Fred Flowers
Shot at FOOt-PadS
AZ They Attempted to Hold Him
10 Near Adamston-May Have
Hit one Of Them

Some nights ago as Fred Flowers,
1ho resides on the Fairmont pike :
miles from the city, was on his way
home he was held-up by twohighway-
men He was riding and leading an
oIher horse. AS he approached the
Mines ford below Adamston, two men
suddenly appeared at the side Of the
mad next to the river and commanded
him to throw up his hands. de did
10 with alacrity but in one hand was a
revolver, which he discharged on the
instant. The horse he was leading
had shied the moment before the
hiohwaymen made their appearance
and was thoroughly frightened when
the revolver was discharged. The
animal Jumped back and diverted the
aim NJ Mr.. Flowers. He is not GER
tain whether the bullet took elect or
not At the discharge Of the gun the
rohbers took to their heels and fled
down the river. He saw nothing
more Of them. The night was not SO
dark that he could not see their forms
but he was unable to discern their
features and, Of course, did not iden-
iify them. He has no idea who they
we're except that they were white
men. Mr.. Flowers had considerable
money with him and had they sue
ceeded they would have made very
decent little haul.

STEAL CITY'S CUPS.
Why City Water Fountains Are Not
Running.


Running.
Yesterdays spring-like weather had
the effect of reminding many persons
that the time is ripe for having the wat
er turned on for the season at all the
drinking fountains. WaterworkS Su-
perintendent Hines was given the hint
by telephone and otherwise scores OF
times during the day and he cOncurred
in the suggestions that the time is near
when the water fountains should be in
condition for free drinks.
But a scheme of the superintendent
will have to be evolved before the water
is turned on. From the experience of
last season, when as many as a score
of cups and chains attaching were stol-
en- from the free water fountains in
front of soda fountain stands, while no
cups or chains were broken or stolen
at the spills far removed from drug
and confectionery shops, Superinten-
dent Hines is determined to rig up
something that will put a few crimps
in the money-making intentions of the
soda and soft drink dispensers. URtil
the superintendent scheme is worked
out the water fountains will not be
serviceable, but that time is not far
off.
Relative to the complaint that none
of the watering troughS are in service,
the waterworks superintendent declares
that all the spills at dead ends in the
pipe system are running and have been
all winter for the accommodation OF
drivers of horses. Only the one at the
intersection of State and Fourth South
streets has not yet been put in service
for the season. However, it will be
running in a few days, and then, the
superintendent declares, the city will
lose it's water taxes from the nearby
livery stables.

UNDESIRABLE ITALIANS.
italian Leader Says Certain Glasses
Should Be Excluded.

Charles Benefit, who is the recog-
nized leader of the Italian people Of
this city. yesterday discussed the hOr-
rible conditions found by the police on
the day before in the raid of the house
at the corner of North Temple and
Fourth West street. He said: I think
it is a pity that such things are per
mitted TO exist Most of these Italians
come from Calabria; they come to
make money, not to become citizens,
and when they get enough money they
go back to their old home and buy
property there. 1t is q pity that the
government of the United States per
mits such people to land in this c9un-
try. The admission of such people into
this country should be stopped. At the
same time I think that the man who
keeps the house in question should be
prosecuted, and not the poor, ignorant
people on whom he imposes. 1 hope
the board of health and the city gov
eminent will probe this matter to the
bottom and enforce the law to the let
ter in this and all similar cases
