Large Number of Hoboes.
Night Officer, Henry Trout, states
that the approach of cold weather
has resulted In Increasing largely
the number of applications to the
police for shelter at nights. They
have had quite a number of hoboes
and bums to shelter at the city Jail
every night since the recent cold
snap set In and none have been
turned away as there Is too much
danger from freezing to take chances
on them. The bum shanty down on
the river bottom has not been fixed
up this winter and It Is the opinion
of Officer Trout that this should be
done Immediately as It Is badly need
ed, especially this cold weather and
would result in quite a saving to the
city In lodging charges payable to
the county. He hopes to have the
council at its session next Monday
evening take the necessary steps to
have the shanty put in shape and
guarantees that he will see the bums
use It and do not get lodging at the
all.
