A MOOTED QUESTION.
The Trouble Car-Driver Had In ColIec
ing Eares

The Trouble Car-Driver Had In Collect
ing Fares.
Footpads, or men who are supposed to be
fOotpads, have not yet succeeded in getting
any money out of Driver Duoeck of the
North Side car line, but they brighten his
wits out of him very often. Last night be
saw two supposed footpads enter his car at
a late hour, and when he went back TO collect
the fares he armed himself with switch
iron, which they proceeded to take away
from him, when he fed, yelling like hos
two passengers half TO death. and they left
the car very indignant. Whether they
wanted to rob the driver or only objected to
having their fares collected at the point of a
deadly switch iron will probably never be
known.-San Jose Herald, Feb. 9th.
