They went to the Shackelford train and employed the same tac tics, but the men had few wea pons so they threatened to bring their tribe to fight them if the white men didn't give them sup plies. They were given sugar, coffee, flour and bacon. Indiana Get their Way The Indians then selected a fat heifer which they shot full of ar rows which didn't kill her.

June 28 Ten pe titions are in circulation at Silver ton, the signers of which are ask ing for lower water rates. About 800 had signed by Saturday night It was reported. A change from a flat to a meter rate during the past year la said to be the cause of petitions. Resi dents with 5-8 inch meters now pay a minimum of $1.10 charge. The one dollar is a service charge and the ten cents is the minimum water charge. The regular charge for water on this meter Is eight cents for 100 cubic feet, which, gives 130 cubic feet for the $1.10. The old flat rate was $1.50 a month with $4.50 for Irrigation during the summer for those who had no meters. Many SHverton residents are not irrigating their lawns for fear of the "excessive rates." Those who are opposed to the petitions say that the signers do not under stand the present water rates and that many of those who have sign ed have lower rates now than they did with the old system and that it is more fairly distributed. They point out that each resident can now use 1000 cubic feet of water a month for irrigation and pay no more for it than he did with the old $4.50 flat irrigation rate. The petitions will be presented at the July meeting of the city council of SHverton. trees. P. O. Powell of Monmouth was elected president; and Capt. Frank Powell of SHverton, sec retary-treasure.
