By Polico in a Raid on a Pool

New York, April 80. For the
first time in recent police raids here
on pool rooms and other Inwbreak

Captain Sheehan, with three moo,
gnined admittance to nn alleged

the door was swung ajar, however,
scores of persons rushed from the
rooms, which are located in a
brown-stone front residence, and
attempted to throw the Captain
and men over the balustrade. Cap
Sheehan knocked severnl prospec
tive assailants unconscious with
his club. IJ is men were being rap
idly borne toward the stairway,
however, and pistols were quickly
drawn. With bloodshed as a pos

IRRIGATION FROM WELLS.
Andres Canales was in town
Thursday last and in conversation
with an Echo reporter stated that
ho was well pleased with his two
urtesinn wells. Next year, he says,
he intends to use part of the water
from one well, which flows 210,000
gallons every day and night, to
experiment iu truck farmflSfc. His
wells are only 420 fe& deep aud
the How is very satisfactory.
It'nqnires about 27,000 gallons
of wuier to put an inch (low on nn
acre ot land hence It will be seen
that he can easily cultivate twen
ty acres and irrigate it abundantly
from oi.e well and have plenty of
water. left for stock purposes, af
ter making all due allowances for
evaporation and wastage by seep
age along the irrigation ditches.
The great trouble with the inex
perienced iu attempting to irrigate
is that they try to oovJgr too much
gronnd with a given quantity of
water, overlooking the indisputable
fact that one acre properly cultivat
ed aud abundantly watered is more
profitable that even twenty nereis
not well tilled, aud irrigated and
theiirnoiljg! union less. Alioe Echo

the English Quaker colonist, met
nuder its spreading brancheu the
chiefs of the Delaware tribe of red
men and concluded the famous
treaty which, became the .founda

wealth of Pennsylvania. Among
other pleasnnt things Penu said to
the children if the forest: "We
meet In the bftntd pathway of good
faith and good will. No advant
age shall be taken on either side,
but all shall be opeuuess aud love.

The Indians listened with
delight, for Penu was a new type

Penu's treaty tree was a spread

for its associations, aud Penn him

estate on which it stood. It was
often painted, and copies of the
original drawings are still in ex
