As the Rock Island passenger train was
coming north last Tuesday night the city
marshal OF South Enid, accompanied by
ten deputies, boarded the train at Wako-
mis-, the first station south of that town.
When Conductor Dan Dacy, who had
charge of the train, came along to COL
lect the fares, the marshal and deputies
offered to pay rs far AS South Enid, but
were informed by the conductor that
he had no rates to that place and could
not collect fare short OF North End.
They then began to argue the case
with Dan, with the evident in enIion
OF holding him at hand till the train reach
ed the corporate limits of South Enid and
then arrest him for violating the ordinance
regulating the speed of traius through the
city. They were informed by Conductor
Daoy that they could not leg tlly arrest the
crew of {. mail train in their city limits or

officer and deputies attempted TO place
Conductor Ddcy under arrest but were
with Winchesters ia the hands
of the conductor, baggage man. express
messenger aud train guard. Seeing that
the attempt TO make the arrest would
doubtless end in boodshed, the officers
Gesisted aud the train sped northward
thirty minutes late.
