After days OF digging the lost sewer
leading from the city hall to the river
was located this morning, and efforts
were at once made to free IT from the
stoppage that has made IT such an an
noyance to inhabitants OF the city
building. The old steamer was brought
out and a hose connection made with
the clogged pipe. Bob Mentrum turn
the pipe and a group OF watchers as
sembled at the outlet OF the sewer
to await developments. At first only
a little black water oozed out, but
soon the pressure forced out a hetero-
genous collection of bric-a-brac that
would have clogged almost any pipe.
Old underclothing, hose. collars, copies
of pink papers, keys, knives, buttons,

and finally an enormous toad made its
appearance. Then the sewer was clear.

from. unless II is the relic of some
case of jim-jams that filled the city
Jail with snakes and reptiles and toads
a while ago..
