Another Tramp Tracked By
Dogs and Made to Give
Up Stolen Money

Aberdeen, s. D.-A number of
South Dakota farmers have eXper-
fenced considerable difficulty with
the itinerant farm hands who are
passing through the country at pres
ent. The majority Of the men are
we~ll-behayed and law-abiding, but
there are others who are lawless and
worthless and who are in the coun-
try solely for the purpose of picking
UP an easy livelihood by robbing
either the farmers or the real farm
hands. George, Wilson, a, Grant county
farInery had al with one
OF the tough element last week,
when a stranger appeared at his farm
and demanded something 10 eat.
Wilson replied there was little eX-
cuse in South Dakotaaht this season
'f the year, for any person to de-
mand charity, when the man replied
that he wanted something to eat, and
wanted it damned quick Wilson
again refused and the mar grabbed
a pitchfork and attacked the farmer.
Wilson ran to his buggy shed. where
he had left a revolver hanging, but
remembered, after reaching the shed,
that he had taken the weapon to the
house. Defenseless, he turned his
side toward the enraged hobo and
succeeded in kicking the pitch fork
aside, so only one tine of the fork
struck him. AS the man drew back
for another lunge with the dangerous
weapon, the Wilson house dog came
to the rescue and fastened his fangs
in the hobo's arm. The dogs inter
v%ention gave Wilson n chance to es-
cape, and he rushed to the door and
secured a crowbar, with which he
IN soon brought the man to terms, chas-
ing him off the farm. He then went

that he was mentally unbalanced

CITY SUSTAINED IN
SEWER CONVENTIONS
JUDGE SMITH RENDERS JUDO
MENT AGAINST MITCHELL
FOR S1.132 INSTEAD OF
AMOUNT ASKED BY
CONTRACTORS.

Judge Frank b. Smith yesterday
announced his decision on the refer
ee's report filed August Sth, in re.
gard to the suit filed by L. Fannebust
& Sons of Sioux Falls. to recover
money, they claimed to be due to thu
sum of $4,695 from the city of Nit
chell on sewer contracts. The judge
entered judgment against the cityifor
the amount of $1097.00 which it adj
mitted to be due the contractors, and
$500 additional with the costs
which will amoun to about $4,000.
The case arose over a question of
alleged extra work the contracting
company put in during the construc-
ton of the sewers. OF this amount
$500 was for alleged drilling through
hard rock. which required blasting;
$1,000 was for the repairs to defec-
tive syphons, which the contractors
claimed had been built &C, ording to
specifications submitted by the city;
$595 was for extra concrete work
and e~xcavating; and the balance was
for other extra work.

FRACTURED SKULL
RESULT OF FALL
FIRED CLARK FALLS THROUGH
MANHOLE IN SIDEWALK BY r.
NAVIN HOTEL AND SUS-
TAINS SERIOUS IN
JURIES. y

What may turn out to be a fatal
700 o'clock when Fred Clark a
farmer from north of the city fell
through a manhole in front of the
new Navin hotel and sustained in
juries which rendered him uncon-
'scious. He was rescued from the cav
ity into which he had fallen and
taken to st. Joseph's hospital. He
was totally unconscious and is in a
semi-conscious state today though
somewhat improved.
Upon examination it was found
the mans skull had been fractured
at it's base, and he is in a very pre-
'carious condition. The doctors refuse
to state positively that he will re-
cover but believe he will. While he
was able to talk this morning, he
seemed to remember nothing of his
accident or to realize where he was.
Mr.. Clark was walking along the
street in front of the Navin last
might. Bystanders differ on the way
the accident occurred. Some state
the cover of the manhole was prop
ped up about a foot on one side and
others claim that it was entirely
closed but carelessly fitted. 1t is evil
dent that when the man stepped
upon the edge of the cover, it tipped
and he was thrown headlong into
the opening. It is believed he struck
his head on the sharp edge of the
walk and then dropped on down to
the cement floor beneath.
Mr.. Clark is a man of about 80
years of age. He is a married maj
but has no children. His wife is at
his bedside today.

We're they not captives, bound by the

Of understanding. Were they not all

accomplish the deliverance of the cap
