Thomas Kelley, a typical hobo, had his
wanderings brought to an abrupt termI-
nation in the police court this morning. For
begging on the streets, imbibing too much
liquor and striking man who refused to
contribute 10 his support, Kelley was given
six months in the workhouse.
Kelley solicited aims from Thomas Smith
az Four-and a-half street and Pennsylvania
avenue, but was told to make himself
scarce. He resented this advice by striking
Smith in the face.
