HANGING IN KANSAS.
Dodge City Man Was Witness at One In Kan
sas and II Was a Legal Hanging too.

The statement has been made in a
number OF the state papers lately
that Kansas has never had a legal
hanging, but this is mistake, or a
mis- statement. Henry Lord, Of
Dodge City was witness at one in
Usage county, and has vivid recol-
lection of the aff4ir. This hanging
occurred in 1866 or thereabouts.
At Burlingame, a fellow named
Bates, prisoner of the county, shot
and killed Abel Policy, an old man
who was serving as a deputy sheriff
or constable and had been in charge
Of the prisoner. Bates escaped but
later was arrested for some crime at
Olathe, Kansas. While in Jail there
he confded to q fellow prisoner that
he was the man who had killed Pol
ley, at Burlingams. He told the
wrong man, it seems, for the friend
in Jail gave the thing away. As a
I result Bates was taken back to Usage
county, tried and sentenced to be
hanged. Billy Cozine was sheriff OF
Usage county, and it fell to him to
carry out the sentence. A make
shift drop was arranged in the court
house, and when the day for the ex-
ecution arrived, W. 81. Lord now Of
Dodge City, and others of the soldier
boys who had come home about that
| time were called in as witnesses,
Bates was dropped at the appointed
time.
The hanging Of Bates was legal,
and it occurred in Kansas, as no
doubt number Of the old timers in
Usage County will recall.s

Productive Land.

Here is the way they farm ia California.
One farmer had 45 acres in alfalfa. He
cut the alfalfa four times last year and
got six tons to the acre.
His income for cream was more than
500 per month.
One acre of sweet potatoes brought
him $l75.
Forty acres beans brought him $1,000
aud 80 tons Of unfed alfalfa brought him
s224.0O. Othes products brought him
$500.
You can have farm like this and on
easy terms. Write to W, A. Whitmer,

KICKED SON OUT.
Boy Lands at Dodge City With Tramps
Says his Father Kicked him out and
Told Him to Leave.

A youth Of seventeen was picked
up in The yards here Tuesday even
ing with some older tourists" On
account Of the boys age, he appears
even younger than he says, the sher-
if thought that he might be a run
away. He was asked il he had run
away from home and stated tnat she
had been kicked out Of the house by
his father and told to keep away and
earn his own living. Yesterday the
sheriff phoned to Jetmore to the
sheriff there and twas informed that
the boys story was true. The boys
father does not want him sent home.
The boys name is Lee Nickerson.
His father is a farmer and came to
Hodgeman county year or two ago
from Fall River. The boy seems to
be truthful. He does not try to tell
any big stories about being abused,
but he does say that his father kick
ed him and told him to "get out"
and stay out. When questioned as
to the trouble, he says he had no par
ticular trouble with his parents, but
that he could not suit his father in
anything he did. A few mornings
ago while he was doing chores, be
went to the house to warm his hands.
His father found him by the stove,
gave him a kick and told him to leave
thesplace.
The boy wants place to work and
is willing to work on farm or in
town, and he must be found q place
Sheriff Bell says he will keep him
here a.few days and find him place
II the boy is all right as he appears
there is no doubt that o home can bt
found for him here. II allowed te
leave town with tramps there will bt
a good chance for him becoming 6
tramp himself.
1t is hard to imagine the kind Of 9
father who could kick child out o.
the house with no care as to what
became OF him. This man has {
family Of eight or nine children, and
il he will treat one Of them this way
the outlook is pretty bad for the res
Of them. The boy here cried yester
day morning when questioned abou
his fathers treatment of him. HI
did dot seem resentful and said n(
hard things about his parents. HI
has no one it seems to go to for ad
vice and the world looks like pretty
hard place to him. He went to Grea
Bend first and tried to find work
but there was nothing there for hin
to do. He came on to Dodge City
arriving here poorly clothed TO
chilly weather, and u capital Of onl.
forty cents for providing for hi
wants.
Someone should investigate thi
matter. Perhaps this boy deserves
decent chance to make a start in life
A little, encouragement just nov
might make q great difference.

" ATER FIGURES
Fifty thousand Acre Feet Of
Water Wasted Here in
February
FLOOD WATERS or ARKANSAS
When Stored Gould Furnish Moisture
for 25O, 900 Acres Of Crop Lands

The ditch company is keeping q
record Of the volume Of flood waters
carried dawn the Arkansas river.
This record shows an appalling waste
of water. This water would make, a
Skortune il applied to the soil, and a
study Of the extent Of this volume OF
water will give an idea Of what can
be done with the Eureka Canal be-
you'd the scope Of applying the under
flow to lands along the ditch.
During the month Of February
just passed over $4,000 acre feet Of
water flowed down the Arkansas
river.
Enough to have produced more
than 100000 bushels Of wheat at 40
bushels to the acre.
And during year five times that
amount Of water can be stored from
the food waters for use on Ford
county lands. Enough 10 insure
100000 bushels Of wheat. And
enough to be still more valuable for
the portion OF land used in truck
farming.
Pretty big thing, isn't it?
Water enough going to waste to
wet down 250,000 acres OF Ford
county land.
To store this water and deliver it
to land owners is part Of the under.
taking Of the ditch company. When
it is done Ford county can easily lead
the state in wheat production. Also
in production Of some Of the other
crops, alfalfa among the rest. When
tits done Ford county will be known
as the greatest agricultural county
in the state. It will be worth while
to own property in this county then
The figures Of the food waters are
valuable in determining the supply ol
water available in this territory fol
irrigating purposes. Asa matter o.
fact no better supply would be neces
sary. No one but blind man need
to doubt this supply. You can see \
flowing by. As long as the rain fall
west Of us and as long as the snow
melts in the mountains thess waste
waters will keep coming.
Looks like sensible thing to pre-
pare for storing and using them
doesn't itP
The Eureka Canal people arr
spending vast amount OF money tt
carry out this plan. 1t is a goot
way to show confidence in the watel
supply and the soil here, to spenf
the amount Of money these people
are spending in preparation of stor
ing and furnishing water But al
of this is being done after careful IN
vestigation. Careful measureme On

RICHES OF SOIL WONDERFUL

But the object of this story is to call atten- ton once more, and for perhaps the tbou- sandth time, to the riches Of the soil along the Colorado on both sides, incideRt to the depositidg of this mass of debris during all the past ages. Going thYough the country on the Arizona side Of the river, for several miles below Yuma, one encounters the same type Of country anG soil that is founa in the Imperial Valley country around BTawleyr Calexico and other points west of the river The fertility of the black prairie soils of Hi nois has a. tonished people engaged iT aGFi- culture for nearly one hundred years. The fertility of the valleys Of the Nile has been a matter of history for at least coco years. Those who are falniinr with Illinois prairie soil, and those wEo know what the valley of the Nile is for agriculture khow that this lower Colorado River region surpasses both of theFsT.
 Ifyou ask a farmer along this stretch Of country if the soil is six feet, his eyes will open with astOnishlnent ai your ignorance. He will tell yoa no one knows whether ii is 60 feet 6Ue or e,00O feet deep. It is practically without bottom. It is SD thoroughly well mixed with sand, disintcgrated granite and other rocks that it never breaks It is as easily worked as heap of ashes, and re- spends to cultivation in way that is mar veIous.

The United States has an experiment farm on the mesa just on the outskirts of Yuma. Here
 ultS even more marvellous than in the valley are produced. Down on the lower levels there are little nips of frosty mornings occasionally during December and January, but on the mesa the breath of frost never touches the most del
 cate vegetation. Oranges grown at the Feder- al experiment station are unsurpassed in their delicious quality.
 Yuma is a busy, up-to-date town. The more modern improvements consist of several blocks Of attractive brick buildings. three story post office building, also of brick, and many other nice structures. Among some of the greater improvements which arc being made, are a s35, ,02O school building, s75.COo ice plant, a fine clubhouse for the railroad employees, a larger passenger depot. and the probability Of "a new court house to cost S75,000 There is con siderable business done there, but the people have net begun to awaken to the vast poSsibili ties of the place. They should at once erect an up-to-datc tourist hotel. It should have ample grounds around it and be planted with all kinds of tropical vegetation If atmosphere were only transportable like mineral waters, and one could send conSignments of this Yuma winter air to the East, the inspiration of it's health-giving qualities would bring 25.CO0 tourists every winter to the banks of the Colo rado River
 Yuma needs only to make known it's climatic attractions in the parts of the East swept every year by bliZZ rdS and SnoWStornlS to attract a city full every winter. he fertility of the val lev below will almost make itself known with out effort on the part of the people. But with valley full of intelligent and industrious rural population producing fruits and vegetables poultry. eggs, fresh milk and fragrant butter Yuma should be one Of the most delightful winter resorts in all America. There is every thing there to furnish tourists with the most heathfnl and declicOuS food and if the air in that region does not drive doctors to seek a living elsewhere it will be because the people GO not know how to live properly.
 The Laguna Dam will be completed Tn lSO9 and r ten years from today the attractions Of Yuma as health resort and the fertility of these bottom lands will be so well known that it will require S1,000 in cash to buy single acre of it,

CUT SEVEN CROPS YEARLY.

Arizona has established an experiment station in the heart of this big valley, which is some twenty-four miles long, and in spots ten to twelve miles wide, down on the lower level The results are wonderful. Last week they were cutting a crop of alfalfa on this eX- perimental farm, and for seven consecutive months they will cut succeeding crops. The only months when the crop IS not cut here are December and January.
 Cotton and tobacco grow wi the greatest luxuriance, and this rich alluvial soil will be noted in a very few years as the ideal spot in the whole country for dairying, hog raising the production of poultry and vegetables, which one heStates to call early or late, as they will be perennial New potatoes will be produced fn the middle of January, tomatoes will be ripe by the first of March, ripe grapes will be gathered in the early days of Nav and apri- cots by the middle Of the same month. Chic l1ens and turkeys flourish there in the winter time beyond al experience anywhere else.
 The rainfall is exceedingly light and comes ozly three or four times in a whole winter With 3n abundance of green alfalfa and veget- able the dry and not oVerkeated climate prevailing fn the winter months chickens are free from the disease that make their raising ci3hieUlt elsewhere. There is no spot in South crn Illinois or Missouri so adapted to the pro- GuctioH of corn as this valley along the Cobra do River. With alfalfa and corn the butter, cheese, eggs poultry and pork to be raised on a twenty-acrc farm will amaze those who have the experience in American aFriculsur2l affairs
 The winter climate around Yuma is a thing 80 intoxicatingly salubriouS hat no words can describe it. Those deserts of America, as we have regarded them heretofore, seem to oefy Che Ills that human nature elsewhere is so prone to contract and suffer from. The atnlos pierc is as dry as punk the skies cloudlessly clear thc air m.ld Gs possible, ard every r~sar7s seems to be ap inspiration 2t new fife.

ROOSEVELT'S QUIET DAY
Goes on Picnic with Family and
Has Fireworks at Night.
by Telegraph to The Tribu:


Oyster Bay, July Mr.. Roosevelt OBJ
served his usual Independence Day routine
to-day. receiving no visitors ard passing
the day with his family. In the morning
he sent a dispatch TO Mrs Jane Fuller
Francis, daughter Of Chief Justice Fuller,
at Bar Harbor, Me. The dispatch read:
Deepest sympathy from both Mrs.
Roosevelt and myself I admired the Chief
Justice as a fearless and upright Judge
and was exceedingly attached TO him per-
sonaliy.'
There was picnic party to Green Bay
for luncheon, and in the evening there were
fireworks on the lawn in front OF the
house. Mr. Roosevelt had been expected to
go TO Sea Cliff IN the afternoon to review
the Sea Cliff Separate Company, which
took part in the Oyster Bay reception when
Mr.. Roosevelt returned from Europe. but
at the last minute he sent word that he
was too tired TO come and would spend
the day at home resting with his family.
Representative Poindexter. OF Washing
ton will be here tomorrow, and Governor
Hughes is expected before the end Of the
week.
There was considerable interest in the
Reno fight at Sycamore Hill. Two teie-
phone calls from the hill were received IN
town. asking about the result or the affair
