Beatrice has been having rather
hard time with its food this week but
there was once before when che was
threatened by almost as serious
although more ludicrous floOd situa-
ton. 1t was years ago when the city
was booming and people were coming in
rapidly. As progressive place the city
decided to put down an artesian well in
the center OF the town. The contract
was let, tie well went down several
thousand feet, and a volume of water
struck OF imm, nse pressure and quanti-
ty. Gallon after gallon, barrel after
barrel flowed out and the vel from an
srtes an standpoint was probably one of
the best in the west. But there was
one drawback and that all important.
The water was as salty as that Of the
Dead Sea. People could not bear the
taste and cattle would not touch it.
Then the city refused to pay the con.
tractor for his work On the ground that
a we'll Of pure drinking water had been
stipulated. The matter was taken to
the courts and the city won. Then
was when the flood threatened and this
was the way it happened. The con.
tractor began pulling up his tubing and
all his machinery. There is no stop
ping an artesian we'll when once it's
rock cover is pierced and that water
continued to flow. 1t spread over all
the surrounding ground, poured into
the streets and threatened to float
away the cedar pavement. The water
ran into all the surrounding wells and
destroyed their purity and usefulness.
There was danger of the whole place
becoming as saline as the mud. fats
west Of Lincoln. There was but one
thing to do. The contractor had the
bulge on the city with all its legal
backing, and an agreement was quickly
reached. The tubing was forced back,
the immense volume held in check, and
the saline flood averted.

The Summer Residence Of
Ex-senator EaSton at

The Only Thing Saved From
the House Was Part
Of the Furniture.
VALUED At $4,000 AND INSURED.
C0ttsse Was Ignlted From Q Blsze In the
PIreplace-Just Made Ready For
Summer Occupancy.

The summer residence OF ex-senator
Frederic w. Easton Of this city at Middle
town was burned TO the ground Thursday
evening.
! The flames had made great headway be-
fore their discovery and the building was
soon doomed.
All the windows and doors and all the
furniture except that In the second story
was saved, but the house is completely de-
molished, all that is left being a blackened
mass of charred wood.
Mrs. Easton and her servants have been
at Middletown for few days, making
ready the house for occupancy this sum-
nler. During the morning Mrs. Easton
had an old mattress Of which she wished
to be rid, put In the fireplace and left to
burn.
About noon It was discovered that the
fire had communicated to one of the doors
near the fireplace, and the blaze was, as
was thought, put out at once, though 1t
must have had further headway than was
supposed.
The cottage, which was prettily situated
among the Paradise rocks, was built by
Mr.. William Whitaker of Providence in
1858.
Had the wind been in any other direc-
tion the house of Mr.. Barker and all the
buildings situated near enough to have
caught would probably have been burned.
1t is said to have been fully insured.
The house near 1t was that of Frederick
BARKER Of this city. The house burned
was valued at about 5000. Mr.. Easton
has gone to Middleton n today to investi-
gate the loss.
