Friday. There is now about five
feet more Of wafer in the
creek than there was last Friday be-
fore the rain. For some time a body
OF water from away up the creek has
been making It's way slowly down the
dry creek bed. Tue rains last week
helped swell the stream ana Friday
the two streams met. Since that
time the rise in Che water has been
rapid. Mr.. Grouse, superintendent Of
the water company, Tuesday nOru,ng
Informed the VOICE that he expected
the water TO be running ovei tile dam
within the next ten days. Tue water
company Monday began turning %
water To prlvaLe cOnsumers. The

being supplied also. There now seelns
to be plenty Of water in the creek.

follows: Eastern papers are making
agood deal of the fact that a Kansas
lady, Miss Blanche Hall of Yelling
ton, has killed twenty-seven jack rab-
bits and recovered the bounty of 8

That is pretty small game all the
same. Through DR.. Higgins of this
city we have received from the doc.
tors sister and brother-in.law, Mr..
and Mrs. Wallihan of Lay, Col, a
picture of the lady standing over the
thirtieGh deer that she had killed up
to the time the picture was taken,
and another picture of the lady and
