The incident occurred in the early
part of September. The declaration

under the November ruls Of the cir
cult court.
Ridenour's story is most unusual
one. FIe was riding on the B. & o.

train check. which he placed in his
hat band. Later, when lying in his
seat, his hat blew out of the window.
When the conductor came through
the train again, he asked Ridenour
for his ticket. The latter explained
the situation. but according to the
plaintiff, the conductor refused to
listen to his argument and demanded
ticket or cash fare. When the same
was refused. the conductor jerked
the bell cord and before the train
had been brought to complete
standstill. showed him from the steps
In his fall, Ridenour says he sus-
tanned bad bruises on his hands and
legs, claiming that the fact that he
fell in cinder pile was the only
thing that saved him from further
injury.

from the point where he was put off
the train to Uniontown. distance of
about 60 miles. Here he secured
enough coin to purchase ticket to-
PIT Marion. From this point he
walked to Morgantown.
The case has attracted some atten-
ton. and will be watched with much
interest.

has a boat leaving every ninety min
