AN APRIL FOOL JOKE
 ON TOWN OF SAL0ME
It is Spreading and Becoming an In-

The residents of Salome and vicinity are endeavoring to head off an eXtem. poraneous April fool joke, which has already extended through the northern part of Yuma county, the western part of Mohave, and is threatening to breaB into California if it has not already done SO
 It was intended when the joke wal launched, about II o'clock on the night of March S1, to keep it confined within the limits of the old town and the new town of Salome. The new town, by the way. consists of the place of "Si t2 r. the prOprietors of which are Si Wilkin- son and Dick Wick Hall.

All were appar- ently dead except Lewis. whose groan- ings were painful to hear. While De vine was listening to Wilkinson's de- tails of the tragedy. one of the bloody corpses arose and asked him to buy When he got control of his nerves again he bought for all the dead. who arose and ranged themselves in front of the bar.
 Devine then proposed to saw the joke off on the rest of the popula- tion of the old town. He set out for Salome with the story of blood It was now midnight. but the whole town was aroused and in ten minutes every man, woman and child were on their way to the new town.
 The women had torn sheets and towels into bandages and had gather ed up bottles of carbolic acid. Arthur R. Cree, another deputy. accompanied Devine back. and he, too. was appalled, when he looked upon the murderous work of Missouri John. This time the dead did not get awake and ask him to buy" but lay quietly as becomes the dead. Shorty Lewis could speak in a whisper. He knew that ne could not live, but he begged that when Missouri John was captured he be brought back; Lewis wanted the priv ilege of killing him. He asked the of ficers to take charge of his affairs and see that his poor old mother back in Illinois should get his property. With another curse at Missouri John
 
 thought was his last
 Devine directed Cree to saddle horse and ride to Mesquite Wells and overtake the murderer. wno in his drunkenness might not yet realize the enormity of his crime and would be easy to capture. But he was to take no chances. If the murderer offered resistance. Cree was to shoot first and shoot straight
 Cree set out about l o'clock in the morning In the meantime. the popu- lation from the old town arrived with the bandages and medicaments, and after the women had been given good scare the dead arose permanent ly, Missouri John. who had been hid ing in the back room, came out and the joke was declared off Everybody was "on" now except Cree, and he was expected back shortly from Mes quite Wells. He would then have to buy" and the incident would be clos ed.
 But Cree did not return; instead he sent a messenger. who said that Cree failing to find Missouri John at the Wells. had learned that he mad pushed on toward the river and that he mad procured a fresh horse and gone in pursuit In the morning wide-eyed teamsters. who had met Cree. came in to look at the dead. Messengers were sent out after Cree. but they could not Overtake him. They could easily follow him by the trail of horror which he was spreading through the country Everybody had heard of the murder at SalOme Word came from Salome yes terday that so far they have been un- able to establish communications with Cree, who is still hot foot after Mis- souri John and giving the camp a bad name.

missioners.
Dear Sir:-The papers which
| filed in the Interior department on
behalf of the people of the San
Luis Valley for the restoration of
their reservoir rights We're referred
by the Hon. Secretary of the In
terror to the Directors of the
Geological Survey for investiga-
tion and report.
| am now in receipt of letter
from the acting Secretary of the
Interior inclosing ii copy Of the
Directors report i'll which he dis
cusses at considerable length the
positions which l took in my papers
and in my oral argument before
the department, agreeing with me
in part and disagreeing with me on
several points, but yielding very
important point by asserting
that The government is in the
position of a private appropriation"
and concludes the report, in the
following words, to-wit:
! Il am, therefore, of the opinion
that each application for right
of way involving the storage or di-
version of the water of the Rio
Grande should be considered on
its merits, and that such applica-
tion should be allowed to the ex-
tent that may be possible without
interfering with the obligations of
the United States. They should
be passed upon with a view to per-
mitting the development of local
irrigation enterprises wherever
possible without interference with
the obligation of the United States
under the treaty, andthe feasibility,
of the Rio Grande project"
! presume from the inclosure of
copy of this report to me by the
Hon. Secretary, that he intends to
adopt its recommendation. which
as | understand the language used,
means that every application now
on file or which may hereafter be
filed will be passed on, by the
Commissioner of the General Land
Office, on its merits.
The Hon. Secretary also incloses
"A copy of letter of July 10, 1906,
by himself to the Commissioner of
the General Land Office, directing
action under the order of May %,
1906 modifying the departmental
order of December >, 1896.
The Directors report also
states that the recent treaty agreed
upon by Secretary Root and the
Mexican Minister has been ratified
by the Senate. That must have
occurred, | take it, after our Sena-
tors left Washington, else, | think,
they would not have allowed it
to go through. i understood in
Washington that it would not
come up in the Senate until De-
cember.
When the Hon. Secretary adj
vises me of his action on this re-
port, | shall take pleasure in con.
veyiug the information to you
and the people.
forward another brief to the
Interior to-day.
Very Respectfully,
CHAs. G. HoLBRooK.
