Within a week or ten days it is be leived patrons mady use all the water they desire for all purposes from the mains. L o ‘A new wel lwas completed last Friday at the water plant and it will be connected wit hthe pumps within a week. The well is a ten-inch hole 110 feet deep and with the other wells in use @m abundant supply |of * water should soon be made, available for all purposes. . e It has been someweeks since a ban ' was placed on the use of water for sprinkling purposes and the rule * gince /the! warning issued by Mayor Denning has - been religiously observed. The enactment of an orde: by the city council emphasized the * jmportance of conserving water fol _culinary use, toilets and fire protec tion. - = Some gardens may have suffereg slightly for the want of sprinkling but occasional rains- proved a big help: . Lawns and flower beds do mnot seem to have been greatly affected and they will soon came back whea * sprinkling is resumed. . . '_ The. water shortage has proven very embarrasing to the city ad ministration many people complaining that work on the new well at thé .municipal plant was not started ac ‘soon as it should have been, but the truth is it took some time to deter mine the true:condition of the supply wells and later a contractor to per: - for mthe job had to be found. . The water shortage coming at the season it did worked a hardship to many people but it was ‘something, which could not-be foreseen nor pre: vented . L a {All will rejoice when the restrict iéns on the use of water are’lifted.

With his body enveloped in a mass of flames Kronenberg leaped from the truck ran inside the- gasoline station and shut| off all connections to several great tanks containing thousands of gallons of gasoline which otherwise would have been ignited with the probable result that such buildings as the Balkan hotel, New York Central passenger station and freight depot and a number of store buildings would have been destroyed. = . “So terribly burned was the vic; tim’s body that it was necessary for rescuers to carry him to the hospital in a sheet. His "agony was so in{ense that Kronebe-g:g}; was temporari ly insane, fighting his rescuers until he was finally subdued. He remaineu conscious almost to the minute of his death at' the hospital. e “The body was seared so deeply that portions of the flesh dropped away with the clothing when it was being- removed at the hospital, .Nl hope for his recovery was expressed at any time while attnding physicians marveled at the great strength which retained life for five hours beforc death finally ended his agony.

Lecal Ball Team Defeats Kendallyille Sunday in Warmest Contest - ‘ of the Season ,

Doc Rex sent his braves against Kendallville’s ' specials Sunday to a clean victory the score being 2 to 1 which ‘indicates that the ball game was a contest from the start to finish. Kendallville fremed up. a team which she®hoped would walk the log of Ligonier but shé went up against a stone wall’and went down in defeat. While the crowd that witnessed the contest was fair it was not as large as the merits of the game warranted. The home boys are entitled to more

encouragement from Ligonier people and now that they have demonstrated that thye can play ball they may get it. cE et
