]. w. Welborn, of 234 E Street north
east, has requested that the pump at the
corner of Fourth and II Streets northeast
be condemned and the handle and dipper
removed. Mr.. Welborn complains that it
is the means of drawing to the spot. espe-
cially after dark. crowds of noisy and un-
ruly boys, which cause him and his fam
lily much annoyance. He says there are
three classes of people who patronize the
pump-about a dozen families, a few pass
ers-by, and crowds of children. He states
that the latter come to play as much as
to drink, and that the pump is nuisance.
Mr.. Welborn estimates that the relative
percentages of the three classes of pa
irons would be represented by l, l, and
300, respectively.
At the suggestion of w. A. Mcfarland,
Superintendent of the Water Department.
the complaint has been referred to the
Police Department to ascertain whether
the pump in ats present location consu-
tutes a nuisance.

could grasp her arm with his left

The girl was limp and scantily

under her arms. Then again he lifted,

one of the men above, reaching down,

dead than alive.
After that, they lifted Wagner and
drew him across the sill. They
thought his leg was broken. but after

When Wagner reported for duty the

To spring up there, and tried to see
The good in that which he had done
To feel that all was earned which he
Had gained-ahd | succeeded, too!

He he'd but won what was his due
