WORK STOPPED ON GARRISON CREEK
Men Searching for The Body of John
Carroll Ordered Not to Change
the Creek Channel.

Plans for turning Garrison creek
into Mill creek so that a thorough
search for the body of John Carroll,
the missing milkman, might be made
on the lower part of the stream, went
somewhat awry this morning when a
number of men who had assembled
with teams and scrapers at the juno
ton of the two streams were notified
not to change the channel Of the creek
under penalty of being prosecuted
The principal DIRECTORS to the plan,
it is said, were a number of owners OF
brick buildings along Mill creek who
were afraid that their buildings might
be damaged if Garrison creek was
turned into Mill creek. A number of
protests We're made to the county COM
missioners and after investigating the
matter it is said that a courier was
dispatched to the junction of the two
streams with orders to notify the men
there not to change the channel until
the water in the upper part of Mill
creek subsidies somewhat.

Senator Clapp is a great campaigner

He got to the village and found the

down. In all he tried half a dozen
times and each time was compelled to
stop because Of the noise
He was just about to quit when an
