TRACTION PRESIDENT SUES
CITY FOR $4,000 DAMAGES

Sioux Falls, s, D., Sept. 2.--As a Sc
quel to the recent difficulty between
the city authorities Of Sioux Falls and
President Mills. of the Sioux Falls
Traction company. President Mills has
commenced an action by which he seeks
to recover damages in the sum OF $780,
600 from the city.
Papers in the case have been served
on Mayor Burnside, City Commissioner
Mundt and other city officials. The
trouble was the outgrowth of the city
forcibly moving some of the track of
the company on street which is being
paved in the business district
In addition to seeking to recover
damages in the sum stated, President
Mills also asks for an injunction pre-
venting the city from interfering fur
Their with the tracks and appurtenances
of the traction company.
1t is not believed that this action
will interfere with the completion of
the Phillips avenue paving, but 1t may
prevent the removing of the tracks of
the traction company TO the center of
the street between Seventh and Eighth
streets. City officials profess not to be
worried by the damage suit.

ORDER RESIDENTS
OF PARIS SUBURBS
TO DESTROY HOMES

Paris Sept Residents within the
zone of the city's Qualifications must
prepare to evacuate and raze their
homes. The order has gone out from
the French war office and must be
obeyed TO the letter.
Many of those who live within the
specified distance OF the great forts are
occupying the houses in which their
families have lived for many genera
tons; others are wealthy Parisians,
who maintain great social establish
ments in country villas within motoring
distance OF the city.
The greatest harship of course Is
worked on the peasant classes. Raisers
OF much of the fancy produce for the
great hotels of the metropolis operate
small farms I'm the outskirts Of the city.
The able men of such families are all
at the front leaving only the women
children and old men to look after the
corps The order TO evacuate and de-
stroy all structures has thrown many
householders into helpless panic. IT
is considered altogether likely here that
military aid will be rendered them in
carrying out the order.
The plan of the French war depart
ment is to render the territory, that
will be swept by the fort guns, as near
ly barren of shelter places as possible.
The Notifications occupy the highest
points in the 400 square mile zone OF de-
Tense lines and natural projections for
an approaching enemy are few.

i'm wide circle about two miles outside
OF the inner wall which surrounds
Paris. They lie for the most part
among famous suburban towns such as
Neuilly, Versailles, Vincennes, and
sweep every approach to the city. 1t
is assumed that the governors order is
intended to clear the way in front OF
these defenses that no protection will
be afforded an advancing enemy.

complaining that antelope are materi-

is no recourse against the animal. For
some years past antelope have been

enter and feed upon the alfalfa fields
OF the ranchers in that section. The
latter assert that they have repeatedly
driven the antelope out Of the fields
but are unable to prevent them from
returning and they have petitioned the
state authorities TO see IL there is nc
means of relief against the depreda-

as to the sinking of the third German
cruiser, which now appears to have
been the Ariadne.
THE British destroyers exposed them
selves to considerable risk in endeavor-
ing to save as many as possible OF the
German sailors. British officers pres
ent vouch for the fact that German Of
ficers were firing at their own men in
the water with pistols and that several
were shot before their eyes,
Under these peculiar circumstances
a destroyer was actually picking up
wounded with her boats, when she was
driven off by the approach OF another
German cruiser and had to leave two
OF her boats, containing one officer and
nine men, behind. II was feared that
these would be made prisoners, but
happily a submarine arrived and
brought the British party home.
AS II was not possible to accomnlo-
date the 80 Germans in the submarine,
they were allowed TO return home in the
boat In charge OF a lieutenant who was
not wounded.
THE compliments of the five Ger
man vessels, known to have been sunk,

which the officials of tho Com

ner, wired 10 Chicago news
paper in answer To an inquiry as 70
the truth OF the claim Of THOMAS
Evans. a South Dakota man, that ne
had S10O,O 900 deposited in the bank
Evans is the man who during the
past year has visited several cities IN
the east and announced himself as o
wealthy South Dakota ranchman
searching for wife. He recently APP
peared in Chicago and told fantastlc
tail about his Importance in south ia
kota, claiming he had three ranches,
big general merchandise store AT
Greenwood (Yankton Indian agency
and 700-acre farm in western limos.
He stated that now that he had MADE
his pile, he wanted to retire and had
visited Chicago for the purpose OF get
ting a wife He is quoted as saying:
II don't care IL she Is blonde or
brunei and don't want any woman
with money, II she's about my age (4il
or under. II will be all right, and don't
mind IL she Is q widow--that is prov1d-
ing she hasn't too many children: she
won't have to do a lick of work the
rest of her days"
Evans either Is demented on the suo-
Ject OF matrimony or he is the cham
pion joker OF the state. To those who
know him we'll In South Dakota he is a
very ordinary man. and has but little
wealth. Instead of owning big gen.
eral merchandise store at Greenwood,
his place OF business there is little
candy store It is said that he uses D
rubber stamp for his letter heads, hav-
ing an apparent aversion toward print
ing establishments, and that his dreams
of private secretary, who Is taking
caro- OF his 100000 In cash, are without
the slightest foundation.
On a prior occasion when Evans
invaded the east and announced
to the world that he wanted a wife he
induced a 19-year-old girl to marry
him in the east, in spite OF the fact
that he already had wife at Green
wood. The authorities took the matter
up and the result was that Evans was
given short term in Jail upon being
convicted of bigamy. Now he Is look
ing for another wife.
