Ferocious Tussle on Lower Twelfth

A serious affray took place last

THE BIG
Completion of the Immense Bes-
ervoirs tf the Water
Works ,
Some Fine Work Boon to be
t'xbibitcdtothe Omaha
Public.
Our citizens gcntrally will bo
plcaacd to learn that the upper reser
voirs of the water woiki company , lo <
cated in West Omaha prroitint , ara
now permanently finished and equal
in complctnees to on ) thing if the
kind in the United States.
Abjut a year ago the basins wet o
made ready for the reception of
water , but the brick work waa really
of n temporary character , the inten
tion being that when every particle of
the earthwork was thoroughly settled
to construct the brick work that is to
last for all time ,
So it was about two months aqo
the contract for the wet k was let to
MacRitchto & Nichol , the celebrated
civil engineer ] an 4 contractors of Chicago
cage , men who have successfully con
structed mure reservoirs of this kind
than any firm in this country and who
have at the present time several oth
ers under way. Oharha Mao-
Ritchie , the senior partner ,
ciiiio here in person with hid
able assistants , Messrs. Pattoft and
Beats , and not a noment'a delay was
made in commercing aud continuing
the work , until on Tuesday their con
tract waa completed. About an hun
dred muM and teams have bttn tm-
plojtd all the tinif , and the wotk of
rppuddling and Jaying the double
lived brick walls his been dune in a
systematic manutr certainly to the
satisfaction of the disinterested mo-
cbai.ial rye and undoubtedly to the
satisfaction of the water woika com
pany , for their in tens a have been , -X
guarded in the most critical and ekil-
tul manner by Hugh Murphy , than
whom there is no one in the west bet
tor suited to inspect just such con
struction. Not a foot of bank has
bicn puddled , not a hod of co-
mouc luixod , not a biick laid
to solid rest , without Murphy' *
immediate supervision , and if
hia verdict ia that Mac Ritchie and
Nichol have done their work well , U
is safe to bet that such ia the case.
Some additional work remains to bo
done by way of sodding the banks ,
gravelling the tops thereof , etc. ,
when , undmbtedly , the reservoirs
will bd thrown open to Mho examina
tion of the oil y officials and the Omaha
public , and then two immense reser
voirs will greet the eye that would bean
an ornament to any city , as they are
to ours , besides being aomethini ?
whoso solid , permanent usefulness in
at once apparent to the most disinter
ested.

Mr. Mao Ritchie during hia short
stay in Omaha has made many friends
among our staunch business men , for
his push and knowledge of the pro-
CtBaion and business of his choice. Ho

urvoirs to construct , leaving behind a
reputation for the highest skill and
integrity in contract work. '
The new water works company have
jottlcd right down to business it

iniahes our citizens can rest assured
hat the work at one end of the line
