H0boes Break Jail.

Judge VIM. Murray and Chief
Of Police Shields are rounding up
every hobo who sticks his head
into Minot. Every day
they scour the Olaf A. Olson
woods which seems to be the
favorite rendezvous of the lazy
fellows. Friday night Murray
was confronted by a stranger who
said someone was attempting to
kill a man in the woods. He went
to the scene and found fifteen bad
looking fellows and drove them
out but made no arrests. Mon
day morning another report was
brought to him saying that two
tramps were holding up a man
on the 500 track. Murray went
in pursuit of the fellows and found
two burly customers attempting
to make a man buy a cheap ring
of them. The man had refused
and was bounced upon and badly
pounded. Murray arrested one
of them and the other one, a big
275 FOUNDER ran into the river.
The water was too deep for him.
Murray picked up a club and
struck him over the head with it
several times and the fellow gave
up.
The two were given a hearing
and sent to jail for fifty days
each. Tuesday another hobo
was arrested for selling cheap
and suspicious iewelry on the
street. He was also placed in
the city jail. Towards evening
Murray went to the jail and
found door post almost cut
away. Later in the night the
three made their escape by break
ing out the back end of the cells.
Sunday night at 10 O'Clock a
hobo came to the home OF Judge
Murray begging for something
to eat. He was not given any
thing and going over the tracks,
cried to three other fellows, Its
no use. There is someone at
home" 1t is believed that had
no one been in the house, a rob-
berry would have taken place.
Murray says the woods will be
searched each day and every
hobo arrested. Bread and water
will be their diet.
