out tickets at Albion, to come to this
city. Conductor VOORHEES, demanded the
regular train fare, 80 cents each, 10
cents in excess of ticket fare. One of
the men handed the conductor 90 cents
for both fares and refused to pay more.
The conductor told the men that he

the other man would have TO get off.

conductor was not to be bluffed by any
reference to the Lone Star state, and
| many of the passengers in the smoking
car, observing the mans inclination to
start trouble, volunteered assistance.
| Baggageman Todd, who is the John l..
Sullivan of the Central, was cailed to
act as bouncer, and the train was stop
ped at Minerva Junction. The gentle
| man from Texas decided that he would
rather pay the extra 10 cents than walk
to the city, and did so without blood
shed,
