The Yellow Jacket started their pumps
at midnight Saturday. found the ma
ehinery all working smoothly and have
continued running them. and up to the
present time have lowered the water In
the Jacket about twenty feet; this. too,
without the assistance Of the Belcher
pumps. The pump column OF the
belcher has been leaking Tor some time,
and could not be more than temporarily
repaired, so they dared not stop pump
ing until the Yellow Jacket should com.
mence. As o a. It was known that
the water could be handled without their
assistance they stopped and commenced
making repairs Of q permanent nature.
Tomorrow will see their pumps aiding
the Yellow Jackets. and 1t will not be
