SIDE DOOR PULLMANS.
Excurslon;sls who go 2c00 Miles
 For If y Cents.
The Hobo and Some More of His Didos-brakeman WiIer Cleans
 Taem Out.

Hobo transportation, by side-door pullmans, is rapidly developing into a cience. At Los Angeles all the "grub" possible, vegetables and meats partic- ularly, are put aboard. These are replenlshed tt Yuma, Gila Bend and along the road. At Tucson they gre sure of bread. At Wilcox and Lords burg they h ,ld up Chinese restaurants for mere "feed." At Ell Paso they are run in by he authorities treated as vag-arts, aud fed as such-but they are fed-they eat and there's the compen- satiou. Then they are escorted to the limits of the city, faced towar the glorious rising sun and told to "GO!"
 But variations arise in the program. and innovations. Though the SoutheI n Pacific does not collect fare they are not without ticket'. These tickets cost fifty cents for an overland trip, instead of $50. The revenues be eng to the nucl1us of the gang. Every additional member is made to pay fifty cents for a ticket. These tickets ar9 queer affairs, of cardboard peculiarly punched aud marked.
 This cheap ticket has of late been displaciDg its gauiy bent and streaked rival, yard in length and hundred times as costly. At El Psso a "vagrant' was run in. "I'm no vag',' said he. ''I'u, only travelling this way with the @ fellows to save car fsr~. It's not g bad way to travel, and it's cheap. My family are on the road. They will meet n:e Eere tomorrow. See here! I've go' money Forthwith he produced the cash. He had proven he was no vagrant, and was allowed to depart and await his family.
 No doubt scores more who cross the territo. are availirg themselves of cheap rides.
 Ths Jig gangs that went through here a few days ago consolidated between here and E Paso. When they reached the Texas town they were 365 strong - and diity and hungry as ever. Tuesday morning at Deming one of the gang was seriously wounded by another, and six of them were detained by Sheriff Laird.
 BRAKEMAN wILER AND THE TRAMPs.
 Brakeman Wiler is not afraid of the biggest ard meanest tramp that ever accompanied him from Tucson to Lordsburg.
 A day or two ego gang broke the seals of loaded car at Lordsburg just as the tram was moving out, and jump ed aboard, to help themselves of the contents en route. They had not count ed on Wi.er, however. "You-"- but what he said would not appear well. Anyway be sailed into those trampe ID way that astonished them. With his brake stick he went at them, the whole duz-n, cleared the car of them, and pulled out of Lordsburg without them.
 ONE ROUND OF TRAMPs.
 They are going into California as fas, as they are leaving, the fRvorite route west with these tourists being the sc nic Atlantic & Pacific. Eastward they pr. fir ihs balmy cline of southern Arlzoi d, and take the Southern Pacific.
 On the 4 lantic & Pacific they are fed and fare well. They got bread a Id coffee at Albuquerque, restaurant meals Rt kis gman. and mora meals and an escort at Flagstaff.
