The tramp question is becoming as
monOtOnous as the old dog tax once
turned out. So many of these poor fel

sent to Jail for just being a tramp for any
length of time, but that he could be sent
there to await trial at court. For the

Over hundred tramps have been arrested.
some Of them being placed in the lookup
over night and the next morning released
The next night the same ones are arrested

4 tramp begging, and he was sober.
Twenty minutes later he was before a
squire for drunk and disorderly conduct.

tranps arc arrested, they who have never
drank drop of Intoxicating liquor in
their lives, and are sent to Jail for the
same, we think it is q shame, and stop
should be put to it 1t must be stopped,
or we will publish the name Of the officer
who again does it.
