DEATH In A WELL.
James Strong of Lansing Falls and
is Impaled on Iron Tubing.

James Strong, aged about so
years, an employee of the Turner
button factory and living in the old
McAneny house at Columbus, met
death while engaged in making re-
pairs on his we'll wednesday after
noon. The iron piping had been UNI
coupled at the bottom of the well,
and a portion was left standing in
an upright position. A ladder was
put down and on this Strong started
to descend after tying a rope about
his body. The ladder broke, the
knot in the rope became united, and
the mans body became impaled up
ON the piping below. He was man
weighing $50 pounds. 1t was neces-
sary for several men to descend and
lift the body from the iron piping
which had entered several inches

"STRONGHEART" PLEASES BIG
AUDIENCE.
RObt. Gaillard and Splendid Com
pany Give Excellent Production
of Popular College Play.

If there was anyone who witness
ed the production of "Strongheart'
at the Grand on Thursday evening
who was displeased with the per-
Torrance, he must be crouch in
deed. 1t can safely be said that it
was one of the best productions ever
seen in the house. Possibly we have
said this before this winter with ref
erence to other attractions, but
nevertheless it is true. The patrons
of the Grand have never had the
pleasure of witnessing so many high
class performances in one season
before, and the end is not yet.
Robert Gaillard's Interpretation Of
the Indian character of Strong
heart" was one of the best charact-
ers ever depicted on the local stage.
He is a splendid actor, and was
backed up with thoroughly capable
company. The play throughout gave
the best of satisfaction.

CONDITION OF CITY WATER.
City Health Officer Recommends New
City Well and Sewerage
System.

Dear Editor;
From the great number of ques-
lions that come to this Office, regard
ing our o.,y Water, leads me to
state publicity, through your col
umns, that the water of DEBORAH
supplied from the south pumping
station is not up to the standard, as
we would have it.
There are several kinds of alga,
which is the lowest form of organic
life, considerable nitrate, and traces
of putrid matter, the latter from
seapage of sewage. While all this
exists, it is not bad enough to be con-
demned by the State Board, Ind in
my opinion, very little worse than it
always has been. However, the
Board of Health are using their best
efforts to give you good, pure water,
under the present conditions, and
have ordered the water supplied
from the north station. This water
will be analized at once, and if found
up to the standard, we will continue
it's use. AS for the south we'll, it
always mas been, and will continue
to be a cesspool. 1t will probably
be up to the citizens TO put in a
sewage system this year, or dig a
new well; both would be preferable.

Another Jail Delivery Attempted.

Another Jail Delivery Attempted.
Another Jail delivery was nippcd
in the budding early yeste day morn
ing by the timely arrival of Night
watch Coleburn on the scene. 1t
was about a. m, when in his
rounds through the court yard the
marshal detected the sound of what
he surmised was a saw at work on
the iron bars of the jail. When he
neared the Jail the noise ceased. He
at once got Sheriff Clark out of bed,
and together they made an investi-
CATION. 1t was discovered that the
fellow had been at work on the
west window, and had one bar sawed
Just off at the bottom and was half
way through at the top. At the
rate he was going it is likely that the
