journey for half an bo1r, when loud talk.
ing and profanity excited the attention Of
the passengers to part Of the car Where
sat omposedly an elderly man wrapped
in n liberal overcoat. "
A large sized, red faced and verp volas
bic person Of less years was standing II
the aisle near him, using violent language
and gesticula,ions, attended with the
charge Oft repeated ,hs: the old gen,ley
man had taken his sea, during bis TEN.
porary absence therefrom and demandna
with language more pusnaut than polite,
that it should be rainquished to him.
