"BOSSY". TAKES A BATH
IN CITY RESERVOIR

Daddy, Bossy's takin a BATH"
were the startling words delivered
by Robert. the small son of John H.
Russell of 1912 Main street, as he
burst breathless into the room of his
home. Investigation revealed that
Bossy was indeed taking bath.
The reservoir supplying the city
with water is situated upon one Of
the hills southeast of town. 1t is
surrounded by a dilapidated board
fence with the boards down in many
places. 1t is supposed that the COW
gained admission through one OF
these openings and wandered out on
the covering of the reservoir, which.
being decayed, caused her to fall in
the water.
Bossy owes her life to the habit or
small boys of the neighborhood
watching the minnows in the reser>
voir. That afternoon Robert and
other boys approached the reservoir
and heard strange noises ISSUING
therefrOm. They were at first
frightened, but later, growing bold
er, investigated and discovered Bossy
in her bath.
Mr.. Russell secured assistance and
with the aid of ropes, Bossy was
hoisted out of her tub. True to Gus
tim, she, like all ingrates, attempted
to injure all within her reach but
fortunately her intended victims.
were more agile than she.
The reservoir was drained ana
cleaned before being put into use
again

complete have been out on iunkets Of
kinds. Thursday my wife
and | started out, not knowing Just
where we would go. The Highway got

that paving winding up the gorge. We
will remain here for about four days. -
