QUINCY, Ills, June 23.-Tramps are creating
a great deal of trouble on all of the railroads
leading from this city. They tako possession
of freight trains regardless of the protestations
of the train men and sometimes actually CON-
pei the engineers to run the trains in spite of
orders to side track. Soma of these tramps
are well armed with revolyers and knives, and
last night and yesterday. on the Wabash, they
presented weapons at the heads of some of the
engineers and declared and carried out the
purpose of riding as far as they wanted. Over
400 of these desperadoes BOARDED
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy freight
on the Rockford, Rock Island and St. Louis
division yesterday, retaining absolute posses
sion of it so long his they desired. Conductors
and brakemen are entirely powerless to prevent
any outrages that the tramps may see ut to
perpretrate. 1t is also said that the tramps are
destroying farm property, and in some cases,
burn reapers and mowers. Yesterday one of
them entered the first national bank, picked
up number of blank checks, and started out
with them, remarking that he might be able to
realize on them as he struck granger,
but he stopped by the cashier and COM
PEELED to return the checks.
