Yarn About Being. Shipped
Out From the Cities
LOOK" HARD FOR WORK
This Morning Bunch Was Moved
In Direction of Stone;
Track Raising
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Twenty-one floaterS were rounded
up by the police early this morning
and marched over to the police sta
ton where they were locked up. Most
of them told the old story that they
had shipped out in the expectation OF
getting employment. Some said they
shipped out of the twin cities and
others said they were from Omaha.
OF twenty-five that were shipped
out from st. Paul to st. Peter last
night, to set them to work on track
raising on the Omaha, three went to
had shipped into Mankato, ostensibly
to do track work, on the Omaha in
the vicinity of Stone, only one went
out promptly to work. The rest
loafed around until they were gather
ed in by the police.
Easy Way of Travelling.
Many men find this shipping out
an easy way of getting cheap trans
portation. BY paying one dollar for
an employment fee, they get free
transportation that would otherwise
cost them great deal more money,
and the railroad men have a hard
time keeping the fellows on the jobs,
even if they do get them started.
There is now a wage of $2.25 per day
for common labor on the tracks.
The police decided this morning to
point out to the fioaters they had
rounded up the fact that they had a
chance to get work at Stone, and to
march them out of town in that di-
rection, thus, at least, getting rid of
them.

Officers
w. S. FORREST.

Paris, June 17.-[By Mail. l-Infor-
nation relative to the individual
members of the American expedi-
tionary force in France will not be
permitted in the news cables
The general staff announced today
that such news must be transmitted
to the folks at home by the officers

papers.
The fighters will be encouraged to
write fully and often to those who
are interested in this. This mail will
pass through a lenient military cen
sorship and upon it's arrival in
America may be given out to the
newspapers by the respective rela-
tives or friends.
The only exception to the general
staff's ruling according to plans out
lined today will be in event of ex-
ceptional cases where individual
acts of bravery or devotion to duty
may possibly be communicated to
the press officially at a later time.
This will not happen however, until
American troops have actually been
under fire.

TWIN HtSIiddy DotIys
Fairmont Independent: Early in
the week Banker Streator and family
of Winrebago, accompanied by Mr..
and Mrs. Babcock, drove to Fairmont
and on the way met with peculiar
accident. They met another auto on
the road which was being driven
pretty rapidly, though not in reck-
less manner and the stranger gave
fully half the road. AS the cars pass
ed each other stone was hurled by
the wheel of the strangers car with
great force. 1t grazed the cheek and
temple Of Mr.. Streator and crashed
through the windshield of the Win
nebagO car. The stone came with
such force that it made long scratch
through the skin on Mr.. Streator's
cheek and temple and had it struck
him fairly a serious accident no doubt
would have resulted as he was driv-
ing the car at the time. We have
several times read of plate glass be-
ing broken by speeding cars on gray
eled streets but this is the first case
on record we believe of the occupants
of another car being in danger from
such a cause.
William De Long of Austin is held
at the county Jail in Owatonna on the
charge of selling an auto which did
not belong to him. 1t is claimed that
De Long borrowed car from Mr..
Snyder of Austin and that he sold it
to Joe Hondeck for $500.
Killing wolf by running it down
in an automobile is new method
tried by Edward Townley, who re-
sides south of Rochester On a night
trip home from Rochester Mr.. Town
ley observed an animal running be-
fore him in the road. Speeding up his
machine he found it to be a wolf.
When the wolf found the machine
pressing it tried to jump over high
embankment beside the road, but it
proved too steep and as it fell back,
the car hit it and crushed out it's
life. Mr.. Townley collected the bounty.
Alvin Britten, dangerously insane
man who had been cutting up vicious
capers in Fairmont and in that neigh
borhood, was arrested few days ago

Jail and later an officer from a Wis
consin insane hospital took charge Of
him, returning him to the institution
from which he had escaped a few
days previous.
