Tramps Infest ^ Nebraska Towns New Style Travel in Automo biles—Old Ones Hide in Box Cars on Trips. Columbus, Neb., Feb. 26.—With the cold weather tramp activity troubles railroad special agents. The oldtime hobo, when the chill winds of the north are driven across the snow swept plains, doesn't rare to make an outdoor camp along the willows of a stream or some sheltered nook along the railroad's right-of-way. “The "oldtimer," railroad detectives say. hates the thought of seeking shelter at a police station. Too many times the “oldtimer" is one of the men who has been "mugged." That is, some time or other in his history he has committed some crime. It may be only a petty one, but it makes him a hunted man. He does not want to seek refuge at the common retreat of the world's wanderers— the police station. The empty box car appeals to him. When night falls he drops off at a way station. Finally he finds an empty boat car. When he thinks all Is safe he will make a fire on the box car floor—the hard wood does not BURBQK&Ca Every girl should own a “Bobbie” Suit.

Hut railroad agents say the fire risk is great. Besides “camping" In a car over night gives the hobo a rendezvous to which he may carry trifline articles stolen from freight and express ship ments. Before morning comes the tramp Is gone, and with him, perhaps, a amall amount of loot. Railroad agents say the oldtimers are getting scarcer every year. But the cold nights are driving them to seek their oldtime shelters. The newer tramps travel in motor cars. When they run short of gaso line, nn experience they avoid in the cities, they are given gas to get them to the next town, money and food and they live sumptuously compared to the oldtimers. They are the ones that give tlie police of the smaller towns the most trouble. Court Upholds Law on “Ambulance Chasing” Lincoln.
