bany and took possession Of the rear por-
ton of a combination car, which was being
used for cab. His presence on the train
was not discovered until after the train
had gone several miles, when Condy Brown,
having occasion to go into the portion of the
car occupied by Williams, was met with
pistol thrust into his face by Williams, who
threatened to shoot Browns head off if he
entered the car. Brown did not finch. not
outstanding the unexpectedness Of the
meeting, but entered the car, and, taking
hold of Williams. threw him down and took
the "weepin' away from him, and Con-
ductor Forbes placed him under arrest aud
carried him on to Sumner, where he was
turned over to the town marshal.
