MEXICAN BADLY GUT
 AT MIAMI
Although Jugular Vein Slit For an Inch, He Will
 Likely Recover

In fight at Miami, Monday night an unknown Mexican was stabbed in the neck, the jugular vein being slit fol nearly an inch. Although the injured man s life was thought to be in danger for time, owing to the constant loss of blood, medical aid was secured in time to prevent his death.
 Pablo Romo is said to have been the assailant of the injured man. After the cutting affray, Romo went to his home where he was found afterwards by the officers. A number of Mexicans claimed that the wrong man had been secured and he was turned loose. He lost no time in getting under cover and, although a search was made for him he had not been found last night.
 Although weak from loss of blood, the wounded man was in fairly good eondi. tion yesterday and he will probably suffer no serious effects from the wound.

NEW SINKING PUMP ID TEST STRIKE
 AT CITY WELL
Machine Secured From Old Dominion Mine and Put
 Into Commission

4 new sinking pump, with capacity of 750 gallons per minute, was install ed in the east well at the city pumping plant yesterday and within a short time the flow of water in this well, which is known to be at least 250 gallons per minute, will be definitely determined
 The new pump, which was secured from the old Dominion company, was put in place yesterday afternoon. A defective gasket blew out on the first trial of the pump and it was not thought that active pumping would begin un- til early this morning.
 The we'll contains about twenty feet of water at the present time and it will take several days to pump out the well and make preparations for fur ther sinking.
 The new flow of water was struck more than a week ago. A pump with capacity of 250 gallons of water per minute, which was working at the time the strike was made, could not make headway against the flow and as re suit it was necessary to install a larg- CT pump in order that the work of sink ing might continue.
 The new flow of water was struck in ouicksand bed and it is believed that the stream will increase as the well is deepened. Three shifts day are being worked on the we'll to which an extra compartment has been added, for the installation of the new pump. It is believed by Superintendent Bert Lewis and the members of the public utility committee as well, that the new strike will supply enough water to meet the demands of the city for the next several years.
