THE TRAMP QUESTION

Becoming Very Serious With the Ii. u o.
For some time past the Baltimore
and Ohio trainmen have been wrestl-
ing with the tramp problem says the
Cumberland Times, but seems
further off today, as far as a solution
is concerned, than before, as the
nuisance is growing in such dimen-
sions that trainmen are unable to
cope with it, and drastic means will
have to be used by the company for
its abatement
Last night thirty-iive tramps
boarded q second division freight
near Evitt's Creek. Some were white
and some We're black, while all were
fierce and insolent. The conductor
said he would show them place
along the line where men were
wanted, aud they said all right show
us the place.
When the new cut off near Patter-
sons Creek was reached the train
slowed up and the conductor went
up to the gang and said, ''now boys
get off, here's your place to get work,
and where you see that light the boss
lives" Not one of the tramps moved
but several of them laughed.
The conductor perfectly Disguised
with the rable left them and the
train went on at its usual speed.
1t was impossible for the train crew
to put the tramps Off, AS they were
four to one and II desperate set at
| that.
The entire Baltimore and Ohio
system is overrun with would be
work hunters who are only tramps
and positively refuse to work. They
intimidate the yard men as well az
/ the train men. as they travel iii
punches and are we'll armed for q
fight at any time. The plague is be-
coming serious and something must
soon be done to check it.

and through Friendsville he was seen

shafts. About half mile north of
Friendsville he was picked up in a
semi-conscious condition and brought
back to town where an examination
OF his injuries revealed the fact that
he had lost considerable flesh from
coming in contact with the rocks that
strew the road. Nearly all his toe
nails were missing and he was almost
entirely denuded of clothing. He
was cared for at the Crawford House
by Proprietor Frazee and sent home

irving here few nights ago. Mr..
Speelman was found Sunday morning
in a field at the top of Elder hill and

That Garrett county will take the
lead of the wheat raising counties of
Western Maryland within the next
few years there is little doubt. The
climatic conditions existing here for
the successful growing of the all
necessary cereal are well-nigh per-
feet. The harvest of the wheat fields
has begun and indications point to a
yield that will out-rival that of the
counties of Frederick and Washing
ton where the average yield this year
is about twenty-five bushels to the
acre.

charge of Rev. James Smith, of Indi-

in attendance is much larger than in
former years. Nearly every boarding
house and hotel in the Park is filled
to overlooking, and in some instances
numerous would-be patrons at the

the wife of Best died eight years ago
and gave the child, then six days old,
to the grandmother to rear as her
own. The grandparents, who are
well-to-do, had reared and cared for
the child as their own. 1t was shown
that the father was living'in bachelor
quarters with no female about the
premises to care for the little girl.
