The Hainey habeas corpus case is to
como up for further hearing before Judge
Aylesworth this morning. Some more
filth ia promised, some Witnesses being
summoned who claim to have seen come
queer acts between Mrr. HaIney and the
man Hinckley.
Among the tramps who were run In
Sunday for sleepipg In freight cars, was
a boy of sixteen, who claimed to be an
orphan, from Logansport, Ind, who had
been living with a farmer, and working
for his board aud clothes. he said he was
not being treated kindly, and 80 skipped
out, and had succeeded In workingh his way
a. far as here, and wanted to get to his
uncle who lives in Nebraska City. He
was allowed to go on his way.
Seventeen tramps were brought into

average age proved to be "a years.
There Is evidently something wrong
when 80 many young, able bodied men
are roaming about the country Instead of
having steady employment and happy
homes. Nearly all these rovers are
young men, and il their statements are
taken for truth few have families or other
responsibilities to take their wages when
they earn any.
Yesterday morning the quartet of
tramps who raised such a row at the
Union Pacific bridge the other day were
brought before Judge Aylesworth on a
charge of assaulting the Waterman, John
Plerson. These tramps attempted to
steal q ride over on the dummy train, and
had to be put off three times, and then
when Plerson insisted on their going back
to where they started, they attempted to
pound him. The fight WAS a hard one,
but they succeeded In forcing their way
of the bridge on this side, and now three
or four will stay here, at least for fifteen
days, and will board at the county jail.
The fourth one was discharged, he having
had little to do with the row. The trio
are hard looking fellows, and have just
served two weeks in Omaha on bread and
water, being convicted as Migrants.
Pat Villlsos, who has had rather q SEN
sAtional career as q hackman, and for an

the charge of ~overcharging two passen.
gers whom he took from the @. B. & @,
depot to the transfer. The two were an
old German woman and her young son,
neither of whom were able to talk En-
glIsh. Villisca charged them three dol.
lars, when the allowed charge would only
have been fifty cents apiece. His only
defense was the claim that he had made
D contract with the two, said contract,
according to his statement, being that he
told them he woald got them to the
depot In time to take the
train for three dollarc, and that
the boy said all right, and they got in.
1t seemed quits evident that neither of
the two understood English enough to
know their rights or to understand the
contract. The judge gave a sharp lee
ture about the tricks of hackmen, and
