CONDUCTOR FIGHTS
PASSENGER TRYING
ENTRANCE FOR EXIT

DR.. w. VanReidel, of the Dodson
Medicine Company, in police court to-
day, told Recorder Broyles that N. G.
Eason, conductor on a pay-as-you-
ter trolley car, assaulted him and bad
ly tore his clothing amply because he
made the mistake of starting from the
entrance instead of the exit of the car.
He said that previously the conductor
had some words with a negro on the
rear platform and that at the time he
was seated In the car doing some f1gur-
ing on slip of paper. The conductor,
he said evidently thought he was TAX
ing his number to report him and be-
came enraged. AS the doctor started
to leave the car, he said, Eason seized
him, showed him back, and was very
abusive in ordering him to go out the
other way.
Judge Broyles then ordered case
made against the conductor and fined
him 1915. He also fined DR.. VanRei-
del the same amount, the conductor
accusing him of using profanity.

IS, therefore, that plenty of other viola
