 Tramps Are Plentiful YUMA-More tramps have been seen on the streets of Yuma this winter than has been noticed for some years. During the war and the year after the war when everyone was making money tramps in Yuma were few and far between. But at the present time.
 with factories closing down in the east and money becoming scarcer and Isearcer, more tramps are passing daily through Yuma than have been within
 the city for some time. There is
 hardly a day which goes by except that some one is arrested for vagrancy and business men of the streets are approached a good many times during the day for enough to get a meal" l-Morning Sun.
