SHERIDAN, wyo., Sept. 17-(special)-
Plans have been completed for the con-
struction of a large storage reservoir on
Cross creek. in the Big Horn mountains,
for the irrigation of 5000 acres of land lying
near Sheridan. A Colorado company, as
sisted by local business and professional
men, is behind the scheme The cost Of
the dam will not be great, as II will be con-
structed of logs and rock found at the site.
The dam will be twenty-five feet high. 200
feet long, and when the reservoir is full
II will cover 1876 acres. 1t is believed the
use Of this water late in the summer will
result in the growing of larger crops in
this vicinity, and will bring much prosperity

prize relic a b ,ckthorn cane presented to
him by the great freshman Said he;
The green little isle, with its wonder
ful history, was a fascinating attraction,
and yet could not help but feel sad to
see how little is being done in the way OF
developing its natural resources. Thous-
ands OF acres Of fertile soil are left uncul-
tiyated, although plenty Of able bodied
men seem to be out of employment.
To Mr.. Smiths amazement when he
reached Berlin, he found an invitation to
dine with the kaiser. 1t was dinner to
the emperors 800 generals. Mr., Smith
was the only man present in black clothes
the others being Respondent in fine uni
forms. After dinner the kaiser sent for

THEY GOT DUCKED

Rescued I'm Time.

Fred Tower and Frank Baker had a
close call last week Thursday, which they
are not likely to soon forget They were
duck hunting, in a steel boat on Long
Lake In the maneuYers attending shot
the boat was overturned. They succeed
ed in getting hold to help sustain them
in the water, but it was a slippery and
precarious one, and the water was cold
They let out some very lusty cries for
help, but it was some little time before
other members of party, nearly a mile
away, understood the significance Of the
yells They were finally rescued
by Ben Hall and another man, although
not without some peril to the rescuing
party. Baker and Tower were in the
water nearly half an hour, and Baker
was so chilled and exhausted that he
could not have held himself up more thar
few minutes longer. Tower was If
better shape They lost their guns anc
a good overcoat.

THUG MET HIS MATCH
Accosted Young Lady Who PIuckily
Lamb asted Him With Umbrella.

| VIM. Slocum one of that class of hu-
man beings not fit to live in any COM
munity was arrested Tuesday night and
placed in the lookup, where he ought to
have remained on diet of bread and
water for long time,
The miserable scamp followed a young
lady about six o'clock as she was walking
across the bridge to visit relatives on the
north side, accosting her with indecent
remarks and finally endangered to stop
her, she warned him If he didn't leave at
once she would strike him, he still pre-
sisted in his ungentemanly conduct when
the plucky girl goaded to desperation by
his insults gave him several blows oyer
the head and face with her umbrella, she
didn't spare any energy in delivering them
and the thug chafed and smarted under
the chastisement. Edwin Riker was
notified and Slocum was soon landed be-
hind the bars, where he remained until
morning. A complaint would have been
lodged against him but out of Difference
to the young lady, warrant was not is
sued on his promise to leave the city at
once and never return.
No punishment would be to severe for
such ours and his experience in this en-
counter may be lesson to him for all
time to come.
The fellow claimed he was drunk and
did Mt know what he was doing, if drunk
eness causes men to do such mean, low,
dirty tricks, then every man found drunk
should at once be taken care of until he
becomes sober.
