many WELLS IN EAST ALDER STREET ARE GOING DRY

there are few means of obtaining
water from Mill creek. except to carry
it in buckets or other vessels.
Such thing was never known be-
fore. except in very hot and dry sea-
sons. and then in only few instances
at present. Yesterday several residents
put in nearly all day sinking their wells
deeper, but the relief was only tenn
porary, water being developed soon
sinking away again. The strange phe-
nomenon, it seems. is confined only to
east of Watertown addition.

may not appear against Dr. Edward
Leon. Of this city. when he IS brought
TO trial In this event the case against
the surgeon. who was arrested early yes
terday morning. viii be dismissed
At the inquest Of her husband, William
Bywaters, who was killed by her two
brothers an hour after the marriage cere-
mony. Mrs. Bywaters gave testimony very
very damaging to Dr. Leon This iesti-
mony and the past record of Dr. Leon
caused Maj. Sylvester to order his arrest.
Dr. Edward Leon Thompson, also known
as Dr. Edward Leon. was arraigned in
the Police Court yesterday morning Al
the request of Prosecuting Attorney
Ralph Given the hearing was postponed.
No testimony was taken. DR.. Leon was
released on a 81 go bond. Previous % his
arrest early yesterday morning he was IT
liberty under $500 bond on a similar
charge.
The prosecution made the request before
Judge Mullowny that the case be put of
indefinitely because Of the fact that the
principal witness, Mrs. Bywaters is sick
al her home in Virginia and unable l.
testify.
Her Friends Object
The friends and relatives Of Mrs By
waters are said 10 be opposed 70 the idea
of having her come to Washington and
appear in court against Dr. Leon. Mrs.
Bywaters herself is also said 70 be 0D-
posed TO the suggestion. A public hear
ing against the man would be particularly
embarrassing 70 the widowed bride her
friends declare. and in addition would
bring upon the woman a great deal ot
undue nOtOriety.
Because Of the fact that Dr. Leon had
been arrested previously and is awaiting
trial on charges of a similar character in
another case, the Washington police are
particularly anxious 70 have Mrs. By
waters appear against the surgeon.

Bywaters. has returned TO Washington
