 Put Of Train
 The depot was the scene of a wordy argument last evening about six o'clock when the conductor of the train which leaves Hartford at 5;O4 o'clock put one of his passengers off. The reason given was that the man had no ticket The passenger claimed he bought a ticket at New ington for New Haven and placed it in the back of the seat when he board ed the train.

The latter took the matter calmly and left the train and started for the trolley car. When he reached tarrlincton Road, brakeman accosted him and demanded that he return to .he sta tion, charging the man had evaded his fare. The victim of the train mans wrath put up no argument and accompanied the brakeman back to the station.
