Five good husky tramps were picked
up on the streets yesterday afternoon
and when presented with picks and
shovels to do duty for the city settled
back and refused TO obey. They were
then chained together and promenaded
up and down the principal streets, at
tracing as much attention as circus pa
rade. Mankato is no place for a tramp
TO light down upon.

be one of unusual interest; many mem
beers from different parts of the State
have promised to be present, and good
time is anticipated.
The case of Rustemeyer vs. the City of
was settled Wednesday by the

could have secured judgment for at
least a thousand dollars for their client.
The city side of the case has no reason
to find fault with the settlement.
