ing on with the water from the Luna
malu gulch. This stream is small but
is being used for two purposes at pres
ent, to sluice down material for the
dam and to deepen the ditch which is
being used for the extension of the
core of the dam.
One thing that is particularly no.
ticeable at the dam is that every pos
sible precaution for safety is being OBJ
served. Even the Schuyler plans have
been improved on in this matter and
the added strength which has been CIV
en- the structure should make it stand
impregnable to any cloudburst or
heavy storm.
The big rock fill, which was en-
larged to nearly twice the size at first
contemplated, is going along rapidly
and nearly one hundred and twenty
men are at work. The final facing,
which is of smooth stone placed by
hand, but with no masonry, has been
placed on both ends and the middle OF
the structure is being rushed along,
Stone for the work is being obtained
from two quarries, one in the Luna
malu gulch and the other on the oppo-
site side of the dam and only couple
of hundred yards away. About two
hundred yards of rock per day is being
put in position.
Contractor Whitehouse is living ir

work and, through the personal atten.

along. Engineer James T. Taylor is
in charge of the work as the represent.

der that there may be no daIEer OF
contamination of the water from this
source. Important engineering mat
ters are referred to Superintendent
Campbell and handled by him and his
assistant, c. H. Kluegel. The work is
progressing in the utmost harmony
and therefore going along much faster
than was the case in the past.

FILTRATION PLANT FOR FARGO.

Water Supply Issue Comes to a Head
at Last.
The bond issue for 100000 for the
new filtration plant has been ordered
by the Fargo city council This is
the result Of several years. agitation
for better water supply.
There was no disagreement as to
the necessity Of the supply, but wide
ly different views were held on the
nature of it. Some favored Ultra.
ton system, others thought supply
could be secured from the artesiau
wells. There were still others who
advocated bringing the water by pipes
from the Minnesota lakes. Finally
water commission reported unani.
mously in favor Of mechanical Ultra.
ton system as the most feasible, ev.
erything considered.
The commission also designated 4
site just south Of the city limits. This
will be purchased. The present water
supply is pumped directly from the
river and the citizens do not use it
Tor drinking purposes, but secure
those supplies from water wagons
supplied either from the artesian wells
or from tanks shipped in from springs
around the Minnesota lakes.

William Jeffreys of Toledo, Ohio,

at the P. A. tower of the Great North

Jeffreys' right leg was completely
crushed off close to the hip and his
body lay by the side of the track un.

the track for some time in a con.

for help, but it was some time before
his cries were heard, and he received
assistance.
Jeffreys was taken to the Deacon

time after the accident Jeffreys was
able to talk, and told the physicians,
Doctors O'Keefe and Irwin, who were
called to look after the case, about
the accident. He stated that he was
on his way to his home at Toledo,
Ohio, where his relatives lived at 3OO9

the end door. His feet slipped and
his right leg went under the wheels
and as he was riding close to the
front OF the train, almost the entire

]. ]. Moore Found Unconscious From
chloroforn.
John I. Moore, we'll known in Mi

the land business for some time and
being the owner and operator of a
mine near Burlington, attempted sui
eide in his apartments above the Ar
cade theater at Minot
It appears that Moore has been in
Strengthened circumstances for some
time, and on Friday he went to the
United States Land and Investment
Co. and negotiated a loan from Mr..
Youmans. He stated that local alb
stractor was preparing the abstract
and Strengthening up the title, and
that he would bring in deed to the
property on Monday. Mr.. Youmans
knew Moore and believed his story,
advancing him $500 on the deal. Yes
terday morning Mr.. Youmans discoy-
cred that Moore did not own the
property described by him, and imme-
diately set about to look the fellow
up. Chief Hagen was asked to find
Moore, and, going to his apartments.
the chief found the door locked. He
looked through the letter chute and
saw Moore lying on the bed. When
entrance was gained to the room, it
was found that Moore has attempted
to take his own life with chloroform.
An empty four-ounce bottle was found
by the bed. Moore clutched a wad Of
cotton in his hand, which had evil

reform and held over his face. His
face and mouth were burned, and it
is believed that he not only inhaled
the chloroform, but that he also drank
a quantity of it.
There is no doubt but what Moore
attempted to suicide. He left letter
to friend, indicating his decision tn
take his life. The letter was dated
"7 a. m.," and 1t is believed that
Moore made the attempt shortly after
that time. It was II o'clock when he
was found, and although the doctors
worked over him for some time, it
was not until o'clock last evening
that he showed signs of recovery.
This morning he regained conscious.
ness for few minutes and talked to
the doctor He is resting easily and
will no doubt recover within a few
days.
In his letter to friend, Moore
stated that his business affairs are in
bad shape, and that he was discour
aged.

RELAY ROUTE AID TO RusTLERs.
Officers Cannot Catch Them With tho
Goods.

S"SSso SNssUOS NdSCn nSIn WITH the
Goods.
The Williston officers believe there
exists in North and South Dakota an
organized gang Of horse rustlers with
a regular relay route similar to tho
one that existed throughout Mime
sofa years ago and terminated at an
underground stable near Faribaule.
Within a few months hundreds of fine
horses have disappeared and no trace
has been found.
The man who performed the origin,
al theft is suspected, and in the early
morning visit has been paid to his
home. where he has been found quiet.
ly sleeping. The fact is that he had
gone fifteen miles away with the
horse, turned it over to another man
and hurried back. The second party
to the contract has taken the horse
fifteen miles further and turned it
over to third party, who sometimes
conceals the horse for several days
and then sends him on to the fourth.
Each rustler generally brings back
to his own stable horse that has
been stolen at the other end of the
route. It seems impossible to secure
one Of the stolen horses and the man
who stole it at the same time. The
confederacy is Industrious and seems
to find more than the usual temporary
profit.

DISCOVER GOLD NEAR DENBIGH
Sand Hills Sprinkled With Precious
Metals.

Sand Hills SprinkIed With Precious
Metals.
The discovery of gold this spring
near Denbigh, seven miles west of
Towner, is causing increased excite
ment. Numerous samples which were
sent away assayed from 80 cents to Sc
to the ton. The gold is found in the
sand composing the sand hills and
also on the prairie at depth of TWEEN
ty to forty feet. That underneath this
surface is found near a three-foot
vein of coal, while the entire sandy
district is literally sprinkled with the
precious metal.
1t is reported that the sand used by
the Denbigh Brick company, in the
manufacture of sand-lime brick, as.
says about 40 cents per ton.
Many of the farmers are prospect.
ing, and numerous claims have been
staked out. The find has had tend.
ency to advance the prices of land.
This section of the Mouse river loop
is in the coal, gas and oil belt, and
the people feel confident that it is
only matter of few years until
these industries will be fully devel.
oped. Then this will be one of the
richest sections in the United States.
About twenty miles north gas has
been found in paying quantities, and
a company will soon be organized to
sink wells near Denbigh.
Many Eastern investors have ar
rived in Towner the past six months
and have carefully surveyed the gold
and gas territory. The Commercial
club Of Towner will gladly give any
information regarding this locality.
