Santa Fe Faces a Water Famine,

HH
According to Adjutant General w.
H. Whiteman of Santa Fe, that city
Is experiencing a water famine.
There is absolutely no water in the
reservoir. the Rio de Santa Fe is fro
zen up tight, and there is no likeli.
hood of any more water coming into
the reservoir until spring." said Gen
eral Whiteman yesterday. Many Of
the people are going to the river and
chopping ice and taking it home and
melting 1t. The condition Is really
serious, and something must be done
at once or the town must depend on
what few wells there are in the city
limits for water.
In early fall the water company
released what water IL had stored
and cleaned out the reservoir, and
since that time but little has run in.
All water motors have ceased run
ming and many of the public houses
have had their supply shut OFF and
water for all except domestic use is
denied the citizens Of the town. For
the past several months the water
has been shut OFF for one or two days
at a time. The question Is what can
be done. If Santa Re should have .
serious confiagration the town would
burn, as there is not enough pressure
in the pipes to furnish ven partial
protection Morning Journal.

Ell PASO. Tex. Jan. 6.-Mrs. Lily
Langtry got an ovation at Langtry
while she was en- route 10 the Pacific
Coast.
Langtry was the former home of the
late Squire Roy Bean. about whom
many stories Of eccentricity were told.
The town was named by Bean fourteen
years ago in honor of the Jersey Lily.
Twenty-Five cowboys and fifteen other
country folks were at the station. which
is an isolated adobe village in the desert.
Sam Bean, son Of the squire, was fore
most in the receiving line, and speech
o. welcome was made by a school girl,
daughter of a prominent cattleman-
Mrs. Langtry was presented with a
live tarantula in a silver filigree cage, a
black pet bear span of mules, and the
late 'squire's six shooter. The actress
declined the mules. but the bear will be
sent to her farm in California. The tar
antula and the six-shooter she took with
her.
A drunken cowman was so elated that
he fred off two guns. Mrs. Langtry' S

their train.
