A SHOCKING DEATH

One of the most shocking &C.
cidents that lever occurred in Man.
haitian district, resulting in the
death of the victim, occurred
between the hours Of p. m. Mon
day and z p. m. Tuesday says the
Manhattan Mail. when L. F. Golish.
manager of the water company
there, fell down we'll sustaining
injuries which resulted in his
death.
1t will never be known just how
the accident occurred, rs he was
alone when it happened, but it is
generally supposed that he was
descending the we'll when a round
of the ladder about ten feet from
the top gave away, precipitating
him to the bottom, distance of
about rs feet A platform short
distance above the level of the
water was probably struck by the
falling body as there were
indications of it and his left leg
and hip were frightfuly cushed.
One very surprising feature of the
accident is that the unfortunate
man climbed the lad der to the
PLATFORM after the fall, and was
there found his back leaning against
the wall of the we'll, with life
extinct. :.......-
AS near as many be learned Mr..
Golish started his descent about q
p. m. Monday. The next day a
neighbor of his, S. E. Smith noting
his continued absence and fearing
something wrong, went looking
for him.
The hunt resulted in the finding
of his remains in the we'll about
z pm. Tuesday. There is no
telling how many hours the man
suffered previous to is death DR..
Garner, who viewed thee remains
and assisted at the inquest, stated
that death had occurred at least
six hours before the body was dis
covred and ascribed the cause of
death to shock from the violent
injuries received.
Mr.. Golish was about 33 years
Of age, married and the father of
three children.

PEW WASN'T WHITEwAsHED ].
Lad Saves the Family Reputation by
Dropping HE Only Cent In tho
Collection Box.

Years ago there was a great meet.
Ing Of certain religious denomina.
ton In Chicago. Among many impor.
tant matters considered by them was
the condition Of their benevolent en-.
terprises. 1t appeared from carefully
compiled statistics from missions of
all kinds, that the members OF the
denomination In the northern states
during the preceding year had paid
only 38 cents per capita.
An eloquent and hun orous brothey
.tscussed the subject before a large
congregation. He said that the fact
shown by statistics reminded him Of a
rich but penurious man in Wisconsin
who was never known to contribute
anything either for missions or local
church expenses. He had a little boy
who had just donned his first pair of
trousers, and was, as proud of his
pockets as a peacock Is of It's tail. -.
The little fellow had noticed that
many people in the chuYcha droppad
money into the contribution boxes,
and decided that he would dU SO, too.
He became the lordly owner :of:a cent.
On Sunday his father and, mother
took him to church, AS usual, a col.
lection was taken. but neither of his
parents gave anything. ~
The boy became excited. jumped on
the seat, and ran his hand down into
one Of his precious pockets, got hold
OF the only cent he had, and proudly
dropped 1t into the contribution box.
AS the collector passed to the next
he heard the little boy say to his
father: $50.

pew would have been whitewashed

dam in the Arizona project, will
be in wild country. and it may
be necessary for the government to
build a railroad fifteen miles to
carry the materials, if the Oregon
Short Line refuses. 1t will cost
$5,000,O00 and will irrigate $50,
600, 900 acres. The valleyis narrow
and the dam will hold packed water
for fifteen miles on the Boise river.
Another dam of great importance
of the west will be the one to be
built bv the government on the Ric
Grande. 100 miles above Ell Paso,
Texas. 1t will back water forty
miles and the lake will hold 200, OOC
acre feet. 1t will cost $50, coo. 0OO
and will irrigate 200, 1000 acres of
land in the Ell Paso and rich Messils
valleys.
One of the most difficult
engineering feats attempted by the
reclamation :: service is the con.
struction of a sihpon under the
Colorado river at Yuma. Shafts
are to be sunk 100. feet deep on each
side of the river and tunnel built
under the river. When it is finished
$1,000 acres will be irrigated and
the improvement will cost $3.50, 900.
The tunnel is built IN soft, rocks
but the greatest difficulty is ex-
perienced with quicksand in build
ing the shafts.
In short time the work on the
Pathfinder dam, in Wyoming, will
be completed, only the finishing
touches remaining and the building
of few gates to hold the waters.
"The projects now under way
will irrgate 100000 acres of
land, and of this number 900, 900
acres are already under water, said
Chief Engineer Davis. For next
year we will have $4,000, 900
in addition to the portion of the
$40. 100000 bond issued for work
on the projects already started and
those mapped out. The $20,OOO,-
600 issue is to run for several
years and, Of course, all of it is
not to be spent next year. The
number of acres now under ditch
shows the vast possibilities of the
arid regoin and there is no telling
what the future holds for the
west"
