A ..Hobo" Comes to Grief.

A. Jorgenson, dilapidated looking
tourist of the genus 'hobo," blew into
our office Monday and unfolded a tale
of woe that would almost make stone
image weep. He stated that he was
travelling from California to Chicago
by the side-door Pullman route; that
he had come as far as Weir. a station
six miles west of .Julesburg, where he
was elected from a freight train by
the trainmen because he would not
pay his fare, He further stated that
after being thrown from the train he
was assaulted by a brakeman and suf-
fered sundry jolts and bruises, besides
having new hat torn to pieces.
,Jorgensons object in unfolding his
grief to us was to have us publish his
statement of wrongs in the hope that
the cruel brakeman, reading it, would
hasten to the proper officers, give him
self up and submit to whatever pun
ishment might be meted out to him.
We therefore publish Jorgenson's
statement as we received it: we would
also publish a statement of the case
from the trainmen, but have not been
able to obtain one.
