DENISON’S WATER SUPPLY
One of the greatest achievments for a city is to have an
ace of good water upon which the citizens may depend
yall times to be at their disposal.
Some cities have an abundance of water, but it is not of
f
End that is useful for washing, or it may be lacking as :i
water for drinking purposes. Again, it may have both
£>f these points and yet its service .:s not dependable through
jack of proper physical equipment to convey’it at all times
./to the people, and to meet emergencies that may arise as in the
case of the big fire. -----
Denison has all the good
points that go to make a splen-
did water supply. Early in the
history of Denison the foun-
dation for its water supply
was laid by its far seeing meu.
Through the goodness of some
of its citizens, ground for two
f-iplendid Jjakes was provided
and We have Bandell and Wat-
erloo lakes, bftth of them be-
ing the source of our supply.
Sationed aS the pumping
plants are mat equipped with
specil machine for the purpose
of testing at regular intervals
the water to see that it is up
to standard aid sent through
the pipes to |he people pure
and void of death dealing
germs. When t reaches the con-
sumers they may rest assured
that every precautionary meas-
ure has been ised to give them
the kind of vater that meets
all standard ests.
Not on’y tjis, but the phy-
sical equipment at hand for the
purpose of meeting emergen-
cies, as in tin1 case of destruc-
tive fires,-is amply adequate
to command sufficient pressure
and coverage to reduce to the
minimum any fire hazards.
Denison is to be congratu-
lated on its n’ater supply and
is 9iic of the cardinal talking
points when it comes to getting
TIjKr homo here.

Real estate is beginning to
move, the farm is coming into
its own again, and before long
’lie man with a little home on
a piece of ground from which
he gathers his living, will be

that has not been seen for years
was to be noted in one of the
larger papers Sunday. A two

Judge M. M. Scholl was con-
fronted with a peculiar situation
Monday afternoon when a woman
came before him and reported that
her seven-yea'r-old child had been
abducted by her husband, and
taken to Willis Point.
It seems that she had been sep-
arated from her husband for the
past three years, hut had not had
money enough to sue for a di-
vorce, therefore had no court

last week.
Twenty-two have enrolled in. the

Working h:s first full fiscal year
with an adequate field force under
the state’s strong new "anti-boot-
leg” law, the cbmtrollcr boosted gas
tax income $4,038,845. above last
year to an all-time high total of
$33,984, S48, his annual report show-
ed.
He attributed almost the entire
gain to record enforcement activiry
and the educational campaign if
the Texas G6od Roads Association.
In his: statewide drive against the
tax-stealing "racket", his 50 field
men filed 99 felony and 71 misde-
meanor charges during the year, U
reported.
The $33,984,848 Income is broken
up into three parts. In addition to
the $8,498,212 for schools, another
$3,498,212 goes to county road bonds.
Whereas the fund last year was
able to pay all interest on such
bonds lint only 30 per edit of the
principal, tho increase will permit
paying this year of all interest and
at least half the principal maturi-
ties, if not more, Mr. Sheppard es-
t mated.
The remainder of the gas tax, or
$18,992, 42-!, is still devoted to too
original purpose for which the tax
was invented —construction and
maintenance of state highways.

AN OUTLINE OF THE
FIRST YEAR'S EVENTS
Compiled from the files of
the Denison News by Miss
Dulce Murray.
Oct. 10th, 1872
As soon as the news of the re-
moval of out postmaster, Mr.
Nelson was made known, a gen-
eral expression of dissatisfaction
was heard. That Mr. Nelson was
, removed without the knowledge
c la, spent, a large part ol thej0f the citizens of Denison was
enough to awaken surprise, but

ced Tuesday. The special event will

An advance ticket sale indicates
that a large crowd will be at the

time holding Slagle in an armlock
after the German had failed with
a series of tackles.
After ten minutes of wild grap-
pling, Slagle won the second fall
with a flying tackle. Referee
Percy Henry became entangled in
the melee when he attempted to
part the pair after Humberto had
tried to bump Slagle’s head against
one of the iron ring posts. Slagle
threw both Henry and Humberto
at the same time with headlocks,
one under each arm, and Henry
received a paralyzing blow from
Humberto's elbow when he extri-
cated himself. Body slams were
tiaded before Slagle took the fall.
Henry apparently was still dazed
from the blow after the fall as he
started toward the rear of the
building instead of the front
where the dressing rooms are lo-
^ cated.
i Henry found himself in the
J thick of affairs in the third fall
! when lie stepped in to prevent
! Humberto strangling Slagle with
I a piece of bandage. Humberto
I ripped off Henry’s shirt. The
I grapplers had been going eleven
minutes when Slagle butted Hum-
berto and himself out of the ring
to end the match with no decision.
Slagle was knocked unconscious
from the fall and was carried to
the dressing rooms.
Lew Plummer, giant ex-Notre
Dame gridder, won the first main
event by default when Ricardo
Santo, Spain, was unable to reap-
pear after Plummer had won the
first fall. As Santo attempted a
flying tackle his head struck Plum-
mer's shoe and opened a deep cut
over his left eye. Plurftmer smoth-
ered him to take the fall in six-
teen minutes. Santo was taken to
that Dd. Cullar should have his
partner, F. P. Baker secretly ap-
pointed is a bit of impertinanee
that calls for an explanation.
The general indignation of our
citizens took shape yesterday in
form of a petition asking for the
appointment of Win. H. Tone to
the office of postmaster. Mr. Tone
is named because Mr. Nelson
ernestly requested his name be
not used. Mr. Tone is the deputy
and he it is who has fitted up the
postoffice at a cost of $500 or
$000 taken from his own pocket.
He is well known to our citizens
as a reliable business man and
perfect gentleman. No better se-
lection could be made.
