SURVEY FOR
WATER MAIN
ENGINEERS RUNNING
LINES ON GRAND AVENUE FOR
BENEFIT OF RAILROAD.
Brought Here by Engineer for Wyo-
ming Division and Working Under
His Direction-Marshal Has Plan
Somewhat Different From That of
Mayor Mckee.

The Union Pacific Railroad company
Is preparing to lay a new water main
on Grand venue. That statement was
made in the columns of The Repub-
lican yesterday afternoon and con-
firmed later by the arrival of Engineer
L. B. Merriam and two surveyors from
Cheyenne yesterday afternoon. This
morning Messrs. d. w. %Stradling and
R. e. Johnson, the two surveyors, be-
gan work on Grand venue with their
Instruments, running levels as far as
the city reservoir, presumably getting
data for an estimate of the amount of
material necessary to lay the new
main. Neither gentleman was inclined
to talk, one of them %contenting him
self with the announcement that he
and his companion represented the
railroad company, and that they were
working toward the installation of a
new water main on Grand avenue, from
the reservoir to the railroad tracks.
The matter will probably be brought
up at the meeting of the city council
tonight.
Marshal Sigman disagrees with
Mayor Mckee in some of the latter's
plans for the rebuilding of the city
system. He says the mains on Tenth
street to Park, Park street to First,
First street to Flint, Flint street to
Ninth and Ninth street to Grand
nut, taking in practically the whole of
the city east of the railroad, should be
of six-inch pipe, and then the laterals
the north and south streets need
not be larger than four inches. A fire
occurring midway between the Grand.
avenue main and the outer line of
siX-inch mains would furnish water
for the fire apparatus from both direc'
lions n be ample for all purposes.
The cost would be considerably less
than that for six-inch laterals OF either
side of the Grand emu main. He
believes the lateral mains on the north
and south streets need not be connect
ed at any point between Grand avenue
and Flint or Grand avenue and Park
avenue
Z Hon. A. C. Jones, cashier of the
First National bank, believes the main
laterals could be placed to good ad-
vantage in the alleys OF the city, and
not in the middle of the street. That,
he holds, would obviate the inconveni
ence of cutting up the streets to make
connections with the mains or laterals
and be handy for the Individual prop
erty wners
Several citizens urge that the mat
ter be gotten in shape at once and set
tied, so that the city can work with the
railroad company. One citizen, a
property owner, believes the city
should own and control the main pipes
and the service pipes to the curb line,
where a municipal valve should be in
stalled. From this valve the individ-
ual consumer would be expected to
convey the water to his service open
ings at his own expense. The valves
on the laterals should be located at
Grand avenue and at the outer ends
and be absolutely under the control
of the city, a permit being required to
open or close one for any purpose
whatever. The municipal valves
should be controlled by the city.

there has not been pleasant feelings
between Mr.. Parks and MI. CoVaE.
It seems that there was some
trouble about business matters, and
that Mr. Parks came down from Co
lunbla Fr:dly morning to straighten
out the matter. All the parties were
together in a conversation for soma
time Friday morning and they
separated. It was only 8 short time
when they came together again, and
the shooting took place as above stat
ed. It is reported that man tele-
phoned to M. Parks at Columbia
Thursday and advised him not to
CONS to OraDgeburg Friday, asking
him to have his business transacted
either through other parties or by
corresp Jn0euce, stating to Mr.. Parks
that Mr.. Covar had threatened to kill
him If he interfered. Il Is also rumor-
ed that Mr.. Covar had been informed
that Mr.. PARKS intended to kill him
on account Of some reports that be
had heard. We believe this idle

Tbs fact is that beth parties acted
on the iGle talk they had heard and
we're well armed and prepared for
shooting without delay. The father
OF Mr.. Covar, an old gentleman, who
resides here with bis SCH, vas also
armed. He did not attempt to shoot
and returned his pistol to his pocket
when the pistol was taken away from
bis son. After the fusilade when Nj.

he did.
