rian who had fought many duels, aft
er having safely come out of his AZ
toenth encounter determined to retire
from the field. On doing this he re-
solved to give banquet to those only
who could prove that they had partici
pated in at least FIVE duels. Selecting
three Of his friends. all Of whom were
entitled under the condition to an In.
vitation, he asked them to examine
the credentials of those who claimed
the right to be present.
AS have said, the count proposed to
retire after his fifteenth encounter.
Some said that at his twelfth he had
shown lack Of nerve. which was re
peater and grew upon him in his sub
sequent encounters. and that the ren.
son why he intended to retire was that
he dare not continue in the field. His
twelfth meeting was with mere boy
barely eighteen years old. The chal
lenge was sent with a statement that
the count had killed the challenger's
brother. Whether 1t was the youth OF

this his twelfth adversary or the cir
cumstance Of that adversary's fighting
to avenge his brother or some super
stition no one knew, but MennerZek
showed an extreme distaste for killing
the boy, intending TO pink him. But
the youth fought so desperately that
the count was finally obliged to run
him through TO save his own life. The
youth did not die. but it was said that
he would never recover from his
wound.
All these facts and encounters were
the talk Of Vienna, and never was
there so much interest manifested in
any function as "the immortars' ban
quet celebrating his retirement from
the field in which he had so long held
the most conspicuous place. For two
months the committee examined ere
dentials. Among the applicants was
one woman. She had been out only
once, but claimed that for woman to
fight duel with a man was equivalent
to the record of ''the immortal him
self. She declined TO appear before
the committee, but sent a certificate
of physician who had attended her
after her encounter in which she had
been wounded The committee, all OF
whom were gallant gentlemen, unani-
mously voted 70 admit the applicant.
When the evening for the banquet
arrived Count MennerZek received his
guests In an anteroom communicating
with the banquet hail. lie looked
about as IL for some one and said:
"But / have been told that | am tf

One OF the guests who was to stand
as second in an affair to come off In
the early morning had II case of oucl-
ing pistols within reach. They were
brought. The count appointed one of
his guests to act for him, and the lady
appointed another to act for her.
But such action was superfluous
The count knew that he was doomed

from Salt and is said to be even better
 for drinking purposes than that found within the irrigated districts.
 However, one of the most important items in connection with the pumping of water on the reservation by motive power developed at the Roosevelt dam, will be determined in the near future the cost per acre for irrigating desert land. There are hundreds of land owners and prospective land owners to the south and east of Mesa as well as in the Paradise valley north of the Arizona canal and also in the western end of the valley who have for the past year been trying to get line on this very proposition as to what it will cost them to get power from the gov ernment so that they may install pumps and develop their own water supply by using electricity as a motive power. The cost of pumping the wa ter from the well which has already been put in operation will of course not apply to wells where a greater lift is necessary but it will doubtless furnish a basis on which contracts may be made. Incidentally it might be re- marked that the bringing into of several thousand acres of land on the Sacaton reservation will be of considerable interest to Mesa. The Indians do a good per cent of their trading at this place and market q of their products here.

WATER FUR RESERVATION
 One of Pumping Units in Operation
 FOR 4 THOUSAND ACRES
Another Well Will Be Equipped With a Pump Next Week and One a Week Will Be Installed Until Plant is Complete

For the first time in a good many years the Indians on the Sacaton res- ervatiOn are about to come into pos- session of valuable water rights which will permit them to grow grain and in I a measure follow out some of their ] inclinations which they have attempted | for some time but were forced from | doing from the fact that their water had been wrested from them by the enterprising white man.
 The reclamation service has one pumping unit in operation on the res- ervation or in other words the pump has been put to work in one well situ- ated about a mile and a half or two
 miles from the Gila river and south and east of Mesa. The Indians are welcoming the new idea and are dig ging their ditChes and making exten-
 sive preparations for not only putting
 in their old land in corn for a sum- mer crop but they are clearing new
 land and expect to soon have that in
 cultivation. The irrigation water is
 reaching them none too soon for the
 past season has been a very hard one
 for them to withstand. It Is stated
 that about two hundred and eighty acres of wheat represents the entire
 output of the reservation and that was Irrigated from pump used in the bor- ing of the wells in that locality. The water in the Gila which has long since diminished until it amounted to pre- cisely nothing has not only deprived the Indians of irrigation water but they have been bringing their stock to the constructed camp where wells are be- ing bored for water
 There is. however, another feature which has been demonstrated and that is the power necessary to pump water for irrigation. The well which has been pumped is holding out remarkably The lift Is thirty and one half feet and the draw down during eight hours continuous pumping remained steady at an average of six feet and nine inches. The real importance of this becomes apparent when it is known that the capacity of the pump during the eight hours is two hundred and eighty miners inches. IL is es- timated that one well of this character is capable of irrigating no less than one thousand acres and it has been de- termined that 1t represents about forty five horse power. While one well has been put in operation and will be used continuously as soon as the Indians are ready for the water another we'll will be put in operation next week and still another the week following. This will mean a total amount of water for the irrigation of three thousand acres to be furnished to these people within three weeks.
 The water developed on the reserva- tiOn has been found to be entirely free
