The city commissioners have been
busy all day figuring on the probable
cost of the Hannah creek mountain
water system. A gentleman appeared
before them this morning and I'd
vanced the proposition of taking wa

but il met with little favor as it
would be hard to see wherein it could
be built for even the sum which must
be expended to build the former sys-
TEN. The distance would be at the
least ten miles greater and the land
which 1t covers is considered to be
more valuable than the hannah creek

given but little encouragement

any decisive steps are taken the COM

alternatives.

to keep off and pushed him back.
Time was flying fast, and Siler could
not get the glove united to pull it on

pense. He lodged around Siler and
jumped at me. l waved my hand at
him and then. seeing that he wouldn't
stop, jabbed him away. And then the
bell rang. Tom took one more swing
at me after the bell for good measure
and walked to his corner. Siler gave
me the decision. 1t was very close

aggressively all the way. but many Of
his swings were wild, while my blows

training. Ten weeks before our fight
he sent for Gus Rubin. and during
this last ten weeks of training he and
Gus fought every day just as hard as
