On Charge of Criminal Neg
lee of His Sick
Child.
CASE WAS INVESTIGATED.
Boy Four Years Old Taken
From His Parents and Sent
to An Orphan Home.

Joe Arvin, a painter in the en-
ploy Of the Mogul Wagon Works,
was tried before County Judge
knight Tuesday on a charge of
criminal neglect in failing to care
for his child, IRA Arvin, aged 4 years.
A week or ten days ago the case
was reported to Mayor Meacham
and Inspector M. W. Merritt was
sent to investigate. He found the
child weak, emaciated from a pro-
tracted spell of dysintery, dirty, I'M
kempt and neglected. He was sitting
on the ground and from having been
left in the hot sun his hands and feet
were blistered, his feet swollen and
! his skin wherever exposed tanned the
color of mulatto. The child point
ed to his sore feet and begged the Off
Ger for something to eat. On the re-
port of officer Merritt, the mayor
sent City Physician j. W. Harmed to
look after the child. He found that
its life might be saved by prompt
action. DR.. J. E. Stone and DR.. L.
A. Tate had attended 1t early in
June, but since that time it had
been without medical attention.
While preparations were being
made to send the child to a hospital.
Mr.. W. D. humphrey, of the Ken
lucky ChiIdren's Home, became in
terested in the case and the
child was taken by the officer in
charge of the case before Judge
Knight, and his father giving con
sent, was taken by Mr.. Humphrey
to the home at Louisville a week
ago. There he is receiving every
care and attention and his condition
is steady improving.
Monday a warrant for the arrest
of the father and stepmother of the
child was issued and the examining
trial was held as above stated.
Arvin was held over to the Septem-
Der grand jury under a 5000 bond. |
Many neighbors of the family testi- |
fed to the lack of attention to the
bows needs and some of them had |
from time to time called at the Arvin |
home on Bentley street and fed,
bathed and furnished the child with
clean clothing. Among these were
Mrs. j. M. Ladd. Mrs. T, c. Dossett,
Miss Ellen Wicks, Mrs Z. S. Han
cock, Mrs. Morgan and others. Mrs.
Fowler, grandmother of the child,
and Mrs. Melton, his aunt, testified
that he was sick at the Fowler home
in the country and his father would
not come to see about him, that he
came once for 80 minutes in two
weeks, and that the child, when able
to travel, was brought to his par
ents.
The Arvins were defended by
G. w. Southall, their defence being
that they were too poor to do more
for the child and that the step-moth-
er. a young woman only recently
married, was herself sick a part Of
the time. The case has attracted
much attention since the boy was
taken to Louisville.
The neglect of the child, it APP
peaJs. was due more to ignorance
and lack of experience. as well as
the poverty of the parents. than to
an intentional and criminal disre-
gard Of the attention needed by the
sick child.
The neighbors Of the family,
themselves poor people, deserve
praise for calling the attention Of the
authorities and helping to keep the
boy alive until relief came.

Immense Project

Dams will be erected at the proper
places down along the North Platte
River and the water, after it has ser
we'd its purpose in the production of
power, will be used to irrigate every
foot of land, on both sides of the
river that can be watered.
The reservoir which contemplates
conserving the flood waters of not
only the waters of the North Platte
river and the many small tributaries
of that stream, but also the waters
of the Canadian, Michigan and Illinoi
rivers, the waters of which so, in
large measure, to make up the North
Platte river in North Park. The
rights of no ranchman or farmer in
the Park will be in any way infring-
ed upon or interfered with. The res
ervoir will hold 100000 acre feet of
water.
The filings of the company have
been made in the office of the State
Engineer of Colorado and the United
States Government has also approved
the plans and given its consent to-
all the work under contemplation by
this company, thus insuring the cor
poration solid and safe backing.
The legal Work of the company is in
the hands of Hon. F. y. Williams,
one Of the foremost legal lights of
Denver, and a man who was for two
years the attorney for the city of
Denver, a position that requires le-
gal talent of the very best. Judge
Williams is a member of the board
of directors of the company, which
is in itself a guaranty that the com
pany is a sound one and that all
its work will be clean and of the
most substantial character.
The work of construction by this
company VIII begin at as early a date
as possible, and while the work may
be delayed for some months and per
haps year, that it will go forward
in the course of time is positively
assured. The Government at one
time contemplated taking hold of this
very enterprise and only relinquish-
ed it when it had positive assurance
that the present company had abun-
dant means to carry on the work.

THE COWBOY MINISTER.

j. M. Norvell of Routt County
known in the pulpit as the Cowboy
minister, preached a good straight
out from the shoulder sermon at the
church Sunday night Perhaps, no
doubt, there were some who did not
like it very well, but Mr.. Norvell
did not seem to care for that in
the least He just took off his coat
and handed out one of the hottest
sermons on drinking, gambling, dane
ing and sin in general, that has been
heard here for many day. And
we believe that the plain facts of his
talk were as nearly up to the truth
as they possibly get; Yet people
don't always like the plain truths
put up to them so hard, but when
they have got to take them they
will feel just as well if not a great
deal better 70 having done so.
The church house was packed, be-
ing one of the largest congregations
seen here for some time.

MAMMOTH RESERVOIR IN NORTH
PARK TO STORE WATER FOR
POWER AND IRRIGATION
PURPOSES.
Clipping from the Saratoga SUM

Clipping from the Saratoga SUM
From time to time, during the past
few years, the Sun has mentioned the
fact that large power and ditch pro-
iect was under way and that when
Vbmpieted the company owning it
would be able to furnish all the pow
er needed for light, heat and power
purposes in the valley. Some three
years ago, when NJ C. Henderlider,
civil engineer (who was for many
years in the employ of the Govern
ment Reclamation service,) was here
he informed a representative of this
paper that he was, at that time, max
ing surveys for the a compay which
cotemplated a large dam and reser-
voir in North Park, as well as en-
pounding the flood waters of the Big
creek
Very recently we have seen the ma
maps and plans of this dam and reser
voir and have been given permission
to meake known to the public the
plans of the company, now that they
have been perfected to such an ex-
tent that publicity will not in the lea
interfere with the final accomplish
ments of the aims and purposes of
the company. Up to acertain point
in the affairs of any company it is al
ways well to keep its movements
under cover, owing to the fact that
there are many men ready to ham
per and hinder any movement for
ward unless they can have a hand
in the matter.
The enterprise contemplates dam
which is to be erected in township
twelve, north of range eighty-one, at
point in the canyon about four mile
from the state line between Colorado
Ohd Wyoming, This dam will back
the waters of the North Platte river
up into the Park seven miles, titus
covering up many ranches, necessia-
ting the purchase either at private
sale, or by condemnation proceedings,
of very large amount of private
property.
Power houses will be located at
convenient points below the dam and
power for electric roads, the light
ing of towns and cities and for all
kinds of machinery, will be FURNISH
ed from the plants of the company.

HIGH SCHOOL FOR
JACKSON COUNTY

There is a movement on foot to es-
tablish high school in Walden this
yearto be in operation for the next
term.
This Is something that we need
and might just as well have as not.
There will be plenty of high school
pupils in the Park next fall. All the
children that are in the eighth grade
this year will be ready for the ninth
next term, besides those who are al
read high school pupils, and then ev-
ry year there will be more children
advancing, till in afew years we will
have full graded school,
AS it has Away been the case here
after the children have passed throug
the ninth grade they have had to
go out side to finish their high school
necessitating much expense on the
part Of the parents
Jackson County can we'll afford to
have a high school of her own, and
every parent of this county should
be for this movement and use all
their influence to see it put through.
We will be glad to hear from other.
on this subject, our columns are
always open for communications.
