It ISN'T TRUE

A report that insurance rates
were held at the high mark be-
cause the new pumps for the new
waterworks system were not con-
nected up, City Engineer Mcintyre
says is not so.
The stipulation" said Mcintyre
this morning, "as l remember it,
was that there should be 10000 900
gallons of water in reserve in the
big reservoir before the insurance
rates would be lowered. For the
past two months, excepting few
days when the reservoir was en-
piled during the painting process,
there has always been from 10000
600 to 20,000,000 gallons in reserve.

UNKNOWN MAN
ENDS LIFE

An unknown man shot himself
about 6 o'clock this morning in the
yards west of the o. r. & N. depot
Passersby heard the solitary shot
and hurried to the spot to find a
laborer stretched out on his back
with gaping wound shattering the
top of his skull. Between his legs
lay a 3S caliber revolver.
The suicide had evidently placed
the barrel of the revolver in his
mouth and fired a bullet into his
brain The mustache was singed
and the top of the skull shattered
by the conclusion. The face was
swollen out of shape and would be
difficult to recognize.
Coroner Witter ordered the man
taken to Sacred Heart hospital,
where efforts were made to pro-
long his life. Not a paper letter
or anything by which he might be
identified was found and his cloth
ing bore no marks of Identification.
He is a heavily built man, weigh
ing possibly 10 pounds, IS about
80 years old, with hair turning gray
and bald in front. His moustache is
brown, turning gray. His hands
are large and calloused, showing
him to have been hard worker.
He wore blue overalls and a blue
jumper and an army and navy
campaign hat, size IN.
c. A. Hicks, nightwatch for the
Barber Asphalt works, a short dis
lance from where the suicide oc-
Cured, said that about 6 o'clock
he saw the man acting sus-
piciously.
Detective McDermott was put on
the case this morning and found
where for several days the man
has been around the Headlight res
taurant, corner Front avenue and
Division street. seeking a job wash
ing dishes for his meals. He claim
ed to have been discouraged and
had the revolver at the time. Yes
terday afternoon he told the peo-
pie there that he had a job as
Waterman for the railroad. Later
he came back and said he failed to
get It. No one knew his name or
whence he came.

THOUGHT H0LDUP MAN
WOULD WAIT

"Where can find a policeman.
I've been held up"
This is the startling interroga-
ton fired at resident of the
North Side at Monroe and Augusta
by an excited man driving a rig.
The latter explained that he had
been robbed in road agent style
farther out and figured on catch
ing the holdup still patiently wait
ing at the scene of his crime if a
policeman could only be found.
The astonished resident, who is
apparently acquainted with local
conditions, directed the victim to
the saloons near the northern end
Of the Monroe street bridge. He
had somehow become convinced
that this was the proper place to
seek an officer of the law in case
of an emergency.
But the road agent must have
grown tired of waiting for some
one to come and get him, as no
arrest of holdup has yet been re-
ported from that part of the city.
Possibly the policeman wasn't
there after all.

dents enter with the idea of be-

is due to the fact that they are so

men should claim them quickly"
