Big Chicken Story.

One Charles Abrams, of Houghton,
and sometimes of Claremont, tells a
story of Aberdeen chicken thieves. He
showed q card from Game Warden
John Anderson appointing him deputy
game warden and alleged that a few
days ago he knew of forty-two chickens
that were in the Houghton depot ready
for shipment. He also divulged the
names of those who shot the chickens,
one of whom is connected with a well
known Aberdeen family. These names
are known to the News, sheriff of Brown
county and the game warden, and are
being withheld tor the sole purpose of
aiding the investigation Sometime

humane nature conld easily detect the
false tone of the professional. A small
race var came near being the feature
of the Saturday evening performances.
A colored man who has been in and
around Britton for the past year and
has always behaved himself, was insuled
by a white man who was under the
influence of liquor. The negro resented
the treatment, pulled his coat and
offered to fight but was stopped by the
marshal. Later the trouble was con-
timed by a gambler in town who
pitched onto the colored man known as
doc" The gambler, with the assis-
lance of several in the crowd, got Doc
down and numerically beat him in the
face. Several fools were crying ''give
them a square deal, let EN- fight it OUT
ETC., and were Mt the same time taking
a crack at the black man because ne

men! were they not? Herosl This
fight, or riot-would be the better name
for it, occurred while the marshal was
conducting a prisoner to the Jail. The
man, Doc, was locked up, but the gam
bier escaped. A thorough search was
made for him but it wal thought that
he had been secreted by friends. Doc
was bailed out later in the evening By
friends. Brtton has no bones to pick
with Bonesteel. In speaking with one
who was in Bonesteel during the regis
tering he said that at no time was the
crowd as lawless there as they were
here on Saturday night. The language
freely used on the streets was revolving
even to one accustomed to profanity.
The assailant of doc who is known as
"Slim" or "Sapolio." was arrested
Monday and taken before the justice
who fined him 90. The boxcar arrest
was also up before the justice court.
His case was continued and it will pro-
baby go hard with him If the Mil
waukee can clinch Q case against him.

after, when questioned more closely,
Abrams claimed that the persons sus-
pected, but that he could snow the
chickens if necessary. The story is
making butte a stir in town and is gen.
orally thought that there is more or less
truth connected with it. The case is
being investigated and some develop
ments of a startling nature may be
expected.
A Fierce Time For Britton.
On Saturday night there were no less
than four or five fights and brawls on
Main street in Britton and the sidewalk
on the east side of the street was unsafe
for a lady without an escort. And even
then it was a very unpleasant place.
Both the city and county Jail were filed
by Marshal Hilton, who was assisted by
Steve Alpaugh, the veteran police
officer. On Sunday a stabbing fray
took place, one of the supplicants for
aid under the plea of physical disability
being the instigator. He was landed in
the bastile by Marshal Hilton. His vic
tim escaped. Cars standing on the side
track were broken into and goods con-
signed to residents Of Britton and sur
rounding country stolen. Among the
missing articles were several bottles of
whisky. The last event was the signal
for boboes to leave town and quite a
number will have cause to remember
the clubbing they got at Britton. Last
fall the town was overrun with a law
less gang Of tramps and this fall the
crowd is eve worse and the action
taken by the marshal should receive
the commentator of all citizens.
Respectable working men who behave
themselves will not be molested but the
professional "Bo" had better give Brit
ton a wide birth in the future. There
were no less than three or four fake
beggars on the streets Saturday solicit
ing aims which they afterwards blew in
for booze. They all had q nice little
sounding piece to say but q student Of

Hunters i'm Trouble.

Maurice Ringrose, Roy Meredith and
Walter Buckow, of Aberdeen, who
were arrested by Game Warden John
Anderson for shooting prairie chickens
on August 27th, were arraigned before
Police Justice Jones at 3 o'clock Monday
afternoon. Ringrose and Buckow were
each fined $40 and costs, amounting to
$54. 20. Ringrose was allowed two
hours to raise the money but found it
impossible to do so ON account of his
relatives being absent from the city,
and is now looking for some one to go
on his bond for his appearance in court
on next Thursday, by which time he
hopes to secure the funds with which to
pay his fine. Buckow, in default of
payment has been put in Jail until he
raises the money which he hopes to be
able to do in a few days. At the time
of going to press Meredith had not put
in an appearance and search was being
made for him throughout the city.

Condor Pardoued.

Governor Herreid has issued a pardon
TO Thomas Condor, who in 1900 was
convicted in Hughes county of assault
with a deadly weapon with intent to
kill. His term would have expired in
January 1906. The pardon was unani-
mously recommended by the state board
of pardons, and by Judge Gaffy. The
petition for pardon of Charles Moody,
sentenced from Sanborn county on
Aug. 20, 1901, for four years and six
months, on a conviction for grand
larceny was refused. Moody was con-
victed of cattle stealing and his prison
record is not a good one.
