Notice to Water Consumers.

All persons are cautioned against
the use of city water without first boil
ing it. Hotels and restaurants should
boil the water before dsbursing it to
their patrons.
I anticipate no trouble from the river
water that has been turned in, yet as
an act of prudence boil the water. Some
of our citizens are of the opinion that
the soldiers home sewer outlet is
above the dam. The outlet is about 400
feet below the dam. The well points
are being drawn and cleaned. Those
thus treated are predicting satisfactor-
lily SO that in a short time neces-
sary supply will be obtained, thus
avoiding the unnecessary scare about
river water. ,,s,--~zs..s-,
We regret exceedingly the present
condition and the best means avail
able are being used to correct the same
with satisfactory results. Co-opera-
ton Of the citizens in careful use OF
water and avoidance of fires will
greatly aid in the reduction Of water
consumption. I. S. Millard,s Mayor.

CONEY AFTER O'KEEFE
Former Obtains Warrant Charging
Latter Defrauded Him.

Patrick Coney obtained a warrant
in the court of Topeka today for the
arrest of Daniel O'Keefe, charging
that O'Keefe defrauded him and Mrs.
Coney by inducing them to sign
note for 81, 900 which the Conveys were
forced to pay.
Mr. Coney charges that O'Keefe
represented that he was going to es-
tablish a laboratory and curative SAN
:tary department at the Throop hotel
and that he needed $1,000 to put the
deal over.
With that understanding. says Mr..
Coney. he and Mrs. Coney signed their
names as security on a note given by
O'Keefe to the Merchants National
placed in the bank to O'Keefe's credit.
The laboratory was not established.
O'Keefe made no effort towards estab-
fishing it.
Later, Coney says, he discovered
that OKeefe went to the bank and
drew out on his own account $46f
and left town. Since then he has not
heard from him. There was still
more than $500 in the bank in
O'Keefes name and Coney attached
that.
The original note was for three
months ard when the ninety days roll
ed around and O'Keefe did not put
in an appearance Mr.. and Mrs. Coney
were forced to pay the whole amount
The complaint alleges that they have
been defrauded out of the $3.50 and
asks that the officers apprehend
O'Keefe. A warrant was placed in
the hands of Hugh Larimer, sheriff,
today.
