A new vagrancy law, which went
into effect July l, is very stringent,
and will make it a simple matter for
nnan0 nfinorc tn fako ooro nf tlndncir-
ables that have not heretofore come
under any specific regulation, says an
exchange. The new law will apply
to the gypsey bands who each summer
roam over the state and make them
selves a nuisance to the townspeople,
as well as those who live on farms.
Under the new law they can be taken
into custody as Migrants and made to
work upon the streets or at other
public work.

morning caused the ~postponment of

Aurora people celebrate. Aurora gala
days in the past have always beer well
attended from here and we have al
ways had a good time and Saturdays

to those of other years.
Later developments relative to the
new railroad from Huron north are
somewhat different from what the
writer was led to believe last week
We were informed that the COMPANY
were not asking any bonus to build
the road but were willing to buy a
right-of-wayN and commence work
Since the meeting at Carpenter last
week it developes that they want the
little town of Carpenter to give them
329 acres of land for coming to that
place and they want the people along
the proposed route from Huron to
Clark to pay them $175, 900. 90. We be
lieve that amount of nom would
buy the r~ight-of-way and grade the
road. 1t is doubtful if the people are
ready to build a road and give it to a
corporation at this time.-Willow
