The Ortonville Journal says about the
toughest gangs of alleged harvest hands
which have ever visited this section are
now in evidence in all parts Of the coun-
ty and are at work remarkably early this
year. A murder at Odessa, a highway
robbery at Ortonville, an attempt at
arson at Graceville, with several villages
to hear from, is the record of the week
in this county. Every year the harvest
brings the toughs and crooks from the
cities. They will not work, but feed like
vultures, on the poor unfortunate harvest
worker, who earns a tidy sum to be final
ly held up by these toughs. No idle man
should be allowed to remain in town for
more than twenty-four hours. There is
work for all who desire to labor and
there should be no place in this county
where the toughs can ply their nefarious
calling and the officers should be ever
vigilant to rid the community Of the pro-
fessional toughs.
