POLICE INVESTIGATION Will Probably Resalt In An Arrest as Aatkorltlee Mow Have DIs erlptioa ef tke Ian, Taking it upon himself to tamper with city water plugs resulting in the riling of the water supply over the greater part of the city and render ing it unfit for use, an unknown man of whom the authorities hare a de tailed description Is being sought and upon apprehension will be charged with violation of. a city ordinance. This ordinance make it unlawful for anyone outside of a city employe, who.

la at 'the time working under order from the waterworks superintendent, to use a city water plug except In case of fire. Last Thursday, shortly before noon, Huntington'a city water assumed a rusty appearance and inquiries commenced coming in at the superintendent's office aa to the reason for this. SupU 'John. Fulton. Immediately started an He learned that between the hour of 10 and 11 o'clock Thursday morning a man was seen to take off the cap and flush a plug at Wllkerson and Third streets.

This, according to witnesses, was accomplished with a pipe wrench. After turning off the water he was seen to enter th Erie yards and go In the direction of the machine ahops. The fellow Is described as tall and slender, wearing dark trousers and shirt and waa smooth face. He wore no coat Not knowing how. to operate a water plug correctly, the fellow turning It on caused water to come in spurts instead of a scteady flow with th result that all rust and other accumulations In the mains were stirred up and mixed, with the water.

In the greater part of the city this rendered the water unfit for use and with the clty.ln the grip of a torrid wLh SupVJohn'lPulton of the.de Is wpected to answer. In a statement Mr. Fulton said that unless the fello'Wwhb 'flashed these plugs, acknowledge his ac tlons, when apprehended he would be forced to face several charges that can be brought for violation of city Persistent argument about streets ss to the cause of the bad con dition of the water contended that the new. air lift system was respon sible. "This Is entirely false," says Superintendent Fulton, "as the water at the pump station is In better con dition than when obtained by the old suction system." Other rumor said that the connecting of a newly laid main on Sabine fetreet from Third to Tipton waf In some way responsible.

Mr. Fulton, however, says that If this had anything to dd with the riled con dition of the water, it would have affected only that immediate vicinity and as the entire north side of the city affected, the flushing of the plugs on Wllkerson street without proper knowledge as to how It should be done, cauaed all the trouble.
