"He gave me to understand that Sen

said We would see Smith and go into
the matter further"
Layton then told of Sullivan, Smith
and himself going to the Madison
house, and added "Just then Senator
stepped over and joined Senator Far

Smith had talked with Farris."
Sullivan denied that he ever made
any proposal to Layton to secure three
votes for the sum of $4,000, and charg-

Hundreds of men who passed through
Minneapolis en- route to different parts
of North and South Dakota within the
last month are returning penn1leSs,
having found the country overstocked
with labor.
The vigilance of police officials in the
larger cities keeps many of these men
from seeking employment in them, and
causes horde of unemployed and IN
some cases desperate men to congre-
gate in small towns where the chance
of arrest is more remote.
The small towns in Hennepin and
Carver counties have had more than
their share of this class. 1t is nothing
unusual for a score of ill-clad and
hungry visitors to debark from freight
trains in one of these smaller places,
such as Chaska, Shakopee, Waconia or
other way stations adjacent to Mime

several cases of assault and robbery
at Excelsior. which is point pecu-
liarly favored by these wandering gen

declared that he was a graduate of

Paul Krapadinski begged to be taken with
them. He promised his sister that If he
made money he would send for her, and
the promise has been kept.
For the last nine months the girl had
heard nothing from her brother and she
was alarmed lest some harm had be-
fallen him. Her letters remained unan-
swered and others addressed to the Off
Gals of the government at Dawson failed
to elicit information concerning the miss
