COURT HOUSE AT YANKToN.
Magnificent New Building to Be Dedi,
Gated Soon. ~

Yankton, S. D., Oct. 17.-The new Yank-
ton county court house Is practically COM
plete and will be formally dedicated to the
use of the county Wednesday, November /.
The construction of the new building,
while it is a credit to the county and the
county board of commissioners under
whose supervision the work was done, en-
tailed the probable suicide OF one man,
damaged the reputation or two others, re-
flecred on the ability of the board of COM
missioners to protect the taxpayers, and
attracted attention to two men in correct
ing the mistakes and faults of others.
j. L. Englebreth. the original contractor,
died suddenly while visiting his family in
Beresford. At the time 1t was rumored
that he had committed suicide, but his
death was officially credited to heart dis
ease, without and inquest.
Shortly after his death serious defects
were foand to exist in the parts of the
building already completed. Large cracks
were apparent in the hard brick veneering
of the walls AND 1t was also discovered that
certain beams which, according to the
plans and specifications, should have sup
ported the second and third floors, were
missing. The floors; which were Of sement
and other heavy material, had sagsed con-
siderably, and to many, including the
commissioners, it looked as though the
structure was in danger of falling.
The commissioners faced the emergency
without tiincaing. Ed. Palmer, superin-
tendent of construction, and James Par
sons, architect, were Immediately relieved
from duty on behalf of the county.
Webster.Tonlinson, a Chicago architect,
and :. P. Hogan, a construction foreman
of the same. city, were induced to take
charge of the work of construction, with
instructions to correct the defects allowed
to creep in by their predecessors. Under
their magic touch the cracks in the We
neering nave disappeared, the sagging
floors nave been remedied and other de-
fects corrected until the building is u fit
rival for the new federal building recent
ly constructed in this city at an expense
OF $4,000 to the government. The court
house will cost s60,0 900, and besides being a
well constructed building is large enough
to accommodate the business of Yankton
county for many years to! come.
AT aArecent meeting of the board of COM
missioners it was decided to open the new
building with elaborate and appropriate
ceremony.
Senator R. J.. Gamble, chairman of the
dedication committee, at a recent meeting
announced the organization of the follow
Ing committees.
