rangements, Captain Sullivan and Of
ficer Treacy were made aware of the
fact that there was something doing.
But Treacy Was There.
Follett, after the carriage had driv-
en- to the side door of the hotel,
emerged from the front and started
down the street. But he didn't 60 far.
The officer was at his heels and once
again Follett found himself in the
police station.
Things had reached the serious
stage now; and Follett, calling Phil
Barney by telephone, gained his con-
sent to an arrangement whereby $25
In cash should be deposited with Cap
tain Sullivan as guarantee that the
pup would be returned, such portion
of the cash as was not used in paying
expenses to be returned to Follett.
The Pup Intercepted.
With this situation created, new
developments came. Follett tele-
graphed to Willmar, Mimi, to have
the express conference.-the pup
intercepted and addressed back to
Grand Forks, and the probabilities are
that the little English bull TERROR, the
cause of all the trouble, will be here
again tonight.
And so endeth the tale of the pup.

T0O|SCUSS WATER PROBLEM


There will be a meeting tonight at
the Commercial club rooms of the
members of the city council and busi-
ness men to discuss the water situa-
tion. The water in the river is now
quite low and although the supply
is perfectly healthy after passing
through the filter, there is donger of
the water running short. Superin-
tendent John Lunseth started force
of men at work this afternoon to
construct a dam in the Red Lake riv-
er to raise the water about foot.
If 1t is necessary, the dam can be
raised later but at present "a foot in
crease will prove sufficient.
One Of the projects to be discuss
ed tonight will be securing aid from
the federal government in the con-
struction Of "a permanent dam with
locks. On account of the Red river
being navigable. the dams construct
ed by the city have to be destroyed
when navigation starts. If permanent
locks were constructed it would per-
nit the passage of boats and at the
same time insure AN adequate water
supply at all seasons, of the, year.
