THE TRAMPS' HEARING.
Conclusive Evidence That These Men Arc
the Robbers.

Al the hearing of the tramps. whose
arrest on suspicion of having COM
mitted the recent burgularies, was
noted Yesterday morning, the tramps
gave their names and residences as fol-
lows: John Beamish. Moosic; John
Howartf, Colorado; John McGoVern'
Plymouth. Beamish Is apparently
about %, McGovern, 2S, and Howarth
about 30. The first two are ordinary
looking tramps, but Howarth Is the
toughest looking mug" ever gracins
the prisoners bench in the mayors
court.
The prisoners denied an acquaintance
with each other until tripped up by the
mayors cro3s-examination. Wheh
Howarth was asked to account for MS
appearance, he said he arrived in town
from Findlay. Ohio, two days ago. and
that Yesterday while strolling in the
woods at the west end of North street
bridge ne was accosted by gang of
tramps, who asked him to take drink
from a bottle. He complied and they
further asked him to take some cigars
and tobacco to the Jail for some friends
OF Inelr VINO were COuhiicu thciS aiAN
he refused. They thereupon knocked
him down, kicked him terribly. stripped
him Of a good suit Of clothes and threw
him into the river. He swan for the
opposite shore and would have drowned
were 1t not for the assistance of a boy
in a row boat. The mans appearance
and condition at the time OF arrest con-
firmed the statement of the prisoner,
but the officers contend that Howarth
was a part of the gang and that the
fight was the result Of misunder-
standing among themselves.
The missing goods was identified in
part by those who had been burglarized,
and the tramps were held for a further
hearing on Monday morning at 10
O'Clock. These men are the men who
robbed Alexander Dicks residence and
several other places on that side Of the

strange In the number Of diseases that
Hoods sarsaparilla Is able to cure. So
many troubles result from impure blood
that the best way to treat them is through
the blood. and 1t is far better to use only
harmless vegetable compounds than to
dose to excess with quinine. calomel and
other drugs. BY treating the blood. with
Hoods sarsaparilla, scrofua. salt rheum

dyspepsia. catarrh, rheumatism, neuralgia,
