At Troy last Monday Robert Hat
field was shot and fatally wounded by
Deputy Sheriff John C. Deviiie while
resisting arrest. A warrant hd been
sworn out by Mrs. Hatfield, who
charged her husband with be.iting
her. H was while attempting to serve
this warrant that death came to the
accused. Hatfield was represented to
be a member of the famous Hatfield
family of Kentucky, a feudist and a
bad man generally. He had boasted
that no officer could arrest him, and
Deputy Devina was duly warned. He
accordingly armed himself with a
Winchester and took with him a com
panion when he went to serve the war
rant. Hatfield was ordered to throw
up his hands, but instead of doing so
he reached for his hip pocket, when
Deviue fired, shooting him iu the"
breast, from the effects of which ha
died the following day. The body was
taken to Globe for burial, and a
coroner's jury fully exonerated the
officer. At the time of his death Hat
field was working for the Troy and Man
hatton company as a miner. Devine
is a member of oue of the oldest and
most highly respected families in the
county.

The Christmas exercises of the
Presbyterian Sunday-school last Toes
day evening were very pleasing in their
character. The programme consisted
of music, dialogues and recitations,
and gave evidence of careful prepara

The church was beautifully decorated,
and was filled to iU capacity with a
delighted audience. Mrs. W. VV. Wil

tbe preponderance of credit for the
success of the entertainment is due her.
Hope for Irrigation.
From the Salt Lake Herald.
At least a step toward the goal of
national irrigation is expected from
the present congress. Never have the
advocates of government reclamation
of arid western lands been so favorably
situated as they are to-day. Presi
dent Roosevelt's declaration in favor
of reservoirs and canals to be con
structed from the public treasury has
given the movement an impetus which
should carry it a considerable part of
the journey. Unfortunately there are
in congress many men whose geo
graphical research is limited to that
portion of the country east of the
Missouri river. What i even more
unfortunate, some of the western cou
gressmen, notably those from the
Pacific coast states, are taking o little
interest in the subject that their influ
ence is almost against it. This was
true in the last congress, when the
ehairmen of both house and senate
committees on arid lands were Oregon
men, whose every effort to secure na
tional legislation on the question was
most perfunctory.
TUey were encouraged in their atti
tude by lack of presidential support
and by united opposition on the part of
easterners, men who were willing to
vote millions to dredge yard-wide
creeks in their own slate, but not a
cent to tbe borne builders of the west.
Many of these men will continue their
opposition, and the fight which tbe
irrigationists have on their hands is by
do means an easy one. This year all
westerners are alert, and they will lose
o opportunity of pressing their demands.
Wasiiingtoh, Djc. 21. The western
members of the Senate and House have
agreed upon an irrigation bill that is to
receive the solid support of the West
during the present session of Congress.
A plan of action was adopted yester
day in the committee room of Senator
Warren of Wyoming, when the mem
bers from seventeen States and Terri
tories west of the Mississippi voted to
take up what isknown as the ale-of-pubtic-lands
scheme to help out irri
gation. A bill will now be introduced in each
branch of Congress creating a fund,
tbe proceeds of the disposal of public
lands in tbe seventeen States and Terri
tories affected. This will amount an
nually to between $2,000,COO and
$3,000,000.
It is proposed to parmit the Secre
tary of the Interior to expend the
money as he sees fit in carrying out
such projects as may be agreed upon
later forirrigating aridsections. When
the reclamation of a piece of territory
has been accomplished, it is to be
thrown open to homestead entry in
small tracts, and before title is,ae
tua'ly given a man must have lived on
the ground and cultivated it. He will
then be required to pay in installments
what it cost to procure water for the
land. These payments are to be con
verted back into the fund and used
again in developing other sections, so
tbalitwill continually grow.
The plan will not require an initial
appropriation from Congress to start
the work, and it is thought that it will
therefore appeal to many who other
wise might be inclined to object to it.
According to the present scheme, the
Secretary of the Interior is to deter
mine tbe manner in which the money
In
view of the active work that has been
carried on for many years past by the
Geological Survey, which is under the
immediate control of the Secretary of
the Interior, there need be no doubt
about the plan that the Secretary may
adopt. A number of irrigation pro
jects have been planned by the survey
already, being based on careful surveys
and estimates of cost. Seven distinct
projects are now complete and await
ing money to be carried into effect
They call for the expenditure of be
tween f 4,000,000 and $5,000,000, and pro
pose to reclaim something like 500,000
acres of land that is at present prac
tically valueless.
The scheme of survey is to build
large reservoirs on certain western
rivers that are so located that the

I prescribe it to children of all aces.
Am glad to recommend it to all in need
and seeking relief from colda and
coughs and bronchial afflictions. It is

A Good Cough Medicine.
From the Gazette, Toowoomba. Australia.
I find Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is an excellent medicine. I have been
suffering from a severe eough for the
last two months, and it has effacted a
cure. Ihave great pleasure in recom
mending it. W. C. Wockxkb. 'This
is the opinion of one of our oldest and

A. V. Baehr, a gardener on Mineral
Creek, committed suicide last week
under distressing circa m stances. He
was placing a roll of blankets in a
wagon when a pistol fell out of the
bundle, striking the ground and dis
charging, the ball breaking the bones
in the leg. Uis partner, George Phen
ning, went for assistance and when he
returned he found that the wounded
. man had shot himself through the
head. Baehr left a note, making, dis
position of his property, and stating
that he preferred death to being
crippled. He left a married daughter
in Globe and a single daughter who
was with him.
Oil drillers at Engle, New Mexico,
at a depth of 200 feet struck a strong

Thay are telling a stcry, which may
er may not be true, cbout a rising
young politician who has unusually
large feet. His mother is a lovable
old woman and quite deaf. She lives
in a flat in the neighborhood of Grant's
tomb, in .New York, and is always de
lighted by a visit from her son. When
the United States cruiser Brooklyn,
which was anchored in the Hudson, oflt
the tomb, on Memorial day, fired a
salute of 21 guns the old lady was ob
served to start, fix her cap and smooth
down her apron. Then she said, with
a sweet smile: "George is coming; I
hear his footsteps on the stairs." Chi
cago Chronicle.
territory that is now barren, because of
lack of water. The first of these pro
jects, and probably the most important
one, provides for a big reservoir at San
Carlos on the Gila River, in Southern
Arizona. This will cost a trifle over
$1,000,000 and will provide water for
100,000 acres of land. Another pro
ject calls for the establishment of res
ervoirs on the (Carson and Truckee
rivers, lying In California, to irrigate
lands in Nevada. This will cost about
$000,000, and will furnish water for
about 100,000 acres.
Four other projects, are as follows :
Reservoirs for Kings Rivr in Califor
nia, to cost $1,000,000, toswrc water for
about 50,000 acres; reservoirs for Hum
bolt River, in Nevada, to cost $120,000,
and to provide water for 20,000 acres;
reservoirs on Salt river, in Arizona;
reservoirs on tbe Hetch-Uetchy, in
California, to cost $600,000, and to irri
gate 107,000 acres.
The western representatives are very
earnest in the matter. To many of
them it is a question of vital importance.
Tbe conditions in Nevada are true to a
certain extent in all of the other seven
teen States and Territories. There
has been a decline of 20,000 in the
population of Nevada during thelat l
twenty years. When the bottom
dropped out in mining in that State the
population deserted, agriculture hav
ing been neglected because of the lack
of suitable soil. '

Fraser, who ia now in New York,
stating that the deal on their Alaska
mines had been closed for something
over a million of dollars. A three
years' bond was given, with a large
payment down. A rich syndicate lias
taken the property which will
thoroughly develop it, build a railroad
to Valdez, 175 miles, and erect ex ten

to be the richest copper mine in the
world. Mr. Truman, Mr. Fraser and
