ment. On Tuesday, February 18th,
Mr.. Webb alleges that he purchased
a ticket of the @. & o. Agent at
this place, to Catlettsburg and return,
paying the usual price, sc. Webb
did not notice the wording on the
ticket, at the time, and labored under
the Impression that he had received
the ticket he requested, but upon
passing his ticket to the conductor
after entering the car, he found that
a mistake had been made-his ticket
calling for passage tc Huntington
and return. Webb failed TO Law
over the cash for his passage, and he
was put off the train. Now he asks
for $500 damages. The outcoming
tide will probably bring about much
legal talent before a settlement is
made.
