~
Hobo Methods.
Two of our we'll known youngsters
boarded a Southern train one night
last week and went to Alexandria
saws the Manassas Democrat. In
that place they were advised by a
man not to buy a ticket but to jump
on the train and ride home free. They
boarded a train and when about a
mile from Alexandria they discovered
to their dismay that they were riding
on the r F. & P, instead of the train
which was to bring them home. They
kept their places until they arrived
in Fredericksburg Upon reaching
this city, they were found by Officer
Tansill and Mayor Rowe, who came
to their assistance when it was found
they did not have money enough to
return to Manassas. The Fredericks-
burg officials helped the lads and
they returned here Friday.
