Rioux City Journal. 21: If the poss
ibilities, which yesterday morning were
suggested by A D Bennett at the al
flee of the HTnitod Statea engineer
should become realities, South Slox
City and Covington would be swept
away by the Missouri river. Mr Den
nett did not presume to predict tbat
the river would out up. any such seri
ous tantrnma, but he did urge the ad
visability ot the- government's taking
quick action to- avert the possibility,
and the deputy engineer in Hioax City
thought well enough of Lis recommend
ation to assure a quick report to Capt
Sohnlxin Kansas City. Air Bennett
reported that the stream at a point a
bout one mile and a naif above tne
combination bridge had broken through
he revetment, and indications are
that it mav form a new ekannel. Two
breaks in the nprapping are reported.
but only one is deemed serious. If the
waters of the river persist in seeking
a new course, the combination bridge
and the high bridge will be left span
ning a space of marsh land, with the
river to the south. '1 no continued cut
ting behind th revetment not only
would mean the washing away of land,
but the destruction of the revetment
itself, which was installed at a big ex
pease. The first land which would be
affected lv a change in the course of
the stream is owned by Mr Bennett,
whose property consists of fifty-five
acrca and lies about twenty yards
from the most serious break. Mr Ben
nett was one of the first to note the
break ahd call the attention of the en
gineer'a office to it.

Sionx City Journal, 18th : Believing
that bia 13-year-old daughter, Goldie
Priest, Lad eloped with Will Knudson,
27 years of age, 1 rank Priest made a
reoord drive from Homer, Nebr, to
Sioux City yesterday in pursuit ot the
pair. Before the father arrived, both
the girl and the man had been taken
into custody by the polioe. The fran
tic father early in the day notifW the
police by telephone that his daughter
was in the city, probably at the Col
umbia hotel, Third and Water streets,
and that she probably would be joined
eoou by Knudson. (Jffloer Silver looa
ted the girl at the hotel and kept her
under close surveillance for nearly two
hours before Knudson put in an ap
pearanoe. The man walked by the
aitting room and motioned to the girl
to come outside. Before they bad time
to exhange a greeting thry were taken
into custody. The girl at first seemed
perfectly self possessed, but wept bit
terly upon the arrival of her father.
Knudson, who came to the city Satur
day morning, aaid he had uo intention
of runoing-away with the girl, but
that aha waa dissatisfied with her home
and came here of her own aooord. He
had, he aaid, volunteered to assist in
seouring a situation for her. The girl
left home without the knowledge of
her patents. She told her father that
she waa glad he came for her and that
she never agaiu would leave Lome.
Mr Priest waa informed by a livery
man at Homer that Da, Lis 15-year-old
daugter, tried to seoure a rig with
which to ooine to Sioux City yesterday
morning, but that the vehicle was re
fused her. It waa thought she might
ariive on the evening Burlington traiu,
and an offioer waa sent to watch for
her, but ahe was not seen. Priest is a
farmer, but lives in town. Knudson,
who met the girl while' boarding at the
Prieat home. Las not worked for some
time. The polioe decided that there
were not sufficient grounds to warrant
filing a charge against him and he was
released. .

WHICTORm
Whoa the Ransom decided to break
ground for their now home, It was. dis
covered thnt the turf was so solid that
It could be broken only by the plow, so
Napoleon Lazotte- was engaged to at
tend to the matter. Lnaotte, however,
was much in demand for all kinds of
odd Jobs, so on the apiKilnted day, al
though he appeared with his horse and
plow, both of which he was willing to
rent for the day, he explained that he
himself had business elsewhere wthat
would keep him busy for several hours.
The plow worked well, but wlthiP
half an hour after Napoleon's depar
ture the horse came to n standstill, nnd
refused to budge. Headings and
threats were of no- nvnll. Half a dozen
different persons essayed to start her,
but seemingly the stubborn nag had
taken root for nil time.
When Lazotte returned at noon Mr.
Ransom reproached him for the mare's
fcehrtvlor.
Dobo Vlctorlne," explained Iizotte,
Jauslbly, "ees lonesome for soni' on
versaslone hon hees hown tongue, lie
nor, monsieur. You mus' talk to beem
all de talme, Jus' lak dis. Me, I vlll
show you. But me, I'll am 'nve de nils
fortune to be busy for dese whole day.
But take heart, 1 leave you ma Vlc
torlne, an' ees tole you Jus how for
talk to dose 'orse, Attendez, monsieur.
"Hey!'' yelled Lazotte, suddenly
seizing the reins. "Wat for you ees
sit down hon top yourself hall 'day?
Wat for you ees mak shame for nie?
God np, you son of soni' musk rat! Wut
you aoppose I'll am bought you for?
Wat for you aoppose I buy for you hall
dose hoat, dose hay, dose harness? For
yon to sat down Ink hoptoad? Muis
non, ma Vlctorlne! Eet ees for you
to tr-r-rot, to r-r-r-ron, to gallopo
gallope, I say! Llf up dose lalg, dose
hoof, dose tall! Mali -hon yourself
som' hump! Ron, r-r-r-ron! Hey!
hey! hey!
"Behol', monsieur," said Napoleon,
lowering bis voice and handing the
reins to the renter of the horse, as
Vlctorlne came to life and moved off,
"you talk to beem Jus' lak dat you
got ho more troub', I assure you."
