PIPE DROPPED
OUT OF Sight
ENTIRE CASING FELL INTO WELL
AND NOTHING is LEFT
BUT BIG HOLE.

Sheldon, N. d, May 31.-Vith the
exception Of about eighty feet which
had been hoisted, the rest Of the ar
tesian wells standpipe has sank from
sight, and with its sinking has had
a tendency to retard the wells flow.
Four large jackscrews were used in
the raising process but only a few
feet of pipe could be secured, the rest
being pulled apart a few feet below
the surface. Street Commissioner Nc
Gully has been making a careful study
Of the situation the last few weeks
and believes he has a scheme that will,
If worked out properly, eventually
stop the flow. He was of the opinion
that 1t would be necessary to get rid
Of the pipe before much could be ac-
complished, and with a force of men
this week he has completed the first
step.
The water flows out with very little
pressure now, but still continues to
bring up quite a large amount of sand.
1t is the general belief that the hole
can be filled with coarse gravel which
viii act as a filter for the water and
will in time succeed in stopping the
flow altogether.
The work will begin within a few
days, or just as oon as a sufficient
amount of material is on the site to
warrant its undertaking.

ANGRY FISH BITES ANGLER
Brooklyn Man, the Sufferer, Sends
Head to Pasteur Institute, Fear
ing Rabies.

Whether a fish can have hydro
phobia is question that Fred
Henry of Hancock street, Brooklyn,
would like to have settled, and for
that reason he has sent to the Pas
teur institute in New York the head
of a pickerel that bit him at Swarts-
wood lake recently, says Newton IN.
j. correspondent of the New York
Press. Henry was fishing in boat
that was a trifle leaky and he took off
his shoes and socks His first catch
was a pickereI weighing three pounds
When he yanked the fish 1t Topped
around in the bottom Of the boat in
a lively fashion.
AS Henry was batting up again he
felt a sharp pain in one of his feet,
and, looking down, saw that the pick
erel had made a jump and fastened
its teeth in his toe. He tried to kick
the fish away, but the pickerel held
on and Henry had to use the handle
of his landing net to pry open the
f1sh's jaws before he got free of it.
The toe started to swell where the
teeth had punctured it, and Henry be-
came worried. He says he thinks it
possible that the pickerel may have
had hydrophobia and, as precaution-
airy measure, he sent the head to the
Pasteur institute.

West No Place for consumptives

West No Place for ConsumptiVes.
Physicians in all of the eastern
states will be asked by the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis to stop send
ing cOnsumptiyes in the last stages Of
tuberculosis and without sufficient
funds to the southwestern part of the
United States in search Of health.
While it is impossible to tell accu-
rately how many consumptiYes there
are at present living in the states of
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, south
eTn California, and western Texas, it
is probable that no less than ten per
cent Of the 100000 people in this
territory have tuberculosis themselves,
or have come to the west because
some members Of their family have
had it. Every year, the health authori-
ties estimate, not less than 10000
consumDtiVes, hopelessly diseased,
come west to die. For these cases,
the climate of this section of the coun-
try can do nothing, and they are COM
PEELED to die in strange surroundings
and thousands Of miles from home
an6 friends. The National AssOcia-
ton points out further that from so
to go per cent. of these advanced
cases are too poor to provide the
proper necessaries of life, and they
are either starved to death, or COM
PEELED to accept the meager charity
which this part Of the country af-
fOrds.
