Mrs. Mary r. Daniels, widow OF

a slender living She has always
been a great fayorite among the mar
ket fox for her friendly ways She
often accommodated the shoppers by
allowing them to leave heavy baskets
under her tables while they went the
rounds Of the market.
Before the new market law went
into effect. Mrs. Daniels made inquir-
les concerning her right to have this
stand. She said she was. told IL
cense was not necessary as she rented
rooms in the building beh nd. She said
the Clerk OF the Market gave her
verbal permission 70 be where she was,
although she had no written permit
Theefore, the widow was surprised
this morning when a police sergeant
and two patrolmen ordered her back OF
the build ng line. They made her
nuuUAE
her stand into the narrow vestihule OF
her home. The number OF police alone
it took three OF them-was enough
to frighten the woman, and she burst
into tears.
The news Of the happening went VI
and down King street like a fash. an'
large crowd of sympathiEers gatheres
: and began TO plead the widows cause
The police had for answer that II wa
a violation of the law aud because the,
had recently been criticised for no

of ten-inch casing, which was unlosded

At the Duffy test a second water
we'll is now going down. The Difficult
ty is said to be due to fine sand which
ohokes the flow of water. 1t is now
feared at the Walsh Dugan test that
water shortage will also be experienced
unless rain falls in the near future.
Operations are dependent upon water
from Lyon creek, east Of the well,
which ordinarily flows until August OF
each year. Scant rainfall this year
has made the supply low despite the
