out from Fort Gratiot Monday evening three
hard looking tramps got into freight ear

revolvers, declared they were bound To reach
Detroit to catch the circus and were going TO
ride on the train if they had to run ii them
selves. One of the etrain men suggested send
ing at once te Mt. Clemens for officers, but
the tramps went ahead to the engine

their revolvers, told him to open the
throttle and make the best time he knew
how under pain of death. Waterwood
being at their mercy. compiled. At Frazer
station, five miles from the Milwaukee
Junction, the conductor succeeded III getting
n dispatch to the main Office at Detroit
asking for assistance. The railroad authori-
ties communicated with the police, and in
less than half an hour Sergeant High and a
squad of policemen were on the way TO Fraser
station on a special engine. The tramps evi-
IDENTITY suspected that reinforcements were
coming. as they Jumped the train before the
engine with the officers reached the station.
A local constable who tried to arrest them
