Declare War on Hoboes

GLOBE-''W Weary William" will re- ceive no sympathy from the Globe po lice department, as is evidenced by the activity of Lloyd and Futile yesterday morning early, when they found N. Hagan and J. M. Hornsby, saving Sood' in a box car in the local freight yards.
 These Williams were lodged in the city jail to appear before Judge Moore on a charge of vagrancy. There is too much work over the country, explain the cops, to let such characters take life easy off the other fellow.-Arizona Record.

 MIAMY-Stealing the Cadillac car belonging to David McLain, a driver on the Copper Hill run, thieves succeeded in completely wrecking the machine. a late hour Saturday night near the Bonne slaughter house, south of Globe, where it had burned.
 The machine was stolen earlier in the evening from the garage at Copper Hill. Its loss was discovered a short time after the car was removed and the theft reported to the authorities. A search was immediately instituted and an hour later the wrecked machine was found near the slaughter house.
