sent intimation to officers in charge
of King Victor Emmanuers fo9ces
in the field that he intends to five
the Europeans from Italian So44ali-
land, now that he has clearedHhis

STRAH0RN GIVES REVISED
PLEDGES To UNION LABOR

Acting upon the revised pledges
of Robert E. Strahorn, president
of the mysterious North Coast
railroad, to employ union labor
throughout, in razing buildings and
preparing his road bed through the
city, the Stone Masons union last
night adopted resolutions asking
the city council to grant the Mil
waukee and the North Coast rail-
roads franchises without the termi-
nal rate and common user clauses.
The action of the stone masons
followed close upon the making of
an affidavit by H. Dewey, business
agent of the Teamowners' union
No. 101, stating that his union
has taken action favorable to the
granting of the franchises without
the two clauses that are now caus-
ing the trouble,

PECULIAR
in THIS POLICE CASE

There's something peculiar about
the case Of Octavia Darling or Red
field, the girl for whose ruin Frank
Nugent is behind the bars at the
county Jail.
Now an effort is being made to
change defendants, it is learned,
swap horses in the middle of the
stream, as it were, and to ring in a
single man in place of the married
man under arrest.
Whether this is case of Damon
and Pythias on the part of the sim
gle man, to shield another man be-
cause he has a wife of his own,
or whether it is some sort of an
effort to fasten one mans crime
on another, can not at this time be
figured out. ~

HORSE KICKS
YOUNG GIRL

Hazel Franklin. the young daugh-

of Green Bluff, was kicked to
death by a horse at her fathers
house yesterday morning. Informa-
ton concerning the details of the
tragedy are meager, but, accord

the horse unknown to her par

been viciously kicked by the fright
ened animal.
The body has been brought to
the Hillyard parlors of the New
England Undertaking Co., and the
funeral will be held from that place
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
Burial will be made in the Peone

The old man declares that he is

Cherokee Bill came To Grand

he says he is he is beyond doubt
one of the oldest of living men.
IL will be remembered that few
days ago The Sentinel published a
dispatch from Florence, Colorado,
concerning an old Spanish couple liv-
ing near there, the old man being
11o years of age and the old woman
being 107 years of age.

certain destinies of the country will
be no. small one.
The fact, however, that she is Sc
years old and that her life since the
death of her son, Prince Albert Vic
tor, in 1891. has been one in which
sorrow and suffering have taken a
large part, may lead the queen dow
ager to withdraw into retirement
which may be more than welcome to
her. The fact that she has recently
become very deaf as result of the
catarrh. with which she has been
burdened, may also lead her to with
draw from activity of any political
sort. The death of her husband
would naturally put any social activi-
ties out of the question for some

REClA|MS HIS
LAND


valley seepage land has been
most gratifying. A 2O-acre tract
of land, directly south of the
smeiter, owned by James Nelson,
was the first TO yield a positive
answer to the query as to wheth-
er or not the fearful inroads of
seep could be overcome by in
teiiigent human efforts and the
answer is decidedly "yes."
After overcoming discouraging OBJ
stacles such as scale. codling moth,
various pests and frost. to say nothing
OF the problem of getting water on
the land, now comes the positive as
seruon that the ruinous but natural
result of abundant irrigation can be
offset and the land reclaimed at an
insignificant cost and in a short time,
in the Grand valley.
The tract of land in question has
been under demonstration but a few
months. 1t was known to be rich,
ioamy soil, and at one time was ex-
tremely valuable. For several wears
however, seep had been getting a
stronger and stronger hold upon it
and until the experiments began it
was considered almost worthless. A
horse could scarcely walk across the
piece of land on account of sinking
down in the swampy soil but 1t is an
entirely changed condition at this
time.
Mr.. Nelson states that he spent less
than $500 in tileing the land and 1t is
nearly certain that next year it can
be planted to crop, and if so it will be
the first yield which the property has
given up for several seasons. II was
less than five months ago that the
work of draining the land began and
already the soil is dry and loose

ering the land, shows where the wa
ter has been coaxed out of the soil
and it is certainly a gladstone sight to
see the once valuable property re-
sumo its former appearance and the
soil regain its rich fertile tinge.
This is not the only experiment
under way in the Grand valley and
the bug-bear which has always form
ed an undercurrent of talk in the
Grand valley that the building of
more bitches and more general cul-
tivation of the land in the upper part
of the valley would only serve to
deteroriate the value of the land in
the bottoms and near the river, has
been proven to have caused needless
concern.
1t may be expected soon to hear
that dozens of experiments of a like
nature have proven as successful as
that one carried out by Mr.. Nelson.
