Kremmling, Colo, Sept. 2O.-
Dragged from the room of his "af-
finity." Miss Ruth Schumacher, by
a mob of twenty enraged men dis
guised as whitecaps, the Rev. II.
Harsha, a retired Methodist minister,
was last Tuesday night horSewhipped
until he begged for mercy and was
then taken to his own ranch a mile
away, where he was told to remain
with his own wife and his two chill
dren under pain of worse punish
ment. This morning Miss Schumach-
er is under arrest on a charge of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses,
while her minister-admirer is vowing
vengeance upon his assailants as he
lies on a bed of pain In his own home,
tenderly nursed by his still faithful
wife.
Citizens Grow Indignant.
The horsewhipping of the Rev.
Harsha last Tuesday night is the cli-
max Of months of Indignation felt by
the citizens of Kremmling at what
they charge is the brazen defiance of
law and custom by the ex-preacher
and the girl who appears completely
infatuated with his charms.
Rev. Harsha apparently is nearing
the three-score mark, while Miss
Schumacher is "a. She is a hand

UNION MEM ORDERED

Must Show Cause For
Violence in STRIFE Of
Builders.

A petition was filed in the District su-
preme Court yesterday by a number Of
master builders, some Of whom are
members Of the Master Builders Assoeia-
ton and Employers Association. for
injunction restraining members OF the
Building Trades Union Of the District
from molesting the employees Of the
builders. or from using violence in
carrying on their strike
The prosecution charges that the
members Of the Building Trades Union
used picket and boycott methods in pre-
venting men from working on buildings
in pursuance with their effort to estab-
fish the closed shop in the District. The
compliments further declare that the
sole purpose for which the strike was
begun was to injure them.
Justice Gould issued a rule against
William Magham and twenty-seven
other members of the Building Trades
Union to show cause way they should
not b. restrained. The hearing OF their
side Of the matter Is set for next Fri

GRAND VOLCANIC PHENOMENA
Lovers of nature and natures
forces can see the record of grand
est volcanic operations between
the Big Butte and Wood River,
Cinder Buttes being a central
point. One lava flow has followed
another with varying results. One
crater 800 feet in diameter has
poured out a stream of lava as
thin as water, that flowed for 90
miles, and spread out to a great
width. Following along the base
of the mountains to the westward
it backed up into every little val.
ley until its grade was exhausted,
and in one such instance the main
flow found a new avenue of escape
and was drawn off suddenly from
the foot of the valley, leaving it
covered with a coat of mail. In
one place the point>o of a mountain
extending out into the plain, had
headland at it's extremity, and
the lava poured over the ridge,
leaving the headland an island in
the lava, and making cascades of
lava that hardened as they poured
over the rocky ridge.

suit. In most cases the craters Oh
vents have closed up with molten
matter which cooled and welded
the sides. Sand and dust have
b. en- carried by the winds to fill
up the shallow pits o. crevices,
and vegetation, usually sage
brush, covers it over. The more
recent flows are still clean, like
sag from a furnace, and the com
parative dates of the flow may be
determined to some extent by the
deposits of soil and the decayed
condition of the lava or the absence
of it. Examples may be seen
within ten or fifteen miles of
,Blackfoot, of old flows, one upon
another, varying greatly in age,
and topped out with cinder blown
from nearby craters or pot-holes
by the action of escaping steam or
gases in the lava after it had be-
come too thick and weak to flow.
Bubbles forcing. their way to the
surface would throw out clots of
mush- like lava which would cool
in mid-air so that it would fatten
but little when it fell on. the other
rocks or cinder. At this stage,
when the flow ceased, the molten
matter in the crater or pot.hole
would recede a few feet or a few
yards and harden, and in that con.

similar swail lies west of Aber.
deem, and was formed when the
high bluffs east of the settlement
were the river bank, and it was
filled with water from there to the
high bluff on the reservation.
After this a change took place
and the volume of the river was
greatly reduced, so that it filled
the space between the lower
benches, and the periodical over
flow built up smaller "hood
plains" and cut small swails as be-
fore, many Of which are to be
seen in the farms bordering the
river. The next period decreased
the volume of water again, and it
flowed between the present banks.
During these periods, great
streams that developed on the
PLAINS or came from the noun
tains on the north, flowed into the
master stream at Thorn Springs,
Tilden, Alkali Slough, (Spring
Creek, Big Hole, Little Hole and
Tartar Springs, carving their chan
nels thru the old lake bed, and
cutting great alcoves where they

BIG LOST RIVER VALLEY
This valley is about sixty miles
long and has a large drainage sur.
face. Its arabic lands have a
breadth of from five to eight
miles, aud most of the irrigating
done in the valley is with Lost
River water taken direct from the
river during the irrigating season,
from May to October. The rest
Of the year the water runs down
the channel and Is lost by sinking
in the Snake River plain. This
water, with that from other streams
coming from the mountains of
Central Idaho, is supposed to
pass into the lava stratum, and in

60 years old, clinging to soil de
posits made by the wind. Ii
many places where a spur of Laws
flowed out into the plain, ten o.
twenty feet deep, the substance
burned away under the edges
while it was cooling, and it spill
down by its own weight while hot,
and left a crevice a few feet or &
few yards wide, with a section OF
lava standing at an angle like the
roof of a house.
At Cinder Buttes many of the
old craters are still open to con.
siderable depth, and one is bot
tomless so far as Investigations
have been made. In one whose
depth is about fifty feet there is a
body of snow hal has drIfteu in,
and lies there in the form of white
ice in August, protected from the

The upbuilding of the lava west
Of the Big Butte, covered a por
ton of the alluvial fan referred to,
which formed from Il Z wash from
Big Lost River. A great belt Of
lava encroached npon it along the
soutl and flowed across it within
a few miles of old Arco, joining
with the bench on the north and
east, at the foot of the mountains.
The river cut through it at the
lowest point, making a canyon
several miles long, inst above

that the great lava deposits, lying
hundreds of feet deep and having
an area of about $4,000 square
miles, form a great storage reser-

rows constituting number one;
risamthe- Narrews, tora- point near
Darlington, number two, and from
there down, number three. The
kind of reservoirs referred to here
is for underground storage-that
is, spreading the water on the sur
face by irrigation, and OBTAINING
it's passage thru the valley by
compelling it to perculate thru the
soil and the deeper stratum of
sand and rock.
To make this idea of storage
palmer, let us suppose that the
water in the river would traverse
the full length of the valley in
three days and sink in the plains
Oh the fourth day. Under the
present water system, this IS what
it does during seven or eight
months of each year. During the
other four or five months it is used
according to the decree of the
Court which provides that the part
thatadoes not sink at the various
along its course, shall be di-
vided among the settlers accord
ing to priority of right. For *
ample, when there are 10, 600
inches of water in the river, it
would furnish 100 inches each to
100 farmers scattered thru the
of the valley. A, living
the head, M, living at the
middle, and Il, living at the edge
of the plain, with 81 others scat
along, each using 100 in
ches. In the course of a month,
(estimated) 50 per cent. of this
that was spread upon the
land, will have percoIated the soil
and found Its way into the river
bed again, am it can be used by
farmers in the middle valley; so
per cent. of the water already
used in the middle valley, has also
found its way into the river bed
and is used by those in ths
third valley. The first so per
cent. is used in the second valley,
and after a month SO per cent. of
hat is in the river again and can
be used late in the summer in the
bird valley or reservoir. In this
manner, part of the water is lost

lentIy retained in the soil,
