One of y. c. Webster's 800 mules
was wandering around the city water
works station. north of town, last
night. when he happened TO get over
a tunnel which is a part of the sys-
TEN. The support over the tunnel was
not strong enough TO bear up the
weight of dirt which covered it, with
the additional weight of the mule, and
dirt mule and all went down into the
underground aperture. The damage
to the tunnel can be easily repaired,
but the mule was less fortunate, as it
resulted in his death. Mr. Webster
says that he had just refused an offer
of 800 for the animal For the bene-
fit of water consumers it may be stated
that the tunnel into which the animal
fell is not the one from which the city's
water supply is obtained, so that there
need be no fear of getting mule soup
