WATER SUPPLY IS SHORT
Superintendent CARROLL WA RMS CITIZENS TO EC0N0MIZE
IN THE USE OF WATER TO AVOID A
WATER FAMINE.

Once more Butte is threatened With
water famine. and Superintendent
Eugene Carroll. Of the water company.
is out with warning to citizens to econ
omize in the use of water If they do not
wish to have their supply exhausted al
to "ether.
The conditions that have prevailed for
the past year together With the increased
use Of water are responsible for the pres
ent shortage in the supply. The unusual
ly light fall of snow last winter and the
light rainfall OF the past summer We're
the cause of the streams. which afford the
water supply running very low, and in
consequence there has not been for sew
eral months. any more water than enough
to supply the city. ana it has now come
to a point where carefulneSs on the part
of householders is an absolute necessity.
The condition is one which the water
company is powerless to remedy for the
time being. and Superinte ndent Carroll
asks that all users of water be careful
as possible not to be wasteful in the use
OF the supply. until such time as the new
works which are about completed can
be put into service.
The situation is serious, said Mr.
Carroll today. The present water sup
ply is inadequate TO the needs of the
city. and though we have done every
thing possible to get water enough to tide
over the present difficulty. il will ne nee
essary for every body TO be very econom-
ical if serious trouble does not follow.
Owing to the fact tina, the water in the
streams furnishing the supply IS at least
20 per cent lower than we have ever
known ii to be. and to the enormous
increase in the use of water in the city
in the last year or two it is hard mat
ter TO get water enough to run the city.

Two WON n and four men were arrested
last night at % East Park street alley

They had been rushing the groWler,
and became involved in a row that dis
turbed the neighborhood. and one of the
| men looked as though he had been badly
used. They gave the names of Josie
Palmer. Martha Buckley Billy Berkeley.
Jin Johnson Burt Owens and Charles
Stewart.
n In the police court this morning the
ssextette looked happy, for they under
stood that the usual fine for disturbance
was SO. and five days in jail would not
discommode any of them. They were
greatly surprised and chagrined, how
ever, when the clerk remarked that the
charge against them had been changed
from disturbance to vagrancy. and the
matter turned over to the county attor-
ney. Josie Palmer tried to get the judge
to change his mind, but he was obdurate,
and Josie went down stairs to take her
place in the patrol wagon in the trip to
the county Jail.

ESCAPED.

The residence occupied by Jack LeSgat

the corner of Granite and Washington

night and about $500 worth of jewelry
was taken.
Mrs Leggat had been visiting in Ana

took a hack for the purpose of meetinS
the train and bringing his mother home.
The servant was out of the house, and
the thieves, probably watching for
chance to enter, made up their minds
that Mr.. Leggat was leaving town.
Mr.. Leggat returned with his mother

and jewelry, but Mrs. Leggat had most
of her jewelry on her person. The bur-
glars, however. succeeded in getting
away with about $500 worth of jewelry.
The thieves had effected an entrance
by prying up the window in the girl ;
room and breaking the lock on it. a COM

operations and made a hasty exit
