: UTILIZE PLATTE'S WATERS
Such Is Plan of Commercial Club In
Asking Federal Funds.
Omaha, July 2. -"Use the water be
fore its gets to the Mississippi." That
in substance, is what the Commercial
club of Omaha urges upon congress in
the way of amendment to the bill now
before congress looking toward car
ing for the floodwaters of the lower
Mississippi. The commercial club has
drafted a detailed resolution, which
it forwarded to congress, asking that
part of the $57,000,000 to be spent on
the lower Mississippi be spent on the
Platte river in Nebraska, with a view
to utilizing the Platte water in the
flood season for irrigation purposes.
The resolution points out that a
large part of the fioodwater of the
Mississippi, which is now forming so
large a problem, actually comes from
the watershed east of the Rocky
mountains and that a large volume of
this is carried by the Platte river in
Nebraska. It points out further that
in the western part of the state there
is a large acreage of semi-arid land,
which is very fertile and would be very
valuable the moment water could be
brought to it for irrigation.
In Gosper, Kearney and Phelps
counties enterprising citizens have
started a movement for applying the
floodwaters of the North Platte river
and other Nebraska streams to the
semi-arid lands of western Nebraska
The Unitel States department o agri
culture is now conducting an experi
ment. investigating the feasibility oi
the plan.
SIOUX SQUAW KILLS
HUSBAND WITH AXE
Red Horse Woman Slays Lame
Dog During Quarrel.
Valentine. Neb.. July 2. Sherif
Rosseter returned from Crookstoi
with Red Horse Woman, a Sioui
squaw who murdered her husband
Iame Dog, by caving his head in witi
an axe. Although the Indian's heac
was frightfully crushed, he lingered al
day alone in the tepee, where his wife
left him, and did not die until late ii
the afternoon.
A number of Indians were camper
at Crookston and, according to tht
testimony brought out at the coroner'
inquest, the principals in the affair
Iame Dog and his wife. Red Horsi
Woman; Tom Eridgeman, a mixet
blood, and his wife had secured t
quantity of whisky and proceeded tc
celebrate. During the night Lame Dog
became attentive to Bridgeman's wife
and the former's squaw tried to ge
him to come to their own tent. He
paid no attention to her, but later re
turned of his own accord. Then, fron
the evidence offered, he and his wife
quarreled and he struck her. It wa.c
then she picked up the axe and struct
him, evidently several times, for hh
skull was shattered and his face hor
ribly cut. After doing the deed she
hitched up the team and started to tht
Rosebud agency with her three chil
dren. On her way she sang the weird
plaintive death song of her tribe and
met another Indian, whom she told ol
the crime.
The jury found that the woman mur
dered her husband with felonious in
tent. The sheriff placed her in tht
county jail, where she accepts her sit
uation apparently with stoical indiffer
ence.

which are confined to the Pacitic coast
aud the other three are elistributeel
over the section east of the one hun
dredth meridian extending from Can
ada to the gulf of Mexico. In the lat
ter districts and in the greater part of
Pennsylvania, New York and New
England the common mole occurs with
the star nosed mole and lirewer's mole.
The mule is so seldom seen even by
those who are familiar with its work
that it is often confused with other
small creatures, particularly the shrew,
the mole or meadow mouse and the
pocket ge.phcr. However, it can be
readily distinguished by its stout, short
front limbs ending; in broad, rounded
hands with palms turned outward. Ic
has a rather elongated body, close,
plushlike fir. a pointed snout and a
short tail. Neither eyes nor ears are
in evidence. It is a creature of strict
ly subterranean habits.
