Sioux Falls, Jan. 3.-Another pro
Feeding has been filed in the federal court
In the suit of the Farmers Loan and
Trust company of New York city against
the city of Sioux Falls and the water COM
puny. Judge Bartlett Trip offers an an
swer for the South Dakota Water COM
pany, the Sioux Falls Water company and
w. S. Kuhn to the bill of complaint OF
the trust company, and also files a cross
bill against the city Of Sioux Falls and
Mayor Burnside. In Judge Trips an
swer he alleges that when the original
contract was made between the water
company and the city Of Sioux Falls in
1884 it was understood between the par
ties that the franchise was to be per-
petual, and that the city would never COM
pete with the water company either for
public or private supply. The cross bill
Is voluminous and ~recites the original
agreement between the city and water
that the city has authorized the
issuance of $2l0, 900 of bonds not for the
purpose Of purchasing the present plant,
but for the purpose Of putting in a new
plant. 1t alleges that the mpa has
always supplied the city with an ade-
luate supply of pure water and further al
leges that the earnings of the company
have never been sufficient to pay a divi-
dend, and that If a new plant is put in
the present plant would be worthless. The
cross bill asks for a decree holding that
the original contract is a perpetual con-
tract, and further for an order restraining
the city of Sioux Falls from in any man
ner interfering with the business of the
South Dakota Water by erecting
a municipal plant or allowing other par
ties to construct a plant.

LEAD STILL LEADS.
1t Retains the Banner for A. o. u. w.
Membership.

Sioux Falls, Jan. 3.-There was a
big time In A. o. U. w. circles in Sioux
Falls the last day Of the old year. Some
time ago a friendly competition was
started between the jurisdictions of Iowa
and South Dakota for new members, the
competition to extend over the months Of
December, January and February. There
has also been quite a strife between the
lodges at Aberdeen, Lead and Sioux Falls
tor the banner of the state. For a num-
Der of years this contest each year was
between Aberdeen and Sioux Falls, but
Lead has gradually crept up until one
year ago, when 1t went to the front.
During the past year both Sioux Falls
and Aberdeen have ben making strong
| efforts 10 outstrip Lead, but, while they
have given the leader d close run, they
failed to outstrip her by q small margin.
The last day of December closes the year
for new members in each lodge and on
that occasion each of the three leading
lodges held meetings. Grand master
Workman Smith and Grand Medical Elk
aminer Crane were at the Sioux Falls
meeting. Se~venty-three new member
were taken in here, which placed the to-
tai membership of the local lodge at 789.
During the evening q telegram was re-
ceived by the grand master Workman
from Lead stating that the year closed
with that lodge with q membership of 812.
A similar message was received from Alb
erdeen placing their membership at 1852.
Grand Medical Examiner Crane announced
that over 500 applications had been acted
on in this Jurisdiction during the month
of December.
The year closed here with a big ban
quet. There were delegations of Work
men present from Lennox, Parker, Hart
ford, Dell Raids, Salem, Luverne, MINI,
Canton and other points and a social time
was enjoyed which lasted well into the
morning Of the new year. The supreme
grand lodge at its last session offered 8
prize of $1,000 to each jurisdiction which
increased its membership 25 per cent by
the LIST of next June. South Dakota is
out after this prize with bright prospects
of winning.

WALLA WALLA WRECKS.
Revised Estimate Indicates AZ Were
. Lost.

San Francisco, Jan. THE French
bark Max, which collided with the
steamship Walla Walla early Thursday
morning, is being towed to this city in
a badly disabled condition. The steamer
George W.. Elder, from Portland, re-
ports that she passed the Max at 1880
o'clock yesterday morning in tow of
the steamer Acme and the United
States revenue cutter. McCulloch,
eighteen miles northwest of Point
Reyes. The Max's bowsprit was car
ried away and her bow was stove in,
both above and below the water line.
Her watertight compartments alone
were keeping her afoat.
Ninety-tWo survivors of the Walla
Walla arrived here yesterday from
Eureka on the steamer Pomona. There
is still some discrepancy in the lists
Of dead and missing. The number
ranges from thirty-seven to forty
seven. This discrepancy is due to the
fact that several passengers boarded
the vessel just as she was leaving port.
Others who were travelling second class
gave assumed names to hide their iden-
tity. By striking out what are possible
duplicates the number of lost stands at
f~orty-one, classed as follows: known
dead, nine; missing passengers, thir-
teen, crew, twenty.
One life raft is ~unaccounted for, and
it is feared hat all the missing are
lost.
Rev. Henry Erickson, who was
among the six survivors brought to
this city by the steamer Nome City
last night, Is at st. Mary's hospital,
a physical and almost a mental wreck.
His wife and three children are among
the dead and missing. The Erickson
family, excepting the mother, were
second class passengers. When the
crash came they were awakened, and
all got on the upper deck together.
Mrs. Erickson and the two younger
children got separated from their
father n elder brother. What their
fate was is not known, but 1T is pre-
sumed they were drowned when the
vessel went down. Erickson n his
son chung together, and were pitched
into the water clear of the sinking
steamer.
They floated around for some time
and finally were picked up by the life
raft, on which We're a number Of others
of the Walla Walla. 1t was almost
daybreak when they were found, and
they were In an exhausted condition.
Father and son were pulled upon the
light structure, but the boy was too
weak to stand the exposure. A few
hours later he died in his fathers
arms, and after the heartbroken father
mad bowed his head in silent prayer
over the corpse Of his son, the body
was consigned to the waves.
After the body of the boy had gone
overheard the father became more and
more Respondent. The sea vas running
high and dashing over the raft, but
all chung on through the long hours Of
the day and night. They roped against
hope until Nome City picked them up.
The Rev. Mr.. Erickson was the first
to be placed aboard. He VISA at once
placed in bed, and as carefully attend
ed as circumstances would permit. 1t
is thought he will recover from the ter
rible effects Of the exposure, unless he
succumbs under the grief.

South Dakota Would Like 10 Borrow
from School Fund.

Pierre, S. D., Jan. 6.-The only col!
the past week for any portion of the
permanent school fund came from Gus
ter county, which took 81, 900. One Of
the peculiarities Of the affairs Of the
state at the present time Is the fact
that while the permanent school fund
shows a large surplus which 1t is i'm
possible to loan, at the same time there
Is o to be a deficiency in the state
general fund. which will require bor-
rowing to bridge over While the state
would be glad TO- borrow from the
overlooking school fund and pay inter-
est to the schools rather than an out
slider, the provisions Of handling the
school fund are such that it can only
be loaned on bonds, and not on tenn
porary securities such as the state
could give under the present circum-
stances. If conditions were such as to
allow. each fund could help the other,
and interest paid by the state would
be TO itself instead Of to some tndi-
vidual.
