ed rule, which went into effect on the lst

tickets before getting on the train. This
regulation was adopted in order to head
off Changers, who are in the habit of tend
ering money, and thus testing the right of
the company to charge more than the legal
tariff. As practical test of this new rule,
George Nj. Baker, of this city, was pre-
vented from entering train at Elmwood
last night, because he would not show his
ticket, although he had it in his pocket,
and, on his insisting on his right to enter,
he was seized by some employees on the
train, rudely assaulted, and finally pitched
on to the platform and left, the train com
ing on to Peoria without him. Baker is of
course highly indignant at this treatment,
and proposes to make the company
pay for it, and will commence suits for
both ciyil and criminal damages at once.
