 from Charles Metcalfe. Mr. Richards

 least quantity sufficient for purposes
 Of irrigating twenty or thirty acres of
 fruit land. The theory advanced by
 many who have studied the conditions
 in and around Kingman is that there
 is cupshaped basin into which the
 water from the mountains flow under
 heath and overflows at the low points
 around the rim. Below town there is

 the overflow is secured in an artesian
 How in the upper part of the basin
 large amount of land can be brought

 Mr. Richards will have little trouble in getting large supply of water, but it is artesian flow that he most desires. So far there has been but one flowing well struck in the county, but this really was the only we'll sunk with the idea of getting a flow of water. This wei, is at Fort Mohave and is situated on the bench lands east of the school. |
 Caldwell Wright, who was sent to Pioche at his own request to remain with an old time friend, is reported to be in Los Angeles and contemplates returning to Kingman. Wright is a pioneer of the county and will probab- ly end his days here. He has many wealthy relatives, but refuses to live with them, preferring to remain a charge on the county and the free life of a nOmad in the sun kissed land of | Mohave county.

CLOUDBUaST IN DENVER
Four People Are Missing and Much
Damage is Done as Result OF
the Flood.

Denver Colo Aug. 9.-Nearly 1000
people in the West Colfax section of
Denver were driven from their homes,
damage was done to the extent of
800, 900 and four persons are missing
as the result of a heavy food caused
by a cloudburst at Green Mountain,
which swept down Bear creek into
the Platte river in mass of water
fifteen feet high late last night and
which lasted for several hours.
Two Denver and inter.mountain ict
terurban bridges and three city
bridges were torn out by the great
stream of water which rose to a
height of six feet on several of the
streets in West Denver.
Standing out In clear relief as the
real hero of the calamity is James s.
Garren, who resides at West Ninth
avenue and Sheridan boulevard. Rid
ing horseback ahead of the torrent
which swept down the Morrison road
through Broomfield Park arh into the
homes of hundreds of the West Col,
fax residents, Garren shouted warn
ings. At the most dangerous points
he stopped and urged house holders
to hurry to the hills. He undoubtedly
saved many lives by his action.

GIRL IS KILLED

Inquest Today.

Rochester, N. Y, Aug. 3. - That
Anna Schumacher. the l7-year-old girl
whose Lody was found this morning,
and cruelty buried at Holy Sepulchre
Cemetery, was cho:ed. beaten to
death after being crimnally assaulted,
is the Coroner's conclusion based on
the autopsy. but the circumstances OF
the crime are unknown.
For a time suspicion was directed
toward an empIoye of st. Bernards
Seminary until it was learned that he
had been at home in Illinois.
A broken spade was found near the
lonely spot where the victims body
was hidden. II was taken from pig
pen at St. Bernards Seminary. Hav-
ing dragged the body into the shrub.
berry, the murderer buried it in a shal.
low trench, covering 1t with earth and
leaves.
The body was in pitiable condi-
tion, the head, face, chest, arms and
hands being covered with bruises and
scratches. The bone that supports
the tongue was fractured by choking,
the body was covered with blood and
the hair was full or dirt and leaves.
Part of the clothing was removed.
The girl evidently struggled desper
ately to save her honor and her life.
An inquest will be held tomorrow.
Miss Schumacher left home Satur-
day to place flowers on the family lot
of the Catholic cemetery. When she
failed to return by night search was
instituted, which ended in finding the
body today back of the old ice house
in the cemetery property.

GREECE REPLIES
TO TURKISH NOTE
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANNExA.
TIoN MOVEMENT IN ISLAND
or CRETE.
AL WAYS Been FRIENDLY
To Turkish Government $500 Declare 5
Future of Crete Is With Four
Protecting Powers-Stua-
ticn Is Relieved.

| Athens, Aug 9.-The Greek Govern,
ment today replied TO Turkeys note
asking that Greece express her dis.
approval of the annexation agitation
! in Crete and to formally declare that
she had no ambitions regarding the
island.
| The reply reaffirms Greece's inten-
tion of maintaining neutrality, but dc
clares that it would be beyond her
lawful capacity TO make an announce
ment respecting the future of Crete,
which rests entirely with the protect
ling powers. Officials say the situa-
Ition is materially improved.
The reply protests against Turkeys
complaints and gives instances of
Greece's constant endeavor to main
tain and increase frank friendly rela.
tions with Turkey. 1t recalls the en-.
thusiasm with which the Greek ele-
ment in Turkey worked for the tIi.
umph of the constitutional regime
there, points out that had Greece
cherished the designs attributed to
her she would have tried to profit by
the trials and difficulties of the new
Turkish government. Instead. the
note declares, Greece mas done all in
her power for the uppeasement cf
Turkey.
In the Cretan question, the note
continues, the Turkish government
has several times proclaimed that the
conduct of Greece has been frank and
loyal. Then declaring that Greece can
only leave the question of Crete to
the protecting powers and confirm To
their decision the note repeats the
assurance that Greece being In no
way implicated In the annexationist
movement in Crete, Will preserve the
same correct loyal attitude she has In
the past. In conclusion the note
says:
I'VE trust that these frank explana.
tions will dissipate all misunderstan !.
ings and help to inaugurate an era OF
cordial and loyal relations between
the two countries, to their mutual adj
vantage"
