or masher such as often travel on railroads,
got his deserts while the train was lying
for lunch at the above named station.
Our masher's attention was attracted to
young lady who happily was not alone,

back, of the above road. Our masher ap.
preached the young lady who was standing
on the platform waiting to see her father,
and made some insulting remark 10 the
young lady which her father overheard,
and returned the compliments by direct
ing a sledge-hammer blow at the mashers
mouth which landed the would be masher
on his back on the platform where he
lay until the outraged father had
departed, when he scampered back into
the train and came on to Bridgeport to re-
cover, although his his stopping place was
