A CONFLICT WITH TRAMPS.

AS train No. % pulled out over the
B. & o. Saturday night, Dick Kane
and man by the name Of Dunlap, to-
gether with couple Of others, board
ed one of the freight cars and found
themselves with four tramps. Every
thing worked smoothly between the
trip stealers until they reached point
about ten miles west of Bellaire.
Here the tramps ordered the new
corners to leave the car or there would
be serious trouble. The newcomers
hesitated, whereupOn the trampS dis
played revolvers and began to search
Kane's pockets. He tore himself from
their grasp and jumped from the car.
AS it was going at pretty lively rate,
he lost his balance and sustained some
very painful bruises as he fell. They
then ordered the other three to hand
over what they possessed, and lively
scuff1e ensued, in which one of the
newcomers was beaten over the head
with a revolver and seriously hurt.
After while the three men escaped
from the car, leaving the tramps in
full possession.
Kane and Dunlap made their way
back to this city and notified the po-
lice. They in turn notified the au-
thorities all along the line to Barnes
vile to keep strict vigil for the four
tramps.
The marshal of GAINESVILLE arrived
in the city yesterday, and with Mar
shall Bahra and Dunlap and Kane, left
last night for that place to allow the
latter two to identify the four pilgrims
of the rail. who were arrested yeSter-
Gay morning.

A BOLD ROBBER.

Yesterday morning about 2 o'clock
William Crawford entered W. S. Car
rolls grocery store on Thirty-third
street, between Guernsey and Bel
mont, by way of the transom over the
front door. He lighted every gas jet
and busted himself about the store as
though he was an employe, in order to
distract the attention of the passers-
by. In assuming this character he be-
came quite careless and made suffi-
cient noise to rouse the proprietor,
who occupied a sleeping apartment
above the store. Mr. Carroll crept
quietly down stairs and was surprised
20 find himself face to face with the
intruder. He cautioned the man to
remain where he was and Immediately
telephoned for an officer. Lieutenant
ONeill and Officers James Johnson
and Charles Johnson were soon on the
scene, and Crawford was locked up.
His hearing before the Mayor will
take place some time to-day.

Frank Benton. one Of the most prominent

crease the supply. He attributes the rise
In the price of cattle TO the fact that the
demand for beef cattle exceeds the supply
and that growing population Will keep
the price OF cattle up for some years til
the supply cntchcs up. This In his judgment
makes the cattle business one OF the most
profitable enterprises open TO capital In the
West.
