| City Treasurer Rays leaves this morn
ing for the East, having been granted a
30 days leave of absence ~ the City
COUNCIL at its last meeting. Rumor
has it that friend Rays has wearied of
single unblessedness and has determined
to join tho thronging army Of Benedicks.
Hence this trip. The HERALD, by antic-
ipation, wishes him all the joys Of life in
his new venture and trusts that an early
day will see him among us again.
Word was brought to the police sta
ton, at late hour last night, that a
tramp was creating disturbance at the
residence Of Mr. freshman, OH Fort
street. An officer was at once sent to
look after the fellow, but he had made
himself scarce ere the policeman's arri-
val. He is no doubt, one Of the gang
which has recently invaded the city.
The police will make this place hot for
them before they get through with them.
The rumored arrival Of a band of six
teen tramps, some from Cotton and some
from Yuma, yesterday, has created con-
siderable excitement. The leader of
the ruifians is said to be q shrewd,
active and desperate fellow. Most of
them are armed and it is probable that
lively times will be seen before all of
them are pulled in. 1t would be well
for those who are on the streets late at
night to be on their guard against the
footpads.
