In view of the largely increas
ing number of tramps and the in
solence they display when begging
from house to house, it has been
suggested that the worst looking
hoboes be corralled by the police
and put to work on the streets.
This plan was attempted several
years ago, but so far as getting
work out of the fellows, it was not
a great success. However, if it was
known along the line ot the U. P.
that North Platte had a "chain
gang" it would have a tendency to
keep the travelers from loafing with
in the city limits.
