A Garden Run to Weed

who has been delivering lectures on
his different 'theories1' in a tent at

UnmiiiluK the Water.
El Paso Tex. Aug 20. The Rio
Grande river at this point has stopped
running entirely. The first time in
seven years. There are no fear oi a
failing as good water can be got at a
depth of eight or ten feet anywhere in
the valley but the vineyard orchards
and crops have begun to suffer down
the valley on both sides of the river-
The Mexicans attribute part of the
present lack of water to its excessive
use in bfew Mexico and Southern
Colorado for irrigation canals and
they claim under the existing treaty
they are entitled to ane-half the water
that comes down the river and the
people have no right to erect such
works as will cause the rive torun dry
before reaching 'Mexico. They say
remonstrance will be sent to the City
of Mexico asking the authorities to
protest in Washington against the
proposed irrigating canal through the
Garnado del Muerto in New Mexico.

for help came in and put a stop to
their pastime. Holderness was get-
ting the worst of the encounter. His
left arm was nearly cut off and he had
a long scalp wound on the top of his
head. One of Anderson's hands was
frightfully cut. Both men were taken
to the county hospital where their
wounds were pronounced serious.
