The Tramp Season.


For o few weeks past the brakemen
on the Truokee division OF the O. p.
R. R. have had quite o lively time In
keeping tramps Of from the trains. Says
the Republican: These nomadic gentry
have been uncommonly numerous.
Eighteen were fred of n freight train
recently. Usually when caught enjoying
q surreptitious ride. they make no OBJ.
lection to stepping down and out, but
now and then they show fight. One OF
them recently tackled q brakeman and
received q severe drubbing In return.
These tramps show q wonderful persist.
sncy in stealing rides. Fired OF Of .
train they patiently await the coming OF
the next, and board Il, .concealing
themselves as well as they can from the
gaze Of the ever watohful brakeman.
Notwithstanding the vigilance Of rail.
road employees, they usually get from
place to place without being compelled
to resort to pedestrianism. In the Bum.
mer season they are most numerous
along the lines Of the different roads.
In Winter they seek the milder climate
OF the valleys, and rustic amid the or.
Guards and vineyards. They attend
nearly all the fairs, State and county,
and this is one reason why they are
found 30 numerous ct present. Idle.
dirty and frequently vicious. without
money or means, they yet enjoy con-
siderable pleasure In travelling about,
and they rejoice In the knowledge that
they are q source Of perpetual annoyance
to the balance OF humanity.
