tramp was tried in Yuma and held to
the grand jury for assauting Ct. Bente
an 5. p. passenger brakeman. Accord
ing to the brakeman's story the fellow
was riding on the trucks of one of the
coaches Of the west bound train Sun
day night, and at Welton station the
brakeman discovered him and ordered
him to come out, which he did. The
train then pulled out and the bra Ike
man swung on to the rear end of the
last car. The man, as the train passed
threw rock which struck Bente on the
side of the head. knocking him from the
train. The rock must have been thrown
with terrific force as the brakeman's
head was badly bruised and cut: he was
also considerably hurt by his fall from
the train. The man arrested justified
his action by stating that the brake
man kicked him as he came out from
under the car.
