y. PASADENA, Feb. 21.-Justice Merriam
had before him this afternoon five of the
toughest tramps it has ever been the for
tune of our police officers to gather in,
charged with highway robbery. They
were captured yesterday afternoon at
Fair Oaks, short distance this side of
Lamanda Park, where they were camped
in grove engaged in consuming wine,
one of the men stating that they got
away with four gallons, and incidentally
holding up any promising looking sub
ect that CHANGED to come along. The
last one, named Joseph Kayher, howev-
er, proved the cause of their downfall,
for he not only objected in a most vigor-
GUS manner to having his pockets picked,
but reported the matter to Marshal
Buchanan who, in company with Con-
stable Slater and Officer Orr, went out
and after hard fight captured five out
of gang OF seven,
When the case came up this afternoon
the prisoners demanded that the two
absent members of the gang be pro-
duced as witnesses this made post
ponement necessary and the hard look
ing five were remanded to the city lock-
up. During the progress of the investi-
CATION one of the vags became very i'm
pudent in his remarks and was only
subdued by being ordered locked up.
1t seems that the three cripples who
formed a part of this combina-
ton did the begging for the whole
crowd, one being minus an arm, another
q foot and the third a leg. The pro-
ceeds were invested in wine principally
and little bread Occasionally.
The whole five will probably prove an
ornament to the chain gang in few
days.
