twenty-five years of age Eos aboard
an east bound Santa Fe train a. San
Francisco aud gave the conductor toe
return portion of q child's half fare
round trip ticket from Kansas City TO
San Francisco dated April II, 1859.
The conductor would mos accepE IL for
his fare and the young man told him
thai he did not see why, as his father
had paid nearly 500 for IL eleven years
before aud It was al unlimited ticket,
arr ming that the company had had the
yeas without rendering his father
any service and that he thought he
va at least entitled to the interest on
thrs amount for that time. The
con- usLor argued that the tic<=t he o.
fered was cbrd's ticket end As he was
Q man he would have to pay the other
kalf fare. The young man did SO bus
receipt, ssying that he would complain
80 the company and endeavor to be re-
i'm bursed. The chances are that the
young man can keep his receipt as a
souvenir IL he wishes to, rs IL IL evil |
dent the conductor has the law on his |
side. The ticket Is child's ticket |
and hence not good fer a man, and as
railroad companies do not .gree to pay
interest hen redeemtng unused tlcz- |
cts. the absurdity of tae young mans
claim IL readily seen.
