where on the street with him and a
few other young persons OF his own

WAITING ARRIVAL OF

viii Soon Open Valves at New
East End Pumping Station
Big Contracts Completed
This Season.

Everything is now in readiness at
Mishawaka's new east end pumping
station for opening Of the valves
which will food the city water mains
with pure fresh artesian well water.
City officials Friday morning we're
adxiously awaiting the arrival of the
expert testing engineer from the Platt
Iron works branch Office at Chicago.
who will thoroughly inspect the
pumping engines before turning on
the water. AS the equipment in
stalled by the Plat Iron company has
not been accepted as yet by the board
Of public works, City Water Superin-
tendent E. F. Crabill, who has been
supervising the construction Of the
plant will not attempt any testing
before being accepted. After the
pumping engine has been thoroughly
tested and accepted by both the board
Of public works and the common
council the city water mains will be
flushed and cleaned before residents
will be asked TO use the water do
nestle purposes.
The new plant is fast nearing com
pletion and will be entirely completed
before heavy winter weather sets in.
Active construction was not started
until this spring in building the plant
and installing the equipment al
though the water mains were laid
last summer. and men who are in
charge and city officials are we'll sat
isfied with the progress made by the
various contractors on the Job. There
were several big contracts connected
with work completed this summer.
Among them being the most danger
Gus and difficult was the connecting
of the six wells to a single main
laid ina ditch over % feet in depth.
This work was extremely dangerous
to men working ct the bottom of the
ditch as the earth at this point is of
loose sand and gravel of a shifting
nature. Much time was spent on this
contract as many thousands OF feet
of timber were used in safeguarding
the men. Other big contracts were
the installing of the boilers and
heaters in the building of the plant
proper, the construction of the big
smoke stack and the completing Of
the installing of the pumping engine.
Floors have yet to be placed in the
building and the outside surroundings
made attractive. A stairway is now
under construction by Contractor
Rosewarne near the well connections.

Either MiSiudged Distance

fering from a broken shoulder, two
broken ribs and other serious injuries
as the result Of a plunge from a par
achute at the Lakeville fair early Fri
day morning In addition TO the
broken bones In his upper body Atkins
is paralyzed in both legs and his hips.
Several hundred people witnessed
the headlong flight of young Atkins
when he lost his hold on the bars Of
his parachute. He had assembled a
height OF over a thousand feet when
he cut loose from the balloon. He
made pretty descent and all seemed
safe until within about fifty feet from
the ground. Then he either misjudg-
ed the distance or lost his hold by
accident and hurtled TO the ground
He covered the fifty feet of space be-
tween his parachute and the ground
in the fash OF an eye and struck the
ground with terrific force. A great
hole was plOwed in the earth where
he fell.
The crowd gasped for a moment;
no one moved TO the mans rescue.
Then his partner rushed out shook
him a few times and then laconically
announced. Il guess he is dead"
A physician was hurriedly sum-
moned and the man examined. His
heart was found still beating and in
hopes that his life might be saved he
was rushed to South Bend. The hos
pital authorities say the man has a
chance for recovery. 1t is thought
the shock of the fall may have caused
some serious internal injuries. An
X-Ray examination is being made to
juries.
Atkins is only 20 years of age. He
was employed by the fair association
to make a balloon ascension in con-
nection with the regular program Of
the fair. His home is at Vincennes.

also being considered.
