The Tramp Nuisance.
There was a time, not many years since, |
when the wayfarer, or travelling stranger, !
was looked upon as an object worthy of
every consideration, and was taken in, fed |
slept and sent on his way the next morn
ing rejoicing. There seems, however, to
be a wide difference between the travelling
stranger of those good old days and the
lazy, good-for-nothing tramp of modern
times The latter appears TO be the out
growth of the railroad, and is to ne found
wherever is heard the locomotives whistle.
He is q tourist. and travels from one side OF
the continent 10 the other, on the brake
beams, of course, and spends the summer
months at the mountain or seaside re-
sorts. as best suits his fancy: He IS
not at all particular about his toilet,
and for food is satisfied with
whatever he can beg at the kitchen
door. or gather from the swill receptacle at
the rear of hotels and restaurants. He is
not. as general thing, highwayman or
g,uroter, but will gather up any small
thing that comes in his way, and IS terrier
to hen-roosts. orchards, melon patches and
vegetable gardens. Sacramento has her
share of them but, as . general thing, they
move on after a short stay, as the police
watch them closely, and pull them on the
first opportunity There is quite a
camp of them located just north of the
north levce and the vineyards IN that part
of the city suffer nightly from their ralds.
Napa paper says "One hundred cIti-
zens of St Helena, deeming forebearance no
longer a virtue, organized the other day
and marched up and down both banks OF
Napa- river. warming the tramps, under
penalty of arrest and imprisonment, to
leave the town and valley within thirty
minutes The tramps saw that the citizens
meant business, and one and all shouidercd
their blankets and marched on for pastures
green
