PROBLEM FOR THE CITY
POSSIBLE THAT DISPOSAL OF
SEWAGE IN WEST RICHMOND
WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY
MEANS OF FILTRATION PLANT.

Members of the Board of Works
yesterday afternoon went 10 the East
ern Insane Hospital accompanied by
Prof Sackett for the purpose of in
ton plant by which the sewage from
the state institution is disposed of.
The problem that confronted East
haven previous to the installation OF
the filtration plant was precisely like
that which now confronts ts-G city
with reference 10 the disposition of
sewage that will be carried throus..
the mains of the proposed new West
Richmond sewer The natural water
shed of that part of West Richmond
south of West Main street. is Clear
Creek and the sewage could not be
drained into Whitewater river as it
done north of West Main street. As
Clear Greek is small stream and
hardly capable of carrying off the
sewage the same trouble that occurr-
ed at Easthaven when this was at
tempted would result. The idea of the
city engineer and of the Board of
Works is TO construct a filtration
plant in the territory through which
the new sewerage system will rum
thus disposing Of the sewage in this
sanitary manner and making certain
that the portions that finally reach
Clear Creek will cause no trouble
The Easthaven filtration plant was
built by Prof. Sackett of Earlham
College and has been eminentIy sue
cessful EaTlham college has IN in
dependent sewerage system but it is
possible that the college authorities
will decide to connect the institution
with the new system now proposed.
The Board of Works has formally pre-
scented the matter TO Earlham col
lege Plans for the sewerage system
are now being prepared b. the city
engineer and ii is expected that they
will call for a filtration plant similar
to he one installed ar Easthaven.

DEPUTIES OPEN FIRE

Pueblo Colo, May 9.-Deputy sher-'

killed and two other strikers were seri-
ously wounded. Two deputies were
previously badly beaten in an effort to
disarm the strikers. The deputies are

The trouble arose over the inaugura-
ton. of an eight-hour day. The men
demanded the same pay for eight
hours as formerly was paid for ten
hours. One hundred strikers gathered
at the plant and endeavored to keep
strikebreakers from entering. Several
fights we're in progress when the sher:-
iff and his deputiese,arrived There
were many women in the crowd and
when the sheriff ordered it to dispense
the women attacked them and some
one fired shot. immediately the
deputies fired a volley, killing one man

formed the police that Spier left his
bedchamber to go to the diningroom
in search of a burglar and that she
afterward, heard shots. Except that
the furnishings of the diningroom in
which the body was found were dis
arranged the police say that there was
nothing about the house to indicate
the presence of a burglar. One door
was found unlocked, but without signs
Of having been forced, and an active
bulldog, which accompanied Mr.. Spier
to the diningroom, took no part in the
reported duel with burglar, IL there
was one.
On the other hand the police have
ascertained that one month before his
death Mr.. Spier had insured his life
for $4,000 and had been obliged to
discount note for s1,357 to pay the
premium on one Of the policies when
it became payable last Saturday. The
policies were payable regardless of
the cause of death and the beneficiary
had been changed from Mrs. Spier to a
trustee of his estate.
Coroner Mathew Cahill said that he
is positive that the wound which
caused MIR. Spier's death could not
have been inflicted by himself and
that Mr.. Spier was undoubtedly muir
dered.
