A Sioux Falls Special to the
Sioux City Gar.sst gives the fu.,ow-
ing in regard to the settlement of
our ditch trouble:
The Union county ditch casc was
brought up for final hearing in court
before Judge Garland here to day
and yesterday. At the conclusion
of the argument of the case last
evening Judge Garland minated
his views as to the rights of the
parties and requested that counsel
meet during the adjournment and
settle among themselves the details
of a decree. Accordingly A.. l..
Hudson, of sioux City, in behalf Of
the settlers along the ditch, and
j. A. Wallace, E. G. Ericsson and
A. D. Keller, of Elk Point, on be-
half of the county commissioners
and people of Elk Point, held a con-
ference at the Cataract last evening
and formulated a decree which was
presented to the court this morning
and approved and signed. The pro.
visions of the decree require the
county commissioners to at once
construct a sufficient and perma-
nent bulk head at the point where
the ditch taps Kiplinger's lake and
to maintain the same so MS to prevent
damage or overflow to the land ofthe
settleas, the expense to be paid by q
tax upon the property benefited by
the draining Of the lake and Of the
surface water along the ditch. II is
also provided hat for ten days and
while said bulk head is being con-
structed the water shall be entirely
stopped from flowing into the ditch
and that during that time the set
tiers shall clear the ditch ofall rub
bish and distractions; also that no
additional side drains shall be
thrown into the ditch. The pro-
visions of the ditch are regarded as
very favorable to the settlers, in that
their property is protected from
any danger Of further overflow and
that the stopping Of the flow Of
water into the ditch will give their
lands full opportunity to dry out
in time fer late crops; while it is
also regarded as entirely fair for the
people OF Elk Point and Others in
terested in the draining Of the lake,
AZ it makes provision for systematic
and uninterrupted draining Of the
lake - soon as the bulk-head il
completed.

Memorial hay was observed in
this city to. day with all its imposing
cerenonies.an Notwithstanding bad
weather and bad roads quite a large
humber Of people were in from the
country to witness the exercises.
AT one o'clock the procession was
formed in front Of the court house
square by tie marshal of the day,
DR., J. e.. Comfy. The line consist
cd Of Co. ID. End Reg't, D. N. G. an
der command oil Capt. A. d. Keller,
as an escort, followed by the officers
of the day and Stephen A. Hurlbut
Post, No. 8, G. A. r. under COM
mand of Geo. Nj. Inch, the COM
mander. Next followed a squad of
little girls carrying wreatfis Of flow
ers, and citizens on foot and a large
procession of people in wagons and
carriages. The march was prompt
ly taken up tp the cemetery where
the usual impressive ceremonies of
decorating the soldiers graves was
carried out in an expeditions and
proper manner. The dead soldiers
buried in III cemetery here, upon
whose graves the beautiful flowers
were strewn, are:
A. e. EDDY, Il. r. REMINGTON,
e. &. COLLINS, ScovILLE,
RoBT. BAKER, JAS. KlPLINGER,
III. N. WIcKs, VIM. DAcKs.
1t is a pleasing fact to note that
the number OF graves containing the
noble heroes has not been increased
since a year ago when the same ser.
vices were performed.
The line Of march was again TAX
up, the procession marching back
to the Opera House TO complete the
program mapped out beforehand.
Thanks to the ladies of tho W. II. G.
and other ladies of our city, the Op-
era House was most beautifully dec
Grated with flags, pictures and flow
ers, presenting an attractive and
pleasant place in which to meet and
and think of the valorous and
patriotic deeds performed by our be.
soldiers who silently sleep un-
der the green sod. This spacious
and elegant place was soon filled to
it's utmost capacity, and the presi-
dent of the day, Hon. e. c. Ericsson,
the assemblage to order. the
choir sang Honor to the Brave"
after which Rev. l.. P. Sabin offered
prayer. Then the choir sang with
fine effect To-day this Hallowed
Place We Seek" The president
then introduced Co. Supt. w. II. II.
who spoke for fifteen or twen-
" minutes in a pleasing and enter
manner, after which j. A.
Wallace, Esq, occupied about TWEEN
" minutes in addressing the au-
and the frequent applause
ne received il evidence that he came
up to his usual standard Of excel
ence. The choir then sang "Sleep
sacred Dust Of Noble Dead" Ira |
l.. Nichols was then introduced who
occupied thirty minutes in a fine
address. Mr.. Nichols is not only |
possessed Of q fine, cultivated mind,
Dut is a natural orator and oem-
hands the strictest attention Of az
audience. After america" from
he choir, the henediction was pro-
Hornoea by Rev. Father Miller.
Thus closed another decoration
and from the elaborate arrange
nents and faithful carrying out of
.he same, it is evident that the sur
comrades OF these dead he
,oes still have their memory ever
and green.

Memorial Services at the Opera
House were we'll attended and very
interesting. Father Hines interest
ed our people with a sketch of bis
early life in which he very wildly
pictured his connection with the
Anti-slavery movement in Massa-
cllusetts, and his association with
such old timers as Wendell Phillips
and VIM Lloyd Garrison, and most
admirably paved the way for the
speakers on Memorial Day. 1t is a
self-evident fact, that great respon-
sibility rests upon this generation,
in that the youth Of today is taught
the true story Of Memorial Day.
On last Sunday afternoon our
townsman M. B. Kent, was passing
the residence of Flavy Davis on
Franklin street and his attention
was attracted by the crying and
screaming of children inside. After
waiting a moment Mr.. Kent became
satisfied that something unusual
was taking place, and went into the
house. To his surprise he found
Davis sitting in a chair by the
bed with a cooked revolver in his
left hand, Mrs. Davis had hold of
his wrist with one hand and was
holding the revolver down as near
the floor as possible, her other arm
was around Davis neck, and she
was crying Oh! don't. Oh! don't.
AS 500 as Mr.. Kent made his APP
pearance Mrs. Davis asked for God
sake to take the revolver from Davis
as he was about to kill her. Mr.
Kent, grasped the revolver blythe
barrel, Davis shouting get away
you -, and leave me
alone. After a severe struggle the
weapon WAS secured. Davis pulled
the trigger Of the revolver in the
struggle, the hammer striking Mr..
Kent on the thumb thus prevent
ing its being discharged. Sheriff
Bovee, was called and was about to
arrest Davis when Mrs. Davis object
ed, upon being asked if Davis had
not attempted to shoot her. Why
no says she, lie was trying to kill
himself. / have no complaint TO
make. THIS is the old story Of
women's weakness. 1t was a sad
sight for a Sabbath day. We have
often noticed in our life time that
the devil is very busy on the Sab.
bath day. 1t is learned that these
have transpired heretofore in
the history of this family. They
have since left town.
