Albany Ne,os and Advertiser: Con-
ductor Hamilton of the Central, who
punches the tickets on one of the cannon
ball trains between this city and Mont
gomery, had a rather interesting expert
enoe with three toughs ON Saturday night.
At Dawson his train was boarded by three
men, who refused to pay their fare, but as
his train was running behind time, he did
not put them OFF until he reached Smith
vile. Here the men were made to get off.
but when the train started for Albany,
Conductor Hamilton who was on the look
out for them found them on the rear plat
form of the sleeper. he again ordered
them off the train, which order they fatty
refused to obey. He then took hold
of one of the men and forced him
of. AS the fellow struck the ground he
yelled to his companions that he had
dropped his pistol and they, too, leaped off,
and almost simultaneously three pistol shots
were sent whizzing after Conductor Hamil-
ton, who stood on the platform. When the
Montgomery bound cannon ball reached
Smithville the same men boa ded it, but
Conductor Dewberry put them OFF at the
pistol point two miles from Smithville. In-
formation received in this city Monday was
to the effect that the thTee toughs, one of
whom is supposed TO be n former emploYe Of
the Central, were arrested at Dawson Mon
day morning.
