Quarter Million in improvements

Two hundred and seventy-fiVe
thousand dollars in improvements,

Pullman during the past three years.
Dr.. a. E. Shaw, who served as mayor

has outlined the improvements made
during that period of time. His re-

Pullman is without a doubt the peer

ARREST OF Gypsy
MAY CLEAR MYSTERY
Gypsy Woman Arrested at Shoshone,
Idaho, May BE One Who Filched
$1,000 From Mrs. Anna Booth
Through HypnOtism

Last Saturday a Gypsy woman was
arrested at Shoshone, Idaho, who is
said to answer the description given
by Mrs. Anna Booth of the dark
skinned woman who in 1911,
through her hypnotic influence,
filched some $1,000 from the ex-
chequer of the Pullman lady. The
arrest was made at the request of
j, f. Baymiller, city marshal here at
the time of the mysterious case, and
the woman was taken in charge by
the sheriff's office at Colfax.
The case attracted wide attention
because of its peculiar and myster-
ious nature, when the facts were
made known by Mrs. Booth early in
January of 1912, and all efforts to
locate the criminal at that time were
futile. Mrs. Booth was first visited
by the roaming Gypsy woman on
August Z, 1911, and claims at once
to have been cast into a hypnotic

every demand of the Gypsy. Before
leaving the house the woman had
secured something over 5000 in cash
which Mrs. Booth had in the house,
and on later occasions she handed
over sums of 5000 and $3.50 on the
demand of the Gypsy. On New Years
day of 1912 Mrs. Booth came out
from under the wonderful hypnotic
influence as mysteriously and as
quickly as she had become the toy
of the woman and for the first time
realized what she had done. She at
once related the strange story in
every detail to her brother, d. NJ.
Haynes, and furnished a description
of the woman to Marshal Baymiller
and to the sheriff's office.

feet, the bore being 10 inches, and
from that well the purest of artesian
water gushed at the rate of over
2400 gallons per minute, one OF the
strongest flowing wells in the world,
man in that respect for many years
to come. A pump was installed at
the we'll with a capacity of 500 gal
Ions per minute. You will note that
the flow OF water is sufficient for
three pumps of that capacity An
other pump of 800 gallons capacity
was installed at the elevated tank,
and motors of 100 horsepower and
80 horsepower capacity were in
stalled for driving the two pumps.
The installation of the elevated tank

the city a reservoir capacity of 466,

The pumping of the same amount Of
water under the old system would
have required over 30 hours, and
saving of approximately 80 l-3 per
cent in power each month is possible
under the new system.
During the three years there was

total of 60,15O feet of water mains
installed. Seventeen new hydrants

of the city and 700 water meters
have been installed. The new eleyat-

chief work The care OF families in

suffering through want of the me-
cesslties oil life. But at times chill

is not able to care for her home.
narrowing tales are brought to the
association about families at the very
point of starvation. Investigation
has shown that possibly children
need shoes or the groceries are run
ming low Only in one case, where
the father and mother were both SER
iously i'll, has the home seemed to be
IN danger--and willing hands were
ready when the circumstances were
known. Quite often a family needs
assistance, but the assistance needed
is personal service and friendship
rather than money.
The Social Welfare association is
composed of one representative from
every lodge, and social organization.

all the physicians and ministers, and
