Show TRAMPS ARE RAIDED BY OFFICERS Eleven tramps were gathered in toy the sheriff and deputies south of the city this morning when a raid was made on the Conroy barn, which for sometime has been used as a rendezvous rend-ezvous ofvagra nts. Complaints from women In tho southern part of the city, who have been annoyed by men begging at their doors and who have become fearful because of the large number of tramps sleeping in the Conroy barn, prompted the raid. When the patrol wagon drove up to the barn at about 7 o'clock there wras a general scatter-ment scatter-ment of illy clothed men and eleven of them were captured. It is thought that about thirty tramps were in tho barn when tne rafd was made. Tho men arrested will doubtless bo charged with vagrancy and committed to the rock pile for the regulation ton days time. |
