The water in McKusick lake is some
no, hoe
been since the water works started. This
is owing to Isaac Staples cutting ditch
from the lake to Browns creek, so as to drain
a.large meadow belonging to him, which was
overfiowed through the making of dam at
the end of the lake at McKusick creek. The
only way the creek can be kept up for the
water works would be to buy the meadow
land and then raise it as high as wished.
Eighteen inches of water off that large sur
face shows vast diminutiOn of the supply,
which in the low water season might
be decidedly injurious. Mr.. Staples may
decide to deepen the ditch to Browns creek
still more. and then where will the water
supply come from?

and he fell off, when they began to kick
and plunged madly north on the street,
dragging Kriesel under the pole until oppo-
site Julius Rees' clothing house. when he
was left on the street seemingly dead. DR..
T. C. Clark was Immediately in attend
ance, and found no bones broken, but the
man cut in the head and badly shaken,
which. in his poor state of health, may be
serious. The horses in the meantime, kept
north until they came to the brick and llm-
Der oppositeithe new building being erected
for T. Lecky. Here they ran into one
horse market wagon belonging to party
