he went under and was drowned
Under Water Only Twenty Minutes.

Festive Spirit Returns to Gloom.

TWO PONIES ARE STOLEN

folk, Did the Stealing.
urrom Thursdays pnltyl

Two ponies belonging to G. w. EV.
ans. who lives In the southwest part
of the city, were stolen yesterday by
unknown parties, and have not yet
been recovered. The ponies were pick
ctcd out on ropes, and the ropes were
cut by the horsethleyos. Efforts To
trace the robbers have been made, but
as yet to no avail.
II is believed by many In the neigh
borhood of MIR. Evans home that the
thieves are some of the large gang OF
tramps who have been hanging around
the Junction round house for the past
two weeks, unmolested by the Nor
folk police. Many complaints are be-
ing made over the city because of the
dilatory methods in which the police
force of Norfolk have allowed these
hoboes to remain In the city.
twenty-five Tramps In Gang.
II Is said that there are at least
twenty-five tramps and crooks In the
gang. They have been loafing down
around the Elkhorn river, putting
kegs of beer under their belts and
dropping into town when they chose.
Several of them have been peddling
articles of various sorts throughout
the town and, according to the word
of one who has sold needles and col
lar buttons, they have reaped good
harvest here without having had to
pay any city license whatever.
Police Officer Uecher says that
Happy Harry" Thompson Is still loi'
tering about the town. Thompson

could be sent up on jail breaking

Look out for next week. With a
big tent show in town and this moh
of tramps and crooks loailng around
until the crowds get here, 1t Is easily
apparent that there will be good rea'
son why the citizens of Norfolk should
be on their guard from the work OF
these thugs. Doors should be locked
at all times, people In the crowds
should keep their hands on their pock
etbooks, and police who will do some
thing to rid the community of the
gang ought to be put on as specials.

schools, and an expert in criminology,

study into the ways and the works Of

this statement concerning himself does
the once highly respected man make.
This is that he would not have fallen

instinct, which was undeveloped until
his delving into criminology brought

Box Car In Norfolk-Was Anxious
to Read Of Atkinson Crooks.
"Mush fakirs" Is the term applied
by the tramp profession to that class
of hoboes who repair umbrellas along
their route. II is a unique name, de.
rived in unique manner and the
origin was explained to The News by
n tramp who had dropped in to get a
supply of exchanges.
Have you got any Atkinson or
O'Nelll exchanges?" he asked.
what do you want to see-the story
of the buns arrested at Atkinson and
jailed at O'Neill?"
Yes, that's right"
He was shown the report from At
kinson which told of the umbrella
vender who was caught tapping TILL
"Oh, mush fakir, was he?" ex-
claimed the tramp visitor
what do you mean by that?" was
queried.
Umbrella Resembles Mushroom.
"Why, an umbrella resembles a
mushroom" said the hobo, "and so
we call the umbrella man 'mush
fakir.'
He said. when questioned about It,
that he had heard on the street Of the
gang arrested at Atkinson, but he de-
MED all knowledge of the crowd who
broke Jail in Norfolk, and declared
that Happy" Harry Thompson has
not been around here for some time.
This particular tramp has been in
town for more than week.
"Mush Fakirs" Make Money.
The "mush fakirs" make money, ac-
cording to the tramp. Don't you ever
think they don't make anything" he
said, "for they will clean up 81 or IS
every day. It's just like it is in
everything else, the good workman
will make more than a poor one.
Some of them are thieves, just as
some of every class of people are
thieves" declared the tramp. Some
of them will use their umbrellas as a
blind to get the lay of the land, but
any peddler does this There are,
however, some mush fakirs who work
straight"
Honesty Best Policy for Tramp.
Honesty Is the best policy, even for
a tramp, according to this knight of
the ties. 1--WE knocked around the
world a good deal" he said-and he
looked the part-and | know that 1t
pays to be honest A fellow may be
ornery for a time and win at it, but
sooner or later they will get you, and
in the long run honesty pays best"
What is your line?" was ventured.
81 peddle collar buttons and needles, ~
said the tramp, "and I've done well
at II in Norfolk, too"
"How much do you maker"
ooh, ordinarily 81 a day and If
wanted to work eight or nine hours
I could do better at 1t than that. In
towns where the field has been worked
ahead of me, it isn't so good, but
where there is a clear field. make
good money"
Needed No License Here.
What about a license, didn't you
have to have one here?"
NO" said the tramp, 81 haven't
been bothered here. In towns where
they get after me, If the field justifies
it take out license, If 1t doesn't
move on"
The fellow said that he was shin
gler by trade, and had quit work last
winter because he hurt his foot He
has worked two days in Norfolk al

had to quit,
