Fight With Tramps.

Saturday morning about dozen tramps
boarded Conductor Merri6eld's train ut
Jefferson City, and went in and took the
checks from the hats of the sleeping
passengers. When Merri6eld went through
the train he noticed strange faces, AID he
commenced to investigate. and found that
the fellows were not entitled 10 passage.
At California he, with the assistance OF
Officer Charlie Barnett and other passel-
gers, put the trsmps of. They made a
desperate fight, but we're finally repulsed
and left behind.
As the cold weather approaches. these
bipeds are getting very bold and branen.
