Mr., Bowen informed the board that
from the view taken by the settlers the
King Hill project is not completed, the
amount of water guaranteed is not be-
ing delivered and the bitches are not
large enough to carry the necessary
water. He declared, however. that the
settlers stand ready and willing to
meet the bondholders and the COM
pany hackers on any reasonable propo-
sition. In his opinion. he said. the sec
ond contract the settlers have with the
company is in no way binding upon
the settlers.
In view of the fact the rfedDury set
tiers were not represented at yes

Judge Wolfe, and 1t was evident from

Governor Hawley suggested that at the

has secured additional data. He said
that in his opinion it would cost about

FIREMEN WILL ARBITRATE.
Prefer Aid of Erdman Act to Taking
Strike Vote.

| New York, Dee president Car,
ter OF the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen notified the
railroad managers of the eastern ter
ritory yesterday afternoon that in pref
ence to strike vote he was willing
to arbtTate, under the Erdman act
the firemen's demands for increased
pay and better working conditions,
He submitted an amended proposition
for consideration.
President Carter's amended proposi-
tion. submitted in response to the rail-
road managers ultimatum of Tuesday,
provides for the employment OF two
firemen upon approximately 10000 of
the largest locomotives in the terri
tory. This materially reduces the num-
Der Of locomotives upon which two fire.
men are demanded.
In making this modification, Presi-
dent Carter said the employment of
two firemen upon all large locomotives
would greatly increase the efficiency of
the locomotives, and that increased
earnings from any train thus operated
would be more than sufficient to meet
the increased expense.
In conclusion he stated that he was
to say that in order to avoid
submitting the question to the firemen
for a referendum vote, the firemen's
committee is willing to submit all mat
tiers in dispute to arbitration under the
Erdman act.

losing weight, which if continued, would
subject him to some affiiction.

hearing that should the three physicians
appointed by the committee report Da-
vie's life to be in danger, pardon would

when Young Arthur Bodreau, son OF

Bodreau boy had been absent from home
for some time when Lewis. nearing the
MILL heard cries for assistance issuing
from the water. He quickened his pace
and arrived at the edge of the pond to
see Bodreau disappear beneath the ice.
The boy had evidently broken through
at point several feet from the bank
and the current had gradually sent him
out into the middle and farther away
from help. Lewis didn't stop to test
the ice but made for the sDot where he
had last seen Bodreau. Reaching the
hole he could see the youth squirming
about below the surface of the pond
and without any more ado. Lewis es-
sayed a dive that brought him close up
