Some 24 "snowbirds" northern transients who follow the sun looking for the easy dollar, were lodged in Guadalupe County jail this week booked for vagrancy.
    Sheriff Phil Medlin reported a bigger-than-usual influx of "snowbirds" had apparently ear-marked Seguin for their visit.
    "Most of them will rob you of everything that isn't nailed down," he added, cautioning Seguin and Guadalupe County residents to be very careful in their welcome of strangers.
    "And age is no criteria or characteristic of a snowbird," Sheriff Medlin continued, saying "a lot of these vas this year are in their teens and early twenties.  They're not looking for a job either.  What they want is the easy dollar.  Most of them will burglarize and prowl cars, and there's no way to trail them after they've been through a town."  
    Sheriff Medlin said that apparently word had been sent down the hobo grapevine that Seguin was a prosperous little town for anyone on the take.
    Local burglaries continued to increase, meanwhile, as two persons suspected of car prowling were captured during a foot race with sheriff's deputies late Saturday, Jan. #.
    One of those captured was Raymond Galvan, who is currently awaiting trial under an indictment for burglary.  His brother Eusilio Galvan, was recently sentenced to ten years in the pen for burglary.
    Also burglarized Saturday was the Gregg Insurance Co. and the office of Dr. Jodie Goetz, as well as the Boyle Garage on Austin St.
    A very small person slipped through a broken window pane to make entry into Boyle's.  A late model 1956 4 door sedan, License number HR8783, was taken and is still missing.
