PREPARE TO GUARD
WINTER WATER FLOW
Waterworks Department Has Grow Of
Men Cleaning Rubbish Out Of
Parley's Creek Bed,

An inspection of the work being done
by the city in Parley's canyon to clear
the stream from impediments likely to
aid the cold in retarding the flow of
the water during the winter months
was made yesterday by A. F. Cum
mings, supervisor OF watersheds, and a
party OF newspaper men.
The gang OF men at work in Parley IS
has cleared the stream from a point
near Young's ranch down to within
several miles of the intake, and before
the winter begins in earnest it is ex-
pected the job will be completed.
The Improvement is readily notice
able. Bushes and small trees growing
in profusion along the banks have been
cut down and hauled far enough away
TO prevent high water from washing
them into the channel. This has cleared
the channel remarkably. leaving an
open water course. Big rocks, too, have
been removed, sharp turns eliminated
and slow moving eddies abolished, with
the general result that the water flows
faster and more freely
Fishermen will find the improvement
to their advantage, as it makes the
stream more accessible and more
ca silly iSbed with ny.

AUTO RUNS DOWN
CARRIER ON WHEEL
Car in Hands of an inexperienced
Driver Is Cause Of Near
Disaster.

A. D. Nadel. city mail carrier, was
knocked down and painfully bruised
early yesterday afternoon, when the
rear wheel Of the bicycle on which he
was riding was struck by an automo.
bile. Nadel was just emerging from
Postoffice place with sack full Of
mail when the machine, evidently in
the hands Of novice, veered suddenly
and struck the wheel. The chauffeur
seemed frightened, for as he struck the
bicycle, he turned suddenly to the op-
posite side of the street and did not
stop until he bumped into an automo-
bile.
Patrolman H. A. Olsen saw the acci-
dent, and held the chauffeur until it
was made clear that Nadel was not Sc
riously injured and that tho automo-
bile was not damaged. He then ad.
monished him to learn how to manipu-
late the machine before getting onto
Main street again, and allowed him to
depnrt.

SPECTACULAR AFFAIR
Mrs. C. T. Berry Is Charged With
Firing Two Revolver Shots at
Neighbor

4 neighborhood quarrel that began
over the water hydrant of a double
house at $50 West Second North street
eliminated late yesterday afternoon in
a shooting affray that startled the resi-
dents OF the locality and resulted in
the arrest Of Mrs. G. It, Berry On a
charge OF assault with q deadly weapon.
According to the information secured
by the policemen who were called to
the place. Mrs, Berry, who lives in one.
half of the house, fired two shots with
a revolver at Mrs. Mary J. Farmer. her
immediate neighbor. Mrs Farmer was
standing on the front porch with a
baby IN her arms when Mrs Berry is
said to have fired two shots in her di
rectjoD.
In answer to an alarm sent TO police
headquarters. Patrolmen Vance and
Lnnd and Chauffeur George Moore
vent to the divided house, and after
making an investigation, arrested Mrs.
Berry. The trouble, according to the
policemen, appears TO have grown out
of q disagreement as to whether the
hydrant should be left running in the
back yard and seems to have begun
with the children.
