The iroof of the building was completely des troyed. The debris fell into the ma chinery, the pit is partir.lly filled with water, so the damage will probably mount high, although completely Ed Sutter Injured Ed iSutter was badly injured and nnnvnvlv asuarpf death last Friday afternoon at the Ed Miller ranch when a hay derrick fell on him. Mr. Sutter was stacking and when the first fork full of hay tipped the derrick -which was not securely fastened down and it fell on Mr. Sutter who did not see it.

It is necessary to keep the water in the city reservoir up to this height, said Mr. L. M. Hoyt, city water super intendent yesterday. The water con sumption at present is very heavy. Persons whoso water bills ordinarily Tun aoout $1 or $z per month are contracting bills that will amount to $5 or $(! a month, irrigating their gardens. So far as is possible, said Mr. Hoyt, the water is pumped from the pond inti which a flume dis charges which takes the water from the river above the slaughter house. Some water is, however at times pumped from below the slaughter house. It is also stated by Mr. Hoyt that analysis was made of this water some time ao and it was found to be pure. The water is pumped from the side of the river opposite the slaugh ter house, and it is said thnt the cur rent would not permit the slaughter house to affect the water. As long as river water is being pumped at all it would seem to tho Observer to be prudent to !xil the drinking water. You won't have to worry then about it.
