The box car tourists are not slow in
catching on to the soft things of this
life, and the latest they have struck in
Ell Paso. The Santa Fe company have
been calling for men to work out along
their line at various points and no
small number OF this hobo element
have applied for transportation to the
various places north of here on a pre-
tence that they were going to work
for the company.
Trackman Johns of that line has
charge of employing and shipping
these men. While the reporter was
talking to Mr.. Johns Yesterday two
fellows approached and one of them
asked to be shipped to wherever the
Santa BE needed men. Mr.. Jhons in
formed him that he was ready to send
him to La Junta right away where the
company needed men badly. The sec
ond man then approached, SO badly
crippled in the right leg that he could
scarcely navigate. Il would like to go,
too, said the fellow. Just to get a
free ride, eh?'' said Mr.. Johns,
and it only needed one more
question to get the track boss riled up.
as it were. The fellow said: "Why do
you accuse me of that?'' then he list
Because [ have been deceived in you
fellows enough to made hog sick
The last shipment L sent out of here
consisted of twenty-five able-bodied
men. They were sent to Gallup, N. M.
They left here apparently happy be-
cause they were going to place where
they could find work. Out of the
twenty-five which left here
only two went to work as they
promised. The rest skipped. You
can t do any work after you get there
and you don't intend to work" The
conversation ended because the fellow
had left. Prior to having this task
imposed upon him by the railroad com
pany Mr.. Johns looked upon every
an as being honest. but this duty is
changing the color of his disposition as
well as his hair.
