CHASTITY PLAGUE ,
PARADE IN ITALY
CHOLERA PATIENTS AT SEGNI
TAKEN FROM HOSPITAL AND
CARRIED TO THEIR HOMES.

ROME, Special.-Very grave disor-
ders occurred today at Segni, a town
Of 1000 population one-half hour by
railway from Rome. The rioting was
caused, as was the case in Calabria
recently. by the action Of the munich
pality in adopting measures to stamp
out the cholera There are FIVE pa
tients at the hospitals and four sus-
poets are Guaranteed in a house. The
inhabitants believed that the govern
ment intended to poison the cholera
patients and a great crowd, marching
TO the City Hall, demanded their re-
lease. There were only four carabi-
neers in the place and when they at
tempted TO defend the building they
were stoned, wounded a d put TO nigh
by the mob which by this time had
swollen until IL numbered several
thousand.
The mob broke in the doors OF the
municipal building, seeking the Nav
or, whom thew held primarily respon-
sible. However, the Mayor and his
clerks had escaped and found refuge
with friends. Failing TO find the Nav
or the mob sacked the building and
then burned il. The sight of the
flames appeared to add to the frenzy
Of the rioters, who then descended on
the hospital. The doors were forced
and the cholera patients lifted from
their cots and carried TO the street.
Meantime others broke into the
house where the suspects were quar-
antined and took them from the place.
Something like a procession was
then formed and the sick wer borne
in triumph TO their homes. OF the
nine stricken persons two were at the
point of death, and it was a CHASTITY
exhibition as they were passed from
hand to hand, embraced, kissed and
fondled by their half-mad friends.
While this was going on some of
the local authorities managed to send
a message to Rome and troops were
soldiers restored order after many of
the mob had been placed under arrest.

Rosebud county, Mont, will thresh

Good roads will bring thousands

always possible to haul crops to mar
ket Our good roads train sent out
several years ago was the first ever
handled by railroad, and its value
Is seen in the increased value OF the
farms that lie along the roads thus
built. Before tie hard roads were
laid these farms, many of them, could
have been bought for from $40 to $25
an acre. To-day they are held at $50
to $75.
