Travelling men who came to
Scotland Monday from Chamber
lain stated that last Saturday night
quite q large section Of land near
the old artesian we'll suddenly sank
some 200 feet. The wagon bridge
over the creek north of town was
undermined, fell in and was wash
away. The foundation under the
-four mill settled until the mill
was nearly tipped over. Several
years ago an artesian well commen-
ced washing outside the casing. At
that time considerable damage was
done. After much effort the flow
of water was stopped, but it now
appears that it simply formed q
new su~bterranean channel and has
been undermining a portion Of the
town. The flour mill was owned
by the Sanford estate and was
quite a valuable property. The
hole is now thought to be 200 #.
deep by $50 #. in diameter and is
filled with water. Cracks are seen
for some distance around. The
light and water plants have been
put out Of commission and the
railroad yards are threatened.
A tough bunch Of hoboes struck
town last Saturday night. The
conductor and a brakeman on a
night freight We're held up and a
watch taken from the conductor
before reaching Scotland and il is
said that the fellows who did il got
off here. Whether this was the
bunch or not We dc not know but
there were some bad mes here
Monday morning. Some of them
got pretty well intoxicated and
started a row down by the switch
yards where some of them we're
cooking their breakfast. One fell.

other through the leg. Ray Brown,
who is acting marshal, assisted by
Lew Holingshead, was soon on the
scene and had the fellow who did
the shouting and four other fellows

who appeared to be his pals round
Ell up and locked in the cooler,
Some of the fellows present identi-
fed them as the same parties who
had held up the conductor, and
they also claimed to have been
held up themselves by them. One
fellow claimed TO have lost $18 and
another SIS and several others
claimed to have lost smaller
amounts, all aggregating over for
ty dollars. No money was found
on the men arrested but some
switch keys and other articles ri
found on them. The revolver with
which the shooting was done was
found concealed by a fence post
and it is probable that the money
may also have been concealed
Sheriff Wagner and States Attor-
ney Kirschman were notified of the
arrest and came up and took them
to Tyndall for preliminary hearing.
Seven witnesses were also taken
from here and the conductor who
was held up was notified at Sioux
City and requested to come to Tyn-
