Thursday, May 10, 1017 ASHLAND TTDIXGS PAGE BEVKJf War Measures Hard on Hobos Lay of the Hobo Under the bridge where I used to ll'e, There's a sentry stationed with an eagle eyar There's another standing with loaded gun Where In the tunnel I used to run E'en In the car where I slept at night They are carrying powder and dy namite. With every soldier seeking a spy, The railroad's no place for a tat tered guy. Gone Into the war refuse Is an other American Institution the rail road hobo. 'Weary Willie" has for saken the "side-door Pullman" as a means of transportation. Ills camp fire no longer burns by the creekb?d under the ra'lroad bridge, nor does the tunnel entrance any longer con stitute his rendezvous. The fact that all approaches to railroad bridges', tunnels and termin als are now guarded by sold'ers with Instructions to challenge suspicious characters, has made the hobo's pro fession an unhealthy occupation. He faces the possibility of being shot, jailed, put to work or made to en list, and none of these alternat'ves appeals to his fancy. In this connection, P. J. Pinker ton, chief special agent of tha South ern Pacific company, Is seeking to safeguard thoughtless pedestrians, who carelessly trespass upon railroad property. Southern Pacific agents are being urged to call to everyone's at tention the fact that it is now more dangerous than ever to igf.cre warn ing signs. As the movement of troop and am mun'tlon Increases, greater vigilance will be everclsed by military authori ties, and It will be dangerous for un authorized persons to vor.t.ure within the boundary lines. Man Murdered Near Montague Montague Messenger Jerry Shoe han. an employee of the California Oregon Power company, at Oopeo was found dead alongs'de the S. P. track just south of town Friday, the sub sequent Investigations by a coroner's jury prove conclusively that the man had been murdered. In his pocket was a telegram from Sonora, Cal., informing him of the death of b!s brother, and a copy of reply sent by the dead man In wh'ch he Instructed those In charge of the body at Sonora to hold the same urv tll his arrival there on Saturday. Letters, checks and other papers serv ed to complete the Identif'cation but furnish no clue as to his murderers or assign any reason for the same. Sheehan has evidently been work ing at Copco for tome time and bad over $60 In his pockets. His body was found by Tony Lawtls, a work man who was walking north, iawtls reported the discovery to N. W. Brlggs, a S. P. track walker, who came to town and notified the author ities. Sheehan had been killed by a blow from a sharp instrument on the back of the head, and his body carried from some unknown place and placed alongside the track the murderers hoping to make It seem that he had been killed by the train. The ab sence of any blood and the fact that the ground about where he laid was entirely und'sturbed, gave the Inves tigators the first Impression that the man had not been killed by the tra'n. Sheehan was probably about forty years of age, sandy complexion, and was fairly well dressed. His body will be held by Coroner Turner until a sister In Chicago can be communi cated with. Remember to get a license for your dog before May 15. On that date the city authorities will organize a sub marine campaign and will torpedo all dogs caught wandering around without a l'cense.

You put 2 or 8 drops on, and it dries at once. There's noth lug to stick. You can put yourBhoe and stocking right on again. The pain is all (tone. Then the corn dies a painless, shriveling death, it loosens from your toe, and off it comes. "Gets-It" is the bluest sell ing corn remedy In the world today. There's none other as good.

When noon came the secretaries would get out and prepare a lunch under a sun that seemed nlnioBt as hot as the fire used in cooking their food. Some times a drive of AO to 70 miles wan necessary to reach one outpost. Soldr lers on patrol along the 140-mlloi front were provided with postcards, stamps, money orders and stationery:! and messages and money went to homes that might otherwise have waited va'nly for word. One secre tary at t'reblna sat for an hour writ ing one money order after another on the wind shield of the truck. The variety of services rendered by the M. C. A. was related by Father Harvey, officer of the Holy Cross of the Episcopal church, who said: "The Y. M. C. A. work la largely directed toward holding the Interest and attention of the men and keeping them from evil Influences of border towns. No srhemo to th's end Is left untried. Religious meeting, talks of all sorts, moving pictures, box'ng contests, stunt nights, popular band concerts and Indoor baseball are somo of thp methods which ara being used. The'soldiers spend low; days on these hot Tens plains, nnd often work very hard, but the sec retaries of the Christian Association bu'lding have dono the most exact ing work In all the ennips." So extensive did the association's work become and so rapidly d'd tho soldiers' domands for thn apprecia tion of the service grow that "folks back homo" wore called upon to raise an aggregate of $ 1 000 a day to keep the work going and It was done gladly with the fooling that money could not be better Invested.
