UP TO TIE MAYOR.

Mayor Richardson knows, probably,
that garbage is hauled through the
streets of Richmond, this progressive,
up-to-d date, proud city, in open carts
in the day time. Yesterday morning
when Franklin Street was filled with
well-dressed people going to church, a
cart loaded with six or eight cans of
garbage passed through Shafer street,
having collected it's loud smelling stuff
from the palatial places in that choice
residence part of the city. In justice
to the garbage, it must be said that
1T did not smell quite so much as the
loads which were carted through the
streets during the hot weather last
summer; but 1T did not look we'll, and
it did not smell like the sweet
south blowing over banks OF violets,
How would 1t do for the Mayor to
call the Board of Health together and
have a heart-to-heart talk with its
members about this method of dis
posing of the city's waste? What is

part of its business to look after the
smells of the town? What is Mayor
Richardson for, except to hear the
complaints of his admiring friends
about the things which offend all the

rAMES BULL THAT KILLED
VALUABLE HORSE ON ROAD
(From Saturdays Daily)

NFTOm oaluTudS Laiiy( 40,
S. S, Sanford, a we'll known catt'e
man and one of the directors OF the
Green City Irrigation district, was in
Greeley yesterday on business. IL
was Mr. Sanford's son who had the
horse killed from under him by
mad bull some weeks ago. Mr.. San
ford says that the horse was Cne OF
his finest young colts and not broke
to driving cattle. He says an Ola
horse would easily have evaded the
horns of the bull.
The animal weighed 1900 pounds
and is now as docile as kitten.
When driven in the day after KILL
ing the horse the big fellow was still
angry and Mr.. Sanford turned him
into corral with a still larger bull.
Every cattle man knows that one
good licking Is all 1t requires to take
the sand out OF any old bull and for
the next half hour this fellow "got
his".
AS the big brute rushed back and
forth Mr.. Sanford stood close by
with a prod and worried the horse
killer in typical picador fashion.
After a half hour of this Mr.. Bull
laid down exhausted and ever since
has been the meekest animal on the
ranch.
Mr.. Sanford brings the report
that the hay which is the chief CROP
in his district will be as good as
usual. He planted eighty acres OF
corn, all OF which was burned up In
the past three weeks.

What appeared to be the remains

times have been discovered by en-
gineers of the Camtield construction
company. now building bitches and
reservoirs of the Las Vegas irri-
CATION enterprise in New Mexico.
The acQueduct is several feet be
low the surface and built of heavy
stone. 1t is about 3 feet wide and
its stones are put together with
greet accuracy. 1t follows the line
of survey of the new ditch. showing
that the area to be brought under
irrigation supposedly now for the
first time, was doubtless farmed
thousand years ago by the race
which lived there. Indications are
found of an ancient reservoir into
which the acQueduct carried its
waters and this old reservoir Is near
