Sioux City, S. D.. Aug 30.-A special
meeting of the city council which will
be held tonight promises to have devei-
opments which will be Of the utmost
Importance to every resident of Sioux
Falls, as we'll as for the town in gen.
eral.
1t has been known that men repre-
senting one Of the strongest financial
syndicates in the west, with head
quarters at Des Moines, Ia have been
in the city for the purpose Of ascer-
an electric street railway and central
heating system in this city.
The Des Moines men, Messrs. S. c..
Lee, A. Fl. Marshall, w. r. Marshall.
j. r. Shelley and G.. w. Rhine, have
satisfied themselves that there is a
good opening here for the establish
ment of the system.
AT the special meeting of the city
council this evening an ordinance will
be introduced granting them fran
chise for the construction and oper-
alton of an electric street railway sys-
tenn and central heating plant.
AS stated, the men represent very
strong financial syndicate, and If the
franchise is granted, as will doubtless
be the case, work on the construction
of the two systems will be commenced
I'm the near future and pushed to com-
pletion at the earliest possible momenl.
For years Sioux Falls has desired
an electric street railway system and
there is every reason to believe that
the hopes of the people are about to
be realized

Wilson both plead not guilty. Both
men professed to be without funds to

There seems to be something decid-

daylight burglary of the Ben Jones
and Blandon residences this summer.
In appearance he seems to be per-
son of refinement and education. He
wears full brown beard and has the
eyes Of poet. Before being run in

out twenty days in Jail for drunken

Tom Philson's sale last Saturday was

The bunch of horses offered were a
fine lot of we'll bred roadsters, and only
few were sold, and did not bring

Her the pangs of jealousy caused by
his being spurned and cast aside for a
younger man, George Gray, aged ",
one eyed, veteran Of the civil war,
last evening lost himself in fit OF
rage and plunged a long bladed pocket
knife into the breast of E. H. Bearse,
aged "a, his hated rival. The blade en-
tered the breast at point an men
from the heart, striking the sixth rib
and glancing off between the sixth and
seventh ribs penetrating to depth or
an inch and one half. Mr.. Gray is the
father OF Oliver Gray, who, with Miss
Lucy Pond, committed suicide near Elk
Point, July A..
Before Bearse could be conveyed to
! police headquarters, where his wound
was dressed by DR.. Milton Daily, tins
hemorrhage was severe and for a few
minutes 1t was thought he was bleed-
ing to death. The assault took place
at S13 South Lafayette street, the
home Of Mrs. Caroline Mallard, aged
45, the cause Of the trouble.
Bearse, who is the foreman Of the
plasterers at work on the Y. NJ. c. A.
building, lay upon the operating table
at police headquarters and talked as
/ the surgeon washed out the ugly cash
\ In his breast.
.This old man is foolish and sore be-

housekeeper instead of his" Bearse
said. while was at work at the Y.
M. C. A. building he walked up and
down in front of Mrs. Mallard's home
declaring he was going to kill me. He
said he had bought knife with which
to stab me. I went to the house last
evening and was at the supper table
when Gray came in and began his
slashing and stabbing. / snatched up

his attacks but the old fellow ran out"
Gray sought refuge in the house OF

call sent from the neighborhood. Of
ficer Pierce said that Miller resisted ar

SAD TRAGEDY RECALLED
NJ. w. Wheeler's Suit Against

Fort Dodge, Sept IA case which,
because of the conditions from which
it sprung, is one Of the most sensational
of it's kind, was taken up in the dis
trict court here today The case is
that of NJ w. Wheeler VS.. the City
of Fort Dodge, the plaintiff claiming
damages to the extent of 100000, for
injuries sustained by him a year ago
last Fourth of July.
The case is an outgrowth of the
famous Rasmussen tragedy, which &C.
CURED here on the same date, and in
which Clara Rasmussen an unfortunate
performer, under the management OF
the De Eta Amusement Company,
while attempting to perform the haz-
ardous slide for life" as it is called,
fell a sheer drop of 100 feet from the
top of the court house tower and was
dashed to pieces on the pavement be-
low. The girl was to slide down an
inclined wire into net at it's foot, be-
ing incased for the purpose In har-
ness, which fitted about her arms and
shoulders, and was attached at the top
to a pulley, which ran upon the wire.
Watched by crowd of about 10000
people she mounted to the top of the
tower that fateful morning and fasten
ing her rigging about her slid off from
the roof The ill-starred girl had not
slid ten feet, however, when the rig
ging broke, and with a cry of despair
she shot thru the air, striking cor
nice of the building, which whirled her
head over heels on the downward flight.
Wheeler, who now sues the city was
at that time walking up the street
and just at the moment the accident
happened walked beneath the falling
girl, and was struck by her form. Miss
Rasmussen was found to be already
dead and it was thought that Wheeler
was also. Weeks Of nursing however.
brought him about all right and then
the suit was commenced. In a former
trial it was decided against the plain
tiff. He, however, appealed the case
and it is now before the court for the
second time. The best legal talent of
the city is employed on both sides and
both parties to the case are fighting it
to a standstill.
