annual raids of the yeggman, accord

home of the most dangerous class of
criminals, sounds, through the medi-

surrounding districts. especially
towns that number few inhabitants
and have little or no police protec-

Yeggs may be accepted as a peer

cold months, and with the coming of
frost will come announcements OF
safe blowing in this and that town,
followed by the successful escape
of the band. They are seldom caught
and in a majority of instances get
away without arousing the public.
These criminals travel as tramps
but operate as experts. When cap
tured by railroads or city police dur
ing their travels, they usually resort
to the role of honest laborers out of
work and flash Union cards to make
good their claims. sThese cards are,
for the most pa t, forged. but they
