WATER SUPPLY is LOW.
Waste During Night Greater Than Flow
into Reservoir

Bennington. March 5.-The Bennington
Water company management is consider
ably worried over the situation at the
reservoir at the present time. During
the severe weather that continues to
prevail. the patrons of the company have
persisted in allowing their faucets to
remain open during the night, the result
being a condition that has some serious
features.
The supply Of water in the reservoir is
on the decrease every day. There is
water enough coming in TO supply all
actual demands but there is not flow
enough to keep up with the drain that
prevails during the night.
Unless the users of water close their
faucets during the night and permit the
reservoir to fill, so that there shall be
sufficient supply on hand for fire pro-
lection purposes, it may be necessary for
the company to shut down the service
entirely during the night.
With the mills shut down over Sun
day, the reservoir showed an increase of
but two inches over the figures of Sat
urday. With the faucets closed through
out the village during Saturday and Sun
day nights, there should have been more
than two feet of additional water in
the reservoir yesterday morning,

to Colonel Roosevelt's campaign.

W0MAN'S BODY
FROZEN IN THE ICE
Mrs. Hannah Crandall Mulligan of Dor
set Probably Died Of Heart
Trouble.

Bennington. March 5.-Frozen face
downward in the ice few feet from
the rear door of her home, one mile and
half from Dorset village, the body of
Mrs. Hannah Crandall Mullgau, wild
ow, so years old, who lived alone, was
found Sunday afternoon The dress
which she wore had become firmly inn
bedded in the ice, and the body waS
enveloped in light mantle of snow
when found. Tracks leading to the
chicken house are believed to indicate
that she had fed her poultry and was
about to return to the house when she
succumbed. Her death was the result OF
heart failure.
II is not known how long the body had
lain exposed to the winds and snow, but
when discovered it bore evidence that
life had been extinct for several hours.
The death was discovered by a neighbor-
ing farmer. who had gone to inform Mrs.
Mulligan that her daughter, Miss Mae
Mulligan, New York actress. would re-
turn home for short visit to-day.
Mrs Mulligan had anxiously awaited
the return of her daughter. and was
planning to give a small party to several
friends in honor Of her return.
During the absence of her daughter,
Mrs MulIigan lived alone. so far as hui
man beings were concerned, and her sole
had been a large black cat,
which she valued highly. At the time
OF her death the cat was found shut
up in the kitchen. 1t was apparent that
its hunger had not been appeased for
several hours, and this was taken to
indicate that Mrs. Mullgan died Satur-
day afternoon or early Saturday even.
