ITEMS FROM
NEW CASTLE.

NEW SaStle, JUNE IT Two lAaihP'
spent last night in the New Castle
Jail although many here expressed
an opinion that the men should not
be kept here considering the action
of the State authorities in prosecu
ting four men because tramps were
! kept at the Jail. During the course
of the afternoon Mayor Boyd re.
ceived telegram that spe cial
freight train coming up the Della
ware road was at the mercy OF an
army of tramps who had the train
crew in terror. Accordingly Mayor
Boyd went to the station and was
there when the train started across
the cut off. About fifteen of the
hoboes jumped off and eight OF
them went into a bar room. AS
Mayor Boyd and Officer Harrington
entered the place the men showed
fight. One of the men attacked the
Mayor with a railroad spike. Quick
as a flash the Mayor sent his two
hands to the fellows throat in mill
tary style. Down went the bnlley's
arms and he was marched to the
pavement and placed in Watts wa
gon which was used as patrol wa
gon.
Meanwhile the officer had tus-
sic with another of the gang and
then Officer Tobin appeared on the
scene On the way to the Jail one
of the men escaped from the wagon
A citizen who attempted to stop him
off was knocked down for his pains.
Later he was captured and landed
in a cell at the Jail. Two wagons
brought in three more and then a
chase after three men who escaped
began. 1t was learned that they
had boarded a trolley car for Will
mington and Mayor Boyd telephon-
ed to Chief Black in Wilmington to
watch for the men but they and
two others got off at the Whining
ton and Northern road. The five
men who were lodged in Jail were
there time and time again in the
tramp cell. They called the citizens
by names and seemed quite at home
In former years such Il crowd OF
tramps as come up on the tram
would be frequent occurrence.
Suppose the jail was still in eXls-
lance why there would be at least
forty tralnps here Of Il night at this
season. What could be done with
them but put them in jail. The men
would be liable to arrest for tres
pass ii found along the railroad
tracks. they could not stop in Viii
mington and 50 they selected New
Castle. The people here had to fur
nish these mon coffee in the morn
ING for they would start begging,
and would keep the food and drink
the coffee. Mayor Boyd furnished
the men with breakfast this
morning. and telegraphed for
the railroad men to come upand
testify against the five men. 1t was
Il pleasant place to be last night i'll Il
cell without any furnishings.
