from the village, crimes Of incest and
infanticide of the most revolving ma
ture were brought to light The facts
leading up the inquest are the most
shocking.
Rumors of cohabitation and child
births in the family of Robinson have
been current for many months but the
respect and esteem in which the fam
lily was held has always lived down
the gossip. The report was again
circulated throughout the village and
neighborhood during the past week
that an illegitimate child had been
born at the Robinson home and on
Saturday last Robinson called upon
T.. A. Wright, justice of the peace
and crown lands agent and asked him
to investigate in order that the fam

one Of Robinson's daughters had CIV

INDIAN WAR VETS
Organization to Secure Pensions Has
Been Organized at Denver

Denver, Aug. 12.-The National In
dian War Veterans, an Organization
formed In Denver, has for its object
the obtaining pensions for all those
who, while serving the government,
contributed their share to open for
peaceful settlement this great west
ern country.
These men as a rule are old and
feeble by reason OF endured hardships
and privations unable to perform
manual labor and on account of age
barred from obtaining suitable en-
ploymenL
A government which through its
liberality to its veterans OF other
wars, to its educational institutions
and its farmers, ranks as the very
first in the civilized world. should
surely not hesitate to give to this linz
tied number of surviving Indian war
veterans, enough to allow them a:
least living for their few remaining
days.
These men spent some of the best
years Of their lives in their country's
service, opening up this great west
ern empire, fighting under such noted
leaders as Custer. Merritt, Crook,
Miles, Forsyth, Mckenzie and others,
and should in their last days receive
government: recognition.
All those eligible to membership in
this organization are requested to at
once send in their application to the
Nationel Secretary and Treasurer. G.
r. Hauser, 1643 Market street, Dem
yer, Colo. when they will receive fur

Irrigation Congress

Spokane, WASH, Aug. 12.-Dr. A. G.
True, director of the Office OF expert

agriculture, spoke at today's session
of the irrigation congress, explaining
the scope and purpose of the irriga-

the use of water in irrigation, and its
purpose is the largest use of our wa

best methods in their use.
AT present the greatest need Of the

us for help, is along the second limo

uniformed as to the general condi.

live, and also as to the methods OF
using water in the production Of
crops. The ditch promoters do much
to supply the first deficiency but the
people Of the east are suspicious Of
advertisement. and they write by
hundreds to our department asking
about this or that scheme, whether It
Is legitimate. and whether the claims
as to crops grown are true. It has
been impossible to answer these in
detail, but we have, during the past
year, had prepared and issued series
