on board TaylOr-Throop car
last night that leaves the CEN
trail city about o'clock, bound
for TAYLOR. were three men who
had been imbibug of fircwater during
the day to n considerable extent. From
the time the car left the central city
until it reached the switch. near Feltz
patch. these men had been the cause
OF much disturbance to the conductor
and of considerable annoyance to all
the passengers.
Tho affair, however, reached a climax
at the above-mentioned place. much TO
the JOY of all ON board and to the sor-
row OF the disturbers. After the car
had left the city line the conductor de-
manded another fare of them. After
much trouble he succeeded in collect
: ing the fare and went on about his
duties, collecting the rest of the fares.
When he returned to the rear of the
car where these men were seated. they
claimed they had each given him a
dime.
Conductor Capwell explained to them
that they had only given him a nickel.
When Feltz patch was reached, Con-
ductor Capwell jumped off the car at
the switch to throw on the signal light
for the inbound car. At the same time
these men alighted and. before any one
was aware, pounced upon the c0nduc-
tor. but he was able TO care for him
self in a manner that caused surprise
to his assalants.
The conductor dealt each a solar
pIeXus blow, and when the car pulled
out of the switch the unconscious
drunks lay by the wayside. The con-
ductor was unharmed.
Conductor Capwell is Of short stat
ure, but is possessed of proper grit.
