A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY
PASSES UNNOTICED

A fellow named 7. u r. Key had an
alteration with a man named Cook at
the Gem Restaurant late Wednesday af-
ternoon in which the latter severed the
head of the former entirely from the body
with a single blow of an old axe. The
awful tragedy took place in the kitchen
of that popular downtown hostelry, and
strange to say attracted little or no at
tention. Several people witnessed the
cold blooded killing. but no enc notified
the police and no arrests have been made.
Cook is still at his place. The deceased
has many relatives in the city and they
all are awaiting the same fate about
Thanksgiving Day.

CITIZENS ARE WARNED TO
RESPECT THE WHISTLES

just at this season of the year n
great amount of water is being used
and until the new extension to the
city water works is completed the
pressure will be low every day. 1t
will tax the system to meet the de-
mand. With low pressure the fire
department will work at a disadvant-
age should there be "a serious fire.
All citizens are urged to turn off
running water on lawns or from hy-
drants Immediately upon hearing the
electric light whistle give one long
blow and five short blows. This will
be the warning of fire danger. II
bchooves every good citizen to obey
this order. With many hoses rum
ming the pressure would be so low
that the fire department would be
almost powerless.
Remember. one long whistle and
five short ONES, and this repeated
means that there is a fire and all
running water should be shut OFF.
