The Sioux Falls Journal IN reviewing
some of the important cases which will

court opening at Sioux Falls tomorrow,
Judge Smith of Yankton presid' ng, says
OF a Lake county case: 1.-The cas- OF
Rockford VS.. Lake county will no doubt
be watched with much interest by the
state at large. This suit involves the
title to the Bank OF South Dakota, in
Madison. The plaintiff alleges title
under a foreclosure of mortgage in the
early days Of that thriving town. Lake
county claims q lien OF $2,4OO personal
taxes assessed against the stakeholder Of
the busted bank and 5000 taxes on real
estate. Section 50, chapter IA, OF the
laws Of 1891, provides that q tax receipt
issued 10y a county treasurer is CON-
elusive evidence Of the pay Of all
former taxes. 1t is said that the plain
tiff in this case quietly walked up to the
county tr~easurer's Office Of Lake county
and with an unsophistlcated smile in
quired the amount o, taxes due for 1894
on the property in controversy. Being
enlightened on the question he rendered
the money and took the usual receipt.
II. now claims under the section of law
referred to that the county is precluded
from claiming any prior tax. II his con-
tentions are correct, county ~treasurers

Not q Passenger ON the Fated Electric
Car Escaped Death.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 1.-the people Of
this city are appalled, by the horror Of
the terrible accident which occurred
Saturday evening ON the big Central
viaduct. It was the worst accident that
had ever happened in this city, and the
story Of how the motor q loaded with
men, women and children had plunged
through an open draw, straight down 100
feet into the river, was told over and over
again. The first reports Of the disaster
have been verified in every particular,
with the possible exception of the mum.
Der of victims, which is q trifie smaller
than was at first supposed. The work
of rescuing the bodies Of the victims has
gone on steadily and so far is have
been found, with four persons still re.
ported missing. The identified dead
are: James Mclaughlin. baseball

Sarinski. Gertie Hoffman. Louis F.

The Conductor to Blame.
First reports from the scene OF the
disaster seemed to place the blame on
the conductor. They were that the i'll
fated motor car. containing between 20
and 80 people, approached the draw just
as a vessel was nearing it, and the
bridge attendants had closed the big
iron gates and were preparing to swing
the draw. AS is the rule, the car
stopped and the conductor went for
ward to release the switch in case the
way was clear. He must have been
blinded by the electric lights, for ar eye
witness declares that although the gates
were closed and the draw was already
in motion, the conductor raised the
switch handle. The motorman applied
the current and the car shot forward
and struck the gates with a crash.
There was only a moments pause and
then the heavy car ground its way
through the wreckage and

who at the first intimation of danger
rushed to the rear door. The car struck
the water with a great splash and then
there was silence. Soon men began to
rush shouting about, and police patrol

calls. In an incredibly short space of
time the work of rescue had begun. AS
the car went over the brink Of the abyss
the motorman jumped from the vesti-

the car, with the exception of the few
who had managed to jump as it toppled
over, went down to certain death. The
car disappeared from sight a oon as it
struck the water and all ON board were
drowned.

has been held as a witness, has been
