where it was found by
searching parties.

in Ten Rounds.

In the greatest fight witnessed be-
tween little men in years, Battling
Nelson Of Chicago won from Young
Corbett of Denver, in ten rounds. in
San Francisco on Tuesday night. From
the tap of the gong until Corbett's
seconds threw up the sponge Nelson
was master of the situation at every
stage of the game. His in-fighting was
revelation, and the most brilliant
ever witnessed in any ring here
For the last three rounds of the
night Corbett was as helpless as a
baby, but he wobbled around groggily
and gamely until the repeated calls
from around. the house to stop the
night caused Harry Huthill to enter
the ring. The fight was over and
the new man is in line to vanquish
Champion Britt.

SEWERAGE AND DRAINAGE.

In thestrcss of national and local po-
litics our citizens must not forget home
matters. The city election is coming on
apace and the sewer question should
again be submitted to the taxpayers.
In what form the proposition will be
placed before the people this paper is
not advised.
Some of those who have made study
In the stress of national and local po-
sewerage cannot properly be combined;
that the drainage waters come from an
ineXhaustable source and that once the
sewer pipes are filled the water will
drain through the gravel as at present
and continue to fill up cellars and low
places; that an effective and ample sew
cr system must be constructed for the
whole city but that subterranean drain
age is impracticablc, considering the
cost and results obtainable.
These persons contend that if the
large irrigating canals conveying water
through the city, were compelled to use
water tight fumes on the upper gradi-
ents that there would be no percolating
water to drain Off that the drainage
system hitherto proposed, will only ben
eft the deep cellars on Yakima avenue
and no other portion but that by the
use of water tight fumes in the irriga-
ton bitches the whole supply requir-
ing drainage will be cut off and at far
less expense to the municipality than
by the plan last submitted.
This matter is certainly worth con-
sidering and no conclusion should be
hastily reached. Some definite. compre-
hensive plan must be decided upon and
a vote called for a bond issue to meet
the consequent expense at the next mu-
nicipal election.
The city is healthier because cleaner
than ever before. Sanitary labors must
not be relaxed but redoubled, for with
our rapidly increasing population the
necessity for such precautions are more
and more apparent and required.

is document containing no ambiguous
sentences. There can be no doubt as to
the policy of the republican party which
he so intelligently speaks for. He has
scored the enemy for its insincerity and
unprincipled misrepresentation. To
summarize. this is what Theodore RooSe-
welt stands for: A party with convic-
tions. Broad foreign policy. Liberal
pensions. Gold standard. Equal rights
to capital and labor. Enforcement of
laws against trusts. Protection to
Americans abroad Honest civil service
system. Protection. Reciprocity. Suf-
ficient army for times of need. Econ
omy consistent with the most efficient
service. Education of Fillipinos for
self government. Can the intelligent
voter ask for more from any other
source and be sure of getting it?
