Policeman to
Pay Old Fine

Huron, July 22-"It's easy to
collect old unpaid fines when you
get the fines" on the police force
was the terse way in which Judge j..
ID. Searles succinctly summed up
the situation before the city COM
missioners when he secured the Of
ficial o. X. of that body to an order
given by Herbert Butler for $21.50
to pay a fine imposed upon Butler
on July S, 1921, for being intoxicat-
ed in a public dance.
Butler was arrested a year ago
for being drunk and was fined $40
and costs, the costs aggregating
$1150. He was released on the
promise htat he would pay his fine,
but never showed up. When Butler
was added to the police force as a
"fly cop to nab speeders and boot
leggers the Judge harked back to his
record and gave Butler to under
stand that he would have to pay
that old fine.
Butler gave him an order on the
city for the amount to be deducted
from his wages, the order was @
lK.'d by the city commissioners al
their meeting this week and the fine
collected from the city treasurer.

HELP TRAVELLER;
TWO ARE BURNED
MIR. AND MRS. OSCAR PETERSON
ARE VICTIMS OF DOUBLE
EXPLOSION.

Groton, July 22-Mr. and Mrs.
Oscar Peterson, residing four miles
south of Groton, were badly burned
as the result of double explosion
which occurred at their home Sun
day night about II o'clock.
Charley Nehls was returning to
his home near Ferney when he run
out of gas near the Peterson place
and stopped to procure sufficient
quantity to take him home.
In draining the tank of his car
Oscar overfilled the measure, and in
arising some of the gas was spilled
on a lighted lantern nearby, result
ing in terrific explosion.
The flames burned Mr. Peterson
very painfully about the arms and
legs, besides destroying some of the
contents of the garage.
Mrs. Peterson phoned for medi-
cal assistance, and the doctor in
structed her. to melt some parafine
and place it on the wounds. In do
ing so the parafine exploded and
Mrs. Peterson also suffered painful
injuries on the arm, it being burn
ed from the elbow to the finger tips.
Although the burns are not SER
ious, they are very painful. IL is
thought that Mr.. and Mrs. Peterson
will be about their accustomed du-
ties in a short time.

Cashier Hunts

Rapid City. July 22-Woe be un-
to the two young slickers should
they perchance meet Miss Pearl Birn-
baum, the little cashier at the Vir-
ginia cafe, whom they fleeced out OF
$40, it is alleged, when they went
to pay for their dinners.
1t was the same old scheme OF
flashing large bill on the cashier

and says he has the correct change
at the same time confusing the cash.

1T is understood similar attempts
were made at the Meter Smoke
Shop. but with no success. Immed.
lately after Mr.. Theodore and Miss
Birnbaum discovered the act they
notified the police. who were soor
securing the city.
The Associated Retailers immedi
ately sent warnings to its member.
to be on the alert.
Miss Birnbaum went out on tn.
street herself trying to locate tn,

REDS RESORT To
T USUAL METHODS
THROW HARVEST HANDS FROM
TRAINS WHEN REFUSE TO
JOIN 1. w. w.

Mitchell, July 22-Migrant harry
est workers passing through Nit
chell on their way north and west
to work in the harvest fields of
South Dakota are being forced at
the point of guns to buy member
ships in the L. w. w. organization.
1t was learned. iIt
Fifteen men were forced off a
north bound freight train when they
refused to pay the $3.50 member
ship fee demanded by the |. w. w.
workers. The organizers compelled
the workmen to jump off the moving
train when they did not have the
money to buy the red cards of mem
bership.
Three l. w. w. organizers were
arrested in Mitchell but were re-
leased later because the witnesses
against them failed to appear. This
Is one of the main difficulties en-
countered by the authorities in deal
Ing with the radicals, as the work
ers who make complaints against
them are anxious to get out to work
and leave before the |. w. w. mem
bers can be tried
The men arrested gave their
names as Harvey Jessen, j. A. Lee
and Edward L. Connolly They gave
no permanent residences.
1t was the intention of the author
tiles to charge the organizers with
criminal syndicalism. but the litera-
ture carried by the "wobblies" this
year is found to be free from radi-
cal statements such as characterized
it in the past.
The literature is not Objectionable
but the direct action methods OF
the workers have not changed.
Nearly 800 migrant workers pass
ed through Mitchell Wednesday and
a similar number were here Thurs
day enroute to the harvest fields.
Mitchell authorities wired to Alb.
erdeen asking the police there te
watch for the organizers who left
Mitchell. 1t is the plan also to ash
the state sheriff to put armed depu
ties on the trains to protect the hon
est workers from the radicals.

SENIORITY RIGHTS
BLOCK RAIL PEACE
BEN HOOPER, LABOR BOARD
HEAD, CONFERS WITH HARD
ING ON STRIKE PROBLEM.

Washington, ID. c., July 22-The
greatest obstacle in the path of an
early settlement of the nationwide
strike of railroad shopmen is the
question of restoring seniority
rights to the strikers, Ben Hooper,
chairman of the labor board, said
today. Hooper, summoned here
from Chicago by President Harding,
who desired complete information on
the shopmen's dispute before taking
steps which he hoped will bring
about a settlement, gave the presi-
dent complete resume of the re-
cent unsuccessful efforts of the la
Dor board to terminate the strike,
and the real cause underlying the
walkout.
