ALLIANCE SUED
For Obstructing a Natur-
al Watercourse.

Michael Schaff and wife have
brought an action against the city Of
Alliance, Charles G. Baker, Alexander
B. Love and Frank Transue, as mem
bers Of the board Of public service, to
compel the defendants to lower the
breast of the dam which is maintained
by the waterworks department. 1t is
claimed that during the last Fl years
the breast of the dam has been raised
two feet above what 1t was when the
structure was originally built, and
that as result the water has been
backed up and at time of high water
the farming land of Schaff is over
flowed and rendered unfit for farming.
The court is asked to grant man
datory injunction compelling the city
authorities to lower the breast of the
dam to its original height. The dam
was constructed by the Alliance
Waterworks company and afterwards
sold to the city. Schaff owns 46 acres
along the stream. Attorneys Craine
&c Snyder represent the plaintiff.

WELKER DENIES
Statements as to His At
titude on Measures.

Attorney James A. Welker has re-
turned from Columbus, where for three
months he had been with other legis-
lators making and unmaking laws for
the state. Mr.. Welker stated to a
Morning News scribe that he had been
grossly misrepresented with regard to
his actions upon many of the impor-
tant measures that came up for con-
sideration.
Instead Of voting for the bill requlr-
ing officials to give surety bonds he
not only voted against 1t but worked
against 1t right from the start. He did
not vote for the school code as it f.
nally passed, contending at all times
for the small board in all cities. In
the attempted canal steal, Mr. Welker
stated, he worked and voted against
it and 80 antagonized the politicians
and others who were trying to work
through pet schemes that when he
tried to get measures Of his own passed
he was turned down by those whom he
had opposed. For this reason he did
not succeed in getting his bills passed
In discussion Of the Brannock bill
Representative Welker stated that he
thought 1t was unfair for the reason
that it give any private Individual the
right TO fix boundaries for the districts
In which the vote was to be taken
There is nothing to prevent a man
going TO q saloonkeeper and demanding
money to leave him out, while he could
go right on and include some othei
saloon against the proprietor of which
he had a grudge. thought there ought
to be something In the law regulating
the boundaries of the districts and moi
leave 1t to the single individual who
could run lines anywhere to suit him
self"
When the bill was placed upon III
final passage Welker was at home ant
did not vote for 1t. 1t was passed OF
Saturday after the word had been givei
out that no action would be taken unit
Monday.

THE MICE'S
CHRISTMAS PARTY

The candles on the Christmas tree
had all burned down TO a splutter and
gone out, and everyone had gore 10
bed, when Ted went back 10 find a
hali-hnished bag OF popcorn. But just
as his little bare feet stepped on the
parlor rug, there was scamper OF
other feet and all the mouse party
scattered They had eaten the ginger
bread Santa Claus, and cheWed on the
popcorn strings. Even the candles
that were lett over IN the box had
been nibbled at and there were
crumbs of candy all over The floor
to the hole down by the hearth
Ted cuddled up on a corner of the
lounge, and never made a sound. He
had never thought that mice liked
Christmas trees, too And pretty soon
they all came stealing back. four or
Ave OF them, running back and forth
from the tree 20 the hearth, and al
ways with a bIt OF nut or candy.
Then Ted understood what they were
doing. Ii was SO simple They were
getting things to hX up trees for the
baby mice down IN the hole. So he
slipped of the lounge without making
any noise at all, and tIptoed back to
bed, and wondered whether baby mice
liked pink popcorn and caramels as
well as he did, and what kind OF
stockings they hung up.
