TRILINGUAL POLYGLOTS
Recorder Jobs, Naturalist, CIassifies New Varieties of the Genus Hobo.

The brakebeam travellers are follow ing the cushion tourists rather earlier than usual this year and it may be said that the hobo season is now opened. The formal declaration was made yes terday by the city recorder in his re- marks preliminary to the sentencing Of q bunch of five rod-artists to jail life for periods ranging from fifteen to thirty days with casual and significant suggestions as to sixty and ninetyd day possibilities The recorder said he made his remarks in extenso as d duty he owed to the public that travels with out passes or tickets. He felt that it would be unkind to permit the idea to gain wide circulation that hobos could come here to enjoy the mild winter weather with prospects of only five or ten days under Marshal Kinney's new electric clock. He thought it only fair that a high standard of punishment should be set at the beginning of the season.
 Ward Tyler and George Hodgiliss. th.. latter claiming to De q bricklayer. were caught in Marshal Kinney's net Wed nesday afternoon at the Cottage sa- loon. They said they were in the act of reading a Phoenix peper preparatory to answering an advertisement for cooks wanted when the cold and clam my hand of the law was laid upon them. Previously a man in q green suit had suggested to them the possibility of em- ployment at q b"ickyard four miles west of town. and he was to phone them yesterday at the Cottage saloon. but they were in jail and of course could not get the message. After making the proposition the man in the green suit left through the back door. The re- corder is of the opinion that the story is a black lie; that the men who are of yellow complexion were looking for a blue job in a purple brickyard when their plans were interfered with by a red headed officer. Ward said he was from Chicago and that the doctors there had performed an operation on his neck to remove a bad case of tuber- cuiosis in the throat. then sent him here for his health. In proof he placed the neck with a big scar on it in evil dence. Hodgkiss was jailed for twenty days and Ward was given an extra ten. making a total of thirty, so his neck would have more time to heal.
 During Wednesday night the police raided box car and found it full of live meat. One man who was more ac- tive than the rest took to the brush. but John Myer, Steve Comtio and Mike Miller were landed in the municipal game bag. Steve had $6 and Mike had $1. The only excuse Mike could give for having S1 was that he got out of Tucson too soon. The bunch had start ed west and he laid over a day in Tue son with a moleskin full of Cananea money intending to break a few of the gambling games there. He had a dollar when he moved on and caught up with his friends here. All three were fer eigners, and it seemed to the court that none of them could talk the same lan- guage two minutes in succession. The one the court couldn't understand at all undertook to interpret for ali three with the result that each was sentenced to fifteen days in jail. Then the recorder descended from his high position and began to call names. He told the off, cers to remove from the court room the objectionable "trilingual polyglots."
