CALL MEETING
TO THRESH OUT
WATER ISSUES
Nampa.Meridian Users Will
Discuss Unpopular
Lane Ruling

Nampa-A mass meeting OF farmers
using water under the Nampa Meri-
dian system will be held here Friday
at ~ a. M. in regard TO the order OF
Secretary OF the Interior Lane i'll
which the amount Of water to the
Nampa- Nj ridian users may be cut
down.
Since the order was given out by
Secretary Lane and farmers have seen
the Importance OF it and the danger
considerable agitation. has now been
worked UP over the district to oppose
going through with the plan.
Monday a few representative far
mers from over the county met here
and made arrangements tor the meet
ing at which time they will consider
possible ways OF getting action i'm
mediately.
Farmers Angry
Apparently the farmers who will
be affected under Lanes rulings are
up in arms against him i'll making
his decision. Under it surplus waters

when the Arrowrock reservoir was
created, would be diverted to new
projects now being organized.
1t such condition should come

Nampa- M eridian would suffer greatly
from the loss OF water and conse-
Quentlv their harvests would be cul

To inquire into what has been done
and what may be done towards max.
ing Lane change this order, the meet.
ing will be held.
Over the project as whole which
now receives the Arrowrock ant
Deer Flat waters there is PRACTICAL,
no opposition to paying the Who'll,
cost OF the dams and in return receive
the entire supply from these places
Under Lanes plan, water not usel
in one portion instead OF being turnet
over to another part OF the projec
in need of it, would be diverted out

story made no mention Of the capture
of the assalant, The Index asserted
that he was taken into custody at Pay
cite and is now under the surveillance
Of Gem county officers.
The story is as follows:
"The Clinton ranch was the scene
of cutting affair this morning that
will probably cause Bill Francis to

sisting in the cook house and as there
are some IS men working on the ranch
at this time the work is very siren
uous and the men had been asked to
give the walters time to clear the ia
bic after each setting as all could not
eat at once, says the Emmett Exam
liner.
This mornir the Virginian was
on the war path and refused to wait
until the table was set the second time
and abused the boy for asking them
to do so, making some very rude re-
marks about the grub and the way
it was put up to them. The boy mere
" said that unless things were differ
ent he would take the matter up with
the boss and see that they were Civ
en- time to rid the table.
Attack is nexpected.
Later in the forenoon the boy was
out by the chopper talking to one Of
| the bosses about the affair and said
there was one Of the fellows that is
causing all the trouble this morning.
With that the southerner jumped
down from the machine and laid
down a stick he was feeding with and
started to abuse the boy but the men
kept them apart and they were stin
talking when the attention of the men
was drawn away by some incident
and at this time the man plunged his
knife into the boys bowels with ven
geance The boy staggered back and
the men thought he was going after
club until he told them his entrails
were coming out and then they knew
what had happened when the blow
was struck.
The boy was taken into the house
and cared for and the doctor called
and in the meantime the southerner
| strapped his gun on and made his
getaway. The sheriff is out with a
possee looking for him.
Little Hope for Recovery.
The boy was brought to the hos

hopes are entertained for his recov-
