There were six industrious tramps at
Hancock hall Tuesday. All day long The
busy saw made music, and before night
three or four cords of wood had been put in
the building, sawed and neatly piled. 1t is
not necessary to add that the tramps were
not of the professional variety. They
| were men willing to work, and bound for
the Shore Line. They arrived in Els
worth Monday, and Tuesday morning
City Marshal Silvy told them they could
saw little wood. The men asked il they
could stay all day and another night if
they would saw all the wood. The city
marshal closed the bargain. The men
worked faithfully, and enjoyed the day.
They seized the opportunity to do their
that they were well fed, and Wednesday
morning they set out for the Shore Line.
Such men as these ought not be ION the
road. TIE city entertained nine tramps
Tuesday night seven at Hancock hall
aud two at the jail.
