WATER co.'s
STATEMENT
AS TO THE SITUATION WITH RE-
GARD TO THE WATER PRES
SURE AT FIRE PLUGS.

The facts surrounding the destruc-
ton of the Pierson hotel by fire about
week ago have occasioned a good
deal of comment and complaint about
the want of water pressure, and the
water company have come in for no
little criticism. AS there are usually
two sides to a story, The Herald called
upon the water company for its side
this morning. The reporter found w.
III. Watts, the superintendent, who
made the following statement:
THE company does not deserve the
harsh things that have been said in
the last fe wdays. We are complying
in every way with our contract with
the city, and, as matter of fact, more
than complying with it. The contract
calls for 20 pounds pressure at the fire
plug, and they never get less than IS
pounds. You see at the present time
they are getting so pounds pointing
70 registering gauge on the wall OF
the Office. IF. however, the fire plugs
are located a good distance from the
fire the pressure is, of course, not as
great at the nozzle as it is at the plug.
it is weakened by the friction of long
line of hose. We cannot give the city
any greater pressure as they are re-
ceiving now all that we can give ac-
cording to the height of the reservoir.
AS a matter of fact, it is greater than
that given in many other and larger
cities. There are a number of cities
where the pressure is not greater than
80 pounds. but it is increased to over
100 pounds with the aid of the steam
fire engine. The hydrants in this city
are too far apart in the outlying dis
trict; in the central portion of the
town they are all right and well locat-
ed The only remedy / can suggest I'M
der the existing condition of things is
to increase the number of fire hydrants.
Take, for instance, the Pierson hotel
fire. All the working plugs they had
were four. and they had to run two
full blocks and stretch 500 feet OF hose
and $50 feet on the others. AS | have
said before. carrying the water through
such a length of hose as that would
weaken the pressure. and
hence the complaints that have been
made We are Obliged to The Herald
'or this opportunity to explain our
tide of the matter. and / think the pub
ic will concede that the fault does
lot lie with us as we are more than
illing our contract in the amount of
pressure supplied"

SETTLERS ABOUT SAN CARLOS
RESERVATION ANXIOUS TO
LOSE SOME INDIANS

Special to The Herald.
TUCSON. Feb 22.-There is a con-
centrated movement on the part of the
settlers of surrounding the San Carlos
Apache reservation to encourage the
removal of the Indians to Fort Sill,
Oklahoma.
Virtually al 1.-The troops were re-
moved from the San Carlos after the
breaking out of the Spanish war, leav-
ing the lives of the settlers continuity
jeopardized.
The Apaches of San Carlos have long
been dissatisfied. and have asked the
government repeatedly to let them
move to some other portion of the
government lands. Many plans have
been devised to make them more
satisfied with their lot, and now it is
thought if sent to Fort Sill. where their
relatives are imprisoned, they will be-
come conteEted.
Lieutenant Hyer has made q lengthy
report of his investigation into the
condition of the Indians and approving
the proposed move to Fort Sill. He
says it will take an appropriation of
about $4,000 to pay for transporta-
ton and to build little houses for the
new corners like those which are now
occupied by the prisoners.

ANOTHER BOLD ROBBERY ON
A SOUTHERN PACIFIC TRAIN.
1t Was the Same Train the Soldier
Was on. Who Was Robbed OF His
Gold, and the Victim Was an Elderly
Merchant.

The bold robbery of a young soldier
on a G. H. & S. A. train near this city
by two con men was not the only rob-
berry perpetrated-
Further east after train No. lO mad
crossed the Louisiana line a merchant
named Blum, of Carencro, Louisiana.
who was a passenger, was robbed of
81 500 in cash and negotiable paper in
a manenr somewhat similar to the rob-
berry of the soldier.
The robbery took place in the car.
The New Orleans Picayune tells the
story as follows:
Two unknown men got around MIR.
Blum, who is well advanced in years,
and jostled him. One of them had on
overcoat and the other offered his SER
vices to Mr.. Blum in putting on his
oyercoat Between them, and in some
unacocuntable way, they went through
the pockets of the parish merchant
and rified them of everything valuable
The amount of ready cash was not
large, but the thieves secured drafts
and bankable paper amounting TO be-
tween 81 500 and 81 800 Mr.. Blum
does not know the exact amount OF the
loss
Carenco is on the Opelousas branch
of the Southern Pacific road, and In
LAFAYETTE parish Mr. Blum does
large mercantile business in the place,
and he had arranged to come down to
the city for the festive days.
His daughter was visiting in Lake
Charles, and she was wired to take the
morning train. and that he would meet
her at Lafayette, the junction point
The clever work took place near the
Lafayette junction, and it is thought
the robbers escaped at that point or
near there.

McKelligOn denies that he ever told
Coons that he had enough; asserts that

After the fight Coons swore out a
warrant against McKelligon charging
assault and the attorney was cited to
appear before Justice Spencer this af
ternoon for trial
Both McKelligon and Coons called
at The Herald office this morning and
made statements for publication.
Coons' statement was as follows:

Patterson at O'Clock this morning to

at first thought probable that the son
might have left home for the purpose
of visiting the father. Fear is ex-
pressed by the mother of the missing
lad that he was either kidnapped OF en-
ticed from home by two strange men

streets in that vicinity for several
days previous to his disappearance
Young Andrews left home about
O'Clock last Wednesday afternoon. says
the Los Angeles Herald, and has not
been seen or heard from since. Detec-
tives have been working on the case
for the last three days but have been
unable to obtain the slightest clue to
the whereabouts of the missing youth.
The police have kept the facts sur
rounding the case carefully guarded.
and the story of young Andrews's dis
appearance only leaked out through
the neighbors of the family.
Mrs. c. D. Andrews, mother of the
missing boy, related the facts of her
SOS disappearance to a reporter for
The Herald yesterday afternoon. She
firmly believes that her boy was en-
ticed from home. Neighbors told her
that they saw two well dressed stran-
gers talking with her son a few hours
before he left home. Mrs. Andrews is
almost distracted over the affair. She
does not think any harm has befallen
her boy. or that he left home of his
own accord, but rather that he was
forcibly carried away. and is being de-
tanned against his will. Mrs. Andrews
is confident that her boy would not run
away.
