logs against the Clearwater. company, which was
done, the logs being put in at $50, 900. which
was raised BY the state board to $4,000,
In the contract between the two companies
there was a provision that the title should re
main with the logging company, as claimed by
Richards, but til ere also another one which
held the Crookston Lumber company for thu
taxes. no matter against whom they were as
sessed.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 23.-Judge Garland
in the contempt proceedings instituted by the
old waterworks company,"as the outgrowth OF
the fight for municipal system OF water
works in Sioux Falls, and in which Mayor Burn
side and other city officers We're the defendants,
decided that they were not guilty of Intentional
ly violating the terms of his decree in the wa
terworks case. -. "'.a.r.s....t.ts r. r.
He accordingly ordered that the contempt pro-
ceedings be dismissed and defendants discharged
The Judge, however, was emphatic in the decla-
ration that the attempt to complete the munich
pal plant was a violation of his decre& and that
it must stand exactly es it is until thu United
States circuit court Of appeals decides the main
case, which is now pending before it. y r..
The attorneys for the old waterworks com
pany argued that the attempt, to complete the
municipal system was violation OF, Judge Car
lands decision on July u last. which perpetuay
enjoined the city from completing and operating
the municipal system. - =
This decision contained clause which prohib
tied the city from completing and operating Its
plant until said city, may lawfully 90 so.
The whole contempt proceedings were based upon
the legal definition Of the words until said
city may lawfully do So" r. zr: 81
The city authorities, tnasmuch as the decls'
ion last July by Judge Garland held in sub
stance that the bonds issued for the municipal
plan carried the bonded Indebtedness OF the
city beyond the constitutional limit, believed thai
the raising Of money for the completion OF the
system by special taxation would be no violation
