D. Berry, secretary of the city board of health, last night advised the city council that samples of city water have been reutrned from the state board of health labeled 'bacterial contamination." Fearing that Uie condition of the water might lead to an epidemic of typhoid fever, Dr. Berry suggested that some action be taken immediately. He told the council that the water works company is no longer taking any of its supply from Buck Creek but exclusively from White River. When water was taken partially, at ieast, from Buck Creek, he said, the water was determined good by the tests.

CANVASS 'ENTIRE COUNTY JUST FOR TODAY We, the Grand Jurors, of Delaware County, Indiana, for the January term, 1918, of the Delaware Circuit Court, beg to suy that during the said session of the Grand Jury, Mr.

Horace G. Murphy, the prosecuting attorney, was well prepared for the work In hand, and had a number of valuable witnesses before us, and others had been subpoenaed to appear before the Grand Jury. From the time we were assembled until we were discharged, Mr. Murphy executed his work with seal, skill and fidelity. Nothing seemed to be left undone bv him, and we believe if we should have been permitted by the court to have completed our labors as grand jurors we would have been led to most important and useful results.
