CITY HISTORY TALE
 REVIVED BY MR. 0RME

The skin was taken off the concrete basin of the fountain that stands in the midst of the main approach to the courthouse. That basin now looks more like a giants bathtub than ever Some have questioned whether there will be enough artesian water to fill. But no fear need be felt on that score, for the flow of the well is daily getting stronger.
 Every day some old timer remembers something new about that old well. Henry C. Orme, who was in the city yesterday. had a version of it little different from any previously related, and no doubt it is the correct one. for Mir. Orme was in a position to know what was taking place. He saw the operations about the well for the three months that Joe Drew was sinking it.
 That was in 1884 and the courthouse was then in process of construction Lindley Orme was sheriff and Mir. Orme was undersheriff The business of the county was then conducted in several adobe buildings near the cor ner of Center and Washington streets.
 Drew had made an arrangement with the board of supervisors to go after artesian water He was to sink well 2,oUu rect TOT sz.oVO. IHe ilfSl Wei' was started a little west of the present one ar,l it was sunk to a depth of 800 feet. One day the drilling apparatus was taken out of the pipe and the workmen went to dinner. In their ab- sence some one. supposedly some boy, dropped a chunk of iron into the pipe. and that was the end of the drilling there The present well was started and was sunk 750 feet when the enter prise was abandoned. Drew, however, received the money.
 Speaking of the business of the county those days, the sheriff was then assessor and tax collector. The as- sessed valuation of the county then was less than a million dollars.

FIRE SALE PROVES

The fire sale which started yesterday morning at Smith Hughes company, o06 North Central, is proving an eXcep- tional sales event of the season. The stock which consists of automobile ac- cessories and tires was damaged by a fire of considerable magnitude about a week ago. very quick loss adjustment was made by the insurance companies carrying the risks, and now the stock is being sold just as it is to provide room for new and bigger stock which has already been purchased and shipped.
 Inasmuch as a goodly portion of the stock is of metal, and the fire was cX- tinguished before any great degree Of heat was experienced. most of the ar ticles are little damaged except as tC appearance by the smoke and water The sale will be conducted until the stock has all been sold

Everything is set tonight for the initial combat. Each team is supreme ly confident of eventual triumph and the players are in perfect physical con- dtion.
 National Champs Practice
 Manager Mitchell of the National League champions, put his players through an hour of batting drill at Comiskey Park this afternoon and tapered off the final practice with a spirited fielding workout. The play CTS limbered up in dashing form and Mitchell left the field satisfied.
 The Red Sox reached Chicago from the East too late to engage in practice, and Manager Barrow sent them to bed early. The American League pennant winners are quartered at hotel with in a short distance from the park and may take a brief workout to loosen up their muscles tomorrow morning. Will Start Left Hander
 While neither of the rival leaders would pick for publication the pitcher selected for the test of the opening game, the Chicago pilot said he eX- pected to start a left hander-eithel Vaughn or Tyler.

WHAT EXPORTER MUST KNOW

A needle factory had sent to Aleppo, Turkey. needles that were tied up with green twine. The Mahometan mer- chant who had ordered them returned the package, for the reason that the use of the green, the color consecrated to the Prophet, for such a purpose was a derision of religion. Another con- signment of the same factory to China wrapped up in white paper was re- turned because the Chinese recipient would not accept goods packed in pa per of mourning White is the mourn ing color of the Chinese.
