Owing to an inadequate water
supply" said Col. Button. the town
authorities have been compelled at
intervals to shut of the supply. thus
causing vacuum in the water pipes
This condition made II practically
easy for sepage from the sewer pipes
to find its way into the water mains
aud to furnish a source of infection
fer typhoid. The town evidently has
an abundance supply OF water in the
mountains, and ii has already taken
steps with a view OF doing away with
the necessity OF shutting off the pipes
every once in while.
SO far as We could see. there 10 no

sheds being amply protected. Within
the psst week new pump has been

Mr.. Tailey Was a sufferer from

this was primarily the cause OF his
death In fact, DR.. J. Fuimer Bright
acting coroner. on viewing the re-
mains. gave 1t as mis- opinion that
heart trouble was responsible for his
death.
When the body was found the iirt
in the stove had evidently been out
for some hours. Some Of the COAX
were lying around on the floor, and
but for the fact that the floor was
built of concrete. II is likely that the
house would have been destroyed.
