over the head or in some other way ?"
humorously asked the gang and then
he got it. When he received it he was
out in the street minus a gun and
minus star, with several healthy
bruises as mementoes of the occasion.
Then the gang started out to find more
policemen. They found them. How
will you have it, was a favorite form
of speech to the copper. He was not
questioned further and before his gun
could be used it would be snatched
away from him and brought with
crushing force over his head
This happened about dozen times.
Policemen We're kicked. maltreated and
jeered, while the crowd laughed. Joe
Boslaugh, brotherin- of a police
man, felt some one going through his
pockets. He turned on the man and
downed him. Immediately a gun which
he had in his pocket was snatched by
someone in the crowd and he was
smashed over the head. Policemen in
terfered and the grafters pointed out
Boslaugh as the assailant and the in.
telligent police force soon had him in
the lookup.
The situation is seething. The re-
spectacle town people are demanding
the reinstatement of Nelson, who seems
to be the only man who can handle the
crowd. The trouble seems to be that
the town trustees have sold privileges
which as one gambler expressed, it,.
They haven't the CUTS to deliver y
and this is the trouble. Absolutely no
adequate provisions have been made
to handle the tough element that is
here.

LAWLESSNESS REIGNS IN
NEW TOWN OF BONESTEEL

Bonesteel, S. D., July 20.-Riot and
lawlessness reigned in Bonesteel yes
terday. The police were absolutely
unable to cope with the situation and
the grafters and gamblers had things
their own way. Governor Hereid has
been communicated with relative to
sending troopes, but the work is near
ly closed and 1t would take too long
to get the troops here. Clerk In Charge
McPhaul was appealed to for govern
ment protection, but his reply was that
the government would do nothing until
Uncle Sans property was interfered
with.
The trouble started Monday when
the trustees ordered off the street
games This they followed with the
letting out of Chief of Police Nelson,
who has held the situation in hand by
his own personal force. He is an ex-
pensive luxury, and the trustees
thought they could get along without
him. They have tried it. The local
force is made up of men unused to this
kind of an element and they were as
helpless as babies. The guns were
taken from them, their stars removed
and they were kicked out into the
streets or deposited in alleys The
crowd elected the fun. The grafters
say they are paying for certain priyi-
leges and are disposed to get what
they have paid for.
