er and prepare meat for their own

moderation, according to advice re-

William c. Rempfer, OF Parkston,
and August Frederick, OF Tripp, were
forced to leave Scotland on foot by a
mob OF angry citizens. They were
told that violence would follow their
staying there. The men were there,
they said, in the interests of the So
cialist party of the state and were 60
ing among citizens soliciting member
ships to the party. On word of their
present in the city crowd started to
form with the intention of employing
tar and feathers. Friends of the men
tipped them to what was being done
and they went to the railroad depot,
where they were soon discovered by
the crowd. AS no train was due for
some time the men evidently decided
that it was too hot for them there,
and they finally started up the track
just as the crowd was reaching a
point where it would have been i'm
possible for the city officials and po-
lice to hold them in check.
