EDITOR RECORD; In your paper of
yesterday an article appeared under the
above heading, to the purport that the
tank of the Floral Springs Water Com
pany had been used by boys for swim
ming purposes. 1 am at a loss to ac-
count for the origin of such report, us
there is not the slightest foundation for
it, and no such occurrence has ever
taken place. 1t was reported to the
Office of the Company that parties in the
vicinity of the Floral Mill had been |
using from the mill tank for the purpose |
of shower baths, and as this was using
the water of the Company for illegiti- |
mate purposes, means were taken to
stop it. From this slight foundation
may have possibly originated the article
referred to above. By publishing this
communication you will confer favor
on Yours, very truly,

RoUGH AND TUMBLE.-Yesterday in
the lower part of town, hilarious crowd
assembled in a saloon of no lofty preten-
sions and after imbibing freely, and dis
cussing the political situation, the
financial problem and the social evil,
something was said or done which
should not have been said or done, or
else something was left unsaid or undone
which should have been said or done,
and fight ensued. Knives, pistols and
bludgeons were ignored, and resort was
had to the manly art of self.defense. 1t
proved to be n regular knock-down and
drag-out affair, in which only little
blood was drawn, but sufficient hair was
pulled out to supply wig manufacturer
for month. No arrests were made.
After exhaustine themselves the combat
ants thought better of the matter, and
so took drink to perpetual friendship.
All serene.
