In falling.the poles carried down the wires of the'Bell Telephone company and feed wires of the Crys tal lake and Dakota City electric railway. As a result traffic on the road was paralyzed for a time. Temporary repairs enabled cars to reach a pojnt about half a mile from the South Sioux City terminal last evening. The telephone service be tween Sioux City, Omaha and Nor folk will be hampered until the poles have beeii reset. In Sioux City the only damage was to the telephone, companies. Lines were down in va rious parts of the city as a result of the storm. At first it was feared that fruit blossoms had been dam- aged by the hail, but investigation in orchards showed that few blos soms had been destroyed. Most of the fruit trees have reached full bloom.

Pranger, of Wakefield, Neb., and Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Neiswang'er, of Dakota City, Neb .... Sioux City people -who yes terday experienced a touch of real summer weather did not realize that just thirty-five years ago mammoth ice cakes filled the Missouri river at this point from bank to bank,"result ing in one of the most disasterous floods in the history of the city. Some of the older residents grew reminiscent of the big flood of 1881, when all of the cities along the big stream, even as far south as Kansas City and St. Joseph," Mo., were threatened with destruction.1 G. W. Kingsnorth, one of the early mayors of Sioux City, who now is in charge of the tollhouse on the combination bridge, yesterday told of 'the high waters and the scare which gripped the people of the city for several days. The flood did the rriost dam age on the Nebraska side of the riv er, the town of Covingtonn being Eartially wiped out. Seven or eight ouses at one time were almost com pletely under water.- In Sioux City the flood did its greatest damage in the vicinity of Court street. The flood was caused by the breaking of ice -gorges at Chamberlain, S. D., and in the Redwood hills. It was over a week before the river fell to its normal level, according to Mr. Kingsnorth , The flood caused great er damage at Council Bluffs than, it did here. The waters there were crowded up into the main streets of the city and the damage to property was enormous. Most of the people living along the river be tween here and. Council bluffs were given warning of the impending danger, but despite this a number of lives were lost. A half dozen houses were carried away on the high waters, immmmssMmsm, Sioux City Journal, 5: A complete denial of the allegations contained in the application for an injunction restraining the supervisors of drain age district No 2 of Dakota county, Neb., from digging a ditch which will flow into Jackson' lake, is made by Judge R. E. Evans in his answer in the United States district court at Omaha. The next step in the le gal battle over the construction of the ditch will be a hearing before Judge J. W. Woodrough,' whose ap pointment to the federal bench re cently wasconfirmed by the senate. In his answer Judge Evans contends that the land ownerd who have ask ed for the restraining order are not within the limits of the drainage district, and that their property will not be damaged by the digging of the ditch. The answer further as serts that the plans of the improve ment show that the ditch will be able to takecare of all storm waters and there will be no overflow of the lake caused by the influx of the water. Practically every allegation of the plaintiffs, except the owner ship of the land, is denied in the answer. It is expected that Judge Woodrough will fix a date for a hearing in the course of the next week. The hearing will take to Omaha about twenty witnesses who will be called by both sides A Chautauqua, tc commence about the middle of June and to be conducted two afternoons and two evenings a week for six weeks, will be held at Crystal lake park this summer if plans outlined at a meeting hold in Knowlton & Manning's hall at South Sioux City last evening are carried out.. More than-thirty people, rep resenting Sipux City, South Sioux Cityand Dakota City, took7 part in the meeting. An organization to be known as the Crystal Lake Chautau qua association was formed and the following officers were elected: D. G. Evans, .mayor of South Sioux City, president; Fred. Wood, Dakota City, secretary-treasurer; and James Coveny, J. J. Eimers and Ira How ard, of South Sioux City, J. Edgar Mills, of Sioux City, and Sidney Frum, of Dakota City, members of executive committee. Mr. Howard, who is manager of Crystal lake park, expects to provide attractions in ad dition to those of the chautauqua. The closing of contracts for enter tainers is to he left to the executive committee, which will hold its first meeting at the Commercial club in Sioux City next Monday evening at 8 o'clock. The meeting in Sioux City was held at the suggestion of Mr. Mills, who Will arrange for the use of a committee room at the Commercial club. Sioux City Journal, 4: Miss Bes sie Hughes, of Homer, Neb., who has been the guest of Miss Edna Morrison, 3221 Orleans evenue, has returned home .... Provided the Bur lirigton railroad can buy its electrici ty from South Sioux City it will erect a large coal hoist at Laketon, near Crystal lake. Cottages at Crys tal lake will bo lighted by electricity if the South Sioux City council grants the application of lake resi dents to bjy the current from the municipal plant. . . .Constitutionality of the Iowa law under which search warrants are obtained was upheld b County Attorney 0. T. Naglestad and Assistant County Attorney J. W. Kindig yesterday afternoon in argu ments before Justice D. C. Brown ing in opposition to the motion of council for the Intersiate Transpor tarson company to quash the search warrant on which $1,000 worth of beer, whisky and wines was taken from its warehouse. The county's attorneys contend that the notation on the search warrant that the case was in police court instead of a jus tice court was surplusage. They further contended that the issuauce of the warrant by the justice was in accordance with the law. They de clared a police court could not issue a search warrant. Justice Brown ing, after hearing the arguments, took the case under advisement. He probably will make his ruling be fore Saturday. Howard a. Baron, attorney for the express firm, con tended that the search warrant pro ceedings were irregular. Barney Kopel, manager of the company, filed an appearance in the case. The seized liquor now, however, is out of the jurisdiction of the Woodbury county courts, having been returned to Jackson, Neb., by the transporta tion company, which obtained it on a writ of replevin. Attorney Bar pn not only attacked the regularity of the search wurrant proceedings, but he also attacked the jurisdiction of the justice court. Ho argued that the affidavit of Rev. C. N. Mc Millan, of the Woodbury County Antisaloon league, to obtain the war rant, was contrary to the provisions of the code. He further held that when Rev. McMillan applied for the warrant, Justice Browning failed to examine the antisaloon league offi cial under oath, and that the war rant obtained by Rev. Mr. McMillan did not state probable cause for a search of the company's ware house. Mr. Baron also argued on the improper return made on the warrant to police court instead of to Justice Browning's court. Ho con tended that this was a fatal variance and destructive to the police depart ment's case. Looking Backward.

Wilbur, postmaster of S"i.':. "ioux City, was chosen an al-ten-. .delegate to the democratic national convention by the conven tion of bolters held at Lincoln. Sioux City Journal, May 5, 189G: II. A. McCormick, of the South Sioux City Democrat, is in Chicago on business If the business at present being done by the street cars which cross the Pacific Short, Lino bridge can be taken as a crite rion, the lino to south Sioux City will bo one of the best paying branches of the traction company. Sioux City Journal, May C, 187G: The match game of baseball yester day afternoon between the Dakota City club and the Sioux resulted in a victory for the former by a score of 30 to 18. The Dakota City boys played welt and are a husky looking set of follows. There were only two members of the Sioux team in the game George Hicks and Parke the rest being picked from the crowd, and there were only seven players at that. It is altogether likely that the Dakota City boys could have held the Sioux down about level had the latter been or ganized and in practice. The result of the game will no doubt bring about another contest before long. Sioux City Journal, May 6, 189G: The South Sioux City Traction com pany probably will build a loop at the south terminus of its street car line in order that the cars may stop at the platform of the Omaha depot.
