Be Well Armed,

Pittsburg, Feb. An spite of many
threats of armed resistance upon the
part of negroes if the police continue
the wholesale arrest of unemployed
negroes in the Heron Hill district of

was doubled and every patrolman had
orders to arrest every suspicious APP
pearing negro. No further attack up

negroes to resistance and the feeling
is high, The police, however, seem to
have the situation well in hand.

Edward Armstead, were held over for
further evidence, having been partly
identified as attacking white girls.

sent a proposition to Yankton citizens
asking for bonus of $3.50 which will
be made in the form of notes which

the completion and operation of the

II also provides that if the notes uoxv
