TARDINESS of
THE POLICE
Complaints That Calls for Off
GERS Are Not Attended to
Promptly.

There have been several complaints
recently of the hardness of police Of
fieers to respond to calls from residents,
especially calls made by phone. The
time of arrival of officers has varied
from half an hour to two hours and
sometimes, an occurrence in the night
time has not had police attention until
the following morning.
\ recent ease is that of Mr.. Cook,
a Board of Health inspector, whose
house was entered at S clock Satur-
day night by a burglar. The man en-
tered from the veranda into bedroom,
passed through the dining room into the
room of Mrs. Cook, when Mr.. Cook
heard a noise. He entered the room
where the burglar stood revealed in the
glare of an incandescent light. The
burglar assaulted Mr.. Cook and there
was a fierce fight for half a minute.
Mr. Cook was knocked down and he in
turn inflicted injuries on his assailant
by hitting him on the head with a
heavy boot. The man broke away and
escaped. Mr.. Cook got a good look
at the man, who was a Hawaiian,
young and of slight build. He left his
hat and shoes behind, besides lot of
blood on the veranda.
Mr. Cook telephoned to the police
station. Chief Kalakiela got the mes
sage, but instead of sending a, man
out at once, waited for one of his de-
tectiYes to phone in fron box. Three
quarters of an hour afterward Detec-
tive Collins phoned in from a box and
the chief instructed him to go to Mr..
Cook Is house on Artesian street. More
than an hour elapsed before an officer
reached Mr.. Cook 8 home:

City a...,vo,r e,..o.s Out.

The city reservoir was drained
last Wednesday morning and has
been out Of business since that time.
Consumers have been complaining
Of insufficient pressure for two or
three days, and this is explained by
the fact that the city water has been
supplied by pumping direct into the
mains. The interior of the reser-
voir was given thorough cleaning,
and as several bad leaks were dis
covered in the bottom of the reser-
voir il had to be shut off longer
than was expected in order to make
the necessary repairs. 1t is hoped
to have the repairs completed today
and the reservoir will resume busi-
ness at the old stand.
This is the first time the resei voir
has been cleaned out in eight years.
and the people who have made the
allegation that it was the juice
from the graveyard" that caused
the bad water in La Junta will
probably be surprised to learn that
there was not single trace of any
thing Of a deceased nature within
the reservoir not even dead bird.
The bottom of the reservoir was
covered with dirt and sediment to
depth of about three inches. and
this was all cleaned out. There
were no dead babies. or other
foreign matter, such as they some
times find in the water supply in
cities of the effete east.

Wina-Up Of Theatrical season.

The La Junta Theatre closed the
theatrical season last Tuesday night
in a blaze of glory. the attraction
being Florence Roberts in "Zira."
La Junta had a S4OO house, while
the same company ON the evening
before only had Sl36 house in Pu-
eblo. II was one of the most finish
ed and artistic performances ever
given in the local thespian temple,
and demonstrated the fact that real
acting is nothing more than being
natural and true to life. Ii was
such a reality that many women
shed real tears for the first time in
many moons, and most every one
that had any sentiment in their
make up. swallowed few gulps
that seemed to stick in their throats.
Manager Bourne can congratulate
himself ON having had more high
class attractions in the season
just closed than during any previous
period in the history of the theatre.

center Of the dam is a cement core
sixty feet long, eight feet wide and
eight feet high. A thirty-six inch
tile cement headgate is now in course
Of construction. The land under the
