MUST NOT BOARD TRAINS IN Mo
TION.-Judge Cullen in case in Will
mingtOn last week, laid down the law
so plain in regard to tresspassing on
railroad cars that nobody need here
after be deceived when he attempts to
get on train of cars. He says that if
man gets on a train of cars while
moving, he is a tresspasser, and that
the employees have a perfect right to
remove him by violence or any other
means but not using more violence
than is necessary to accomplish the
object.
The decision has the smack of sound
judgement and is safe from being
cOntrOverted. Trains stop at stations
to take on and leave off passengers.
Those getting on give way to those
getting on, and when there are no
more TO get off, the signal is given, and
the man who attempts to board the
train after that becomes tresspasser.
In the case decided, the plaintiff,
Adams at Harrington, not only ran for
the train after it had started, but
caught hold of the railing, apparently
not realizing the danger he was in.

The TRAMP BILL.-A writer to the

will do with the annual tramp bills"
to be presented by the Justices Of the

tramp business cost the county thous-
ands of dollars. Take the bill OF Jus
tice Book at the little town Of Clayton:
LegitimateIy this officers bill would
be about $35 or $4O-but the tramp
business brings it up to nearly $500.
Then the two Dover judges came up
with similar bills, and the tramp catch

donation also. It's about time that
this business is set down on 80 hard
