Tramps Raid Peacock Pen.

A feast fit for kings, perhaps, has been indulged by hoboes who raided the grounds of Millionaire Gardner Hammond of Montecito, Cal., and made off with the peacocks. The beautiful fowls have attracted no end of comment, being imported birds. The loss wgh discovered in the morning and all day Sheriff Nat Stewart searched the hobo camps, but in rain. Raids on Montecito hen coops* have been of nightly occurrence. “Big reward paid and no questions asked,” Is the way the Hammonds are advertising for the return of their peacocks. . -
