said ''You don't want any fare from
me, do you:'' He then drew a knife

neck. Conductor Nelson was terribly
wounded, but had the strength and
courage to draw his pistol. Lawrence
withdrew along the aisle and did the
same thing. Both began firing at each
ether, aud kept it up until their
weapons were emItied. Ten shots
were fred. The train was running
rapidly, and the jolsing was such that
neither availed anything. Not one OF
the passengers was hit by anv one Of
the many random balls. Eogineer
Sutton was apprjsed by the ringing d
his bell that something was wrong, and
stopping the train he came back to the
passenger car. Conductor Nelson was
reeking with his own blood, and Sutton
tainted at the sight. Fortunately fol

brought back. DR.. Clark did all in his
