WATER FROM
HORSE CREEK
A New Project Launched for
Water Supply
THE CITY COUNCIL
APPOINTS Committee
Tho City Tax Levy has Been Fixed
At Twenty-Three Mills.

The city council held'a special meeting
last Friday night to discuss now water
supply scheme that has been prominently
brought to their notice through tho scram-
bio Of Judge Patrick and Col. Jack Faw
for water sources in the vicinity Of Horse
Creek. Both these gentlemen control
some lands on which there arc springs OF
water along tho creek. They started in
as partners in q project TO develop tho
water supply but fell out over division
Of tho prospective revenues, and each Is
now bent on eireumventing tho other in
finding q market for tho as yet undevel-
oped supply.
As means Of getting in on tho ground
floor with tho prospective water eonsum-
or Judge Patrick has made to tho city
councils Of Rocky Ford. La Jun.a. Man
zanola. ordway and Sugar City \ prcpo-
si,ion for a charter company composed a
committee Of citizens representative OF
each OF these towns. to whom no agrees
70 deed oscr-in fac. has since decided
overall his right. tito and in,ercs, in
any water supply contained on his lands.
In trust, so to speak. for these rnuneipali-
ties. ,hey to pay him wha, they consider
Just and equitable consideration for tho
same after tho value thereof has beon
definitely aseortained.
In appreciation OF this seemingly gener-
Gus proposition the council on Friday
nigh, named committee Of ,hroo to ro-
present Rocky Ford. They arc Col. J.
A. Loekhart, ]. r. Cunningham Of tho
First National Bank and c. J. Cover.
These gentlemen mot In La Junsa on
Saturday with tho representatives OF tho
other towns and after debating tho propo-
si,ion decided to incorporate as = COM
pany and accept Judge Pa,riek's offer.
Just what will ma,orializs out Of the
project Il seems too carly for. anybody TO
tell. but tho declaration Is that an abun-
dance Of good water exists In those Horse
Creek sources. and that large offers have
already boon made to buy tho wa,or pri-
vilcges or to finance tho development OF
a plant Tho estimated COS, Of this runs
all the way from 100000 10 $500. 900.
As yot however nobody has como for
ward with tho comparatively small
amour. necessary to demonstrate wha.
quantity o! water is actually available.
Until that is done probably no money
will bo forthcoming for contraction work.
|. perhaps remains for tho municipalities
Interested to give not only their moral
support and countonaneo TO tho project.
but to furnish tho money to show" some
body ,ha; their investmen. will pay. by
doing tho preliminary tost work. In tho
meantime wo have Tho Arkansas Valley
Water Supply Co. duly organized. and
deed to tho Patrick water interests duly
filed with the county recorder.

Arrested for Abduction.

A young man named Jack Reyes
was lodged in the county Jail Mon
day week on charge of abduction, in
enticing from her home at Plymouth
girl named BargalIa, aged Is years,
daughter CT T. Bargalla. 1t seems
Bargalla is of Mexican descent. The
girl and relatives attended an Indian
funeral in that vicinity on Thursday
October 3rd, and the Reyes boys
Jack and Edward it is reported
coaxed the girl away. On the follow
ing Monday, the matter having been
reported to, the officers, Norman
Wheeler, the constable found them

Jack was placed under arrest. Ed
ward Keyes managed to decamp, and
bis present whereabouts is unknown.
The Reyes boys have figured in
scrapes before. The people of Ply
mouth have been considerably ex-
ercised about them. The girl in this
case is said to be partly Indian, but
being under age, the crime is a seri-
Gus one.

Nearly a Fire.

The plumbing and tin shop of j. s.
Garbarini, at the corner of Water and
Broadway street, came near being
destroyed by fire between IL and II
O'Clock Sunday morning. Fortunate
ly one of the men happened to be
around at the time-which is not
usual on Sunday-and to this fact
is due the salvation of the premises.
Henry Chapman, an employe, who
vas attending the funeral of George
Clark, CHANGED to drop into the shop,
and found the roof on the south east
corner to be ablaze. Tho flames had
already burned hole through. A
prompt application of water exlin-
guished the fire before it had done
much damage, beyond hole in the
roof about two feet square. The fire
no doubt started from sparks from
the stove pipe of e. 9. Giunochio,
who occupies the dwelling house ad-
joining. The damage was wrought in
close proximity to the stove pipe. No
alarm of fire was given.

Returns from East.

Chas. 6. Heiser returned Tuesday
evening the fifteenth, after a trip
through the East covering a period of
five weeks. Two weeks of this time
he spent with his mother in New
York. 1t has been number of years
since he was in the metropolis so that
the wonderful growth of population
on Manhattan and the surrounding
territory was a revelation. On the
return trip he came around through
the South and visited some of the
cotton mills, which have sprung up
within the past ten years in the
center of the cotton belt. 1t was his
intention to have his mother accom-
pany him to California, but she had
lived fifty years in New York so he
could not prevail upon her to leave.
