STOPS AND ALLOWS RIVAL
LOVERS TO FIGHT.
A EeW stsry On Conductor Reyes o.
the South Branch Stops Train
and Lets Young Men Settle
Dispute.

The South Branch, Of the Alton,
has many stories woven into It's his
tory and INST Of them concern tie
popular ami efficient conductor who
has been running the passenger train
On this line for over q decade Mr..

The latest addition 70 the .Socth
Branch Tales" d an occurrence That
is said 70 have happened last week
and though several are sceptieal as
&c It's truth a well known citizen Of
Fulton youehes for IL.
Two yonng men, one from Fulton
and the other = resident OF jefferson
City, we're on his train and evidently
bad feeling existed between the two,
for they were quaTrelling all the time
they we're 10 the passenger coach and
from stray bits Of the conversation,
that floated through the a and
those nearby caught the cause Of the
row was q popular Fulton girl the
center Of each fellows ANONYMOUS at
tentions.
Upon the trains arrival at Caring
ton, = small station on the line. the
Fulton lover started down the aisle
Of the car 10 alight His riyal follow
ed him and as he stepped of gave
such a hard push that be almost fell
pom the platform. The attacked
party was OF course furious and bubb-
ling we with the desire 10 vent his
anger in an immediate mill, on the
adjacent green. His friend, on sthe
train, replied to the challenge to
alight and mix it" that II it was not
going to depart just at that minute
be would be glad 10 accumulate him
with a sound drubbing." Conductor
KeYes, arrived at this point and be-
ing well acquainted with the circum-
stances, took most OF the bravado out
Of the courageous party on the car by
stating to not let that interfere with
bis desire TO fight for be would hold
the train.
There was nothing else to do but
remove bis coat and step down TO
meet his waiting foe. Six minutes
after when a soft hearted bystander
field the aggrieyed and much mis-
treated Fulton lover of OF the under
man whose face resembled a raw ham
burgher and told him 10 let the party
from the Capitol get on the train as
thought be wouldn't want 10 be any
later than was necessary on reaching
home, all OF the latent desire, the man
who had TO be helped aboard the
train, ever possessed 10 play at fsti-
cuffs was for once and all times com
pletely soft-peddled. Whether the
girl has heard otthe battle and who
was victor is not known and as re-
CARDS her choice we believe, that
though women are as uncertain as
ADril weather, yet, there is still enough
Of that spirit Of "ye oldyn tymes1 in
their nature TO let the winner OF the
