BEATING A RAILROAD.
How Dishonest Travelling Man Tried to
Swell His Pockrtbook.

A drummer for St. Louis clothing
house tried to play a low-down trick on
the Alton Road at Dwight one day last
week. and but for the chance observa-
ton of Il female passenger who was
awaiting her train his scheme would
undoubtedly have succeeded.
The fellow held checks for two pieces
of baggage IL trunk and a sachel. OBJ
tanning permission from the baggage
man, who was at work on the plat
form, to 90 inside and place an extra
sample in his trunk the travelling man
shortly emerged from the baggage
room prot sting that he was unable to
fluid his sachel. Search was ut once
instituted. but TO no effect; the missing
grip for which he held 4 check was
nowhere to be found. As it was not
forthcoming when the train arrived the
drummer made formal complaint to
the station agent and put in claim of
800 against the road to reimburse him
for his loss.
After the man had left q lady who
sat in the waiting-room. and who had
been Il quiet but interested observer of
the proceedings. walked toward the
ticket window and inquired of the
agent if the drummer had actually
claimed that his valisc had been stolen.
She was told that such was the case.
w ell, said the woman. Il am con-
WINGED that the fellow is fraud for
from where | sat | had clear view of
the Daggagc-rOOm, aud | distinctly saw
that man 90 in there, unlock his trunk
and place his sachel inside. Then after
pretending TO hunt around the room he
rushed out and began abusing the
baggagcnIan.
The agent whstlcd thoughtiully. 1t
was new dodge on him. Then he
sent a dispatch to the operator at the
F., p. and n. june ton, to which place
the drummer had checked his trunk, in
which he outlined the circumstances
and urged that the agent call two or
three reputable citizens and in their
presence open the trunk.
The st. Louis man was uptown when
the telegram arrived, but his baggage
was at the station. Hastily calling in
the city marshal and the nearest black
smith, the lock of the trunk was Sail
fully picked, and there, Just beneath
the tray, lay the missing sachel.
The entire particulars have just been
sent in TO the general office of the
Alton, together with the very saucy
letter demanding 500. In reply an
answer was sent the St. Louis drum
mer to the effect that if he ever dared
press his claim any further he would
be vigorously prosecuted and published
to the full extent of the law. Since the
exposure of this wcll-laid scheme to
raise the wind it transpires that the
artful dodger has been working the
plan on other roads, but rs the mans
claims had not been paid. owing to the
usual red tape that obtains in such
cases. the chances are that he will
never press any of them for final settle
mcut.

Uncle Ras's Perpetual Pass.

ErastuS Baldwin of CamDyiile, Conn,
now in the ninctics is known rs the
aged Nimrod is undoubtedly the oldest
commuter on the Nauratuc!I Railroad.
He has enjoyed the privilege of free
pass since the road WAS built, aud he
takes lots of solid enjoyment out of his
occasional fishing trips to Bridgeport.
When the Naugaluck Railroad in 1889.
desired to extend is tracks from
Waterbury, to Wiustcd Mr.. Baldwin
owned three aud ouc-half miles on the
Litchicid side. He WAS pleased when
he learned from the companv's agents
that railroad through his land was
contemplated. He said TO them:
Great God! If YOU can build Il rail-
road through these rocks and hills
here, YOU can build her Ras Balwin
will be the last man in the world to in
terfere, and all | want is the right of
way for myself and wife us long as we
live"
From that time until the early part
OF October 1873. Uncle Ras, rs he is
called, enjoyed his privilege undis-
turbed. Then he was elected from a
train by Il new conductor because he
refused to pay fare. The conductor
explained that he WAS acting under in
structions from L. Ferris Bishop, u
newly elected President, but that only
angercd Mr.. Baldwin more, and he
never rested until he had walked all
the way 10 Litchiield to consult Henry
b. Graves, an attorney for the COM
pany- lie sWore vengeance on the
company, but finally consented to give
the company a chance to explain.
Within Il week Mr.. Baldwin received a
very satisfactory letter of explanation
and a perpetual pass for himself and
his wife. Mrs. Baldwin used the pass
until She died.

One of Guthrie's Early Vicissitudes.

There were couple of Westerners.
pioneer railroad men, entertaining
themselves and an appreciative audi
ence by telling stories of the wild and
woolly West.
One of the funniest things | ever
heard was the story a Swedc told OF
his experience down in Oklahoma. "
said one of the pioneers. He had
saved about $3.50, and went down into
the land of promise expecting to make
his fortune. He hadn't been there
many hours. however, before some
smooth fellow secured his cash. and
the poor Swede had to beat his way
home. Some one asked him how he
liked Guthrie. No good ut all, he
said. Whole town tents. Stores all
tents, hotel tent. Post Office tent. Goat
