SUBWAY PROVES
 SUCCESSFUL
Last Nights Test is Consider ed Sutficient-Its Practi-
 cabiIity Undisputed
ABILITY T 0cARRY OFF ALL
 SURFACE WATER SHOWN

Several hundred citizens braved the weather during the rain of last even ing in order to witness the first ac- tual test of the new subway follow ing the brief. but hard rain. Without a dissenting voice the subway from every standpoint was credited with being a bona fide success.
 At the top of the new subway from back of Main street near Tombstone Canyon. the water varied in depth from five to ten feet, yet in it's wild est rush. not the sign of an overflow was apparent. The big cement under ground passage was more than two thirds full of water with depth of over ten feet, yet it performed it's mission with a nicety and precision Of which it was intended and prevent ed even the suggestion of an overflow along Main street.
 The head of the old subway, just west of the Southwestern railway sta tion, more than cared for the deluge collecting and running southward on Brewery Gulch and Review avenue. although for the time being the streets were practically impossible
 Across the tracks and back of the Copper Queen supply house. the biz crowd stood. some with and some without protection from the rain. watching the rush of water along the rew subway, demonstrating in every sense of the word the practicability and necessity of the new subway.
 Unless there should be a cloudburst in the vicinity of Castle Rock or Clausen Hill. which would undoubted- ly overtax the present sewerage ar engagements. the present plan is more than sufficient to care for the flow from the mountains and streets lead ing into it. Those watching the ef. fleets last night were of the unani- nous opinion that the city's work in that line had been an unqualified sue cess

MAY SUBMIT STATE PROHIBITION.

The question Of attempting to have
this legislature submit to the people
a constitutional amendment providing
for complete prohibition in the state
is now being considered by those peo.
pie who have had the matter in
charge for some years.
There Is an element of doubt in the
mind of the temperance workers.
Some of the leaders feel that sue h an
amendment should be submitted by
this Legislature to be voted upon at
the election two years hence. Others
feel that the question should not be
submitted until the eighteenth gener.
al assembly and that a general educa-
tional campaign should be carried on
from now until that time.
The W. O. T. U. supports the
latter faction while several of the
other temperance organizations and
several of the churches support the
other. There is no conflict in the
matter other than the conflict OF
Judgment.

Troy, September 3-William Steven son, the sawmill hand who shot and killed his stepdaughter, Miss Gertrude Vann and shot his wife, near Grady. Mont gomery county. this morning, was cap- tured mile from Troy this afternoon. Sheriff Carroll received a message this afternoon that a man with a shotgun was coming toward Troy, having de- clared that he would pay $500 to anyond to bring him safely here. adding "I'll be d-d if will be butchered." The sheriff took a deputy and went in search of the man. A mile or two out he sa " the man on the railroad tracks and he and his deputy eased up on the bank of the cut covered the man-who proved to be Stevenson-with guns and arrested him.
 Stevenson admitted the crime but stated that he wanted protection. He fears lynching. He says that family troubles caused the shooting. He was divorced from his wife, out this morn- ing stole gun, went to the place and shot his wife and her daughter, the lat ter dying within a short time
 Upon the receipt of telegram stating that mob from Crenshaw county and the lower edge of Montgomery county was headed for Troy to lynch Stevenson, Sheriff Carroll appealed to the state mil litia to protect the prisoner. The Troy Rifles are now held in readiness in their armory.
 Sheriff Tatom of Crenshaw county, whose team gave out at Ensley, IA miles above Troy. in the search for Stevenson, has been in communication with Sheriff Carroll. Sheriff Tatom says that the posse coming to Troy is composed of men hunt ing Stevenson, and he does not think they are bent on lynching There is some excitement in Troy tonight but the consensus of opinion is that there will be no lynching. It is believed that when they learn that Stevenson is in jail the searching party will be satisfied and dis perse.
