For the past montb, numbers of tramp3 have made their headquarters in the vicinity of the city milis and M. C. R. R. depot. They have annoyed business men of that neighborhood, have endangered property by building Bres, have threntened personal injury to those who remonstrate against their lawlessness, and have so conducted themselves that law-abiding tax-payers demand proper proteetion of life and property, from the inroads of the tramp fraternity. Friday, twelve were counted eunning themselves on the bank oí the river, below the dam. A freight conductor stated that wben he came in from the west, Friday morning, there were 50 or 75 tramps between Fosters and Ann Arbor, a distance of about four miles. They beg for food. One was seen to throw away a lunch of ment and bread, given him by a lady in the Third ward, because it did not contain sotne pie and cake. As he explained it, " a fellow wants a change once in awhile." Sheriff Walsh and Ohief Sipley Saturday night, arrested four toiigh custotners at the depot.
