Show k II E DtEP l. WATER. A Itrettk at the Hluctrlc Power House Title Week. Quite a serious break occurred in the water pipe at the Electric Light power houso Monday evening. There was a large stream in the race, making a high pressure on. When the head gates to the power wheel were being fixed, the pressure press-ure on the wooden pipe leading from the race down the steep incline in-cline to the wheel became so great that a casting which held an encircling en-circling band of the big wood . pipe broke and away the water went, flooding everything. S. A. Luke and Eugene Snow were below when the break occurred. The water rushed down into the building where they were, covering the floor nearly a foot deep. Mr. Luke and Eugene worked for sometime in water up to their knees. The damage done can be easily repaired re-paired when the necessary fixtures arrive. |
