Case has filed a replevin suit in the district court against City Attorney Woods and Assistant Marshal Millard to regain possession of the liquor confiscated in the raid on his place several-weeks ago. The defendants gave a redelivery bond for $60 and the case will come up for hearing in September or October. The object of a replevin suit is to gain immediate possession of the thing sued for, and there is some curiosity to know why this case was not brought in a justice's court where trial could be had at once. The filing of the case in the district court will put a hearing off until after the liquor case, which has been appealed, is triedT A rather peculiar accident occurred down at the Rock Island roundhouse Sunday The switching crew was doingsome switching and through a mistake the roundhouse switch was opened instead of the track switch, Some four or five cars were shoved in on the track and went pallmell over the turntable and into the round house, striking engine 310 which had been in only a short time. The jar was so heavy that it sent the engine through the wall.

The frame was broken and the engine had to be sent to the shops at Horton for repairs. It was lucky that the turntable had not been moved or the wreck might have been a bad well Advance. Boring Again for Water. The water committee of the city council has let the contract for sinking a number of wells at the crossing of the Ninnescah river andijthe Santa Fe railroad near Belle Plaine to Contractor Evans of Newton, a man who has had much experience searching for water, and whoso services will be of much value to the city. Mr.

Evans now has a force of men at work near Belle Plaine and has one well down a considerable depth. The wells are being bored. The water committee went to Belle Plaine the first part of last week and secured permission of a number of land owners to sink wells on their land. The farmers there were very courteous to the committee and gave their consent for the city to bore wells wherever they saw fit. It is the desire of the committee to find a supply of underground water, as suggested by State Geologist Erasmus Haworth, as that will insure pure and clear water year in and year out, and obviate the inconveniences and unsatisfactory nature of surface water attending rises in the Ninnescah river, Tne committee are confident, from the observations of the state geologist, that an everlasting supply can be secured from wells in that vicinity as well as from the river itself.

The river at times is very low and the construction of a system to furnish a supply from the surface would involve the expenditure of a large sum for the building of a dam. The Ninnescah furnishes an inexhaustible supply of water, but during the dry season the flow is often under ground, hence the advisability of figuring on an underground supply in the first place. As soon as the well at present in course of construction is completed, a 1,000 gallon pump will be put to work and kept going for a number of days, until the committee is satisfied that the supply is great enough to furnish water for the city. It may be necessary to sink only one or two wells. When the water committee are satisfied that they have found a good supply, further steps toward providing the city with a water system will be taken.

A Close Call. J. M. Thralls had a narrow escape from serious injury and possible death while target practising with the gun club Thursday. The left barrel of his gun exploded, rendering him dazed fora moment.

He was slightly powder burned on the forehead and it is thought that his left ear was ruptured by the concussion. The outer side of the left gun barrel near the breach for a distance of about six inches was entirely blown away. Fortunately Mr. ThTalls had the gun to his left shoulder when the explosion occurred, or it would" have torn away his arm and possibly the charge would have struck him in the face or neck and caused instant death. As it was, the charge went harmlessly out of the side of the gun arid no serious consequences will result.

The force of the explosion turned Mr. Thralls around like a top, dazing him for a few moments. The side of the gun barrel was blown entirely away and could not be found. An idea of the force of the explosion may be gained from the fact that Sheriff Heskett and Perry Riner, who were standing near, received a heavy shock. Mr.

Riner turned half way round by the concussion and Mr. Heskett was almost deafened by the report. Mr. Thralls thinks, the accident may have been caused by a defective shell. H.e had several reloaded' shells with him, but does not know if one of them was in the gun when he shot it.
