CLEANING UP
 THE MIGRANTS


 combined forces of all the officers in this part of the country kept busy all day yesterday pulling every man whose means of livelihood seemed in the least doubtful. It might pe said that steady stream of officers with their prisoners extended from the streets to the jail and from the jail to the justice office.
 IL is the purpose of the authorities to cleanse Risbee as it nas never been cleansed before and when the crusade prayer of thanksgiving go up from the residents of the city for the good work of the officers.
 The arrests were begun on Wednes- day evening, the first to feel the arm of he law being w. H. Denman who informed the court that he was a re- mittance man from somewhere in the east. He was told by the court, after giving out the information that he had been in the city for period of nearly two weeks and during that time had not been caught at any kind. of work, that he would be required to pay fine of $40 or serve forty days h the county bastile. Denman put up an e.oquent spiel to the eli cL that if his remittance would only hurry up and ger here b. fore the Ii limit set by the court that he wuu d gladly pay it over 5o the judge and rem in in the camp He must have changed his mind for he was seen at hour of midnight, making track down the canyon.
 NJ J. Mullen. hanger-on about the saloons of the city. entered plea of not guilty to the charge set up against him and demanded a jury trial. His trial will come up before Justice Brown this morning at Il o'clock.
 John ROssi was termed vagrant in the charge which the honorable jus tice read to him bat he also took ex- c-ptious 10 the term aud his trial comes up at the afternoon session of Judge Browns court at o'clock.
 Louis Darcy, who bit the town about the same time as did Rossi, and who is supposed to be a brother of tLe latter, was also arraigned Cn charge of vsg- ging it. He pleaded not guilty to the charge aud his trial will follow that nf hiG hrCt
 Frank $ inkard appeared at the tri- bunal of justice yesterday evoping and was formally charged with the same crime as the others. Slinkard offered Tn defense of his position that he was miner, although he has not worked at that occupation for many moons, and stated to the court that be was not dependent on anybody for his sup port as he had always pa d his way. Alter hearing the definition of va. grant ss set forth in iha $ atuJrs Slink- ard remarked that there was nothing for him to do but plead guilty to the would be hard to ii i'd man in the city who would not come under the head of vagrant. The court res, rS ed it's de- clsion in the case of Slinkard until 10 this morning wh. n he will know his fate. Bail was set at $50 This was promptly furnished by man named Zeien and the defend. nt wa released from custody to await the decision of the court in his case.
 At a late hour last night the officers were still making arrests of men who had TO visible means Of support and at the rate at which they were gathering in the victims it looked doubtful if the jail would contain them all.
 The condition that coIfron tle of fcers in Bsbee is lbe me that they had to contend against in DOrglss but a few weeks ago. The ioaIer route took many of the evil doers ftom the shelter city ard it is undoubtedly the most effective manner of q, posing of the riff raff here.
