APPRAISERS DISAGREE ON
HOWARD LIGHTING piANr

Howard. S. D., Dec. There is a
serious hitch in the requirement by the
city of Howard OF the electric light
system which now supplies the town.
AT special electio recently the voters
authorized the city council to take a
plunge into municipal ownership by
purchasing the electric light system if
satisfactory price could be agreed
upon. A board of appraisers was APP
pointed but cannot agree upon the
price, and now is deadlocked.
The board of appraisers is made up
OF Messrs. Ryan, of Sioux Falls; Hol-
den, of Watertown, and Putnam, of
Huron. The latter is a civil engineer
whom Ryan and Holden agreed upon
as the third member of the board. The
members of the board here made writ
ten reports to the city council. Mr..
Ryan, who was selected by the city re-
ports the value of the electric light
plant at $4,000. Messrs. Holden and
putnam. while practically agreeing that
$4,000 was a fair price, fixed $4,000
as the price which they thought the
city should pay
The matter now goes to the voters
iof l1nal determination, as it is be-
leyed a special election will be called
ana the question submitted to them,
whether the city shall pay $4,000 for
the system

not in her right mind. has been caus"
Ing Burlington railroad authorities
considerable trouble at the union depot
during the past three days. She ar
Cived from Hastings. Ia, bound Tor
Blandinsville, H., but refused to board
the H., p. & w. train. which left for the
Illinois town in the afternoon. She
was cared for by the police matrcn and
Mt the depot. and then sent back to
Hastings in charge of a railroad Off
cial Monday she was one of the first
passengers to step off No. 2. the train
from the west. and depot officers are
making preparations to send her to
Elandinsville.
From appearance the woman is
about so years of age. and from her
clothing appears to he wealthy She
wears magnificent furs. and her cloth

Is of costly material, and shows that
1t came from the shop of a first rate

Beyond her reluctance to board the
Grain for Blandinsville, and a strange
refusal to answer all inquiries as to.
her identity, she is quiet and self con-
tanned. Kind women passengers at the
station have made efforts to learn her
identity. but she persistently refuses
to answer all Questions in regard to
her name.
Patient questioning has elected the
admission that she has an adopted
daughter in Hastings and a married
sister in Blandinsville. 1t is believed
that she has been visiting with her
adopted daughter in Hastings and an
effort is being made to send her to the
sister she has in Blandinsville
