A very satisfactory test Of the new res
ervoir was made Tuesday evening. The
water did not go below so pounds pres
sure at any stage of the experiment,
which occupied about an hour. With
one stream the gauge showed a pressure
of IS pounds and with two 10 pounds.
With three streams there was 60 pounds
and the water was thrown to height Of
IS feet. Before the reservoir was install
ed 1t took two hours to get back to normal
pressure after severe test. Now 1t goes
back almost Immediately, and there Is
better normal pressure-90 pounds in
stead of 80. The test shows that In case
of a bad fire plenty of water and pressure
can be counted on under present condi-
lions.

Buck & Co. Mr.. Cardinal saw him In
the Converse house, and Officer Conroy
of Palmer was notified. The Palmer Of
ficer found Grant at the Weeks house
stable and took him into custody. When
on his way to the lookup the prisoner
broke away and an exciting chase ensued.
Grant ran about a quarter of mile to
the river, and as the water was low he
waded across. He would have got clear
the other side of the river had not seen
the chase and joined the pursuit. The
badly wanted man was winded by his run
and fell an easy victim to the new pur-
suers. Grant made no objection to CON-
ing from Palmer to answer to the charges
against him without requisition papers,
and was brought down on the evening
train. Officer Helm placed the bracelets
