The Waseca Radical says: "a
Iyoung magazine solicitor giving his
name as J. w. Harrington was fined
SIS by Special Judge Billiard Mon
| day for using insulting language to
a housewife who did no subscribe
| for his magazine. The lady imme-
diately telephoned to her husband
who came down to the house &C
iCompained by a policeman and the
man was arrested. Not being able
| to pay his fine at once he was
kept in Jail until evening when his
partner. raised the money. This is
| the proper method of remedying
the fresh agent evil. Report the
case at once to the authorities"
The husband should have kicked
the insolent fellow out Of town.

Mapleton Enterprise: White caps?
No, not exactly, but rather close to
it. Last Saturday night certain
home in Mapleton, which has not
enjoyed the most savory reputation,
was visited by a gathering of about
fifteen men who surrounded the
house and in short order made it
plain that the occupants had bet
ter change their manner of living
or get out of town. While gathered
around the house one of its occu-
pants, young man who makes his
home in Beauford. thought it about
time to make himself scarce, and
without stopping to go through the
formalities of opening a door, shot
ed with a fusilade of eggs. He es-
capped capture but ran the block
ade in manner worthy OF the
realistic accounts chr"nicled in the
best 5 cent novel. The crowd by
this time were Unsuitable and COM
ing over town they captured the
man of the household and after Civ
ing him an egg omelet felt rather
sorry for their work and took him
over to the hose trough and gave
him douche or two and let up only
on a promise that he would get out
of town On Monday morning this
advice was supplanted by that of
the authorities and we understand
the move has been made.
