RAILROAD MONEY
Was Used to Secure National
Irrigation Legislation.

Washington, April 4.-Under rapid
questioning by the opponents of the
repeal Of the desert land laws in the
house committee on irrigation today,
George H. Maxwell detailed the infor-
nation that the Great Northern, the
Northern Pacific, the Southern Pacific,
the Santa Fe, the Union Pacific and
the Burlington railroads each contrib
ute $4,000 a year and Rock Island So
600 a year towards a fund to be used
by the National Irrigation association.
and disbursed by Mr.. Maxwell in the
interest of that organization. Other
contributions to this fund bring the
amount up to $4,000 a year. This moa-
ey has been collected during the past
five years and is still being paid 1t

MRS. CULP GETS IT.
Awarded a Divorce and Custody Of
Child.

Judge Hazen this morning decided the
divorce case Of Fantasia Culp against
William Culp. The decree of divorce
and the custody of the child was award
ed Mrs. Culp.
In deciding the case Judge Hazen
said: The most difficult question that
can come before a court is a divorce
case wherein the disposition of children
is involved In this case I think there
is no question but the decree should be
granted Mrs. Culp. The child, a girl
years old, is now in the custody of the
parents of Mr.. Culp and is in good
hands. However, I do not feel that the
charges made against Mrs Culp should
be sustained do not believe from her
actions in the court room and from the
testimony that she is a bad woman Not
to award her the custody of the child
would be to give credence to these
charges. Mrs. Culp lives with her
mother and from her appearance every
one would know Mrs Culp's mother to
be a good woman The custody of the
child shall be given to Mrs. Culp."

desperate men. Usually he met sudden

with phlegmatic indifference. This

him, while 1t stirred his heart with n
