Putting off a Passenger.

4 gentleman named lie Fevre, resid-
ing at Minneapolis, took passage for St.
Paul on the accommodation train of the
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad which
lett this city on Tuesday evening. It
appears that he had purchased ticket
at Minneapolis for this city and return,
but is a proviso on that class Of tickets,
pronouncing them good only for one
day. Mr.. lie Fevre had been detained
here longer than he had expected to be
when he left home, and upon his return,
when near Mendoza, he presented his
ticket to the conductor, when that ofio-
ial came to collect the fare. After
some discussion in regard to the ticket,
the conductor. stopped the train for tho
purpose of ejecting his passenger. Be-
fore doing so, however, it is stated that
Mr.. lie Fevre rendered him the amount
of the fare, but this was Indignantly
refused by the conductor for reasons un-
known, an the pa scnger was ordered
toff H deuppcd, or was showed of, but
aft.cerchi tong the ground was advised
by other passengers to jump on ngain,
which he cndeavored to do, but was
resisted by the conductor, and in the
struggle Mr.. LIE Fevre claimed that he
was Kicked and struck either by the
conductor or some other person acting
under his instruction and authority
The transaction elected many uncompli
mentary remarkos from passengers or
the train, who characterized it as one o
the most unnecessary and brutal affairs
which had ever come under thei, obser
vation while travelling. A lame maj
gave the conductor his impressions up
on arriving at Mendoza, and receiving
an insulting answer, event in on hi
nerve" and the man in authority and
passion, was forced to retire. Eye wit
nesscs to the scene are severe in thei
comments upon the part taken by tn
conductor, and the greatest surprise
expressed by those who arc PERSONAL
acquainted with him.
Upon his arrival at home Mr.. L
Fevre commenced proceedings again:
