 Giving Back Talk. Al
ARGUMENT OVER A FARE.

Was the Cause of the Rumpus, Which
 Ended by the Conductor Putting the
 Man Off the Car--Some of the By-
 islanders Wanted to Infiict Punish-
 ment on the Conductor.
 A conductor on the East Main street trolley line had narrow escape from being roughly handled last night about S:l5 at the switch near the Sacred Heart church. An old veteran of the civil war boarded the car on Hast Main street at point near John D.'s pond. He was in a happy mood and when the conductor came along he In spirit of fun refused to pay his fare. Some words passed between them but when the conductor came around the second time the man paid his fare. Angry words continued to pass between them and when the car reached the Sacred Heart church the conductor stopped it, gave the man his fare back and put him off the car. The car proceed ed to the switch where 1t stopped for few minutes. The veteran of the civil war walked down to the conduc- tor and asked him for his number, saying that he wished to report him at the office of the trolley company. The conductor ordered the man away, but he again came back and again de- manded the conductors number. The conductor told him to get away and the veteran answering him back he jumped off the car and struck him in the face. The man fell in heap to the ground and was insensible for several min- utes. Several bystanders witnessed the cowardly assault. rushed ait the conductor and only for the interven- ton of cooler minds the probability Is that the conductor would have re. ceived rough treatment One of the bystanders said that if nobody else re- ported the conductor, he would.
