MYSTERIOUS MANY SIGNS, The Knights Advertise a Meeting with Chalk—Odds and Ends -A Queer Divorce Suit Police Notes. War On the Tramps, The trial of four tramps arraigned in police court Saturday morning, brought * of light some interesting facts concerning depredations which the “organized ele- ment” of vagrants responsible for. | The four men were John Coliins, John Ronch, Frank Lewis, and William Kelley. They had been arrested by Special . Policemun Van Orman, assisted by some " of the farmers living in Florence and about Sulphur Springs, It appears from the testimony intro- duced in police court that for the past i} fow days an organized band of tramps, numbering about twenty v has been holding high ¢ ence and the surrounding country. They have been entering houses, bulldozing the women occupants into feeding them, and otherwise running things with a high hand. [t has become so that the ‘people in that of the afraid to venture out afterdark, or in the day time, unless well armed, for fear of running afoul of these ruflians. Fri | day afternoon these fell were par- ticularly bold, and were responsible for several acts of lawlessn One of the most daring was the highway robbery of two men on the St. Paul tracks, near Bulplmr Springs. The work was done | on the “‘looking glass” plan. The rob- | bers, four in numb (with a large re- gorve forco scattered about in the grass) stopped a .ab man who w: nguing home after hi ay's work, with th mark, “What makes your fice so di Iw" Tl\o follow innocently returned, “1 ou’re mistaki N t isn t,” returned the highwayman, “take this lookh\g rlass and see for yourself.” The victim unsuspec 1 the f]nss to his face, and wl ng long and cunmuy. flected therein, highwayman seize him, bound him b the arms, and robbed him of every cent Lc had. He was then released. Another man who came along about the same time was “‘put through in the same manner. By this time the feeling among the citi- gens of Florence and Sulphur Springs began to grow red-hot. Special Officer Van Orman, who occupies rooms in the boat house, took down his trusty shot- n and staited out to alarm the people, o s00n succeeded in ring a posse of about twenty-five '8 1 of them armed with rifles, ~gun revolvers, ete. This band swooped down upon the tramps and captured the main body of them without any resistance. ‘Ihen skir- mishers were sentout in direc- tion to hunt in the g undergrowth in_ that locality for the }nlssm ones who were known'to be hid- fter a half-hour’s hard work, the wtnl ‘round-up” proved to be twenty- five tramps, all of them strong, har aged men and desperate characters in every sense of the word. Some of them tried to escape, but they were promptly (i § boaded of.

Ross, gover- nor of New Mexico. Early in the pres- ent year, Mr. Ross, who is a good printer, obtained a steady position on the Albuguerque, N. M., Democrat, an evening democratic paper. [But to di- verge, Mr. Ross had been a senator from Kansas three years before, and con- sequently knew several people in high places.) He was a good democrat, and worked hard for the election of Mr. Cleveland, although working at the case in the Democrat office right along. On the first of March he drew his money from the oflice and anit. *“What did he do it for?’ was aquestion thatagitated the minds of quite a circle of his friends, He is a small, unostentations man, and but fow knew his object in sto ping work ‘so suddafly.

One of ‘tl this story is that it is true, of it. of \u\v every word ““This talk about hearing the whistling of a bullet is all nonsense” said an old army officer the other day. “You very often hear men say after they have been shot at that the ball came so close to them that they could hearit hum through the air.CJAs a matter of fact I don't be- lieve it is possible to hear a bullet no mat- ter how close it comes toa man’s ¢ It might be possible to feel the wind which its pussage creates, but [ don't believe there 18 an) pund.

They didn’t jump up in the air and take a dive forward, they just wilted right down to the ground. When a man’s shot dead his muscles are paralyzed, and from a_common_sense_standpoint’ it is tmpossible for him to jump. That may not be the theory of d«murs but it seemns to me to be common sense.” Fashion is very well, 1 1ts way, and ladies are perfectly right in following its requirements, as a general thing.

She naturally sented this treatment, which said was unbearable, but continued to live _with him beeanse she was unwilling to appeal to the courts for protection.

When he won 1t is said that he enjoyed the mon in viotous living. Whether he won o lost, however, it made no diflerence to his wife, who states that he was unwilling to supply her with the har peessities of life.
