Some days ago the water in the dam
1t Boydstown, became so foul til at it was
Allowed to run out. and since that time
various stories regarding the finding of the
remains of a man, dead calf etc, have
been circulated in Butler, but they have
hot been authenticated. The water had
been standing over some boggy ground,
bturnps, bushes, etc. which alone was
Enough to pcllute it, without the addition
bf animal matter. AL the water has been
Allowed to run out of that dam, and the
company now has force at work taking
The stumps, green stu # and all black earth
rom the space usually covered by the wa
er; and the water now being pumped into
the reservoir is from the Stony and Pine
run dams.
