tertained several hundred people in
front of the city hall yesterday fore
noon as she fought for hours with the
bubbling geyser of water that spurted
straight up from break in the pave

A broken water main released great
volumes OF water which came out like

The dog gave a, growl and snarl

Again and again she leaped into II

squarely into the hole with her fore
feet, but the force of the water
threw her up so that it was impos-

one of the most playful dogs in the

CELIA ADAMS DIES
BY HER OWN HAND
Police Assert Woman Because
of Whom Doctor Shot An

FATHER DEFENDS HER

Boston, July 20.-A new element OF
mystery in connection with the in
vestigation of the shooting of DR..
Harris, president Of the Massachusetts
College of Osteopathy, by DR.. FL
dridg D. Atwood, one Of his former
students, developed tonight as re-
suit of the autopsy on the body of Dr.
Atwood's fiancee, DR.. Celia Paine
Adams, who died of poisoning short
time before the attack on DR.. Harris.
DR.. Atwood declared he shot DR..
Harris because Miss Adams told him
DR.. Harris had wronged her.
Theory Of Suicide.
The police bulletin issued last night
declared the young woman died from
narcotic poison self administered,
and it was believed she had ended her
life in a fit of dependency after the
supposed interview with DR.. Atwood
in which the latter, according to his
story to the police, learned OF her
alleged relations with DR.. Harris.
Both DR.. Harris and Francis P.
Adams, father of Miss Adams, have
denied the charge of DR.. Atwood re-
garding the motive for the shooting.
THE relations between my daugh-
ter and DR.. Harris were proper in
every respect" said Mr.. Adams to-
night. az believe the real reason was
that Atwood thought DR.. Harris was
interfering with his plans for marry

Continuing her investigations she dis

in a million, she had found Patterns
cabin and the book. Slowly she
turned the leaves, carefully scanning

Disheartened, she was about to close

Water Main Breaks
And Sends a Flood
Down Farnam Street

A break at the junction of an
eighteen-inch and twenty-four-inch
supply water main at Eighteenth and
Farnam streets caused a food Of
water along the north curb Of Far
nam street. A crew OF water depart
ment men shut off eighteen valves
before the leak was stopped.
As if the irony Of fate had some
thing to do with the case, the break
occurred beneath the office window
of General Manager Howell Of the
water plant during his absence from
the city. For a while it seemed that
the prize welcome arch was threat
ened, but it is believed the arch will
survive.
The broken main will not effect the
service pipes, which were connected
to duplicated mains.
This main was laid twenty-five
years ago. An examination OF the
broken pipe will be made to deter
mine whether electrolysis caused the
leak. Many thousands Of gallons Of
water we're wasted.
