Franklin county trims tramp issue with bread and water rule
Franklin county adopts a new plan to suppress tramps by cutting maintenance funds, allowing only nine cents a day per inmate for roads, effectively a bread and water ration. The move may terrorize hobos this winter, while other counties may seek relief via inequitable allocations.

Mammoth raid planned on gambling machines halted
A large scale effort to purge the city of gambling devices was aborted after a tips leak. Wyoming deputy Henry Kutp led a team to confiscate over forty machines, but the operation dissolved before dawn. City officials and prominent residents back a broader crackdown on saloons and Sunday tavern openings, with penalties to follow. The move aligns with a moral purification push supported by local leaders.
