To provide an additional and larger
supply OF water and to prevent a pos
s!Oie shortage at time of emergency,
the city council expects not only TO
sink more wells in the water. held but
probably Will buy additional machin-
cry for pumping. Councilman John l.
Bell and J. J. Wilson are now in Chi
caso and Milwaukee investigating
machinery needed and getting prices on
equipment.
Pipe for connecting the three wells
the city will sink has been ordered and
the wells will be put down as soon as
the contractor engaged can do the
work. The need for additional mach
inery is 10 furnish not only u larger
supply but to safeguard the water sys
tenn against break down Of older
machinery at the pumping station.
Wells Will Be Deep.
The wells are to be sunk pdaCtic-
ally OF the same depth as the last wells
put down under the direction Of COun
Gilman Bell two years ago. They will
penetrate thru the gravel, blue clfy
and INTO a deeper gravel stratum TO a
depth Of l29 TO 100 feet. Immediately
upon being completed they viii be
connected either with the large main
that carries the water from the other
wells TO the reservoir, or will be join
ed up with an Independent siX-inch line
that has not been used for many years.
Fear Machinery Break Down. d.
II is councilman Bells belief that
an auxiliary, low pressure pump, OPP
Grated probably by electrical power
ought TO be placed in the water field

RESERVOIR. Councilman Bell points out
that the low pressure pumps in the
well pit At the pumping station, that
are now drawing the water from the
wells 10 the reservoir. might break
down in an emergency like a big fire.
If such q misfortune should happen
the water available would be only what
the reservoir contained. 1t IS argued
that an independent low pressure pump
IN the field would prevent this and
would at the same time increase the
water supply. the consumption Of
which Is increasing rapidly, If the new
wells were connected with the reser-
vo!r by an auxiliary supply line.
Daily Consumption Large.
The average daily consumption of
water in the city is now about 2.50O 900

John c. Costello, well known and

killed, and Robert j. Johnson, col
ored laborer, was badly. but not IA
tally, crushed when the automobile
in which they were riding jumped
off the Seventh street bridge across
Bloody run at 5 o'clock last even

The bridge has slight angle near
It's middle and where it is highest

crashed through the railing at the
side and went over and down the
dizzy depth, a distance of forty-eight
feet
1t landed on its rear end and was
crushed into a mass Of junk. How
both men escaped instant death is
the remarkable thing about the acct

Were on the Way Home.
Costello and Johnson had been
down at the tracks loading some
horses for James Cameron's Sons,
contractors, by whom they have been
employed for a long time.
They started home to supper and
came upon the bridge from the West
Keokuk end. 1t happened to be at
the angle that the automobile turned
into the bridge railing, went on
through it, and jumped to the creek
bed below.
Exactly what caused it to do this
probably never will be known. The
angle in the bridge is too slight to
make it have the effect Of a turn.
The floor of the bridge is very rough,
and it may he that the car hit pro.
jecting plank and jumped out of the
control of the man at the wheel. 1t
may be that the steering gear broke,
leaving it unmanageable. If the
radius rod bent and caught rod OF
the steering gear, the car would be
turned sharply. The fact that the
side railing and an eight-inch timber
offered little obstruction to the auto
mobile indicates that it was going
fast. as otherwise it could have been
stopped before it took the fatal
plunge.

A trial is now ON in the county
court before Judge Warren II. Orr

as to the appointment of a conser-

SO years and has heretofore person
ally controlled his lands, of which
| he has a large acreage, and also his
personal property, and, inasmuch as
a discussion has arisen as between
the tenants on the various farms, an
attempt is being made for the APP
pointment of conservator. The
trial is being held in the circuit

had heard the testimony of wit

place Mr. Groves himself upon the
