He Thought the Wan In the Prison Pen when
He woke UP Was o BoEte.
Donald McVeigh is q Scotchman who lives at
Second avenue and Eighty-third street. On
Tuesday night he became lamentably drunk and
lay down on the Third avenue cable tracks. A
patrol wagon removed him to the East l26th
street police station. He was so much under
tho influence OF his string Of drinks that he was
not taken to the Harlem Police Court until late
in the day yesterday. At that time he was the
sole occupant of the court pen and promptly
went to sleep on the long. narrow bench.
Thon August kleine, a German, who appeared
to be weak minded and had been taken in tow
by Policeman Irving, was put in the pen. He
did not see McVeigh. and he was terribly
frightened. He legged to be let out, and
gcreamed and shrieked and howled and prayed.
This woke up the sleepy Scotchman. JUST then
Xlaine saw him and crept up to him and peered
into his face. 1t was the S~cotchman's turn to
be frightened. He jumped up and grasped
Kleine, and the two had a tussle, whfch-was
stopped by officer Kelly.
To the Officers establishment Mcveigh was
entirely oyer his spree. He had been literslly
frightened sober. He insisted that when he first
saw leine he thought it was a bogie,' and was
very much relieved TO find that 1t was a real man.
Then he walked with a steady step up before
Magistrate Flammer, who could hardly believe
that the man had been drunk. McVeigh was dis
charged. His crazy cell mate was sent to Belle
Vuo.

The copper country evening news. [volume] (Calumet, Mich.) 18??-1907, 1897-07-20
THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET.
Disease May Lurk In the Draft With Which
1t Refreshes.

Let us now examine into some Of the
conditions surrounding domestic wells
and springs In the larger towns and vii
lagos, conditions which also prevail some
times even about rural homes. We shall
then be better able to understand how a
we'll like Nevada silver mine, may have
"millions in il, /" and how "the old oaken
bucket may bring from the depths ele-
ments Of disease with the same draft that
refreshes the thirsty throat For conven-
ience we'll Is situated in the back yard,
perhaps rod away from the house, or 1t
may even be nearer. Certain other things,
also for convenience's sake, are grouped
close about the back door. Here is cess
pool but short distance, perhaps only a
few feet, from the well. There is vault,
q filthy institution, which is an open dis
grace TO civilization. A little farther away
Ia the garbage heap. In other adjacent
localities are the chicken coop, the pigpen
and the stable, with their Accommodations
of decomposing filth. 1t may be that in q
corner dead animal has been buried to
save the trouble of conveying 1t to a dis
lance. A damp and reeking spot near
the back door marks the place where the
Stops have been deposited since the drain
20 the cesspool became stopped up with
the accumulated refuse of half dozen
years.
Every one Of the sources of contamina-
ton mentioned is contributor to the
well. A part Of the putrid material floats
upon the ground and is disposed of by
evaporation, but the greater portion of it
soaks into the ground. 1t is common
error to suppose that whatever has disap-
peared inEo the ground is destroyed. The
filth which has disappeared from the sur
face may be out OF sight, but il Is not out
of existence. If the soil is filled with refuse
OF various kinds, the well will DO contain
mated. Every rain washes the filth "a lit
tie deeper down until il reaches the well
proper or one of the underground veins Of
water by which it is fed. 1t may not be
generally known that well will draw
water distance of go feet.-Arena.
