Of her own color to be a "bad actor"
She is said to iDe q ''sunshiner," Of

vice Of drink. Mrs. Jarvis is the wife
OF Jesse Jarvis, q colored man who
has been before the police court on
many charges, including illicit Co
habitation with Mrs. Jarvis before
she bore that title, petit larceny and
other offenses.

eERHARz LEAVES TO MAKE NEG.
EssARY SURVEYS.
A MUNICIPAL PROJECT
Source Of supply ls Big Goose Creek
Will Cost In the NeIghborhood Of
&2so,ooo-Larse Enough for City Of
$4,000 People.

City Engineer Henry Gefharz and
corps Of assistants, consisting Of G. p,
Shipman, assistant engineer, and Ev.
erett Birely. Robert Foster and E. R.
Mckee, chairman and rodmen, left
yesterday morning for Sheridan, Wyo.,
where Mr.. Gerharz has been retained
by the city Of Sheridan to make the
necessary preliminary surveys, get
the necessary information and data
and prepare plans and specifications
for the installation of a municipal
water supply system.
The contemplated system will be q
gravity pipe line about Is miles in
length. The water supply will be OBJ
tanned from Big Goose creek, the in
take to be situated in the canyon
above the far famed Absarokee park,
and above any possible contamination.
At this point Big Goose creek becomes
a turbulent mountain stream, with its
source at an altitude where there is
perpetual snow. This assures Sheri.
dan of absolutely pure mountain
water.
To Prepare Plans soon.
The project contemplates an install
lation for 9 city Of $4,000 inhabitants
and will cost in the neighborhood OF
s25o,oo0. Sheridan, at the present
time obtains Its water from Big Goose
creek through q pipe line about nine
fmiles in length. This pipe has a ca
pacity Sufficient to supply 1000 in
habitants, but the city has outgrown
this and the water is slightly con,
taminated because OF irrigation
bitches emptying into the creek above
the point OF intake. The proposed in
s~tallation contemplates supplying both
systems from the intake In the can
yon.
It is proposed to have all the plans
prepared Immediately and to com
mence construction work some time
this summer. With the completion Of
this new pipe line Sheridan will have
one of the most modern and up-to.date
water supply systems for any city Of
it's size in the United States.
Mr.. Gerharz expects that the pre-.
liminary field work will take him
about two weeks, after which time he
will return and the plans and speci-
fcations will be prepared in his ONCE
here In this city.

an impressive and knowing way
which showed that he has not lost any
Of his vigor and power since he

ORCHARD TRULY PENlTENT.
MCFARLAND Thinks so-Federat'on
Men Do Not.

Denver, March 18.-'l know moth
ing about what will be done with Or
chard," said James MCFARLAND, the
detective who secured the confession
Of Orchard, when seen today. HE
was never promised any immunity
and never asked any. ! do not know
whether his sentence will be COM
muted or not. Orchard is truly peni-
tent. He made a clean breast Of his
guilt and told all he knew about it.
He told me he was willing to stand
any punishment which the law infict-
ed for his crimes.
HE is guilty ana he has confessed
his guilt. He has told all he knew
about those who caused him to COM
NIT his crimes. The fact that they
were cleared by juries makes no diff
ferencesto him."
Ernest Mills, acting secretary Of the
Western Federation OF Miners, said
today that the federation would re-
main passive in regard to the disposi:
ton to be made Of Orchards case.
IF Judge Wood made the statement
credited to him" said Mills, there is
little doubt but that he is paving the
way for freedom for Orchard. It has
been claimed all along that Orchard
would eventually go free. That the
political ring back Of it has promised
to go down the line tor Orchard is
also a well known fact"
Secretary Mills announced his In
tention to place in the hands OF the
postofice inspectors an anonymous
letter which he said had been received
by George Pettibone and his wife
since his acqui.tal of completely in
the steunenberg murder threatening
them with death.
President Meyer Of the federation
recently left Denver for San Diego,
Cal, to visit Pettibone, who is sick
there.

a%trocious crimes have been committed
in this and other states, and the con.
fession and testimony of this witness
is the first di .ect evidence which has
been secured fixing responsibility for
a considerable number Of said crimes.
The testimony in the two cases re.
vealed the fact that the defendant, as
an a~ccomplice, participated IN the
crimes Of arson and murder n 1899
which involved the blowing up-of the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan concentration
and the death Of two men. While APP

the sheriff Of the county in which 1t
was committed was present, only one
man was identified and Furnishes
therefor in the state courts. This de-
jfendant, upon the trials referred to.

and participation therein. giving the
names Of several others who were
movers in the transaction. In

miner in the Occur d'Alenes and is
now a resident Of the Cripple Creek
mining district in Colorado. These
are the only two men Of the large

This defendant also testified to q
long series Of, most atrocious crimes
committed by himself and others in
the state of Colorado, and he. was
corroborated in such details IN rela'
ton thereto that there can be nc
doubt about his participation therein
While these o6enses were committed

think, under the circumstances, is I'M
