WATER FAMINE IN
Or ANGE IN RUSH
HOURS OF MORNING

Residents of Orange had a hard time
to get water early today to use for
household purposes and some people
were unable to perform their morning
sblutfons.
The supply from the reservoir at
Campbells Pond seemed to run short.
and when people failed to secure any
the water office was appealed to, but
officials there were unable to give any
reason for the trouble. 1t was said
that there was plenty of water, but
that the old pumps were not able to
supply the demand.
The new pumping station will be
ready in a week or so, it is said, and
then, it was declared, the trouble would
not occur again.
One citizen of Main street who was
unable to wash his face or shave him
self hurried to the water office and ex-
pressed his views in no mild tone, and
announced his determination to appear
before the council water committee in
an effort to get redress. He will also
ask an explanation why he has to pay
about 81 a month to filter what water
is furnished.
Engineers at the pond claimed the
water had not been shut off, but said
there was so great a consumption of
water between 8 and 10 o'clock that the
pumps were unable to supply the de-
mand, with the result that the pres
sure was lowered.

DOGS, CONDEMNED TO die, HOWL WAY
OUT OF THEIR DEATH CHAMBER

After having howled for many nights,
much to the annoyance of the hremen
nearby, who were trying to get some
sleep, but without success, four con
demned CANNES in the Orange dog
pound were mysteriously released last
night, and by gaining their liberty also
saved their lives, for they were to have
beer executed today by asphyxiation.
How they got out of the pound is
known, but who the parties were that
let them out is the thing the pound
keeper would like to know. The escape
was effected through someone breaking
