ENCOUNTER WITH A TRAMP.

John Ednger engineer at the elec-
trio light plant near the gas house,
had an encounter with a tramp last
Friday night which he will not soon
forget. The hobo entered the boiler
room to sleep, and after being elected
found refuge in an empty car nearby.
The tramp was ordered off the prem
ises, and just as he emerged from the
car struck Edinger a vicious blow in
the face. The latter succeeded in over
powering the tramp, and telephoned to
police headquarters for assistance.
After OBTAINING the hobo several hours
and receiving no assistance from the
police the intruder was allowed to de-
part.
He did not go away, however with
out a severe trouncing, and it is safe
to say he will not encounter Mr.. Edin-
ger again. A second call was made
OIL the police for assistance, but no
officer put in an appearance. The en-
gineer received a slight cut over his
left eye, but the tramp got all that
was comm to him, and more, If the
report is true about the affair.
