Conductor Left Behind

The Lewiston cars We're late on
Wednesday evening, at least one car
was. and thereby hangs a tale. The
conductor, one Of the oldest in point
of service on the Lewiston line, left
the gar without the knowledge of the
motorman. who proceeded on his way
until one of the passengers missed the
c"nducto", about four miles beyond
where he alghted, and the car was
run back to pick up the strayling.
When the conductor in question left
the car it was entirely involuntary on
his part and he was probably the
most surprised man this side of No
Mans Land, for he was leaning against
the gate, which came unfastened, and
he was thrown to the ground AL
though the car was going at fair
rate Of speed no injuries We're received
except a sprained shoulder.
