attempt to answer categorically the vexed

that Chaucer was probably born abou;

now become so bitter, however, that
the friends of the distinguished Texas
statesman are determined to have a
primary and allow the voters to settle
the matter.
The opposition to Bailey, once the
popular idol of the Democrats of Tex
as, grew out of his alleged connection
with the Waters-Pierce Oil Company,
a subsidiary corporation of the Stand
ard Oil Company. Enemies of the
senator declare that he was white
washed" by the Texas legislature and
that the good name of Texas demands
his expulsion from public life. At the
recent anti-Bailey meeting in Waco
there was exhibited a great oil can,
bearing the. question: "Shall this, or
the people, rule the State?" With the
calling of a primary, the people will
ave an opportunity to decide for
themselves.

STEVE ADAMS TAEES WALK.

Steve Adams, charged with the
murder of Arthur Collins, manager
of the Smuggler-UniOn mine at Pam
dora, yesterday took walk about
the streets of Telluride i'm company
with Sheriff Fitzpatrick.
Adams attracted a good deal of
attention as there are many people
who know him. He was taken to a
barber shop. where he was shaved
and given a haircut. He was also
taken to the skating rink. where he
watched the skaters. The sheriff
would permit no one to talk to him.

change of venue from Telluride for

has not yet announced his decision
as to the motion, and has stated that
he probably will not announce it un-
til after he has looked over the To-
cal situation.
Adams was pale and trife thin
as a result of his long confinement.
The daily sentinel., 1908-05-08

The old water main hangs from
the east side of the bridge and has
been encased in wooden casing un-
til recently when it was torn away.
This main is hung to the sides of
the bridge, by means of iron hangers,
the pipe resting ON platform which
is supported by these hangers, Civ
ing the bridge a big burden to car
ry.
The new main is on the west side
of the bridge and does not hang from
the bridge at all, but rests on the
three stone piers of the bridge.
Before the board of county COM
missioners of the county would con-
sent to permit the city to bring
their main across on the bridge it
was agreed that the big 16-inch pipe
should not be hung from the SIDES
of the bridge, as was the case with
the old main. This Superintendent
Vedder agreed to do, and in keep
ing with his promise to the county,
has performed very handsome
piece of mechanical work, assisted
by Engineer OMalley.
There are two perfect arches made
by the water mains Every piece
composing these arches is set as true
as steel and with mathematical pre-
cision, and it is impossible to see a
break in the circular form of the
arches. The arches are so construct
ed that they rest on the far abut-
ment on which the south SIDE of the
bridge rests, and the two piers in
the river. There is no attachment
to the bridge proper, save little irons
which are for the sole purpose of
keeping the big main from swinging.
When you look at the old main,
with its curvatures and irregular
lines, and see the work that was
done on that, under contract, since
the cover has been removed, you can
readily size up the difference be-
tween the work that was done un-
der contract and what is done un-
der the city's own supervision.
BY far the best work is the man.

has carried that big main across the
river without putting one pound OF

There remains yet to be done, in
the work of bringing more water to
this city, but 200 feet of pipe laying
This would have been completed had
the work not have been delayed by
the failure of some valves to arrive.
Every bit of the work has been done
in the best manner possible and re-
fleets credit upon the city admins
tration. Superintendent Vedder told
Sentinel man yesterday that he
would come within the limit of his
estimate of about $1,000 for the
work..
An agreement was also entered in
to between the city and county that
