spotter Gets Duckinu.

E#AE e#& $780,
According to the Horton papers, the
Rock Island shopmen there made life
a burden for an alleged "spotter" who
blew into town, supposedly for the
purpose of getting evidence to prove
that railroad employees had been
drinking. The spotter worked In the
guise Of a peddler.
According to trainmen the spotter
went to Horton some time ago from
Trenton, Mo-, where he was employed
as a brakeman. He stayed around
Horton for some time and mingled
with the railroad men. One day he
left and a few days later nineteen
men employed by the Rock Island
were given their discharges with the
stated reason that they had been
seen drinking liquor.
The peddler was suspected at once
and when he returned to Horton yes
terday the enraged railroaders gave
him a reception. He started to leave
town on the front end Of a train and
fifteen railroad men boarded the same
train. When he recognized some OF
the men who had been discharged he
made an attempt to get away but was
caught. All Of the men took a hand
and when the spotter finally regained
consciousness he found himself in .
creek south Of Horton with .just 4
few" clothes on.
