pistol and fred several shots at him.
Nails then stopped and allowed him
self to be taken into custody. By this
time Officer Young had arrived on the
scene and aided Mr.. Park in coping
with the tramps. Mr.. Young, realizing
that two men could not cope with the
large number of vagabouds which were
known to be in the vicinity of the de-
pot, teleponed to the station house for
reinforcements. The relief of eight
officers were at the police station at the
time, and, in charge of Lieutenant
Smith, they made forced march to
the depot and captured fourteen of the
nomads. This morning Nails was sent
to the chain gang for ninety days and
SIX others for thirty days. Two of the
