Election on the Laddusaw families.
The facts leading up to the recent
case are these. In the year 1862
William Laddusaw enlisted in the
Union army. In the spring Of "a,
believing herself TO be a widow, the
mother of the defendants contracted
another marriage, proved beyond a
doubt by the sworn testimony of the
man she married, also by the photo
graphed records Of said marriage,
found in the court house Of Cass
county, Iowa. She lived with this man
for several months when she learned
that VIM. Laddusaw was still living;
then she returned to her parents.
where in due course Of time the plain
tiff in the case was born. On William

This arrangement was V ques

Laddusaw, who during a life OF hard
work, with the help Of the defend

puts in a claim for an equal share
of the estate. Mr.. Laddusaw's heirs
refused to be blackmailed without &

word Of disrespect to the honor ol

brought out at the trial until the bruta
and inhuman attack of the Opposing
attorney in his closing address.

BIG SIOUX MAKES TROUBLE

Bookings county is far from being
the drainage of the Sioux river valley
wherein great havoc Is wrought each
spring because of floods for at the
present time the city of Sioux Falls
in litigation over the assessment Of
property to pay for warrants issued
for the construction of certain spill
ways and dams on the Big Sioux
river. The following account Of the
case from the Argus-Leader will be
of interest to Brookings county people
living in the Sioux valley:
For many years the farmers in the
Big Sioux valley, north Of the city of
the city of Sioux Falls, were troubled
with periodical overflows of their
lands at the time Of spring freshets
and of extraordinary summer rains.
In 1907 a system Of drainage bitches
were constructed to relieve the agri-
cultural lands north of the city during
the periods Of unusual flowage Of wa
ter. This system of bitches was very
expensive and was paid for by assess
ment upon the lands in the drainage
area. The outlet to the ditch system
was into the Big Sioux river through
a hill north Of the p~enitentiary.
In the spring of 1916 the concrete
work upon the outlet to the ditch
system was washed out and the water
began cutting through the hill to such
an extent that 1t threatened to make
a new channel for the river. The re-
suit of the action of the water had it
not been interrupted, would have been
to have diverted the course of the
river SO that It would have ceased fiow-
ing through the city of Sioux Falls.
leaving. the only water to go over the
falls that coming from Skunk creek.
The city of Sioux Falls obtains it's wa
ter supply from a gravel bed situated
q ! basin north OF the city, and had
the course of the river been diverted
the gravel bed would have been
drained and the city left without a
municipal water supply.
various projects were suggested ior
tho control OF the water lowing
throurh the drainage bitches. the
man finally adopted was to construct
