A Beneficial Snow Storm.

The high wind which prevailed
here Saturday and Sunday, ended
up Sunday evening in a snow fall
of about FIVE inches.
Snow continued to fall at inter-
walls during Monday and that
night there came another fall of
four or five inches. The weather
continued moderate and the ex-
IRENE cold weather experienced in
other parts of the state has passed
us by. The storm stopped tie
hauling temporarily, and the tie
and freight wagons were parked
in town until 1t looked like All
army encampment. All moved
out yesterday morning and bust
ness on the freight lines has re-
sumed it's normal state.

Boy Anarchist

Extraordinary interest is being
taken in railroad circles in the
case of Roy Swartfager, the boy
telegraph operator who wrecked
east bound freight No. Sc at Pc
terson station west of here, killing
the engineer and seriously injur-
ing a fireman and brakeman, the
victims all being from this city.
The lad has made a written con-
fesion following the verbal story
of the crime and this shows that
the lad was not insane but a stud
ent of those who masquerade
under the guise of socialism and
practice anarchy. Some time ago
an anarchist stopped over at Pet
erson station and among other
things intimated that train wreck
ing was not wrong. Swartfager WAS
much impressed by his infamatory
talk and imbued with this spirit, it
only required a little whisky to in
fame the lad and cause him to do
the tiendish work to which he has
now confessed.
Swartfager has been charged
with the crime of murder in the
first degree. Judge S. T. Corn,
formerly of the Supreme court,
has been retained to defend him.
Judge Corn is now at the scene Of
the wreck in order to obtain evi
dence which may favor the lad

Struck Fine Water.

W. O.. Carpenter, who is rum
ming a well.drilling outfit, has
been engaged to sink a well for j..
b. Hassett, the manager of the
Charter Oak copper mine. Mr..
Carpenter says that he has, at a
depth of 10 feet, struck a fine
body of soft water which rises
within five feet of the surface.
The bedrock on hat side of the
river is struck at a depth of IL OF
IA feet, and water is found in this
all the way down, but not in suth.
cient quantity. AS the ground
down to bedrock is impregnateo
with the hot water of the minera
sprins here casing has to be useo
to prevent seepage.
The strikeing of this well o.
fine water is very encouraging to
the people of the east side, who
have nearly all been compelled te
to carry or haul their wate1
from the river. They will now b.
able to have weels of good pur'
water, as the same water is to b.
had, no doubt, at any point on tn

trymen in the state of Wyoming
the certificate of the state engineer
based upon the report of the water
commissioner, that the claimant il
in u%ndisputed possession of suffici,
ent water to properly irrigate the
land entered and is using the same
in accordance with the permit, and
the affidavit of claimant that he
has made a bona tide prior appro.
priation af the water, together
with such other evidence as the
particulars of the case may require,
should be accepted as sufficient
proof of compliance with the stat
ute and regulations issued there
under"
The question that is worrying
the state engineer is, what is a
bona fide prior appropriation"
A man may have a legal right to
sufficient water to irrigate his land
and not have a prior appropriation
at all. He may be the the very
last man to take water from a
stream and still have an undisputed
right thereto.
Uunder the new ruling and en-
tryman may call upon the water
commissioner of his district for an
examination of his bitches, reser-
voirs and other irrigation works
together with an inspection of the
lands reclaimed; 1t will be nee
essary for the entryman to pay
the expenses of this inspection.
Instructions for the examination
will be sent to each water COM
missioner and the state engineer
will base his statements to the land
office on the report of the commits
sioner Laramie Republican.

is to the effect that Mr.. Barnes,
who has been visiting relatives
and friends in that far away coun-
try, will be home shortly. He
says they have been having al
most constant rain and the result
is that the country is flooded with

PRICE FIVE CENTS
A Rule Modified

"A washington dispatch contains
the following interesting informa-
ton to desert land entrymen in
the state of Wyoming:
The secretary of the interior
has decided that the desert land
entrymen in the state of Wyoming
who has a certificate of the state
engineer based upon a report of a
water commissioner. that the claim
ant is in u%ndisputed possession of
sufficient water to irrigate the land
entered, and is using the same in
accordance with his permit, and.
who makes affidavit that he has
made a bona fide appropriation of
the water and has furnished suf-
ficient proof thereof and shows
compliance with the statute and
regulations of the department, may
procure a patent to his land, Here
tofore the department required a
certificate of the engineer based
upon action of the state board of
control, which can only issue after
all water rights upon 3 particular
stream have been adjusted.
Readers of the Republican will
recall that State Engineer john
son took this matter up with the
department some months ago and
the ruling of the secretary modi-
flying the former requirement is a
distinct victory for the state engi-
neer. Men who have fairly earned
title under the law will be able to
get patent without having to wait
until streams are finally adjudi-
Gated.
Desert entrymen may take the
following as a fairly accurate guide
in making final proof, They must
show that they have a clear title to
sufficient water to irrigate all of
the land in an entry susceptible of
irrigation; that they have conduct
ed water upon each and every legal
subdivision of the entry; that they
have reclaimed and raised an agri.
cultural crop upon at least one.
eighth of the land or, if an agri.
cultural crop cannot be raised be-
cause of climatic or other condi-
tions then it must be shown tnat a
merchantable crop of hay was
raised must be clearly set forth.
Under the new rule, as set forth
in the Washington dispatch quo
ted, entrymen may show that they
have appropriated their water in
accordance with the state law,
have made proof thereon and that
their proof has been passed upon
and approved by the state engi.

water commissioner for the dIvis-
ion in which the land is situated

Secretary of Interior.

The following order issued from
the Office OF the Secretary of the
Interior will be of public interest;
1t shall be the duty of the spec.
ial agent on receipt of any charge
or complaint or upon information
being acquired by him from any
source, that an unlawful Enclosure
is being maintained by any person
or persons, association, or corpor-
alton, to at once proceed to secure
sufficient data, including a de-
scription of the lands inclosed,
with reasonable certainty, not nee

1t shall be the duty of the spec
ial agent, and he snail be 80 in
struced, to be alert and vigilant to
detect the existence of Enclosures

manner of an unlawful Enclosure
there must first be filed with him
a formal complaint by some per-
son or persons acquainted with
the facts, but it shall be his duty,
as hereinabove stated to take the
initiative himself.
In connection you are further

The Marvel Gifts NcighbOrs.

The success that is attending Rock
Islands undertaking in raising fund
of 100000 for the encouragement of
new factories is a marvel to neighbor-
ing cities, but no less so than the
spirit with which the people, regardless
of their opportunities to give, have en-
tered into the movement. There is no
Sinking, no beating about the bush, no
knocking and no going about with long
faces because of the assessment. We
are all good-natured about it. Best of
all, there is no manifestation of at
tempt to take advantage of another, nor
sneaking schemng to gain option on
valuable property ground outside the
factory district with view to gaining
at the expense of the whole people who
have gone into this project SO sener-
ousIy and with such marked public
spirit.
The people are all working together,
unselfishIy, and with common aim
to make Rock Island greater.
This much, for the benefit of other
cities, is the explanation of the success
of Rock Islands plan and purpose for
Greater Rock Island.

A citizen of Minnesota has gone be
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion TO complain about the tariff sheet
of the Pullman Sleeping Car COMPANY
He has travelled some in his time; he
rides in Pullman cars when he is on
the road, and every time he pays for
a seat or a berth he makes note of the
amount in a little book he carries.
These charges have been presented to
the commission. and the Minnesota
man asserts they are outraGeously
high He asks the commission to en-
ter an order compelling the Pullman
company to let him have its accOmmO-
dations for less money.
The case is a serious one, and the
Pullman company has been cited be-
fore the commission to make answer
and show reason why its tariff sheet
should not be cut. In this case the
sympathy of a good part of the public
that rides in Pullmans is with the Min
nesOta man. A man gets into a Pull,
man and for cramped accommodation
for "a hours is asked to hand over s.
