Vigilantes Are
Organized to
Combat Bandits
South Dakota Business Men
Form Auto Squads to Co
Operate in Campaign
Against Robberies.
Flandroau, S. D.; Aug. 19. (Spe
cial.) Organization here of a vigil
ance committee, composed of busi
ness men, to frustrate the attempts
of holdup men and bank robbers,
and run them down when they suc
ceed in their efforts, is having effect
on other communities of Moody
county, where similar organizations
have been perfected.
Residents of Trent and Egan or
ganized and Colman has a body of
30 men who will respond to signals
which have been agreed upon should
attempts be made to rob the banks
or other places of business.
Vigilantes, who own automobiles,
will take their autos to the scene of
robberies and be prepared to partici
pate in a chase after such bandits as
may rob stores or other places and
flee from the towns. In each car
will be two expert marksmen, armed
with rifles.
, Members of the vigilance organ
ization will be summoned by tele
phone. Those who form the auto
squads reside in proximity to each
other, so the marksmen can hiake
ready while the men with autos are
getting out their cars. By this
means it would be only a few min
utes after a robbery until the mem
bers of the posse in autos would
meet at a central point, from which
the pursuit of the bandits . would
commence.
Shadow of Hospital
Gimps
on
Trail
of
Wahoo Bridge Foreman
Fremont, Neb., Aug. 19. (Spe
cial.) Another serious accident oc
cured here to Charles Fraser, 44,
foreman for the Central Bridge &
Construction company when a brok
en shoulder and several shattered
ribs added one more journey to the
hospital after a continual series of
visits to the infirmaries during his
life.
His latest accident occurred when
assisting his men in placing a road
culvert in position east of Fremont.
Fraser was using a plank as a pry.
Something slipped, the weight of
the culvert struck the plank and
shot Fraser about 16 feet into the
air. In falling he struck heavily
on his side and shoulders. Internal
injuries are feared by the hospital
physicians.
Five weeks ago Fraser nearly lost
a finger when his hand was caught
in a railroad trapdoor. Last Decem
ber Fraser lost the sight of his left
eye when a rivet flew from its posi
tion while he was fixing a concrete
mixer. Last September Fraser was
caught between two cement pipes
and nearly crushed to death. He
sustained painful injuries to the hips
and body and laid in the hospital
for many weeks.
A number of years ago, Fraser
lost a finger from his right - hand
when his entire arm was caught in
a shredder and the member was
nearly torn from its socket. It was
feared, at the. 'time that he .would
lose the entire arm. Fraser has also
suffered a broken collar bone and
hip when he was run over by a team
of horses and a heavy wagon when
a young man. Mrs. Fraser was
called to the bedside c.f her hus
band from Wahoo, where they make
their home.

trees. He kept his eyes on her and
directed police in the search, as she
acted strangely, he said. Fishermen
