THE TRAMP ROUNDUP
Police Make General Raid and Sc
cure Many Recruits for the
Chain Gang.

The police made a general roundup
Of tramps yesterday morning just at
day break and succeeded In corralling
twenty-five Of the rampant vagrants.
When Alderman Fitzsimmons got his
branding iron ready for business he
had herd of thirty-eight Of the Wan
dering Willie breed to face. Of this
numb twenty-five were stamped as
thoroughbreds and thirteen were al
lowed to 70.
The raid was we'll planned and we'll
executed. Four squads of officers.
each in charge of lieutenant moved
at dawn upon the various stamping
grounds of the tramps. Lieutenant
Davis with the central city squad
secured the woods and rocks Of Nay
Aug park. Lieutenant Spellman with
the Providence squad swoopsd down
upon the box cars in the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western switches al d
the mines about the North End.
Lieutenant Williams with the
Hyde Park men went through
the Diamond field and along
the Bloom tracks. The South Sice
contingent under Lieutenant Zlng
took in the mills and furnaces of the
Laekawanna Iron and Steel company.
While they succeeded in capturing
twenty-five OF the tramp army they
came far from getting all that are in
the city. However, 1t is safe to pre-.
dict that If another raid were made TO-
day not q half dozen tramps could be
found. When it is evident that our
police department mean business the
tramps will not linger long in this
vicinity.
Among those caught in the raid were
were several who gave good accounts
Of themselves aud were released. Two
were sent to the old station house in
Center street in the charge of Pat Glib
ride to prepare 1t for the reception of
the vagrants. The rest were consigned
to the chain gang and marched down
to the flats, where they were put to
work assisting the stone crusher in
breaking cobbles.
During the day one Of the gang
picked the lock of his manaceles and
slipped away. In the evening the gang
was marched to the Center street sta.
ton house and locked up for the night.
Ten days is the time each of them will
have to serve.
The new addition to the gang gave
their names as follows: Fred Kuntz,
Petersburg; Hugh Taylor, Jermyn
John Sullivan, nowhere; Frank Car
