of said work they have recovered pos
session of about COO logs. which have
been towed down river as far as Ian
sing. where the boat will await Mr..
Bawden before proceeding further.
Some of the COO logs, which average
about IS apiece in value. have been
recovered by paying to the man who
held them on the banks and in the
sloughs along the river a small pick
ing-up fee. allowing from 10 TO %
cents per log. In other cases, how
ever, where it was plainly apparent
that the logs had been stolen and that
the thieves were trying to hide them
from the searchers. the property was
simply seized by the steamboat men.
Thousands of Others.
All of the COO logs that were reCov-
cred were found between Winona and
this city. and Mr.. Bawden says there
are thousands between this city and
Lansing. which he will endeavor TO re-
cover either through the courts. by
seizure. or by paying small picking-up
fees where he thinks they are warrant
ed. during the next two weeks. He
will keep the Everett busy until freez-
ing-up tine, and hopes to deliver a
series of body blows TO log pirates in
this vicinity which will have the effect
of checking the traffic, which has at
tanned frightful proportions north and

QUIET OF FULTON
TOWN DISTURBED
Old War Spirit is Aroused When
Crowd # Clinton Boys
Invade the Place.
CHASED OUT WITH GUNS
Village Marshal Hit on Head With a
Rock When Arrest is At
tempted.

One of tie quietest places in the
world on Sunday afternoon is the main
street of Fulton. IL, but the Sabbath
serenity of that city was considerably
disturbed Sunday by a crowd of Gin
ton bows who went over to run the
town for awhile. The town authorities
and the citizens objected to the pro-
gram. and a small riot resulted. Moth
ing like the celebrated WOodmen riots,
of course which stirred the town of
Fulton to the core few years ago; but
something like it on small scale.
Every pleasant Sunday afternoon
number of Clinton bows flip" cast
bound freight trains for Fulton, MOrri-
son or Sterling. catching wcstbound
freiChts back to the city. Sunday
about twenty boys caught a train in
the Clinton yards and went to Fulton.
They paraded noisily about the streets,
singing shouting. throwing stones and
raising a great disturbance. until the
town officers determined to Put q stop
TO their sport.
Marshal In Pursuit.
Marshal George Bennett got after
the boys, who promptly scattered, &c
smaller crowds continuing to do Their
utmost to disturb the peace and dig
nifty of the state of Illinois. Constable
C. ~ Hurless joined the town mar
shall and several citizens turned oct
TO take hand in the game. When the
town grew too hot for the young imps
from Clinton they started southwark.
BY this time a shotgun or two were
displayed threateningly by the angry
Fultonites.
The posse followed the boys south
ward out of the city, headed by Con
stable Hurless, who was in a buggy.
The constable overlook the crowd a
mile south of Fulton. He stopped his
horse and attempted to arrest two of
the Clinton youths. One of the boys
picked up a rock and hurled it at the
| limb of the law. The rock flew straight
10 its mark, and the constable went
| home to nurse a sore head.
There was no freight train at hand
when the boys reached the bridge. and
the pursuing party was close at hand.
| There was no other alternative than
| to run for il, and the crowd started
over the bridge at their fastest, the
angry Fulton delegation pressing them
closely in the rear. The fieetest run
ners outdistanced their pursuers on
| the railroad bridge, while the more
shortwinded climbed down the iron
work onto the island, and sought ref
| uge in the woods, thereby GLIDING
their pursuers.
All Escaped.
Not a single member of the band
was captured. and the members of the
party were obliged to return to Full
ton without a victim. Had they caught
any of the young disturbers it would
no doubt have gone hard with them,
for the ire of the pursuers was at fe-
yer heat

ming. Mr.. Bawden says, OF extreme
methods which are to be used in re
covering possession of thousands of
logs which he and his detectives have
located in this vicinity and which have
thereon the marks of the mill owners
who belong to the association and
which he says have been either stolen
from RATS passing down stream by
those who now claim possession, or
have been purchased illegally.

the village of Brownsville Saturday in
Caledonia, and left this morning for

rants will be taken out against resi-

Ames March 3.---For the first time
in the history of the Iowa State Col
lege. fraterntties have been permitted
to organize among the students of that
institution. Fraternities have been
debarred in the past on the ground
that they induced factionalism among
the student body and the formation of
cliques, thing that was considered
very undesirable. Now. however, with
made impossible the intimate acquain-
lance that could exist among the stu
dents formerly. and with the abolish
ment of the dormitory system. a change
of heart has been experienced by the
trustees and faculty of the college. The
students have already secured permits
sion to organize chapters of we'll
ton, and steps have been taken to
form several fraternities without delay.
In regard to the project DR.. A. G.

yesterday: Acting upon the request
OF several large groups of students of
