Work is progressing rapidly on the dam and it is expected to have water on the land within the next two weeks.
 The freshets which came down the river last week seemed to be more of a benefit than an injury to the dam, as it filled up behind 1t with sediment and also settled the work put in.
 While crossing the river Clifford Frost's horse fell and he went off the swift water carried him rap tdly down stream, he was lucky in catching hold of the derrick which he climbed, and went out on the wire to the bank, had he not caught the derrick he would have dashed over the dam.

TALK OF KATY EXTENSION
To Build a Line into the Cattle Region
Of Texas

Denison, Tex, June IS. The
plans of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas to get a line into the undeve-
loped portion of Southwest Texas
aud thus strengthen its position as a
cattle carrying road, are said to
have been perfected and will soon
be put into execution.
For some time there has been
talk of the Katy connecting Okla
homa City and Wichita Falls in
order TO get aimore direct linessinto
St. Louis, with the cattle shipments
which originate in that section, but
this seems TO be only link in the
chain, From Wichita Falls to
Seymour, Texas. is the Wichita
Valley railroad, which the Katy
interests now control. BY extend
this line to Sweetwater the Katy
will penetrate deep into good
cattle country and one which has
as yet been practically undeyeloped
The plans of the management
are said to also contemplate the
extension Of line from Sweetwater
down to Eagle Pass, Tex, where
direct connections can be made
with the Mexican International.
The connection in that way
would give the Katy one Of the best
Pan-American lines in the South
west.
The plans will require time TO
put them into execution fully, but
we'll informed railroad men say
that there is no question but what
they will be carried out.

fer that the conference might be
held elsewhere. 1t is predicted
however, that the Russian and
Japanese governments will deter
mine the place of meeting them
selves without outside advice, all
though suggestions moy be offered
either by the United States or BY
another power on friendly terms
with either Russia or Japan from
time to time. 1t Is known that on
diplomatic representative at this
capital has pressed Upon both cotin
tries and Minister Takahira the
desirability of The Hague.
Both Russia and japan are NOV
ing with the utmost deliberation,
for the game Of diplomacy now be-
ing played is Of even greater impoi-
tance to each government than are
the movements of the armies of the
battlefield.
After the completion Of the pre-
liminary arrangements, the pleni.
potentiaries must proceed to the
plan agreed on for the conference.
Should Washington or some
European capital have been select
ed, ii will require at least month
for the negotiators Of the two gov
will require at least month for
the negotiators of the two govern
ments with their respective stats
to come together, the distance from
Japan particularly being so great, a
shorter time scarcely could be al
lowed. In view therefore Of all
the conditions, and including in
the equation the factor OF unfore-
seen delays over matters of minor
consequences, it seems unlikely
that the conference will assemble
formally before the riddle of Au-
gust or the first of September.

SCREENING THE LID DOWN
Oklahoma City Officers Making Deter
mined Stand Against GAMBLING

Oklahoma City, June 6.-The
first conviction in the gambling
cases instituted in the district court
following the raid made by Sheriff
Garrison and his deputies some
days ago, was secured last night
when Cecil Proctor was sentenced
10 thirty days III jail and to pay a
fine of $3.50 and costs of the
case. won Rawwine on similar
charge was dismissed for want of
sufficient evidence for conviction.
Other cases will likely follow, but
all liti cation has been continued.
After all the gambling devices
which the sheriff said he had taken
from the gambling houses raided
had been stored away, some one
entered the room and took nearly
all Of it away. When this was
discovered by the court Instructions
were issued to locate the property
and bring it back. Apparently
this was easily done, although no
one seemed to know how it got
away. However, it has been stor-
en- in one OF the rooms adjoining
the sheriff. Office and is under
guard. Orders for its disposal are
awaited from the court.
The outcome of this fight against
the gambling houses is awaited
with considerable interest from
the public. 1t seems the most deci-
ded stand ever taken by the officers
against gambling. Should they
fall down now, and should gamb-
ling start again, it will seem more
like farce than anything ever yet
tried. The sheriff 5 office main
tains that the last of gambling has
been experienced in Oklahoma
City, and that those who have
made living at it SO far had better
go somewhere else CT quit the busi-
ness.

ALLEGED MURDERER ARRESTED
Charged With Killing Two men near

Denver, June I5.-A special to
the Republican from Las Animas.
Colo, says that George Bolton, for
merly of Eufaula. 1. T., was arres-
ted here today and is being held on
a charge Of having murdered two
men on his ranch near Eufaula
FIVE years ago. Bolton admits the
killing but says he committed the
crime in self defense. He says
that he has been roaming over the
southwest ever since. but that a
great longing to see his children
induced him to start for his former
home. Bolton was put off a train
here for refusing to pay his fare
and was recognized by a former
resident Of Eufaula who notified
the police of his presence in the
city. United States officers in Indi-
an Territory have been notified and
have ordered Bolton held.

chairman of the Board of Health,
made a statement concerning con
ditions in the town at the opening
of the session and this started the
talk. How to get rid OF the pools
Of water on private lots was the
chief difficulty presented. Various
methods of dealing witt. the ques-
ton were discussed. Mr.. Louthan
wanted the sewers tapped and the
water carried off in this way.
Cochran favored sinking wells to
quicksand to see if the water
wouldn't escape. Melton was ready
to support resolution to compel
property owners to do their own
draining. Other aldermen had
their own ideas. Little resulted
from the discussion, except nearly
at the close Of the meeting Mr..
Cochran's motion to try the we'll
proposition in one case was
adopted. t'n
Lee Olive made statement in
regard to conditions in his neigh
borhood. The stencil from laundry
water and from decaying canned
goods made life unbearable. A
motion carried that the chief of
police notify the Model Laundry
and the Williamson Halsell- Fraz-
ier Co., that these nnisances must
be abated, otherwise the police
will act.

were we'll rendered by the society
was the Gypsy Chorus" from

Washington. June I5.--Pressure
S being brou ght to bear upon Jap
au to induce her to fix the sum she
will demand as an indemnity for
the pending war as low figure III
cash as possible in the circum-
stances, This pressure is being
exerted especially by European
governments, but President Roose-
welt, it is intimated in an importan
quarter, also has advised the Japan
government that moderation in
her demand for a cash indemnity
not only would facilitate the nego-
tiatations of peace terms but
would be regarded by the powers
with particular favor. The pay
ment by Russia of any cash indem-
nifty as billion dollars, not only
would embarrass seriously the St.
Peterburg government but proba-
bly, disturb the finance of the
tntire western world. Indeed,
it has been suggested that such a
payment, to all intcrts and pur-
pose might render Russia a practi-
cal bankrupt. The opinion and
views on this subject have been
PERMITTED to reach the principal
advisers of the Japanese emperor.
Such discussions of the question
of cash indemnity has occurred, has
been made as merely suggestive of
conditions likely to be encountered
by Japan when she formulates her
peace terms. Thus far the Japan
ese government has refrained from
indicating the precise form of hel
terms. as 1t IS not her purpose
naturally to forearm the shrewd
and powerful antagonist which she

RAT BURGLAR BIT CHILD.
Little Girl Says Rodent Was as Big
as Kitten.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-T sudden
pain which awakened 7-year-old Re-
gina Moeller of No. 21S Tvenue E.
F'latbush, was bad enough, but when
the child saw what it was that had
hurt her, her horror and fright were
worse than the injury itself.
She sat up in bed to find a big field
rat gnawing one of her toes. When
she tried to pull her foot away the
rodent held on.
Regina's historical screaming
brought her father from an adjoining
room. 1t was not until he had reached
the bedside that the rat let go. Then
it jumped out of the window.
Doctor Dooling of the Kings county
hospital cauterized the wound on the
childs toe, and said he did not expect
serious results Regina and her father
declare that the rat was as big as a
kitten.
