There is no finer tract of land in all

splendid facilities for reaching market,

Alto, convicted of the murder of Faith
Ell Leo Heinrichs in st. Elizageth's
church in this city, Sunday, February

Last night Alto made repeated at
tempts to commit suicide by beating
his head against the iron bars ct his
cell. His head was covered with
bruises when he was brought in court
today, and he was so weak he had 70
be supported.
Says He is Innocent.
When asked by the court if he had
anything to say, Alio said to the in
terpreter: 81 didn't do anything"
There is no likelihood of an appeal to
the supreme court, as Alio has no
funds and there has been no proof in
troduced of errors in the trial.
Will Be Kept in Pe~nitentiary.
After the court proceedings, Alio
was taken back to the county Jail,

Schilling G. Black, the civil engineers
with offices in the Albany County Ma
tional bank building, today completed
the maps and drawings of the Nam
moth Extension ditch, showing the pro-
posed irrigable lands and general
scheme of irrigation, to be built by a
company being financed by John w.
acres to be covered by the main bitches
and their laterals. The plans are now
being laid for the formation of a COM
pany to build the reservoir and the
thirty-six miles of ditcnes, and it is be-
lieved that work can begin during the
coming summer or autumn. 1t will re-
quire about five months, with an ordi-
nary working force, to complete the
task and prepare for the use of water
next year.
Reservoir for Flood Water.
A part of the plan is a reservoir TO
store the flood waters in addition to
the appropriations from the Little Lar
annie river. This will be known as the
Mammoth reservoir, located in town,
ship Is, range II. 1t will have an area
of 34S acres and a capacity of 5000
acre feet of water. An inlet ditch three
fourths of a mills will be built and all
outlet ditch of 1900 feet. The water
will be turned into the outlet ditch and
then carried again to the Little Lara
mic river, going into the main canals
through the h~eadgates about half a
mile below the reservoir.
An Immense Area.
The area of irrigable lands lies in
townships Is and 16, ranges 70, IA, rs
and 76, and come eastward as far ds
the Pioneer canal, just west of this
city. Lateral bitches will be taken
from the main bitches at intervals 10
cover the entire tract, which lies be-
tween the Big and Little Laramie riv-
ers and which embrace some Of the
finest land in the country. The OPEN
ing of this ditch and its branches
will mean one of the biggest things in
the history of the Laramie plain, and
there Is every reason now to believe
that the company will be formed and
the canals dug.

The Manner of Death.

The Cheyenne Tribune of Thursday
contained the following details of the
tragic death of Charles Stanley of
Cheyenne, whose father, G. w. Stan
ley, and whose cousin, w. o. Stanley
of San Francisco, were here at the
time word came of the event:
Going on a Visit.
"Mr. Stanley, according to railroad
reports sent to this city, left Cheyenne
late last night on train No. 10, with a
ticket to Potter, Neb, where he in
tended to visit with the relatives of
Mrs. Stanley, who died only a few
weeks ago at Ogden. He was told by
the conductor that the train did not
stop at Potter, and accordingly ar.
w~est-bound train from that point. The
train reached Sidney at $3.50 this
morning, and a few moments later a
car inspector found the body of Mr..
Stanley badly mangled lying alongside
the track on the side away from the
depot.
May Have Been Knocked of.
Investigation showed that all Of the
vestibule doors on that side of the
train were closed, and the supposition
is that Mr.. Stanley, seeing what he be-
lieved to be a west-bound train on the
opposite track, opened a vestibule door
and attempted to leave the train from
that side. The fact that the door was
found closed leads to the belief that
it swung shut, possibly throwing Mr..
Stanley from the train under the
wheels, where he met a shocking, but
doubtless instant death"
