AND ENGINEER SCALDED.

The steamer r. j. Gordon, which left
the local port Saturday afternoon at 4:3O
o'clock for Charlevoix, Mich. broke her
piston rod when she was several miles
off this port. The large freighter Alva,
which cleared from Manitowoc shortly
after the Gordon, came to the assistance
of the disabled vessel Distress signals
were blown and thereby the Two Rivers

port were attracted. The Arctic brought
the Gordon into port

GAS COMPANY OFFERS TO
SELL PLANT TO CITY,

The Manitowoc Gas Light company
has offered to sell its plant to the city
for $160, 600. The offer was filed with
the city clerk last Friday afternoon by
julius Lindstedt, secretary of the com
pany.
The company has a twenty year fran
chise. The franchise will expire in 1922
The ordinance by which the franchise
was granted contains a clause requiring
the company first to offer the plant to
the city when it desires to sell 1t is re.
ported that Chicago concern is desirous
of purchasing the plant. The plant is
considered to be worth about 500, 900. 1t
is not likely that the city will pay the
price the company asks for its plant.

ENGINEER WELLS IS GROUND
TO DEATH UNDER HIS ENGINE,

John Wells, Amigo, employed as
engineer on the North Western road for
the past sixteen years, was crushed and
ground to death under his engine at four
o'clock last Thursday morning in the
Amigo yards of the road, while he was
preparing for his days run. He was
under his engine, engaged in oiling,
when a switch engine backed into his
engine, the result being that Wells's
engine was started and the unfortunate
engineer was crushed to death and ter
ribly mangled.
Wells was formerly resi- 'ent of this
city. He came here with his parents
from Milwaukee in his boyhood. He
was married in Manitowoc in 1894 TO
Miss Sonsthagen, this city. The couple
resided here for several years and then
removed to Amigo, where they had since
resided. He is survived by his wife, one
son and one daughter. b. Sonsthagen
brother of the bereaved wife left for
Amigo last Thursday afternoon.
Wells was thirty. five years of age
His untimely death will be sorrowed for
by large number Of friends.
The remains We're brought here for
interment last Saturday afternoon. The
funeral was held Sunday afternoon at 2
o'clock from the home of Mrs. Otto
Sonsthagen. Interment was made at
Evergreen cemetery. The service was
in charge of the local lodge of Masons,
the decedent having been member of
that order.
Mrs. Otto Sonsthagen and the Misses
Eta, Alice and Inez Sonsthagen went
to Amigo last Thursday afternoon and

TEST CITY WATER WORKS.

The water works system of the city
was tested on Tuesday afternoon under
the direction of Mayor Grotfman and
the members of the councils committee
on water. The test was called at one
o'clock and continued until nearly four.
During the first hour lines of hose Were
laid from eight hydrants in different
sections of the city and during the latter
part of the test but four hydrants-two
on each side of the river, We're used. AT
the end of the first hour the we'll at the
plant was exhausted and as the city
officers would not allow the river in
take to be used an intermission of half
an hour occurred at the end of which
the test was resumed and completed. By
it the water company demonstrated that
they can give the pressure required by
the city charter but the fact that the
water supply in the well and filter gal
leries is not sufficient to meet any great
demand was also made apparent. The
OiiiSCiS VI iht NoNNi SoIhl NCh'N'N'
on this point that the test of Tuesday
was entirely too severe because a set of
conditions requiring the use of so many
hydrants in such widely separated parts
of the city is scarely within the range Of
probability
Much interest was taken in the test
by the public generally because of the
prominence which the question of mu-
nicipal ownership of the water works
WAS given in the recent elections and,
further, because of the fact that the city
has refused to pay hydrant rental for a
period of nearly two years on the ground
that the company was not complying
with the terms of its franchise. 1t is
possible that the ability of the company
to give the pressure required may have
some bearing on the councils action
with reference to the bill of the compa-
ny for the last half of 1906 which Is now
before it for allowance.
