HASTINGS , Oct. 10 , ( Special. ) It is al most a sure thing that the citizens of Hast ings will have to tote $3,000 bonds for water worts Improvements , Ono or two of the wcIU have given out and other * . It seems , may do so at any time. Although little water was used on lawni this year , yet had there been more- demand for water It would have been almost Impossible for the city water works to supply It. Meter * have been put In and theuxpenacs of running the plant have- been lessened. It Is Intended to make the plant more- than uelf-sustalulug. Ono reason thu rxpenics have been greater than the rent U the catering of the lawns. This rent 1 * f6 per season and the coat of pumplnc' the water has been about 523 , that In. the city has lo t oil un average $10 for every person taking out a lawn permit. Bonds having already been voted for putting In an electric light plant , it would seem almost useless to establish the lighting- plant without first Improving the water works , as the perfection of the water works Is necessary in order to run the electric light plant.

Louis Mick and Joe Karmon , two thrifty farm ers , living about nluo miles south of this place and about the same distance north and west of Clarkson , were at the latter place with a load of hogs each. .When they had unloaded the hogs and received the buyer's check for them It was 5 o'clock , and past banking hours , and In order to get the checks cashed they went to a hardware store where Mick -was given four $10 bills. The amount of the check being but $38.75 , he was obliged to go to a saloon to get change , which necessitated exhibiting his money. In the saloon were three men who saw the money. Soon after Messrs. Mick nnd Karmon started for homo and when out but a short distance were overtaken by the same three men who were In the saloon , driving a good road team hitched to a farm wagon. The farmers finally separated. When about ono and one-half miles from his home , Mick was accosted by three men who commanded him to throw up his hands , nnd at the same tlmo one of them stopped the team ho was driving and the other two Jumped Into his wagon and struck him with bottles and fists. Mick made a hard fight , but was finally overpowered and robbed of his money , but not until he had torn the mask from the face of one of the robbers and Identified him as ono of the men who had been following him , Yes terday the iccn were found and arrested and from all the circumstances It seems probable - able that they are the men who committed thu a > fault.
