Injury To City
Intake Pipe
LEAVES THE CITIZENS WITHOUT WATER
Broken Pipe Lets Water ESCape--Empty Reservoir
Gives The First Notice

The city was without water a short
time Christmas day. Il Is the Gus
tom of the water commissioner. J ohm
MartinedIs, to visit the reservoir each
morning at about SIX O'Clock to see
that every thing is all right. When
he visited It Wednesday morning he
found the reservoir practically empty
and no water coming in. He started
at once mp the pipe line to try aud
discover the trouble.
He had nearly reached the intake
at Thorn creek before he discovered
the trouble. AS he approached he saw
a stream of water squirting high In
the air He shut the water oft from
the pipe aud made au examination
and found that the vail of the air
cham ber had been broken through.
The bresk looked as though It had
been the work OF some one aud it is
his opinion that it was made by some
party with the deliberate intention of
putting the entire city water plant
out OF com ullbeluu.
It is impossible to see what posi-
bic object any one could have In de.
liberately wreokinR the iutnke main
aud thus shutting off the water sop
ply of the city.
1t certainly could not have been
any resident of the ciy unless 1t was
some thouehtless boys, who did moi
realize what they we're doing until
the damage had been done aud 1t Il
hard to conceive of any one eiss hav-
ing a sufficient Rrudge against tha
city to pnrposely cut off the water
supply.
Il mas been suggested that It nigh
have been the work of some one Tho
had felt the strong arm of the city
police aud held erudge aud took
this means of working It out.
The actual damage was not seriou
and Mr. Martinedls soon had 1t repai
ed and the water running as usual.
Although fortunately the city
suffered no damage. except the small
expense for repairs,i it Is easy 20 con
oeive how the shutting off of tn
water might have resulted in grea
damage sto property.
If fre had broken out. with n
wafer to tie had, the loss to propert
could have easily ruu up into thou
ands of dollars and the people ca
congratulate themselves on ia luck
escape from what might easily hav
been q serious loss.

Doctor Gets
Two Bear

CaptaIur-EIi Laird tells a pretty
good story of bis hunting trip of last
week.
The party consisted Of himself,
VIII Warren and New York doctor
and was arranged entirely On the
doctor's account and to give him a
good time.
The doctor was a genuine tender
foot and had never even seen a wild
beast as large as a rabbit before.
But he was ell to the good as lac after

ors of the trip.
They weIe hunting tn back of the
MeGolderick place one day when
they saw a hole under . pile of brush
and logs. They began poklnR around
with a stick when they heard a
couple of snorts and big bear ,came
rushing out.
The hunters of the party yelled :,
Bear lFear iRun' and took for the tall
timber with the bear, or rather two OF
them, Tor the old bear WAS followed by
a cub twU-thirds grown, after them,
All ran and ran we'll except th'
tenderfoot dooi or, who stood still, cal
mly brought his rifle Up and put twS
bullets into the huge carcass of thI
bear bringing her down.

To Condemn
FOR RIGHT OF WAY
Settlers Want County 4 But Do
Not Like Location

Deputy Sheriff Archie NoRRle WAS up
from Occur d'Alene Monday serving
papers 10 condemnation suits ior
right Of WAY for a county road along
the 70 - nn the opposite side OF
the river b. the city.
Among those who object to the
location Of the road, along the hill
side and refused to give the county
the right Of way are ;Clarence Butler,
Fred Haas, Virgil Strioker aud others.
All OF these are anxious to have a
county road built but they object to
the proposed location of It. Instead
Of having It along the side hill they
wish it to run along the river bank
frse,.l little above Butler Bay to the
co dpe, connecting with the st
Joe roa Il the bridge Instead of the
other sidA ot the lair ground as In
the proposed roao. They objected to
the road laid out by the county sur
vyor beonse It will nearly double the
distance that they will have to travel
Ia coming 10 this city and because of
the expense In building it and be
cause as they say 1t Is practically i'm.
possible to make as good a road as
the riverside road would be. They
say that 10 order to get a good road
on the proposed route there would
have to be a great deal of rock work
done, while the river road would be a
water gIade and would need but little
work to make It good.
There are some half dozen Of these
cses, nearly all through whom the pro
posed road will pass obiecting.
These cases are set for trial IN the
district court January 20, and, az

outside.
Not only are the people through
whose land the proposed road vii
pass nbiecting, but large number o
the settlers down tie river, and Their
promises to be a lively fight, whei
the cases come to trial.
The objection of the down river set
tiers Is to the extra distance whic
they will have to travel, as they Ia
that IN coming to the city, they vii
have to 60 by the town until the

back nearly Two miles on that roa
In order to reach the bridge wher
