The Patton Water company is mak-

station to supply the demand for the
increasing population of Patten A
"crew of men have been testing the
supply on the east and west side of

feet from the ever Sowing stream,
opposite the Beech Creek repair shops.
The machinery has been shipped and
is expected to arrive at any time when
it will be placed and be put in operation
before many weeks. A duplex pump
with a’ capacity of 350 gallons a day
will be pat in. It will pump direct
into the Flannigan run reservoir or

iA wreck which might have proved
fatal to many lives occurred a short
distance below the Hastings station
use Thursday evening. The . passenger
train, which leaves Patton at 6:12 p.
m., ran into an open switch and came
in contact with a loaded car on the
side track with such force as to coms
pletely demolish the engine. The
suddenness of the stop threw both the
engineer and firemen from the engine
and they escaped injury. The con.
ductor and brakeman were bruised and
cut about the face. Several passengers’
who were on the train were badly
shaken up. It is said the switch was
left open on purpose, and that railroad
detectives are on the lookoui for the
