Many of our citizens were awakened
from their sleep about IL o'clock Friday
night by heavy laundering sound
which Jared the buildings The irst
thought that struck them was that the
bank safe had again been dynamited.
| Immediately following this sound, how
ever, came the sound of heavy rushing
| waters. They then suspected that the
city water tank had burst. Rushing to
the place they found their suspicious
true. The remnants of the tank Law
scattered all over the west side of the
park hill. Slaves, pieces of roof and
! timbers lay scattered in every direction,
and mostly broken to splinters. The
| first impression was that dynamite had
been applied by some fend, but closer
study of the wreck disposed of that
| theory. The tank stood on inch planks
| as joists, and these had all tipped in a
| westerly direction-the direction in
| which the tank fell. And it is now no.
ticed that there was no bridging between
the joists, and consequently, as the joists
| became wet and soft they gradually
worked to one side. Many also state
now that the tank leaned little to the
west, which would account for it's work
| ing that way. 1t is fortunate the acct
| dent occurred during the night, as many
people were in the habit of lounging in
| the shade around the tank during the
daytime. The brick tower is practically
intact, and most of the iron bands are all
right.
