THEY STILL FALL
FOR THE OLD ONE
Passenger on Interurban Frus-
trates Motorman With An
Gent Handkerchief Bluff.

Several Rock Island men, passen
ming between Moline and Campbell'S
Island yesterday afternoon, are telling
one on a 250-pound motorman, who
was frustrated in his alleged attempts
at battle, when a passenger pulled of
the ancient "swish-of-the-handk
bluff.
According to the story told by the
Rock Island man, this passenger had
desires to get off at Forty-second
street, and after Forty-first street had
been passed, rang the bell once, the
usual form of indicating to the motor
man and conductor in charge of the
car that one has Travelled just as far
as he wishes.
The passenger claims that the con-
ductor and motorman had been hold
ing deep conversation on the front
platform. but that eventually his at
tention was called to the ringing bell
and the car was stopped. He asserts
that it had proceeded two blocks
further than he wished to travel.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that
there were warm words exchanged be-
tween the conductor and the passen-
ger. The latter said that he rang the
bell but the former insisted that if
such was true he certainly would have
heard it.
Finally the passenger invited the
conductor to step down on the ground
and say it, and the interurban en-
ploye accepted the challenge. There
was no effort at Marquis of Queens
bury rules, but the two were evenly
and fought until they be-
zane winded. After a short rest they
again fought and finally the conductor
having tired of tn fistic argument and
-ealizing that the car was operating
IN a schedule, stepped back on the |
platform.
The motorman remained on the |
,round. He took up the wordy battle 4
where the conductor had broken off !
Tow this motorman was in the ''heav-
sinded from some 10 minutes of fuss
At a time in tie argument with the
notorman when he thought he was to
e attacked, he placed his hand in
is rear hip pocket as though he had
gun. The motorman stopped his ar
ument in the middle of a sentence,
lambered back onto the car, but turn
d in time to see the passenger draw
birth a white handkerchief and blow
is nose vociferously and almost de-
sively.
