Alleged Horse Thief Taken to Lama

Undersheriff j. III, Frisbie of
of Prowers county was in Denver
yesterday for the purpose of taking
into custody Will Kohl Painter, who
is wanted at Lamar for stealing four
horses and a mule.
Painter ls said to have stolen the
animals and afterward disposed of
them to a man named Howe in New
Mexico. He disappeared ane Under
sheriff Frisbie took mp the scent.
He struck the wrong trail in the be
ginning, thinking Howe was the
guilty man. Frisbie went to New
Mexico and brought Howe up to
Prowers county, where the fact that
he was the wrong man was discover
ed. Trace of Painter was found
later, however, it being learned that
he was In Kansas. From that state
he returned to Colorado, locating in
Weld county and afterward coming
to Denver.
The Lamar register., 1904-04-20

Painters arrest in Denver was
made in an unusual manner. While
scurrying about this state and Kan
sas endeavoring to elude pursuit, he
stopped at New Windsor, where he
bought a money order for 80 and
sent it to a man in Fort Collins.
The money order was not called for
and was returned to New Windsor.
The postmaster at that point made
efforts to locate Painter and discov
cred that he was in Denver. The
money order was forwarded to Col.
Sullivan of the postoffice depart
ment here. Monday when Painter
called to receive a return of his
money Col. Sullivan had a police
man stationed nearby, who promptly
made the arrest.
Undersheriff Frisbie aud his man
left last night for Lamar.-Denver

Snow In the Mountarns

Reports from the mountains show
that there has been a notable accum
ulation of snow in nearly all parts Of
tae state where the ranges reach a
great elevation.
This has changed the situation in
comparison with what 1t was six
weeks ago, when il looked as though
there might be a scarcity of water
for irrigation during the coming sum
mer. The accumulation seems to be
great enough to make the snow fall
about normal, and there are posi-
bilities for still more during this
month and even during the early
part of May. Some of the most Sc
we're snow storms known in Denver
have occurred in April.
So much has the situation been
improved that the farmers have res
son to look forward with confidence
to a year Of good irrigation and con
sequently bountiful crops. When
ever the streams run full OF water ir-
rigation makes farming.in this state
practically a certainty 80 far as the
yield is Denver Repub
Iicsn.

and the party all over the state
should cordially and earnestly unite
in selecting state and local tickets
that will command the confidence
and support of the people.
The senatorial contest does not
come up until 1906 and there is
ample time to make that fight inside
the party after the state is safely
landed in the republican column this
fall.
The cause of good government
and, to large extent, the prosper
ity of the state, are closely identifi
ed with republican success this fall,
and no republican can afford to jeop
ar die that success by any feelings of
personal hostility to individual mem
bers of the party, and no republican
should be permitted to wreck the
party or to injure its prospects by
an attempt to serve his selfish pur-
poses or ambitions.
The party all over the state should
close up its ranks, should relegste
the agitators and disturbers to the
rear, should Use the utmost wisdom
in the selection of candidates, and
should adopt such progressive poll
cies as the people of the state de
mand.
1t is time for back-biting and
pickering to cease and for all loyal
republicans to get together.-Pueb
10 Chieftain.
From the above it looks as if even
Ikey had decided to get into line.

Value Of Pumping.

The importance of irrigating land
by pumping water from the under
flow is beginning to be recognized,
and this feature of irrigation is
growing very rapidly. The national
irrigation act has stimulated this
work enormously and has already
increased the demand for irrigated
lands of the west. Experiments
show that in many portions of the
arid west well sunk from eighteen to
fifty feet will supply large sections
of land which can not be irrigated
in any other way, and in this man.
ner low or seepage land can be made
valuable by water being forced up
on to the dry and Improbable table,
land. No storage reservoirs are nee
essary and the expense OF canals
and irrigation bitches is thereby
saved. Tests have recently been
made at distance of seventy
to one hundred miles distant from
the foothills, in which it was fou nd
that water could be had in abund-
ance along draws and dry water
ways at four to eight feet below the
surface. 1t is believed that the un-
derground flow will constantly in
crease and that this source of water
will be unfailing. Irrigation Age.

Duty Of Republicans to Unite.

ELECTRICITY INSTEAD OF STEAM.

Another English railway has changed its mo-
tive power. It was formerly operated by steam.
Now Il is run by electricity. The line reaches
noTthward from Liverpool TO Southport a dis
lance OF something Ike eighteen or twenty
miles. Active steps for equipping It with the
third rail system began almost exactly a year
ago. and the conversion was virtually completed
before the close Of 1903. Service was not init
ated however. until a few days ago. Trains
are made up like those on the Manhattan ele-
waited read. partly Of motor cars and partly Of
trailers, though only two OF each kind are re-
quired AZ present. When train reaches either
end Of The line no switching is necessary 10
bring the engine 10 the head. II IS only neces-
sary for the motorman 10 walk 20 the other end
move two or three electric switches. and every
thing is ready for n return trip.
Two marked Improvements have resulted from
the change. The same thing was noticed in
New-York when electricity replaced steam on
the elevated roads but not 70 the same extent
Formerly there were seventy-four trains q day
each way on the division reaching TO Halls
Road which IS only seven and one-quarter
miles from Liverpool, and thrty-slx went on TO
Southport. The number does not look large
but it taxed the facilities OF the company to the
limit, and that is why the change was made.
Now 119 trains run to Halls Road. and sixty
I've OF them continue 10 Southport. In other
piled about 20 per cent The other gain is I'm
speed. Trains that stopped at all stations for
merly needed ffty-four minutes TO make the run
from end 10 end. Now they do Il in thirty
seven minutes. With a solitary exception. the
4 expresses took thirty minutes. and now they do
/ Il I'm seventeen. Formerly there were only two
+ or three expresses each way daily, and now
f they run hourly.
The first English company operating n steam
road outside OF London 20 make even n limited
use OF electricity was the Northeastern. The
f old motive power IS still retained for most Of
the system, but large suburban service ii the
/ vicinity OF Newcastleon-Tyne Is now con-
Quoted by electricity over section OF track laid
years ago. The Liverpool and Southport Is
really a local line. and hence the conversion IS
/ complete instead OF partial IN some ways. how
ever, the action of the Northeastern company
is the more significant. Pioneer enterprises de-
mand greater saCaeity and courage than fmita-
tons.
In the mean time the spirit OF progress has
been manifested in France. too. Not only is
there an underground electric road in Paris but
electricity has displaced steam on one OF the
old roads running out OF the French capital
