If members of the gang were really

would flee to the Bad Lands to the

They used four distinct drives in TAX.

BUILD PLANT OF THEIR OWN.
Business Men of Blunt Take Action on
. # Water Question.


Some of the business men of Blunt
have constructed a waterworks system
of their own, procuring water for the
purpose from an artesian well which
was sunk about two years ago with the
object of furnishing the town with wa
ter for fire protection and domestic
purposes. After the artesian well was
sunk two years ago the town ran out
of money and could not complete the
waterworks system, the voters having
defeated a proposition to issue bonds
for the laying of the necessary water
mains. Until now the water from the
well has gone to waste.
The business men, at their expense,
purchased piping short time ago and
have laid this along the street passing
the business houses. The mains are
connected with the artesian well, thus
affording the business men ample IRE
protection. Two hydrants have Ueen
located at convenient points. The town
authorities have agreed TO purchase a
quantity of hose, and when It arrives a
volunteer fire department will be or
ganized. Renewed efforts viii now be
made to induce the voters to authorize
the issuance. of bonds for the extension
of the water mains to the remainder
of the business section and to the res
idence portion of the town. LA
