ACamp of Tramps Captured.

Officers Spencer, Dean and Ramsey went
out into the suburbs yesterday scouting for
tramps, and came upon camp of eleven Of
these nomads on Dallas Branch east of the
city. They were located down behind a
high bank of the stream, oyer which
hung lot OF trees which
afforded them protection from the
wind, and were just finishing their
breakfast which consisted of coffee, baker
bread and birds, which they had cooked on
the naked Goals. They had large tin can
filled with boiling coffee sitting on lot OF
rocks, beneath which there was good fire,
and were using oyster cans for cups. The
officers marched them to Justice Edwards
court, where they were tried for vagrancy
and all of them were convicted but three, Of
which two Of them were mere lads. The
Others were lodged in Jail to await trans
portation to the poor farm. They are a
seedy looking set, and yet they appeared TO
enjoy the best of health. One of those con-
victed pleaded not guilty to the charge and
stated thathe had applied to a certain citizen
for work but could not get any. Unfortu-
nately the citizen was present and denied
that the party had ever applied to him for
work, and the jury fined him twice as
much as any of the others. He had evi-

Jack county. They had with them herd
of some fifty cows and calves, and propose

During the past month large number OF

chase land cheaper, and this is the cause OF
the immigration of the poorer families

A Few Questions.

To the Editor of the HERALD
The subscriber would like to ask few
questions
First-Why it was that J. lien was ar
rested at his home at a late hour of the
night and thrust into Jail without an OPP
portunity to give bond, and that, too, when
he was already under bond for the same
oifense, and is ready and absolutely able to
give $4,000 bond? 1t is especially sig.
niticant that there are numerous indict-
ments found against parties prior to the one
against lien, and the parties are seen daily
upon. the streets and have not been ar
rested
Seconds this all done because of the
luminosity existing on the part of the
county attorney?
Third-Have the sheriff or his deputies
not time to make arrests in day time and
give the accused time 10 make bond? The
arrest of Zen last night is simply an out
rage and is downright persecution
