ALkALi WATER CRUMBLES
CONCRETE ABUTMENTs

Belle Fourche, S. d. Aug. 30.-That
alkali in the water has TO some extent
offset the work Of the government ex-
perts who are completing the big dam
for the Belle Fourche irrigation prof.
est north of here, is shown in the
crumbling of portions of the concrete
work In the aqueducts. This process
OF crumbling was first discovered some
time 6 and the concrete work re-
paired, but the same thing occurred
again, Careful investigation and
analysis of the water led to the con-
clusion that the alkali was responsible,
for the crumbling only occurred where
the water runs over the concrete or
stands on it q couple of inches deep.
The entire outer layer of finishing coat
of concrete was eaten off. The experts
are of the opinion that when the water
is turned In from the Belle Fourche
river and the rain and snow water
swells the volume, hat it will cause
the alkali to be more evenly distributed
and will stop the eroding. The dam is
and a quarter miles long, 1872 feet
at Its highest point. and contains L.
500. 900 cubic feet Of earth,

LAWSUIT CHARGES
MALICIOUS USE OF
JUDICIAL PROCESS
Estranged Couple Make Up
and Sue Attorneys Who
Started Divorce Action.

Dell Rapids, S. D., Aug. 26.-"Mali-
cious use Of judicial process" What's
that? 1t is the technical title of a suit
filed for trial in circuit court for Min
nehaha county against Robertson &
Dougherty, attorneys of this place, by
William Fay as plaintiff. The charge
set forth in the complaint alleges that
Robertson & Dougherty began and
prosecuted a divorce suit in the name
of Gertrude Fay, wife OF the plaintiff,
without authority from her or any one
else. The defendants claim that they
were retained by Mrs. Fay to com
mence an action for divorce against
William Fay. This is denied by the
plaintiff in the damage case, which
calls for $1,000 from the attorneys.
After the proceedings were started
Fay and his wife got together and set
tied their differences, leaving the at
torneys holding an empty bag, and, it
is minated, an unpaid attorneys fee.
The trial of the case will come up at
the next term Of court at Sioux Falls.

SOUTH DAKOTA DEPOSITS
SHOW A DECREASE

Pierre, S. D., Aug. 27.-Individual de-
posits in both state and national banks
doing business in South Dakota, at the
call of condition on the Goth day of
June showed $79, 269, 265.77. This is a
reduction of 81, 626, 1880 from the show
ing OF the same funds on the call Of
March 20. This reduction is no doubt
from the Withdrawals OF cash for farm
ing operations, as the state banks show
a reduction of over SO, 900, 900 in their
checking accounts, and the nationals
show a reduction Of about 60, 200, 600,
while the savings accounts, and the
time certificates, themselves a species
crease will no doubt be wiped out by
the time of another report, when the
farmers will be getting returns for their
seasons work.
BY ar the heaviest deposits are
shown in the ASP state banks operating
in the state, as they were carrying
$50, 545, 536. 10; while the SO national
the state bands show q decrease Of
100000 in their checking accounts,
they show an increase of $131, 600 in
their direct savings accounts, and over
81, 900, 600 in their time certificates. The
national banks show savings accounts
of S1,250,000 and the state banks of
nearly $4,000, 900. These figures include
only Individual deposits, such as check
ing accounts, certificates of deposits,
and savings accounts, and do not at
tempt to show the deposits of banks
with one another, or the deposits of the
government. The showing is a good one
for a state with the population of South
Dakota, but will be much better after
he marketing of crops, and the de-
posts of the millions which the farm
ers will receive for grain and live stock
sold this year.

to have been the most fierce be-

hand himself and killed both

ABERDEEN REJECTS ACT
OF MAYOR A.. l.. ROCK

Aberdeen, S. D., Aug. 26.-After the
most bitter municipal campaign in
years, the voters Of Aberdeen, at a spe-
cial election yesterday, rejected the
ordinance fathered by Mayor Rock.
creating a city detective bureau, by a
vote OF 1878 against the ordinance to
BOZ for the ordinance. DR.. H. ]. Rock,
democrat, was elected mayor over A.
N. Aldrich, republican, at the city
election last May by a majority of close
to 500 out of a total vote of 2,400. The
chief of police, under Mayor Aldrich, was
Charles E. Zirbes. Zirbes became quite
unpopular, and shortly before election
resigned and ostensibly left the city.
He was an issue in the campaign, how
ever, the opponents to Mayor Aldrich
claiming that If Aldrich was reelected
he would re-appoint Zirbes.
Shortly after DR.. Rock was elected,
Zibres returned, and was appointed to
a place on the police force as a plain
clothes man. 1t was found the mayor
did not possess the power, under the
city ordinances, to make such a posi-.
ton permanent, and the friends of the
mayor and of Zirbes on the council
then passed an ordinance creating a
city detective bureau. Mayor Rock
thereupon appointed ZirbeS chief Of de-
tectlves with the same salary as that
received by the chief of police. A ref,
rendum petition was presented, asking

ton. Mayor Rock threw the petition
out on q technically. The council
later took the matter up, accepted the
petition and called a special election,
which was held yesterday, resulting in
the defeat of the ordinance. During
the campaign numerous affidavits re-
latlng to Iirbes alleged shortcomings
