WOULD
INFEsT THE CITY
MAKE THREATS WHEN REFUSED
RATIONS BY CITY.-LEADER
ARRESTED AND HALF A
REGIMENT DEPARTS.

Threats to invade the residence
districts of the city and beg from
house to house were made by a gang
Of hoboes at an early hour this fore
noon when Chief of Police Wood
Smith had refused to act as COM
missary and furnish rations for the
lot. .i
Over 500 of the knights of the
bumpers were pulled into the city
from the south shortly after &
o'clock. While a largo part Of them
remained on the freight cars on
which they had ridden, mi large
crowd came up Main street and
gathered at Second and Main streets.
They parleyed with Officers Darling
and Kirkpatrick and finally demand
ed that the city provide food for
them.
BY Z O'Clock, Chief Smith had been
notified and met the leader of the
crowd, Ross Lynch. The spokesman
Igrew abusive when informed that
%rations could not be furnished his
followers and threatened to clean up
the town. He was speedily thrown
in Jail and the remainder of the
crowd herded back to the railroad
yards and, placed on the train going
north. Aberdeen, which has been
having considerable trouble with the
hoboes, will receive this delegation
tonight.
Chief Smith has issued orders ia
1.-THE patrolmen this year to allow the
hoboes to come up Main street and
purchase from the stores and res.
taurants what eatables they desire,
with the understanding hat none OF
them is to go into the residence dis.
tricts and beg for food.
Another large crowd passed
through the city Thursday morning
part of them later participating in
the %assaulting of the two Milwaukee
brakeman, J. T. Donnelley and M
w. Richards, at Woonsocket. Com.
plants were made by officials of the
Milwaukee road that considerable
socialist literature had been distrib.
uted among the hoboes during Their
stay in Mitchell and that this hat
been scattered over the lawns an6
property around the station.
That it is not necessary for the
travellers to beg is shown by state.

Kansas wheat fields and that only the
less reputable AMONG them had re

THAT COTTON
WILL GROW IN S. D

Dupree, s. D.-H. s. Brown, a
h~omesteader living south Of Dupree,
has demonstrated that cotton can be
grown in South Dakota. Last year,
while visiting in Oklahoma, he made
the remark to friends that he belfey-
ed cotton would grow in this state.
He was made fun of, but was pre-
sented with some cotton seeds, which
he planted, and every one grew.
Brown, however, is sticking to corn,
wheat, alfalfa, cows and the silo as
regular things In farming. Cotton is
q side issue.
