VIII Install Water Works.

Amarillo Is about to solve the
Water Works question, The story
OF the farmer and the quail is TO
be repeated. According to the Daily
Panhandle. the city council with all
the members present and concurring.
City Attorney Gee has been instruct
ed to frame an ordinance calling for
an election to decide whether the city
Of Amarillo shall vote bonds TO build
and maintain a system OF water
works and an electric light plant.

Daily Panhandle expresses the feeling
and sentiments OF the people and has
been showing up the dlliatory tactics

the people have stepped in to take a
hand. The council has had some Of

cities and towns around which
have In operation their own plants

Every house has a plant OF It's own,
but the city has no fire protection.
The Brand has called attention to the
urgent need of system for the busl-
ness protection of the city, for II a
fire should be started, and the wind
up, there would be no way OF saving
the town. The hack OF ample fire
protection makes the insurance rate
very high. The installation OF a
plant would reduce this item OF ex-
pense sufficient to pay for the plant
in a few years. Those who have
been paying insurance open their
eyes wide when the agents present
their bills, but they can do nothing
as the local agent is not a rate max
or. But what is TO be done about IT.
Probably nothing, until a block or
two OF our best business houses go up

stand around the glowing embers,

CRIPPLE MAN IS
 LODGED IN JAIL
R. D. BLAKE IS CHARGED WITH SHOOTING AT A FRIEND WHO WAS TRYING TO SERVE HIM. NEWS OF PRATTVlLLE.

Prattville, June 15.-tSpecial)-R D. Blake, a cripple white man, who resides and carries on small mercantile business at Booth, was lodged in jail last night by the sheriff on a warrant charging an assault with a gun with intent to commit murder. The prisoner. who occupies a cell in Autauga county's new jail, is all invalid, not having walked a step in per laps thirty or thirty-five years, appar- ently from paralysis of the back. spine and lower extremities The trouble grew out of an effort his merchant friend T. w Faulk, made to purchase a horse for the prisoner. On reporting to Blake that the owner of the horse wanted $6o for the horse, he apparently thought Faulk was trying to make loo per cent commission on the deal and began abus- ing Faulk and from abuse drew his pisloi, it is said, and shot at Faulk, missing his head by narrow margin.
 The pistol being fl Colts, Faulk owes his life to the bad craftsmanship of the prisoner It seems there had not been any trouble between Blake and his neigh bor but the neighbor feared to risk him on another shot, so lodged complaint, and the sheriff brought him to jail, where he awaits preliminary trial which Will occur Monday.
 Blake was charged with a similar off, fense some weeks ago, having shot ana wounded a negro who was trading with him, because, as was reported, the negro asked him for change for his money paid over in trading.
