The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1908-04-09

One OF the astonishing features Of
our present industrial system Is the
growth and persistency Of vagrsncy.
Recent statistics show that during
the year 1901-1905 there were 49,.
964 tresspassers killed by the rail.
roads OF this country, and that 49,.
236 more were injured; nearly all OF
them being tramps. The tramp
question has become Q national
problem. But how shall 1t be dealt
with? Tramps and trusts have been
bred in such numbers OF late years
that they seem to have the same
origin and very much the same ma
ture. They reap where they have
not sown, and flourish In the same
Jungle created by unjust Legislation.
To reform the tariff would be in q
large measure to reform the trusts
and the tramps Eek.

AGAIN IN The Tolls
ALLEGED THAT HE STOLE AN
AUTO TIRE BELONGING
TO SALSBERRY.

Ole Blumgren, who has figured in
several escapades which ended up in
the police court lately, has again run
afoul the clutches of the law. This
time Ole is charged with having ap-
propriated an automobile tire, which
it is alleged he detached from Jack
Salsberry's Thomas Flyer. The war
rant was sworn to by ]. ]. Griffiths
and chief Malley soon had Blumgren
in the city bastile. He was later re-
leased on $3.50 bail furnished by his
friends who have come to his rescue
times innumerable. The last time
Blumgren was before the court on a
charge of extracting money from an
envelope which he was given to de-
liver in Tonopah, jury saw fit to
acquit him after he had made a con-
fession of his guilt.

Man ATTACKED
IN HIS ROOM
BURGLAR ROBS AND SLUGS PAUL
sERyANTE ON wEDNEs-
DAY NIGHT.

One of the most daring and sue
cessful attempts at BURGLARY was
carried out in this city Wednesday
night, the victim being Paul Ser
vante. who was formerly in the
restaurant business and known to all
old-timers in this city, and the place,
room in the rear of the Depot ho-
tel.
Mr.. Servante had retired about IL
o'clock and in explaining the occur
renee afterwards said that he had an
intuition that some one was in his
room. Thinking perhaps that 1t was
a case OF nervousness he finally drop
ped off into half doze when he was
awakened by hearing man crawl
isg from under the bed. AS he arose
to a sitting posture he was dealt a
crushing blow on the forehead, either
by the mans fist or weapon. The
burglar grabbed Servante's trousers,
In which was concealed a $50 note,
and hurriedly left the room with
Servante in pursuit. The victim
chased his assailant for several
blocks and described him as being
either a negro or a man of very
swarthy complexion. The police
were informed, but the meager de-
scription furnished little clew to
work upon.
