1t is now fifteen years since the irri-

1t is recalled by old timers here how
Senator Carey of Wyoming in a burst
of eloquence pointed to IA picture of a

the Colorado catcus bloomcd and bloom

Carey" and it is heavens climate and

needs is water. Give us the water and

Carey. I'll congress will give us water

Wyoming" retorted the tall sycamore
slowly, did it ever occur to the senator
that water is all that is needed in that

Raftsman Evidently Became En-
tangled in Underground
and Drowned.

The body of Levy Bailey, the RATS.
man, who had been missing for two
days, was yesterday found in the Els
Gambia river near Molino by search
ing parties who had been out since
the day that he first disappeared.
Bailey was stripped of all clothing,
and many believe that he became en-
tangled in some underground or he
could have reached the boat, or the
river bank, as he was a good swimmer
and had spent almost his entire life
of the river.
The cause of the drowning was the
loss of a small boat Bailey and an
other raftsman, both in the employ of
the Mcmillan Mill Co., had started
down the river to Ferry Pass with a
raft, when the small boat ted on be-
hind caught on a snag and broke the
rope. Bailey left the raft to. go back
after the boat, and later his clothing
was found on the river bank, showing
that he had gone into the water.
The searching parties, which have
been~out since that time dragging the
river and looking for the body, were
successful yesterday morning, when 1t
was found near Mol,no. A coffin was
shipped from Pensacola last night in
which it will be inferred.
Bailey leaves family at Moline.

homesteadS.

Proceedings were instituted in the
United States court yesterday by
United States District Attorney w. B
Sheppard to cancel the patents tc
tracts Of lands near Perry, Fla. which
are alleged to have been Illegally
homesteaded.
One tract Of 160 acres is in posses
sion Of the PowerMcLain Co., that
firm having purchased 1t from the par
ties who filed and who are alleged to
have made fraudulent entries, and the
other tracts are in possession OF Ma
10y Bros. and u. Potts, each consist
ing of the same acreage. They too,
have purchased the land from other
parties, and the charge Of illegal
homestead entries are made. as a rea-
son why the patents should be can
cellcd by the court and the land re-
vert back to the government.
A similar case was recently decided
by Judge Swayne and involved large

chased by ]. u. McCaskill in Santa
