YANkTON ESCAPES PAYMENT
FOR A DEFECTIVE BRIDGE

Sioux Falls, s. D., March BY a
technicality the city Of Yankton. as the
result Of litigation in the United States
court in this city, will escape the pay
ment of 50, 295, the contract price for a
bridge erected across Rhine creek in
that city by John e. Quackenbush, a
bridge contractor. The city was not
satisfied with the bridge, and refused
to pay for 1t. Qu~ackenbush 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 the city of Yank-
ton a exceeded the limit of it's in
.debtedness, which under the state con-
stitution is limited to not more than
5 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 H.
legal and void under the provisions Of
the state constitution fixing the limit
of Indebtedness which a city or a town
can incur.

man Who deserted his wife and child
last fall and eloped with Mrs. Baird.
The man induced Don to go on the
promise Of seeing his brother and moth
err. They left the city In the afternoon

with a railroad speeder who gave them
a ride to Plana, the first town east Of

The police at Breckenridge nabbed the
boy but the man slipped away. Search

Mitchell Defeats Il.

Mitchell, S. D., Feb. 2S.-At the spe-
cial election yesterday the adoption
Of h commission plan of city gov
eminent was defeated by the majority
of 1886 votes. The active advocates
Of h plan did not canvas the city
until the last few days and the oppo-
sition which developed against 1t was
too strong to permit 1t to carry.
The question was fought out along
the line of the a~dvisability OF the
principle as applied to Mitchell, which
has always been under very repre-
sentative heads. The crying need for
the plan al adopted in various cities
III not seem to be felt locally to the
extent that the voters wished to adopt
another system of municipal control.
The plan lost in each Of the four
wards of the city, the smallest ma
1ority being recorded against 1t was
81. The vote was very light.
Mitchell is the econd city in South
Dakota to reject the plan, the other,
being Watertown. Sioux Falls has
the plan in operation and Huron and
Yankton have voted to adopt 1t.
