CAME BACK ARMED WITH DORNICKS
NERVY TRAMPS FIRED OUT OF THE M. C. R. R. DEPOT
Then They Played Hide and Seek With the Officers for About an Hour
Three nervy tramps went into the M. C. Depot Thursday night and insisted upon sleeping under the seats in the waiting room.
Baggageman Wheeler drove them out but they soon returned armed with dornicks and threatened to do the night operator and ticket seller.
The officers were sent for. Deputy Sheriff Kelsey, Patrolman Isbell and Detective Phil Schumacher responded.
The tramps played hide-and-seek with the officers in and around all that section of Ann Arbor. Finally, the officers caught sight of the trio. Two of the hoboes ran up Beakes street and the other hastened to the Northside. Patrolman Isbell ordered them to stop but her was talking to the wind. Then the officer pulled out his gun and shot in the air hoping to frighten them.
It did.
It was like tying a tin can to a lively cur. The tramps flew all the faster and vanished in the darkness.
