r. R.
It is a rule of the cOmpany's when
a new crew comes on a train for the
conductor to pass through to see all
tickets. One Of my fellow passengers,
a mere boy, was on his way to his
home in LewisviIle, Ark, to spend
the holidays, and, as is generally the
case with young people, slept sound
ly. When the conductor came
through to see our tickets about 1850
a. m, he was unable to awaken him,
so called a detective, whom it seems
is employed by the company to assist
the conductor when force is required.
Without a word the detective
bounced upon the all unconscious
fellow, shaking him as no other hui
man person could, and the fellow,

him away. Then the detective pro-
duced a pair of handouts and snap
ped them onto the fellow and, taking
a blackjack" from his pocket,
struck him over the right eye, cutting
a terrible cash in his head. He then
dragged the fellow, bleeding and I'M
conscious, from the car, and, as I
learned from the fellow later, the
fresh air brought him to enough so
that he heard someone asking to
see his ticket, which he produced
and they put him back into the car,
leaving him without any care.
Feeling very sorry for the fellow,
I went to him and did what 1 could
to help him. He showed me his
ticket mo. A5O35) and a purse of
money, so you. can see he did not de-

The firm of Bauer & Black, 25th

a Merry Christmas by distributing
gifts among it's employees, ranging
from 81 to $40 to each, according to
the time of service with the firm.
1 wish also to state that the firm
has always been good to it's en-
