LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,
Only in SeIf-Defense.


The statement having been published
that tramp was badly beaten and mis-
used by the brakemen of the Marvsyille
train last Saturday, Conductor T. f.
Gather, who had charge of the train at the
time referred to, upon being questioned
yesterday, denied the statements made and
sad that the brakemen referred to acted in
seli-deiense. The conductor saws that the
persistence with which tramps now board
all trains, and when batfled in their at
temptS 70 steal rides. often act grossly in
suitlng, tres the patience of the train men
TO the very utmost. Not only this Int
tramps are often vicious and are ready tn
do harm to life or property if their de-
Inands are not complied with.
In the present case the tramp was dis
covered riding or the brake beam when the
tram arrived at Wheatland. He was made
to dislodge, but did not take it kindly and
swore he wouldgoto Marysville on the train
II the train went. He continued TO move
about IN menacing manner, enforcing
his actions with a strong mixture of nro7
family, until the train left, when he disap
peared. 1t was soon after discovered that
he had succeeded in boarding the MOVING
tram, and had regained his former re-
served seat the brakebeam. The train
was stopped, and one OF the brakemen was
compelled to crawl under the car and mil
the tramp from his hiding place. The
brakeman was a small man, and the tramp
large and vicious-looking individual. He
commented making direlul threats at the
brakeman, and was determined 10 oct ON
again. The brakeman kept preyentin-
TINS, when the tramp suddenly thrust his
hand behind him into his hip pocket.
The brakeman believing he was going to
pull a revolver upon him, struck him three
or four times with his fist, knocking him
to the ground. The train then started, and
the tramp when last seen was hurling
threats of vengeance at the train men. and
promising in the most impressive manner
that they would see him again. The con-
ductor says the tramp was not left insensi
bic, as has been Published, nor was he
lying there when the express came past
several hours later, for soon after the occur
gtlce ha went to Wheatland and eat a
hearty dinner. The statement of conductor
Gather IS fully corroborated be several

Fire Alarms Yesterday.

About l2l5 P. N. yesterday an alarm of
fire was sounded from box No. 80. in con-
sequence Of the discovery that in some
unknown manner the bedding of an I'M
occupied room at the Pacific Hotel had
caught fire. The trouble was ended before
the Fire Department arrived.
The alarm at las p. NJ, from box No. Is.
was occasioned by the burning of a small
double stable, belonging to the Captain
Brooks estate, and located in the alley be-
tween Fifth and Sixth, n and O streets.
1t was not much more than a shed, and
though pretty thoroughly DESTROYED. the
loss does not amount to much There
were two horses in it at the time of the
fire, but they were saved. A small GUAM
tity of hay was burned The origin of the
blaze was unknown.
While driving rapidly to the last fire,
Assistant Engineer O'Meara, turning from
Seventh street into l. too rapidly. was
thrown out in consequence of his buggy
almost upsetting. and, falling against the
sidewalk, was considerably bruised and
received a scalp wound. The horse was
stopped on l. street. near Sixth, and
O'Meara went to the fire Notwithstanding
his hurts
As the hook and ladder truck was flying
up X street, Ed. Cox, of Company No. /,
attempted to jump upon the vehicle, but
made characterization, fell and bounded
over the cobbles like a rubber ball. For
tunately he did not get hurt much
