and the men went outside to settle
their differences. There was no wit.
ness to the stabbing itself, and as
soon as he committed the Ricord took
to his heels and has not since been
located, although the officers are hot
on his trail. Geyser is located on the
Great Falls road, just over the line
from Fergus county, and it is thought
that Ricord may be in hiding in this
county, as he is a sheep shearer, has
some friends at the sheep camps, and
would not have far to go to reach a
place of concealment.

Records evident desire to get away
is rapidly dissipating any chances he
may have had to plead self-defense
to the charge of killing Hedges cold

witnesses to the tragedy shows that
Hedges was the aggressor, nothing
has developed thus far to indicate that

For Better Health.

The odors that originate from
poorly kept corrals, or decaying
vegetation at this time of year are
alike unpleasant and dangerous to
the health of the people. Air
laden with noxious gases is a
prolific source Of disease, as has
been proven by changing the
sanitary condition surrounding
macy cities. Havana has been
changed from a pest hoe of dis
ease to a health resort by remov-
ing the filth which had been
accumulating for years and pro-
viding pure water and air. In
like manner can the health of our
small communities be improved
Every citizen, who either cares
for his own family or the city;
welfare, should see that his pig
pens, ccrrals and orchards are
kept clean and free from danger
Gus odors.

Honor the Old Veteran

In the death Of Hans Hammer
last Friday morning at the age OF
70 years, we are called 10 part
with we'll known figure in the
development of Lehi. The large
majority Of those who were asso-
ciated with Mr. Hammer in the
early days have preceded him in
death. The few old veterans
who yet remain cannot safely
count many years of life before
they, too, shall be called to meet
the inevitable end. The new gem
eratien should never forget those
who pioneered this country. The
memory of their worthy labors
should be kept green and the de-
Ginning years of life yet left to
the few be made as pleasant as
possible.
No criticisms, because of old
fashioned ideas or peculiar meth
hods in life, are ever in place for
the old settler Habits of
thought and action have often
been fixed by environments radi-.

To Pump Water.

After thoroughly con sidering
the feasibility OF pumping water
from Utah Lake to the Lehi fields
for irrigation purposes, the Com
mercial Club instructed its Irriga-
ton Committee, through Jas. II.
Gardner, chairman, to file on a
stated number of second feet OF
the surplus water in the lake
The filing has been made and a
meeting of the farmers called for
next Saturday evening to discuss
the plan.
The first cost of the plant and
all pipes necessary would BIZ
about $40 90 per acre for the land
to be irrigated. Two or three
dollars per acre would, it has
been estimated, be sufficient TO
operate the plant each year.
No doubt Salt Lake County
will raise legal objections to the
procedure above mentioned but
it is difficult to conceive OF q
courts granting permanent in
junction stopping the project
when the Salt Lake supply is NO
to be lessened. The plan is tc
utilize said waters as have nevel
been in use either by the Sal
Lake or any other people, anc
make it do service in irrigatinl
the soil.
The country must be built W
by every proper means. and wher
surplus water can be made ia
quench The thirst OF the diy soi
making it productive, nothing
should stand in the way of its be
ing done.
The plan is no doubt feasible
The water is lying idle. Thu
machinery will not cost sufiicien
to discourage the proposition as
business venture. Cheap pewe
can be supplied.
1t is to be hoped that the farm
ers will give their moral supPor
to this movement to suppl,
sufficient water for the fields
Once accomplished the product
iveness OF the soil will be increased
a third and the harvest mad,
practically sure,
Lehi will have taken steI
forward and placed herself in
position for future growth whel
the supply of water is sufli ciently
increased.

BIC GRAIN FAILURE
REACHES THREE
MILLIONS

CHICAGO. July 1.-The failure of
the grain and stock brokerage firm of
Knight, Donnelly & Co., which occurred
several days ago, has assumed gigantic
proportions. Although Receiver Porter
has not finished his examination of
the books of the concern enough has
been ascertained to approximate the
liabilities. These will aggregate not
far from 100000. The assets may
sum up $2,5OO,OOO, though these may
dwindle considerably, owing to the
character of many OF the loans made
by the firm.
The assets are made up largely of
stocks, many of them not listed. Some
are securities in promoting schemes
such as gas companies in small towns,
which the firm undertook to float. Con-
siderable of the liabilities are notes for
money borrowed from friends and bust
ness associates. These notes of hand
may aggregate 100000.
The magnitude of the failure was
discovered at meeting of the bank
creditors today. Upon comparison of
the bank accounts the total was found
to far exceed all previous estimates.
The failure was precipitated by specu-
lative operations. The character of
many of the securities was such that
quick realization was impossible. In
consequence of that fact, there is ex-
pected to be a remarkable shrinkage.

BUYS THE PROPERTY
BUT PAYS NO MONEY
tFrsm fridays Daily

There was a surprise sprung yester-
day at the trustees sale of the Amer
lean Copper Company.
The property was bid in for $4,000
by Attorney R. E. Morrison for his
clients, Ben Blanchard and Thomas
z. Fitch, although they had instituted
proceedings several months ago to
set aside the order for adjudication
made by Referee in Bankruptcy 7. C.
lob.
In view Of the pending litigation be
tween Blanchard and some of the priu-
eipaI stockholders in the company, it
was not supposed that he would be a
bidder, and 1t is believed that he did
80 in order to fortify himself in the
legal controversy that is in progress.
No money was paid. and when the time
comes to confirm the sale, Blanchard
may, if he chooses. decline to produce
the money without mourning any pen
atty fOrhis default.
Trustee Rollins NJ. Hoekaday CON
Quoted the sale yesterday, and after
the reading of the advertisement and
of notice of sale. Robert f. Morrison
took hand in the proceedings. He
notified the trustee and other interest
ed parties that there is now pending
an action In the district court to set
aside the order of bankruptcy, and
aid that if the court should sustain
the action instituted by Ben Blan-
ehard and the Howell Mining Com
pany, the sale would be null and void
and the purchaser would not be entitled
to possession of the property Thus
far there was no suspicion that Nor
risca was i prospective bidder. Mr..
Hockaday proceeded with the sale by
announcing that Under Sheriff Dave
Neagie would receive the bids. He then

MOROCCAN DISPUTE
LIKELY To BE
SETTLED

PARIS, July Prince Won Radolin,
German Ambassador, called at the
foreign office this evening by APP
pointment, and during the course of
two hours talk with Premier Rouvier,
received from the latter the French
response to Germany's note concerning
Morocco.
The French reply takes into cog
sideration the assurances which Ger
many has given relative to French in
terests in Morocco, and modifes some
objections first raised against the pro-
posed conference.
The general tenor of the French re-
ply is favorable to the principle of a
conference. In diplomatic circles,
therefore, the controversy is regarded
as practically closed. Nothing ap-
parently now remains except to adj
Just details. This, however, may
