SPRINGVIEW, Neb, Aug. 14.—(Spe- elal.)—An irrigation district (s being formed at his place and money has been raised by the clitizens to defray the expense of a water level from Valentine to Norden. Mr. Smith of Long Pine, a surveyor, and a number of our people are on the route at the present time. If they can get water from the Ni- obrara river and get it on the tablelands of Keya Paha county, farmers can irrigate 400,000 acres of land at.a cost of $100,000. The people here think the ditch can be buflt this winter and water put on the ground for next years’ crop. If it can it will be worth millions to the farmers of this county. An irrigation _ditch south of this town, covering ahout 500 acres of land, Is turning up forty bushels of wheat to the acre and potatoes that would make an Irishman’s eyes turn green with en All kinds of garden truck on this irrlgated land Is immense, and corn will make 100 bushels to the acre. The parties who went to the Sioux reser- vation after the mortgaged cattle last week returned with $1,785 in money. The offend- ing parties had to pay up and will have to pay about $2,500 more before the matter fs settled. The cattle consistell of 160 head of big steers, mortgaged to the Reliance Trust company of Sioux City, by oze “Doc” Lewis, a squaw man residing on the reservation. G. A. Porter, the Woodfork murderer, Is still in Jail at'this place. He will have a public sale of stock Saturday at this place for the purpose of raising money to defend himselt at the September term of the dis- trict court. Young Murphy, the kid caught with the stolen caitle near Fort Randall a short time ago, started last wesk for the Black Hills country with his sister, Mrs. Clark, eight children, and fifty head of cattle. Clark, the woman’s husband, was sent to the Lincoln penitentiary for six years. A young man returning from South Dakota a few days ago across the Sioux reservation was struck by lightning and instantly killad A letter In his pocket was addressed to M V. Ferguson, Mills, Neb. Springylew has perhaps one of the oldest men in the state of Nebraska, N. H. Collar, who was born in the state of Vermont in the beginning of the century, when western New York was the American frontier. Mr. Collar was oue among the first surveying parties that even entered the wilds of Mich- igan and crossed over to Wisconsin when “0ld Juno,” a half breed Indian, kept the omly store in Michigan. Collar ‘and threa chums walked from there to Dubuque, Wis« consin territory, now lowa, and has now in his possession a bank note of $5 issued by the Bank of Dubuque, Wisconsin territory. Collar was a resident of Towa for more than sixty years, and lived with his wife, who “has just died, for fitty odd years. He now resides with his son-in-law, H. J. Skinner, and is quite healthy and bids fair to live his 100 years out. The old gentleman ean perhaps tell more about the Indan and the froutiers of Awmerica than any otber man living.
