YANYEE RAIL ROAD MAN PLAYING
- TRICKS ON CONDUCTOR.

A few nights since Imaginable affair oc
Cured on the Niagra Falls Railroad, be-
tween here and Tonawanda. TWAS late in tn,
evening, and the cars stopped at Tonawands
for wood and water. Some passengers 90
on there and after the train started, Winn
the conductor, started around to collec
fairs, and take up the tickets. About tn,
middle of the rear car, he came across 1
heavy looking parsonage in wool hat, who
was apparently asleep. Winn put his hand
on the sleeper's shoulder, and said, sticket.
The sleeper stirred not, nor intermitted hi.
regular snore, which was very much like the
bark of an asthmatic dog, mingled with q
clam -peddler's peculiar cry. Winn gave
the sleeper heavy punch in the side, but
the sleeper awoke not, and his snoring be.
came positively terrific. As a Inst resort
Winn pulled him back and forth until he
fell between the seats, when he awoke,
and looking up with grin, asked what wa,
wanted. Winn said, sticket,' as irascibly
as he could. The stranger got up without
saying word, re-seated himself, and com.
menced general search Of his person while
Winn passed on to collect tickets from the
seat beyond. t atz @1a<
When he returned, 10! the sleeper VA,
asleep again. Winn went at it again like a
trooper, and after going through the same
operation, he finally awakened him ngain.--
The same conversation occurred, and the
same search followed, Winn all the while
standing BY in frame Of mind, which nigh,
be likened to 4 cat dealing with dog
back up and claws expanded. The stranger
finally told Winn he had no ticket, and drop.
ped right back into heavy sleep again.
Winn was now fairly enraged, and Jerking
the stranger about awoke him again, and
demanded t-h.i-r-t-y c-e-n.t-s, ,quick. Stran-
ger yawned frightfully, and said he guessed
not, and went to searching for his ticket
again. Winn gave the bell rope savage
pull, and went to the door and called the
brakeman in. The cars stopped-the two
approached the stranger, when he rose up
six feet and half in his boots, and broad
in proportion, and asked Winn what he was
going to do. z
"Put you out, you villain p Missed winn,

nothing on Railroads, especially such sleepy
rascals as you."
