A Puli man conductor on the Delaware, L ackawanns and Western had an experience some time ago that he will not soon forget.— Coming out f the depot at Elmira he was confronted by a dude with an eyeglass and a big eane, who said, “Aw, going to Buffalo tonight?” “Bet your life we are,” answered the conductor rather brusquely, as he hurried to his car. When he got to New York he was suspended for ten days for incivility to passengers. The dude was a spotter.
