A Hop-Picker Who Objects to Being
Classed as Such.
P. Kerns, who was tried at Perkins on
Saturday on charge of vagrancy, and
discharged, is very acknowledgements
justly so. He says he had been laboring
in the hop-fields in that neighborhood,
and on Saturday night week ago went
to Perkins and drank some hop-pickers'
delight.
When he came to he found that he had
developed into fulfil blown vagrant and
been carted off to the County Jail by a
local Constable. There he was left for
five days before given q chance in court
to disprove the charge of vagrancy,
which he did in two minutes.
~ There is quite difference between a
man getting drunk and being vagrant.
