RIDES ON OLD TICKET.

Conductor On Burlington Road Puzzled
BY Twenty five Year Old Fare.
Special to Times Republican.
Essex, April 22.-Conductor w. l.
Smith, of the Burlington railroad, add
ed to his fund of experiences In a run
from Red Oak to Hamburg yesterday,
which still has an air of mystery which
he has a longing to clear up. The
main points are clear but Conductor
Smith is puzzled and anxious to learn
how one of his passengers on yester-
days run managed to, keep ticket
twenty five years.
On this run a passenger presented a
ticket bought, or at least dated. Oct. IA,
1890, at Lynn, ILL.,, and good for trip
from Lynn to Essex Iowa. The
terms of the ticket were such that it's
apparent value for travelling at this late
day were just as good as the day of
issue. Conductor Smith demurred at
accepting the ticket, but when the pas
senger declared the conductor could
put him off the train If he desired, add
ing that it would be at the conductors
risk, Conductor Smith decided not to
take the risk and the passenger COM
pleted his long deferred journey. There
was no layover clause on the ticket,
neither did 1t call for one continuous
trip. 1t is the belief that the ticket
was used as far as Red Oak over the
main lines of the railroad and that the
balance of the journey twenty-five
years and six months ago was COM
pleted by wagon or stage.
