How a Sergeant Adds to His In

The Texas Pacific and Atlantic and Pacific at
War Over the Transportation
of Two Marines.

Local agents are again indulging in ra te-
cutting, and stories of their infractiOns of
the latest passenger agreement are flying
thick and fast Tue very latest comes from
the Atlantic and Pacific and Texas Pa
cifc. which lines are indulging in a squab-
BILE over a party of discharged marines.
They are not dead marines, but real live ex-
soldiers with gold and inclination to 90 East
by rail-
A sergeant on duty in this city as
Recruiting Sergeant has been in the habit
it is said, of taking the marines under his
protecting wing Immediately upon their ar
rival in this city from Mare Island, where
quite a number guard Uncle Sans posses
sions during the course Of year. The fact
that regulations prohibit one on recruiting
service from engaging in any outside busl-
ness cuts no figure with the sergeant,
and he persists in pl ying game in which
Uncle Sam furnishes the chips and the rail-
road agents capture the pot.
TWO MARINES II TOW.
On Friday two marines were discharged
from the navy-yard a Mare Island, and the
next day made arrangements with Agent
Kelly of the A. and p, at Vallejo, for trans
portatlOn to New York. They were accom-
panied to the city by the festive railroadeT
who left them at the ferry and promised 10
meet them at l o'clock in the afternoon for
the purpose of securing the necessary tickets.
Upon arrival the marines proceeded to
take in the sights on the water front. and 10
the course Uf their rambles fell In with the
Recruiting Sergeant.
In moment of cOilOQuial confidence they
impaired to him the fact that they carried
coarse gold and had a desire to proceed
East at once The sergeant conceived the
brilliant idea of taking them to his fayorite
rendezvous the Texas Pacific. On the way
to the Office both became intoxicated and
separated. One purchased "a ticket as per
contract of the Atlantic and Pacific agent,
and the other was taken by the sergeant to
the Texas Pacific.
A TRICK HAD BEEN PLAYED.
When they were sober they discovered
that they held tickets over different routes,
although they desired to travel together.
They saw that trick had been done them
and charged it to the sergeant. In front of the
Atlantic and Pacifi Office on Market street.
a meeting was held, which resulted in hot
words between McGilliSan of the Atlantic
and Pacific and the Recruiting Sergeant.
The agent charged the Marine Sergeant with
making one of the men drunk and taking
him TO the Texas Pacific.
The marine denied 1t, and the conference
broke up ia a row III which the soldier re-
ceived bad eye and a sore head. The Texas
Pacific has been charged with paying Cos
grove a commission on discharged marines,
and the matter IS being investigated at
Fourth and Townsend streets. The Colonel
in command of the Marine Corps Battalion
at Mare Island has also been notified of the
conduct OF the sergeant in soliciting travel
for the Texas Pacific.
