WORK COMMENCES TO CONTROL
CORPORATION GULCH ,
DITCHES ARE DEINQ ENLARGED
Plan IB to Carry the Gulch Floods
Down the Sides of Thirteenth Street ,
While Wntcr From Other Streets
Will be Divided.
Yesterday Street Commissioner
Illchoy commenced work that Is de
signed to take care of the water that
comes down Corporation pilch , nnd
every property owner who has hold
ings west of the railroad trucks will
certainly hope that the plan adopted
by the city may prove successful.
The plan contemplates enlarging and
deepening the ditch on the west sldo
of Thirteenth street , making It largo
enough to carry off the hulk of the
water that comes down the gulch.
The ditch on the east nldo of the same
street will also ho iiiatlo inoro exten
sive but not so largo as I ho wont
ditch. The tllo culverts are all to ho
romo\IM | 'iiii' > i i M i ' , ' ' "I
oil , HO that thoio will bo nmhmt ; 10 In-
torfuru with the free How of the
Hoods. At the Main street crossing
of Thirteenth a way will bo opened
to glvo the water clear sailing Into
the ditches.
The plan of taking care of the water
was adopted by a committee of the
city council , consisting of 1' . .1. Staf
ford , .1. S. Mathowson , A. II. Klosau
nnd .1. C. Spellman , who have been
working under the counsel and advice -
vice of Engineer King. Mr. King's
opinion that the arrangement contem
plated will effectively take care of the
water that comes down the gulch , Is
approved by Engineer Hosowater of
Omaha , who snld that it would drain
water from H.OOO ncios of laud , and
( hero are not so many acres tributary
to the gulch. Fly making a free run
way for the stream from the tlmo It
enters the city limits until It roaches
the ditches , the water will not bo hold
back until It causes overflow but will
run off freely.
The work of handling water In the
western part of town contemplates ox
tonslvo work on practically all the
streets. The water that accumulates
on Thirteenth street between Norfolk
avenue and Koonlgstoln avenue will
bo carried Into the ditches , whllo the
water that comes from all other cross
streets will bo taken care of by the
Hrst east and west avomio below it.
The object Is to protect Norfolk av
enue , which has now become the main
water way of the western part of town ,
nnd Is at the present tlmo In a most
disreputable condition. The Hoods
from Corporation gulch and from side
streets have cut and gouged It until
It Is full of gullies , ruts and ravines.
In some places it Is almost Impossible
to drlvo up In front of a rosldenco on
account of the deep ditch that has
been washed out , whllo at ether places
the front lawn Is Hlled with mud and
Hlth as the residue of the last flood.
The gulch has boon the cause of
contention over slnco the residence
portion of town began to extend to
the west sldo. Periodically tremendous
deus freshets have swept down from
the gulch and Inundated property in
all directions , and there Is no way to
estimate the amount of damage that
has accrued from it. It has boon con
tended by ono administration after
another that the city had no right to
divert the water from Its original chan
nel , but in the mcantlmo the city has
occasionally done a llttlo work and
the lot owners have done more , and
the result is that almost the whole
volume of water has been diverted
down Norfolk avenue , whereas nature
originally carried it down the west
sldo In the neighborhood of Thlrteontl
and Fourteenth streets. The work
that is being done now may not bo
adequate to take care of all the water
a great many people think It will not
hut the engineers who are handling
it bellevo it will , and It Is certalnlv
a nig start in the right direction to |
have the ditches opened up With the ]
disposition of the city authorities to
take care of the trouble , if it is found
that they are not providing sulllciont
waterways more nmv be added at com
paratively small cost The work is
all right and people who are disposed
to think it will not carry out the In
tention , should withhold their criti
cisms until the plan has been given a
fair trial.
The Commissioner Hns Troubles.
When Commissioner Hlchey moved
his grading paraphernalia up to Thir
teenth street yesterday , ho was mot
by a hand of protesting property own
ers , largely women , living on the west
side of Thirteenth. They insisted that
ho should not touch the ditch that Is
already in front of their places and
for a tlmo the argument was hot and
threatening. One woman promised to
produce a gun and pour a few slugs
of lead Into the street commissioner ,
but ho stood firm , saying that ho had
orders from the city to enlarge that
ditch and enlarge ho was going to.
Then the Irate property owners ap
pealed to Mayor Friday , but ho could
glvo them no relief.
The gulch Is certainly a vexed ques
tion and it Is almost Impossible to do
anything with it without protest from
some ono , but the plan adopted seems
to bring hardship upon the smallest
number of any that has been proposed ,
and It Is really not a serious matter
for those residents on the west side ol
Thirteenth , because their land is all
high and above any ordinary flood ,
whereas if Norfolk avenue is contin
ued nu the water course every property
owner on the west sldo between Sev
enth and Thirteenth struct In badly
damaged.

GREER , MILLS & CO.
View of Live Stock Markets at South
Omaha , C. A. Mallory , Mgr.
South Omaha , Aug. 21. There Is
milling very new or startling to wrlto
n connection with the cattle situation
lint wo have not nlieady touched upon.
The locolpts of corn fed cattle con-
Iniio moderate , and under n strong
lomand , pi Ices have advanced 10F7M5 (
outs , with prospects still favorable
'or well matured corn foil cattle. As
suggested by us a number of times re
cently , we would not be surprised to
see still higher prices for strictly
choice dry lot cattle during the next
; wo or three months.
A largo proportion of the receipts at
all markets , as usual at this season
of the year , Is range cattle. As these
cattle are coming In good condition ,
and corn fed cattle being scarce , the
demand is fairly active and prices for
the general run of fat range cattle are
well sustained.
The demand for good to choice feed
ers continues strong , and prices are
stady ( for the strong weight cattle of
Kood quality , the bulk selling from
$3.75 to $4.00 ; whllo the lighter
weights are not in so good demand
and are selling 10j > 15 cents lower than
last week.
With the abundance of feed and
prospects for moderate prices , wo do
not look for very low prices for good
stockers and feeders , and while wo ex
pect liberal receipts of cattle during
the next two or three months nnd
some decline from present prices , wo
again urge our readers to correspond
with us as early as possible regarding
tholr wants for this fall and winter.
The general marke1. for butcher
stock averaged about steady , nnd
prospects favor a llttlo lower market
In the near future.
Hogs The receipts of hogs , part of
the time , were liberal , but the quality
Is the poorest of the season. The
range In prices Is a llttlo wider , choice
hogs of nil weights commanding a fair
premium. The provision market has
advanced still further until prices are
the highest of the year , nnd today the
hog maikot ruled active and .Iff 10
cents higher , with the bulk of the
hogs selling from $ ! > .90 < ? TG.Ori.
Wo look for a strong and higher
market the balance of tills week , and
would not bo surprised to see prices
fairly well maintained for several
wtoks , but It Is only a question of time
before the market will break , and wo
aualu advlso our readers to market
tholr hogs just as fast as possible , as
present prices ought to satisfy any
ono.
Sheep and lambs The receipts of
sheep and lambs at Chicago and Oma
ha the forepart of this week were the
largest of the season , and although the
demand continues good , prices on the
general run of fat stuff shows a decline
of 1015 cents The demand contin
ues unabated for all kinds of sheep
and lambs and prices are at the high
est point of the year. Wo do not look
for much change In the market this
week , and would not bo surprised to
see little lower range In prices the
next few weeks , especially on fat
stuff.
Any ono interested in this branch of
the buslnrss will receive our personal
attentkn If they will communicate
with us fully as to their needs.

THE WEEKLY STATE BULLETIN
High Winds nnd Rain In Northwestern
Counties Has Blown Down Corn to
Some Extent Potatoes are Not
Yielding Largely This Season.
Lincoln , Neb , Aug. 22. The weekly
crop bulletin Issued this afternoon by
the agricultural bureau , Is as follows :
Lincoln , Aug. 22. The past week
was warm , with maximum tempera
tures above 00 degrees on several
days. The dally mc n temperature
averaged 2 degrees above normal , ex
cept In northwestern counties where
It was about 2 degrees below normal.
Heavy showers occurred quite gen
erally in eastern counties where the
rainfall mostly exceeded one inch and
ranged from two to more than throe
inches In considerable areas. In most
central and western counties the rain
fall was less than one-half inch.
Haying and thrashing progressed
rapidly except in eastern counties Fri
day and Saturday , where the heavy
rain Thursday night retarded work of
this character. Some spring wheat
has been thrashed nnd the yield is
rather bettor than exnected. Potatoes
are not yielding as well as expected.
Corn has grown well and has been
much benefited by the rain in the
eastern counties. In some northeast
ern counties a high wind accompanied
the rain and damaged corn to some
extent by breaking and blowing it
down. As a whole corn is now In ex
cellent condition with every promise
of a largo crop. Fall plowing has
progressed nicely with the soil in ex
cellent condition.

SLUGGED BY TRAMP-COMRADE ,
DISGUISE IS DISCOVERED.
SHE WAS PICKED UP FOR DEAD
A Queer Pair of Tramps Quarreled
Late Today , One Slugging the Oth
er The Victim Later Proved to be
a Girl , Dressed In Man's Attire.
Stretched out as dead from the of-
'ccts of n blow on the ear , a human
) olng dressed in man's clothing was
picked up in the alloy at the rear of
ho Thiom meat market yesterday af-
ornoon and carried , rigid and uncon
scious , Into the city jail. While phy
sicians were making efforts to revive
the sufferer , It was determined that
he person was not a young man at
nil , as the clothing and closely clipped
lead of hair would indicate , but in
eality a young woman in disguise.
Man Struck Her With Fist.
A little bunch of clothing on the
ground , with a peculiar behaving man
( csido It and waving his arms to
mesers-by on Fourth street , attracted
) eople to the scene in the alloy at
2:30 : o'clock. It was found that the
bunch of clothing was in reality a hu
man being , limp and unconscious , and
that the man besldo the "dead one"
was the person who had struck the
lenumblng blow. The disguised girl
was picked up by men at hand and
carried into the jail. The man was
arrested and locked up. Later the wo
man , when she came to , was taken
to the ofllco of Drs. Bear and Pilger ,
where her ear was given medical at
tention. She refused to admit that
she was a woman , refused to tell any
portion of her story , swore like n
trooper and had all the appearance of
a very tough Individual.
Two arc Tramping Together.
The pair of them are tramping to
gether and arrived In Norfolk either
late last night or early this morning.
They were seen early this morning
near the race tracks , just crawling
out of the section house along the
railroad tracks. Later they were seen
on the street.
It Is believed that after an argu
ment , whoso cause could not bo as
certained , the man slapped his com
rade on the ear. The ear is afflicted
with a chronic rupture so that the
blow caused a concussion and sent the
little girl to the earth in an Instant
Then the man , believing that ho had
killed her , began motioning wildly to
people along the street. The blow
was witnessed by a butcher in Thlem's
meat market who said that the fellow
slapped the girl , who dropped , and
then dragged his victim Into the shade
How She Is Dressed.
