Mis. Jessie Keith, was drowned
yesterday afternoon in a cistern in
the back yard of his grandparents'
homo. Mr. nnrl Mrs IiVj.I (nir nf
South Sioux City. The baby had
been playing alone in the yard. It
was not discovered that ho had been
drowned in the cistern until some

father is a soldier in .the United
States army and is now serving with

His wife has been making her

husband is in Franco ... Sum Nriin-
baugh, of Dakota City, Neb., an ex
tensive lanu owner and progressive
farmer and feeder, was on today's
trade with a car load of fed yearl
ings that were good enough to sell
at $16.00. extreme top price for the
day for this class of cattle. The 18
head averaged 820 pounds and were
some of Mr. Bridenbaugh's own
raising and feeding. He usually
feeds a load of yearlings out of his
big herd of Horefords and topping
the market has becomo an annual
occurrence for him, While he feeds
grade Ilerefordsoutof his own herd,
he believes in also fedding cheap cat
tle as ho stated that these make the
biggest profit as the spread in price
between the right good ones and the
commoner types permits a larger
profit on these kinds.
Sioux City Journal, 8th: Exami
natiou of all men who were classified
for either limited military service or
disqualified for active service took
place yesterday in Dakota county,
Neb. The medical advisory board
of the district made the examination.
It is probable that somo of the men
will be advanced from their present
class, it is said Eleven persons
Thursday night were arrested when
Chief of Police Henry Crane, of
South Sioux City, raided a dance
hall in the north end of town operat
ed by Mrs. Rosa Masie. Mrs, Manic
pleaded guilty to a charge of dis
turbing the peace when taken before
the police judge and was fined $10,
the other being dismissed. The
dance hall operated by Mrs, Maise
was ordered closed about two weeks
ago by the South Sioux City council.
Neighbors living near the hall pre
sented a petition asking that the
building be closed. According to
the petition, the dances continued
all night and no one in tho neighbor
hood could sleep. When tho placo
was ordered closed Mrs. Maine asked
permission to hold a dance. This
was denied her. She went ahead
and hold the dance. Chief Crane
was notified and wont to the placo,
arresting tho entire party. Those
arrested besides Airs. Maise gavo
their names as Fritz Schalfer, Jesse
Henrick, Mary Blair, James Ross(
Miss Pearl Martin, Julia Martin,
Lydo Lean, William Roberts?, Ed

Mill vhnlisnii uintrtrinir if ainnlr
wore made yesterday against the
Combination Bridge company by
Waul R. Burns, attorney for South
Siojx City, who completed his urgu
injnls in behalf of reduction of tolls.
I'he argument will be sent to Col.
Willard Young, at Kansas City, Mo.,
who ha been designated by the
gov- nt to investigate the con

od, and Mr. Evans' argument will
probably bo one of tho last papers
10 ue niea neiore uoi. xoung makes
his final recommendation to the war
department. Mr. Evans sets forth
that the actual value of the bridge
is less than 300,000. The company
has boon making enormous profits,
which the ofiicials have attempted
to concenl by claiming an unreason
able high Valuation and issuing large
blocks of watered stock, the attor
ney assorts. In estimatincr rpnsonn.
ble tolls, Mr. Evans would allow the
bridge company to chnrge enough
to mako 10 per cent profit on the
investment. The company earned
184 per cent in 1917, on a valuation
of $300,000, according to Mr. Evans.
He believes the profits in 191S will
be at least 20 per cent. The receipts
are constantly increasing, he states,
because of the rapid growth of
Sioux City, the development of tho
ndjacent country, and other import
nnd factors. With an income of 10
per cent, says the lawyer, the cor
poration could pay fi per cent inter
est on S300.000 worth nf hrmrfs. nro.
ate a 3 per cent sinking fund, and
have sufficient remaining to pay
good dividends on the watered stock,
Mr. Evans asks that automobile tolls
bo reduced from 20 cents to 15 cents.
The rato for teams should bo cut in
two, he urges. Commutation books
with 1 cent coupons should be sold,
he believes. Other tolls can stand
as they are without objection.
