Prairie City adopts one dollar bounty on feeders of tramps
An ordinance in Prairie City Tennessee fines every citizen one dollar for feeding a tramp, except those seeking work. A relief dinner organized by Lacie Tartsough of Des Moines and a local group drew thirty hungry men to the railway yard, where pastors spoke, urging charitable aid. The event followed town opposition and warnings of chaos, but a Congregational minister reported the tramps left town by Monday morning. Separately, the Cedar Rapids Gazette notes the Union Pacific line renumbers cars by distance from the engine, causing temporary disruption during the transition while gradual relabeling proceeds in shops.
