IRRIGATES AND DRAINS
In THE SAME DITCHES
About $500 Feet Of Water Pipe Laid at
Riverdale Farm.

Attorney B. M. Vaughan has had a
crew of men during the last three
weeks laying water pipes at River
dale. Joseph LaVigne had charge
of the work. Fifteen hundred feet
of three and one half inch iron pipe,
and nearly three hundred feet Of two
inch pipe, have been put into the
ground. The pipes extend across the
low lands from three large springs in
the side of the sandhill, to the higher
lands near his residence. 1t also
connects with the old water pipes.
Old and new together, Mr.. Vaughan
now has laid in his gardens, at River
dale, nearly $500 feet of water pipe.
Part of the distance his new pipe is
eight feet below the surface Of the
ground. Along this pipe, at suitable
intervals, are penstocks Tor hydracts)
and gate-valves. By means Of these
hydrauts and valves Mr.. Vaughan
can control the water furnished by
this system to irrigate nearly eighteen
acres Of his best garden land. His
three springs now furnish nearly eight
hundred barrels of water every twenty
four hours. And aT's are 50 placed
along the pipe in the hill-front. that
any desired number Of other springs
can be connected with the pipes just
laid
When completed, in addition to
supplying all Of his buildings with the
finest of spring water, Mr.. Vaughan
will have one Of the most complete
irrigation plants in Wisconsin.
Mr.. Vaughan will use the same
bitches, in which he has just laid his
water-pipeS, to surface drain his low,
wet lands. 1t seems little queer to
use the same ditch, both to water
and to dry the same land-but that is
what Mr.. Vaughan expects to do, and
his ditch is so arranged that he can do
it,

STRONG DRINKS RUIN
TALENTED MUSICIAN
VIM. Bremen. Of West Side, Seeks Shelter in
City Hall.

VIM. Bremen, of the west side, a
man about sixty years OF age. is a
character of considerable note. He
was born in Milwaukee, September
80, 1912. Came to Grand Rapids in
May 1858, with his parents, and has
resided here ever since. He will be
remembered, in his better days, as an
expert machinist competent to do all
kinds of difficult work. He was also
a musician of considerable note. His
parents died many years ago and
he has continued to lead bachelors
life ever since. He has always loved
his ''schnapps." At one time was
the owner Of considerable property.
Now he has none. He is sheltered
nights in the city hall property on
the west side and by day visits his
old familiar haunts. 1t is pity that
it IS so, but there is no one to blame
but himself. 1t is sad to mediate
upon such a condition where talent
and ability is wasted.

Stuffed,

Cedar Falls. June 25.-Some excite
ment in police circles has been occas-
Toned here, yesterday, by the presence
in the city of a special officer of the
government, who is looking up evidence
in case which dates back to last June,
and which involves Deputy United
States Marshal Healy. of Cedar Rapids.
AT that time the Danish people held a
celebration near this city, at which
beer was sold. Four or five were ar
rested and taken to Cedar Rapids. but
no case was made against them. They
claim to have paid their own expenses
and 1t is understood the business of the
officer was to secure affidavits so stat
ing. 1t is said that the expense account
OF Marshal Healy contained these items
of expense. He has many friends here
who have known him long and ntimate-
ly, who refuse to believe the story
until 1t is proved. The officer who
is looking into the matter has made
no statement as to what his business
is further than it is in connection with
arrests of year ago.

had been sick since last Friday, and
wasn't getting better. Micheal Klepac,
20 years of age. took n shot gun We'd
nesday afternoon and shot himself just
below the heart dying within few
minutes. The deed was committed in
the kitchen of the home of his mother,
50 Twentieth avenue.
Klepac had been sick since last Fri
day and part of the time he had high
fever. Sunday he stood on the bridge
for long time looking at the river and
1t is probable that thoughts of self-de-
strucuon We're in his mind at that
time. During the past day or two he
had been talking in an incoherent sort
of way about knives. indicating that
he was mentally unbalanced to great
err or less extent.
Klepacs mother was in the room
which is used as kitchen in the win
ter time. when she heard the shot. The
walls and door were spattered with
blood. DR.. King was summoned and
went to the scene hastily, but Klepac
lived but short time
