FUEL FOR THE TRAMPs.
They Steal the Waste From the Car
Wheel Boxes.

Special TO Times -Republican.
Fort Dodge, Feb. THE Central road
is experiencing an exasperating time at
the hands of tramps who are stealing
waste and brasses from their freight
trains. Yardmaster Meek stated that
the repair men We're kept busy these
cold days putting in fresh waste in the
boxes of the freight cars. Hot boxes
are common. Last Sunday was busy
day with the road and there were be-
tween forty and fifty cars that needed
fresh waste, besides seventeen new
brasses We're put in. The tramps use
the waste to build fires with. 1t lights
easy and throws out great deal of
heat. 1t is a very convenient and prac-
teal method in use among the hobo
element for heating a can of coffee
cooking rabbit or chicken. One train
last Sunday had eight hot boxes as a
result of the waste taken from around
the car journals. The thefts are gen.
eraly made when the cars are standing
on some lonely siding and 1t appears to
be impossible to break UP the practice.
