Is Fruitless.

'ously disappeared about a week ago
after leaving a note. which was found
by his wife, in which he stated that
he was going away. but gave no idea
of his destination. The letter or note
was written in a manner indicating
that the missing man had lost his mind.
1t has been learned that after writing
the note he packed w or three grips
n o a passenger train for Sioux
Falls. He has been traced up to the
time he left the train in Sioux Falls,
but that is the last that has been seen
or heard of him.. T'he Colman brother,
who is here conducting the search,
states that the missing MAJ had been
studying very hard If ate and that
with other cares worrying him, it is
probable he has become temporarily
demented and is wandering aimlessly
around the country in the vicinity OF
Sioux Falls. The missing man is an
Englishman. He is about 20 years of
age smooth face, lark wavy hair, about
6 feet tall and weighs about 1865 pounds.

investigate the recent accidental death
by shooting of Eddie Below. a youth,

effect that Below and his two boy
companions were walking side by side
In a corn field when a rabbit started
from a point near them. All three
fired their guns at the rabbit, and by
some means which the other boys were
unable to explain, a part of the charge

YANkroN ESCAPES PAYMENT
FOR A DEFECTIVE BRIDGE

Sioux Falls, 8. D., March 2.-By Q
technicality the city of Yankton, as the
result Of litigation in the United States
court in this city, will escape the pay
ment Of 1926, the contract price for a
bridge erected across Rhine creek in
that city by John E.. Quackenbush. q
bridge contractor. The city was not
satisfied with the bridge. and refused
to pay for it. Quackenbush then insti-
tuted an action in the federal court in
this city, and some weeks ago a jury
returned a verdict awarding him the
amount Of his claim, with interest. The
city then raised the question that at
the time the contract with Quacken-
bush was entered into h city Of Yank-
ton had exceeded the limit Of its in
~debtedness, which under the state con-
stitution is limited to not more than
S per cent Of the assessed valuation.
AS this was a law point it was argued
before Judge Garland, of the federal
court. who in substance now has de-
cided that the bridge contract was IL
legal and void under the provisions OF
the state constitution fixing the limit
of Indebtedness which a city or q town
can incur.
