Fourteen carloads of sheep arrived at this place Monday from New Mex leo. They are owned by Wiley Wea- yer, r,who will have, all told, 10, 900 head at this place and vicinity.

 Prescott has put in the septic tank system for the treatment of sewage, which deOdorizes and renders it in- nOxious The tank is divided into five compartments and the deodorizing or septic treatment takes place in them as 1t passes through them. Adjacent to the tanks the ground is plowed and | then divided into five separate plats. | After leaving the tanks the water runs on these plats alternately. It runs one week on one and then is changed to another one, and SO on until all have | been used, running one week on each | of them. By the time the tifth plat is reached or by the time the water has | been discharged on it for the week the | first plat has had four weeks to dry, i aud 1t is again plowed and the water turned on it. each succeeding one be- l ing treated in the same manner. The | use of septic tanks for disposing of sewage is by no means an experiment, as seems to be the impression of many. The system was long since proven and Is now in use in great many cities, and formed one of the exhibits at the St. Louis exposition.

THE NEWS OF TUCSON
 AND OF PIMA COUNTY

The republican and democratic county committees have lied their expense accounts with the cler of the board of supervisors. The republican report is not totable except that it shows that the republican "columus'' in the Star cost that party $500. The democratic report shows that the eau. didates of that party were assessed abont the same amounts as the repub- licanS. S.-Post.
 The most promising improvement which will come to Tucson during the year 1905 will be the Santa Cruz boule- yard, which wlll extend from the Sil- yer Lake road to near Allisons mill, northwest of Tucson. The boulevard will be about four miles in length and will be the choice residence section of the city, and just outside of the city western boundary line. This improve ment will be one of the natural re- suits of the removal of the wedge. -- Star.
 The Star says that the survey of the Twin Buttes railroad Is progressing rapidly. The lins was established for tea miles last Saturday, running ir d straight line for more than eight miles, keeping right alongside the sec tion line for that distance. Very It. tie grading of consequence will have to be done. Cuts aud fills are very slight; no heavy grading will be re. quired whatever The survey will be completed tDiay. Friday the camp will be removed to Tucson, and on Monday grading will begin. From forty to fifty men will be em ,loyed in the grading work. On or before April l the road will bs in operation haul. ing copper ores from the Twin Buttes and tributary mines to the Southern Pacific.
 Under the new administration, May or Manning at the head, and the city council comprising four democrats and two republican members there will be a pretty clean sweep of officials hold- ing office by appointment. It is scarce ly tO be expected that many now draw ing salaries will do so after the lst of January. Among the attorneys who are reported to have an eye on John B. w .hPs place are Judge Wm. M. Lov.lI, F. NJ Hartman, S.W. Purcell and Josiah Ide. The general opinion seems to be that Judge Lowell is the one who will be selected. Dr. A. W. Olcott is thought to be the prospective city physician. There will be change in the police force, with possibility of Pat Flannigan remaining. Tom Conlou, superint ten- dent of the water works, is a demo- crat and 1t is fair to presume that he will stay. Clerk J. II. Schneider. of the water department, is pretty sure to go.

Manhattan, kans., March 14.-One
OF the strangest cases that has ever
been heard of in Riley Co. is that Of
the ~threeyear-old daughter Of Mr..
Jonas Brubaker of this place.
Some time ago the little girl took
whooping cough, which was followed
by pneumonia. When the pneumonia
left her she al taken down with
malaria fever with at times symptoms
OF Spinal Meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safe
~ through these troubles, but after
the fever Bright's Disease set In and
the doctors gave her up. Her father
tells the rest of the story:
We began to give her DOdd's Kid
ney Pills and after she had taken
about three and a half boxes she was
entirely cured. Now she Is as well as
any child, running and playing as IL
nothing had ever been the matter with
her. The doctors said she was beyond
the reach of medicine. Dodd's
Kidney Pills certainly saved our lit
tie girls life when she was 90 far
into the chronicA stage OF Bright's
Disease that we thought nothing could
ave her."

SIGHTS ON THE RANGES
Carcasses of Dead Cattle to Be Seen Everywhere
Lack of Water Caused the Most Suffering
Losses Confined to the Large Herds.

Conditions among range cattle in
the Belle Fourche region are almost
beyond belief. Not since 1886 has
there been SO much suffering, and if
March continues with any severity
the percentage OF loss will almost
equal that of the memorable winter OF
seventeen years ago. 1t should be I'M
derstood that the loss this winter has
been confined to the large herds.
There has been no p%erceptible loss
among the cattle of the small owners
who have cared for their animals.
The greatest suffering seems to
have been caused by the lack OF water.
The animals spent hours at a time
along the warehouses; and various
pools licking the ice in a frantic en-
deavor to relieve their parched bodies.
Places are frequently found where the
Ice is drenched with the blood OF the
animals from their lacerated tongues.
Every day Is adding Its quota to the
number Of ~carcasses owe the plains,
and it is impossible to form any esti-

ing the past few weeks, accompanied
by a heavy snowfall, which made 1t
impossible for the cattle to get at the
scanty feed of the range. Thousands
of head have drifted into this vicinity
from North Dakota and Montana. and
feeble efforts are being made to throw
them food enough to sustain them un-

In marked contrast with the condi-
ton Of the animals left to themselves
Is that of the cattle of the small own

the winter, but in a great majority OF
cases will be in good condition when
the ley grass arrives. Sheep have
also wintered well, and aside from q
few losses caused by the animals

contests. He states that he has no
doubt but that the. contests will be
finally decided In favor of the In
dians. Many of these contestants are
squatting on this land, and Mr.. James
states that he will at once apply to the
attorney general of the United States
on behalf of these Indians and ask
that the government institute eject
ment suits against these %squatters.
Ejectment suits will be commenced
under the direction of the attorney
general of the United States in the
federal courts, and will probably be
commenced at an early date.
Appointment a Good One.
General satisfaction Is expressed
over the appointment of Rush J. Tay-
lor of Castlewood, as Indian agent at
Wagner. Owing to there being no
agent there since the death of Maj.
Staley over two months ago, Indian
business has been at a standstill.
There is now held in the Indian Of

at Washington deeds for Indian heir

the total amount to be paid to the In
dams for the same aggregates over
500, 900. There Is also $25, 900 of in
terest and annuity money which is
due these Indians, and the payment OF
the same has been held up, awaiting
the appointment OF an agent; SO that
from the proceeds of the sales Of
heirship land, and with the interest
and annuity money, there will be over
1925 900 paid to the Yankton Indians
within the next thirty or sixty days.
One Point Is Settled.
The matter Of attorneys fees for
the p~robating of this Indian land has
been amicably adjusted between the
attorneys and the commissioner OF
indian affairs, and all of the deeds
which have been held up, owing to
this will be returned and paid of at
once.
A large portion of this money will
be paid at Wagner, and will go into
circulation there, which will tend to
relieve n financial depression which
there may be existing among the In
dams at the present time.

A number OF contest cases which
will attract attention, particularly
among the Indians on the Yankton res
ervation, have been instituted by
parties against the allotments of lane
allotted to Indians at Wagner, and will
come on for hearing before the United
States land Office at Mitchell.
There are ten of these cases. Tho
contests have been begun by William
f. Lyons, Katie Lyons, Mary Lyons,
Margaret Lyons, Patrick Lyons, John
F. Whalen, William T. Coughlin and
William l.. Palmer, against Indian al
lotments held by Sarah Bull, John
Joshua, Itkokipapi is Jushua, and the
heirs of John Eagle Track, Mary
Eagle Track, Ella Eagle Track. Thorn
rs Bull, Lille Bull and William jan
dron. These contests have been instr
tuted against these parties, and the
heirs of the deceased a%llOttees, on the
ground that the allottees were not
Yankton Sioux Indians, and OF the
ground that double allotments Of
ground have been made to them.
When these Indians were allotted
land they were allotted under the
schedules of allotment dated 1890,
1891 and 1894. Many Of these Indians
have different names. in fact the have
no family name rs a rule, and the
children we're given the first name
that came into their parents heads,
and in maly instances, one person
would go by several different names.
Confusing Nomenclature.
In some of these cases the name
under which they were allotted land
was not the name under which they
appeared on the census rolls at the
agency, and that is the case in a
large number Of allotments on this
reservation.
The land embraced in these contests
comprises over LOO acres, and is
worth at least $50, 900. Owing to the
land being SO valuable, and owing to
the facts that If these contests we're
sustained it will affect other allot-
ments OF land, the contests will be
vigorously fought by the Indians.
