To the members of the Salt River Val
 ley Water Users Associations:
 Pending the approaching election O: officers by the shareholders of the Salt River Valley Water Users Asso- ciation, many statements, counter statements, and I fear misstatements, have been made,-and are still current affecting, or intended to affect my can didacy for the presidency of your asso- citation.
 Having been connected with the va rious projects and plans having fer their object the adequate supply of wa ter to the lands in this valley, result ing finally in that project now under way, under the provisions of the Ma tional Irrigation act. as long probably as any one concerned in it, I natural ly feel an intense interest in it's nlti- mate and complete success.
 Not quite four years have elapsed since the passage of the National Irri- gation act. and with it the inaugural tion of an entirely new and untried policy relative to our lands, and with a public service practically unorganiz- ed, yet we in this valley are today to be congratulated upon the assurance of the early completion of a system of water storage and distribution among the greatest in the world, and beyond the highest hopes of our people as en- tertained but four years ago.
 The progress has seemsd slow, but when we consider the difficulties en- cOuntered, not simply in physical con- struction but in all the adjustments or individual claims, of the settlement or questions of policy, and the solution ct most intricate problems arising out of the peculiar conditions existing in this valley, the progress has really been marvelously rapid.

WAS SUICIDE FROM HERE?
NORFOLK BLANK BANK CHECK
ONLY MARK ON DEAD MAN.
KILLED HIMSELF IN LINCOLN

Stranger in Capital City, Who Had
Been at a Boarding House Since
November IL and Out of Work, Was
Thought to Come From Norfolk.
Is Albert Roll, who suicided at Lin
coin Monday afternoon, known in the
vicinity of Norfolk?
The only bit of paper by which any
location could be tackled to a man who
ended his life at Lincoln and who
claimed to be Albert Roll, was blank
check from the Norfolk National
bank. A telephone message from the
city was received shortly after the
tragedy in a vain inquiry as to who
the man might be, where he came
from and what should be done with
the remains.
No such name was known in the
bank here and no one has been found
who does recall such a name.
No description of the man was Civ
en- to Cashier Pasewalk, who talked
with Lincoln, but it has been thought
that perhaps the man may have been
known somewhere in this part of the
country.
The remains will be held at Lincoln
a few days, it was said, in the hope
that the man might be identified.
Roll went to a boarding house there
on the twelfth of last month and has
been out of work ever since.
Roll was a German about fifty-five
years of age. He suicided by hang
ing himself with rope. The suicide
wore a dark coat and trousers, brown
wooden shirt, a white SLOUGH hat and
light working shoes.
Lincoln, Dec. ALBERT Roll a
German, and supposed to be from Nor
folk, committed suicide, hanging in
barn in the rear of the Washington
hotel, 200 South Ninth street. To
fellow guests he stated that he lost
his wife and property and had moth
ing to live for.

County Attorney Bergman of Knox
county has issued the following circu.
lar to people of that county, which ap.
plies also to other counties of this
territory, including Madison, Stanton,
Antelope, Pierce, Boyd, Wayne Holt
and Rock:
Creighton, Neb., Nov. 2S.-To the
People of Knox County: During sew
eral months and up to the present
time, quite a large number of horses
have been stolen in northeastern Ne
braska, and the thieves are so thor
oughly organized that so far recovery
of the property and capture of the
thieves has been almost impossible.
The facts are the thieves are thorough
ly organized and the people are not,
and the larceny of livestock has be.
come so general that it is impossible
for the officers of the law in any part
of this state to be successful in their
efforts to arrest the guilty parties. On
account of these existing conditions
the people of Madison and other coun-
ties have organized a society by the
name of The North Nebraska Live
stock Owners Protective association
for the purpose of aiding the officers
to capture persons guilty of larceny
Mr.. G. w. Evans, president of the To-
cal association at Norfolk, is organic
ing these societies in Knox county for
the purposes here named and | most
urgently advise all owners of livestock
of Knox county to become members of
this association at the first opportunity
for the purpose OF aiding in the en-
forcement of the law, recovering stol.
en- property and arresting the thieves
in order that all citizens may be prop
erly and thoroughly protected in their
property rights. An organization of
this kind was made in Creighton last
night consisting of twenty-five mem
bers and | believe this number will be
increased to 100 within two weeks.
In order to make this movement thor
oughly successful these organizations
should be made in all parts of Knox
county. The sheriff is giving us his
active assistance in this work.
Yours very truly

County Attorney.

THIEVES BURN HEN HOUSE
AN UNUSUAL RAID AT FARM OF
WILL sWANEBACK.
ALL THE FOWLS ARE STOLEN

Another Raid Has Been Added to the
List Of Work Done by Chicken
Thieves in the Vicinity of Norfolk.
No Clue to the Guilty.
Stealing all of his chickens and set
ting fire to his chicken coop, thieves
raided and did extraordinary damage
at the home of VIII Swaneback, four
miles south and two miles east of
Norfolk, on rural route No. 4, during
the night.
Mr.. Swaneback is at a loss to know
who may have done the work and has
no clue. He was amazed when he
arose and went into the farmyard at
dawn to find his hen house In ashes
and the birds gone.
1t is supposed that the thieves are
the same who have been creating a
reign Of terror among chicken owners
in this section for some months past,
undetected. No new light has been
thrown upon the identity Of the
thieves and, so far as known, no eff
fort Is being made to trace them.
These chicken thieves have been
working not only in the country
around Norfolk but also in the city.
Itself Various coops in various plac-
es have been raided, one man having
recently gone to the barnyard to find
his valuable shepherd dog dead, as
well as twelve fowls.
The chicken thieves have become
about as serious a problem as the
horsethieves around Norfolk and it is
thought that the farmers and other
chicken owners of this territory, IL
one were captured, would go the limit
in Furnishing the culprit.
