The proposal of the board of wa ter commissioners that the town of PlainviIle be supplied with water by this city at the rate of 10 cents per 100 cubic feet, will not become et- fcctivc until after 1923, city officials believe.
 The corporation counsel is working on an opinion setting forth whether or not the city has the right by char ter to supply other cities or towns with water. When the matter of sup plying Kensington with water came before the local government 1t was referred to the legislature and at the last session the right to sell was granted, city officials point out, and on this account it is unlikely that the city will be able to go ahead now.
 At meeting of the water board last night it was voted to recommend to the common council that water be sold at the rate of 10 cents per 100 cubic feet, provided the city has the charter right to do so.

ESCAPE IN AUTOMOBILES
r1rst Set Fire to Mail Car--Passcn-

Paxton, III. Nov. S.-Hundreds of men in posses were searching early today for ten bandits who last night held up the New Orleans Ltd, on the Illinois Central railroad two miles south of here, wounded four train employees, stole two pouches of reg istered mail and escaped after sett- ing fire to the mail car.
 Much Shooting.
 No trace of the robbers has been found early today the only aid in the search being a statement by members of the train crew that they had head ed west in two automobiles. Squads of Chicago police guarded all roads entering that city and the alarm was telephoned to all central Illinois towns. The passengers were not mo- tested although one, K. II. KnOWlton, of Freeport, H., got three bullet holes in his coat when he and three companions went up to the mail car and fired on the bandits as the lat ter were fighting the engine crew and Baker a mail clerk was shot in the mail car. Arthur Moon, a Pullman porter, was shot in the chest and groin as he stood in the vcstbule of a smoker. Fireman Harry Bangs was wounded in the shoulder. Thomas Baker a mail crclk was shot in the hand and shoulder and Ben Bobinet- te, another clerk, was cluhhcd over the head with revolver.
 Hold Up Engine Crew.
 Two of the robbers boarded the train at some point between Chicago and Paxton and covered the engine crew with their guns as the train was passing through here according to the report Of division Superintendent J. w. Hevron.
 They ordered the train to proceed to a small bridge over a stream two miles further south where the train was stopped.
 Ordering the crew to break the train the engineer and tiremen were forced to pull the mail and baggage cars further up the tracks, leaving the other nine coaches on the other side of the stream to prevent inter ference by the passengers. Eight other men appeared from automo- hi!es and began the assault on the mail car,
 Forced to Opc,f roors.
 On q threat of shooting the engn- ccr and fire man if the mail car was not opened the robbers forced the mail clerks to open the door, but when the engineer and fireman had cianbared inside the door was slam rasd shut.
 Several charges of dynamite and firing from rcVolVers and shotguns finally forced the doors in and a hand to hand battle ensued which ended only when the robbers had thrown two bombs into the car and fire brand which smoked out the four men inside. When the clerks came ont with the sacks containing registered mail to save them from being burned, the bandits jumped into their machines and left The train crew hooked up the train again
