City Authorities Interfere with Electric Light
EmplOyeS-Mr. Cayen's Statements.

The Brush Electric Light Company, which is
erecting the several high towers in various parts
of the city. has come into conflict with the city
authorities, who claim that the company is open
ly violating city ordinance Yesterday City
Attorney Denny gave an opinion that the work
of erecting these tower lights was being done
contrary to an ordinance passed by the City
Council in May 1882, forbidding the erection of
such structures without the special permission
of the Council and Board, and, acting in accord
ance with this opinion City Engineer Shearer,
accompanied by Police Captain Colbert called
upon the workmen, notifying them that they
must cease work and tear down what had
already been constructed. They further warned
the workmen that if they did not remove so
much of the homework as had been put up
The foreman, however, continued and replied
that he would not desist until legally authorized
to STOP This action led to meeting of the
mayor and several city officials, at which ex-
Mayor Caven, as representative of the COM
pany, was present. and it was decided to issue
warrants for the arrest of the workmen if they
insisted on continuing the construction of the
towers.
Mr.. Caven said to Journal reporter that the
WorKnen would proceed until arrested when he
would give the necessary bail. He plainly init
mated that the matter would have to be settled
by the courts. The records of the Council show
that on April 20 Mr.. Caven, president of the
company, sent in petition for the erection of
these towers. The petition was referred to the
committee on streets and alleys, which, on April
Is, reported in favor of allowing the company to
erect wooden poles not higher than those already
in use by the company. The report was adopted,
and there the matter dropped.
n1a
ordinance was passed by the Council and Board
of Aldermen, giving the company undoubted
legal authority to put up the masts. 1t is under
stood that the principal opposition comes from
the Jenney Electric Light Company, of Fort
Wayne, in which Alderman Rorison is pecuni-
arily interested.
The tower in the Circle will first be completed,
after which the other four will be erected AS
yet no warrants have been served or arrests
made, and until such move is made the work
will proceed

In glancing over u exchanges 1t
is but natural to conclude that the
young people of Dakota are going
stark staring mad on marriage. 1t is
almost impossible to open an ex-
change without being confronted
with "Married" in bold face letters.
A recent issue of the Pierre Free
Press contained nearly a dozen mar
rlage notices. One couple in that
town bad the wedding hour set at
5 A. NJ, but deferred it until later in
the day by the advice of the Press.
This, merely by way of illustration.
We don't take any stock in the early
muskrat houses, thick corn husks and
all that sort of signs; but these nu-
merous marriages certainly look as

practice the greatest care to keep the
eggs from touching the sides Of the
can, and also in excluding all the air
before the caps are sealed. BY this
method it is said that eggs car be

Ire GRAPHIC has noted from time

Ire GRAPHIC has noted from time
to time the progress of the drilling
for an artesian we'll in Kimball. 1t
is pleased this week to be able to an
nonnce the success of the project.
Early on Monday the workmen at
the well were confident Of striking
water inside of 81 hours, yet, when a
flow was struck at a few minutes past
nine o'clock that night the news was
doubtfully received by many-it
seemed too good news to be true.
The good news soon spread, and
though late in the evening hundreds
FASTENED to the scene to witness the
novel and interesting sight of water
spouting from an artesian well. The
flow was struck at a depth Of 965 feet.
The drill barely penetrated through
the cap rock, which covers the sand
stone containing the water, and for a
few minutes the water but just arose
to the surface and irickled down the
side of the pipe. But it rapidly in
creased in volume, and in ten minutes
a small creek was running away from
the building. The worklnen at once
ceased operations and tent a dispatch
to Mr.. Gray, the contractor, who was
attending a law suit in Kansas. He
and his foreman, Mr., Birdsall, are ex-
pccted tonight Thursday.
The flow at present can be safely
estimated at 1000 barrels per day,
more than enough for all practical
purposes. 1t is expected that by 60
ing a few feet further, 35 to so feet,
an increased pressure can be obtained:
enough for a direct fire pressure. The
first flow OF. water in the Altoona
well was not equal to that of the
Kimball well, but after drilling so
feet further an enormous supply was
obtained with a pressure Of 100
pounds to the square inch. The work
men at the we!l state that every indi-
cation points to a similar result in the
Kimball well. Work will probably
be renewed at the well in a few days.
Even should no greater supply of
water than that at present be oh
tanned, we will have enough to sup
ply a dozen towns like Kimball for
years to come. A water pressure
strong enough to drive a two inch
stream with sufficient force to knock
a chimney off, would be a grand thing
to have, but we a get along without
it, like our neighbor east, Mitchell
Kimball is awfully well satisfied as il
is. 1t is ever better than hoped for
