COURT RENDERS DECISION
FOR OLD WATER COMPANY

Sioux Falls, S. D., March 29.-An-
other chapter has just been written in
the long drawn out litigation between
the city of Sioux Falls and the old
water company, by a decision of Judge
Garland, of the United States court,
bearing on amounts claimed to be due
from the old company to the city, and
claimed by the company to
be due from the city.
For the period when the city was
prevented by an injunction from COM
pleting a municipal waterworks sys-
TEN, the injunction having been Sc
cured by the old water company, Judge
Garland allows the city damages at
the rate of Z per cent interest on the
money invested In the city waterworks
plant for the period of II months that
the Injunction was in force, the sum
invested being fixed at 5000. 900. The
sum allowed the city in interest and
damages will aggregate about SIS, 900,
This including the cost of the injunc-
ton suit.
Judge Garland also allows the re-
celVer of the old water company to re-
cover for hydrant rentals, service for
street sprinkling and city fountains,
Tor a period extending from January 1,
1901, to February Is, 1907, an amount
reaching approximately $50, 900. De-
quoting the sum allowed the city, this
VIII leave a alance in favor of the Old
water company of something between
$4,000 and $4,000. 1t is believed this
decision will be satisfactory to both
parties interested, thus ending the
litigation after it had been pending for
a nlIlnber of yearS.

OFFENDER is ExILED
FROM TRIP COUNTY

Colome, S. D., March 29--EXile from
Trip county for a period of six months
was the punishment melted out by the
local authorities to an undesirable citi-
zen, in the person of William d. Howe,
who was known during his s~ojourn hero
under the assumed name of Billy
Smith. He is a heavy drinker, and
while in ar Intoxicated condition be-
came involved in q difficulty with Gro
yer Simons, a Colome citizen, and
threatened to kill Simons and burn all
his buildings. His threats caused ST.
mons to have him arrested. When his
case was called for preliminary hearing
he asked permission to go into a back
room of the building in which the JUS
tice has his office. Nc sooner was the
door closed than Howe made a dash for
liberty. After a lively and exciting
chase he was re%captured and brought
back to the court room. After hearing
the testimony the justice gave Howe
five hours to get out of town and or
dered that he remain out of the county
for six months. If he returns before
the expiration of that period he will
be heavily fined and compelled to fur
nish a bond to keep the peace. Howe
is said to have originally hailed from
Wakefield, Neb.

RIVER CONGRESS
BOOSTS RIVER FOR
TRANSPORTATION
Pierre Will Hold One of Five
Gatherings to Unite Forces
to Perfect System.

Pierre. S. D., March 26,-With the
| opening of the South Ike water
ways convention here Tuesday or next
week, a series of five conferences VIII
begin, to be held in as many states,
and closing with the fourth annual
! meeting of the Missouri River NaVlga-
ton congress to be neld IN Kansas oi's
the latter part of the summer.
The object of all these conferences
| and meetings is to ~encourage the use
of the Missouri river for
ton. Already the Missouri River Nav
jgation congress feels it has accom-
plished a great deal in bringing all the
| cities in the Missouri valley together,
eliminating the jealousy which former
~ existed between the upper n lower
river cities, and getting the various IN
terests together.
This is the condition of on
the river at present: The Benton
Packet company has eight boats a.d a
score of barges to begin business when
the river is safe this spring. They will
ply between Bismarck, Wilton. Wash
burn, Coal Harbor. Expansion. Beapolls
and Williston, N. d, being operated by
telephone like trains moving between
stations. Docks and marine legs for
loading and unloading grain have been
constructed to handle grain in the bulk,
several elevators having been erected
along the river. The government will
make permanent landings for this COM
pany at Bismarck.
Kansas City is completing the sub
scriptions to 81, 600, 900 of stock to put
q boat line on the river from hat city
to ST. Louis.
With such men as Congressman J.
p. Latta, of Nebraska, behind it, an
independent line is being organized,
known as the Missouri Valley Trans
%portation company which expects to
run boats from st. Louis to Kansas
City and Omaha. The company is now
seeking to pledge a large amount of
tonnage in Omaha and desires to Sc
cure the same amount to and from
Sioux City to enable them to operate
boats to that city.
Captain j. S. Stevens. of Fort Ben
ton, with ]. Fl. S~tranahan. attorney and
capitalist, and John Brown, president
of the First National bank, of Fort
Benton, proposes to operate boats reg
ularly between Fort Benton and Will
liston, N. D., if not between Fort Ben
ton and Bismarck, N. D.
This a but a comparatively short
stretch of the $500 miles of the Missou-
ri rivers navigable length, from Bis
marck south to Omaha. which is not
actually prepared to use the river the
coming season. The upper river from
Bismarck to Fort Benton is in excellent
shape for navigation. 1t requires only
the occasional blasting Of rocks and the
maintenance of landings to make it
navigable from April to December.
Governor John Burke. of North Da-
kota, president of the Missouri River
Navigation congress, and Will A.
Campbell, of Omaha, observation-disclosures

Before he went to the saloon where
Stephens tended bar, Dode purchased
a revolver at a hardware store and
then with a, number of cowboys enter

INDIAN AGENCY WILL
HAVE INVESTIGATION

Pierre, S. D., March 29.-For several
years there have been rurcors of trouble
at Crow Creek Indian agency, and
charges Of different kinds in regard to
the management have been floating.
Several Investigations have been made,
out nothing definite appeared to have
resulted until this week. When
Inspector Allen, after putting in
several months, has placed Spec
ial Agent c. L. Ellis in charge.
The principal complaints appear to
have beer in the way of claims of fav-
oritism in disposal of property. Since
the change, Special Agent Ellis has sent
out a circular letter in which he says.
"All parties are hereby notified that
the penalties of sections 2137 and 213S
of the Revised Statutes of the United
States, wiz be imposed if live stock is
sued by the government, the issue
thereof or the hides therefrom are
found in their possession, or have
passed through their hands, without
being accompanied by the proper per-
init from the agent.
Property of all kinds which is pur-
chased from trust funds derived from
sale of allotment of lands, is also
held in trust, n cannot be conveyed
or encountered. Whenever any such
property is found in the possession of
parties without authority therefore, it
must be returned to his agency, or
information given as to where it can
be found. or suit will be recommended
for its recovery in the United States
court
The placing of a special agent in
charge undoubtedly means a thorough
overhauling the affairs of the agency
ana getting down to the bottom Of all
charges, to find whether they are mere
ak or W. foundation enough on
which to take action.

Two Prominent Watertown
Men Lost Lives in Clear
Lake Last November.

W~atertown, S. D., March 2S.-Clea1
lake. a luck slough Is miles south of
W~atertown, yesterday gave up it's dead
when the bodies of Jerry Kelly and
William Johnson were recovered after
being in the water ever since last No
vember. The bodies are in good con-
dition considering the time they have
been under water and ice. and were
found about half a mile apart drifting
on the surface, the ice having broken
up only last night. John Jeremy, of
saltwater, Mimi, a professional body
raiser, found them about half an hour
before two Watertown men sent out
by the city council to establish a camp
from which to prosecute a search, ar
rived on the scene
The tragedy occurred On the morning
of November 5, 1909, when the two
young men left their camp on the shore
of the lake to row across to the other
side and take advantage of the early
morning flying of the ducks. Their
companion in camp watched the boys
row away till their boat was lost to
sight in the rushes on the other side
of the lalle-the last that was ever seen
of them alive. When they did not re-
turn in the afternoon or evening their
partner became worried and made the
circuit of the lake calling to them and
signalling for them. But he found no
trace of them and so came to town and
quickly spread the alarm. Searching
parties were at once organized and
from then till the lake froze up several
weeks later, scores of men and boats
covered the surface of the lake, but re-
covering only the caps of the lost
boys. Finally the freezing of the water
ended the search for the winter.
Will Johnson left a young wife and
his mother to mour his loss. Jerry
Kelly was not married, but was one of
the most popular members of the
Fourth regiment band of this city, was
formerly private secretary to Senator
kittredge and we'll known in Brook
ings college circles.
