MURDERED BY FLOOD.

James R. Flood, a former Austin
boy, shot and instantly killed A. P.
Camden on Nicollet avenue, Mime
apolis, shortly before midnight, last
Wednesday night. It does not appear
that he had ever met the man he
shot, so that there was no personal
feeling. He said he saw the man ap-
preaching and merely wished to try
his skill with newly purchased re-
volver. There is little doubt in the
minds of the authorities that Flood
is mentally weak and degenerate
of the worst type and his tendency
to crime has been enhanced by read
ing cheap, sensational literature and
ATTENDING theatrical performances of
the same character. He was son
of the late John E. Flood and was
born in Dexter but later lived in
Austin township near Varco and in
Austin city. His father died in July
1899, leaving family of seven
children for the hard working mother
to care for. She died January Is,
1908. James has for years shown
signs of mental arrangement, acting
queerly at times and becoming easily
excited. He has been of late with
his brother Roy at White Rock, s. D.
1t is alleged that on the Sunday pre-
vious to his crime of murder, he had
been working for William Craig al
White Rock and went to a neighbol
land asked to borrow horse for hi:
employer. He took the horse to Her.
man and sold it and with the money
came to Minneapolis. He went tt
the theater Wednesday evening ant
; on his way to his room met Camde1

. womans clothing was found in hi

DAY.

The football team of the college will
play its first game of the season at
the fair grounds next Saturday after
noon. Their opponents will be the
fast team from the normal school at
Aberdeen, and a close, hard fought
game is expected. This will be the
first time that Brookings has met the
Northern Normals on the football field
and will try and make good start
by capturing the first game.
We were out to- the college to see
the football men work Monday evening
and were impressed with the speed.
strength and general makeup of Coach
Saunderson' squad. About thirty can
didates were out for practice. and
while large number of them are new
men they appear to have some knowl-
dge of the game, gained at high school
or academy and this will prove help
in learning the college game. Coach
Saunderson's task is no light one, how
ever, as he will have to pick center.
a tackle and two guards and in the
back field the only veterans are Cough
lin and Feurnstahl. We are confident
that Mr.. Saunderson will get the best
results out of the materia, at hand,
and build up team which will be a
credit to the institution.

GRADUATES IN DEMAND.

George Maryland. who graduated
from the electrical engineering depart
ment of the State college last June,
departed Thursday morning for Taco
ma. Wash, where he expects to work
as an electrical engineer. Three other
members Of this years electrical en-.
gineering class are In the west and
have good positions. John Sperb Is
at Tacoma, Gordon Weeks at Lewis
ton, Idaho, and Will Perry at Billings,
Montana. The young men who COM
pleted this course at the State col.
lege are in great demand and as soon
as they graduate they find ready en-
ployment at excellent wages. Here
tofore the General Electric company,
one Of the biggest concerns of its kind
in the country has taken all the grad
yates of this department, but since
the panic last fall business In the east
has been practically at a standstill
and the company has been laying of
its men, and of course, has been un.
able to give an employment to- any
new men. However, this years class
of engineers have had no trouble In
finding positions, and with each sue
ceeding year the graduates from this
course will be In greater demand.

TIME TO CALL A HALT.

There are some things that are cry
ing aloud for halt, and one of these
is the habit of indiscriminate giving.
Hardly day passes but there is some
call for donations for this and that
charitable institution supposedly locat.
ed at some remote point. The average
person hands out quarter or more
without the trouble of an investiga-
tion and We believe we are safe In
saying that at least ninety per cent
of the requests for aid are the result
of some scheme of individuals for pri-
vate gain. either directly or indirectly.
Every little while we receive a call
from solicitors who make house to
house canvass for some children s
home, home for fallen women, hospi.
tai or religious sect, located at some
remote point of the earth. which, on
investigation, never existed, and these
people are travelling over the country
obtaining money under false pretenses.
There is also the professional beg
gar-they are thicker than life i'm
surance agents--they are almost con
stantly at your door. They have some
hard luck story some awful thing
has happened them, or they are on the
way to the hospital for treatment for
some internal disease that Is hidden
from the eye of the unsuspecting pub
lie. In order to save trouble and
exertion it has become common prac-
tice to have this plea already printed
giving the impression that they are
deaf, dumb or blind when they can
actually see, hear and talk as well
you. The professional beggar comes
hobbling In with his tale of woe and
as soon as he thinks he is out of
your sight, walks as well as anyone.
Brookings may not be infested with
this sort of people more than other
towns, but from the large number who
visit our city it would seem that there
was an understanding that this was a
good field to work liz. At home every
worthy case should be cared for, but
do you notice how few calls we have
from home people to the hundreds,
as you might say, from strangers? :?
The only way to do Is to harden your
heart against these frauds and refuse
to give aims to one and all If they
are worthy there is no reason why
they should be asking charity. Each
civil organization is compelled to care
for its unfOrtunateS and you should
have no compunctions i'm calling them
to account by turning them over to the
proper authorities or telling them to
move on. If this rule was more gener-
ally adopted it would soon solve the
beggar nuisance.
