The grist of tramps, eight in num-
Der. who were Jailed Tuesday evening,
were given hearing in Judge Bend
er's court this afternoon. Thomas
O'Niel was the man accused of using a
knife on one Harry Brophy during
street fight, and he stood pat and
| asked for a jury trial. The jury con-
sisted of Q. M. Hefferlin, G.. M. Wins
low, w. E. Mullholland, Chas. Cannop,
w. B. Altimus and John Sax. To these
six men the accused told his story. He

would not produce so cents which he
was supposed to have in his jeans for
the purpose of replenishng can from

jury evidently believed his story, for
they brought in verdict of not guilty.
The man he cut with the knife while
he was being beaten will recover and
is getting along nicely under the care

William Howard, one of the gang of
hoboes, was found guilty and got 80
days in Jail. He will be required to
spend his time at hard labor, according

| month, Ray Kaufman was discharged
! from custody, no evidence being found
against him. The man injured in the
| row, Harvey Brophy, will be given a
| trial as soon as he RECEIVERS sufficiently

is strongly in favor of suppressng the
hobo element at all hazards, to prevent
results that may be greatly deplored.
