M. c. Rower received word that dogs
were chasing the sheep in his Gulf pas
ture, and Monday he went up to SCI
about it. When he and . companion
entered the pasture, big flock of sheer
came running over the hill in great
terror. On following them up, it was
found that instead of a dog being the
pursuer, the marauder was a wild and
fierce boar hog. He was promptly shot.
He weighed not over 12O lbs., being very
thin. He had already killed two OF the
sheep. The animal was owned by q
party in Northfeld.
The Water Situation.

recent years. Vegetation was SO far ad-

The chief trouble 10 in failing water
supplies for household and other uses, and
for power purposes. The entire season
has been unprecedentedly dry, and now,
with . complete absence OF rain for
several weeks, there is almost no spring
or running water. The same story comes
from all about.
The village water supply here has dim
inished considerably the past week and is
down to . point which has made it
necessary to cut on the supply for manu-
featuring purposes of the canning factory
and the White Cross Milk company, the
Last -two -induxtries to become patrons.
This will be done today in the hope that
the gradual lowering of the reservoir will
be checked, for it is now down below the
safety point. Just ss soon ss it can be
done the water will be restored to these
and other patrons who have been cur
tailed. II heavy rain does not come soon,
the use will probably have to be limited
to household purposes only very shortly,
rs the springs are discharging less every
day.
A sample of water from the Ayre brook
was sent to the state laboratory Friday,
but no report has come on IT yet, the
laboratory being flooded with such wster
tests II 1t should prove pure, and there
should be urgent need of it, wster from
this brook may be pumped into the
main near ths Forest street bridge.
The water department is also trying to
develop what drinking water it can at
the base of the steep bank on Forest
street near B. r. Herrick's.
Once more, everybody is urgently
warned to save water-and pray for rain.
