Mirth of Traveling Men Ended Speedily in Rensselaer.

The 10:05 train brought almost a dozen traveling men to Rensselaer Monday morning. They were in an especially lively mood on the train and just before they got off Charley Reiman, of Lafayette, tickled another knight of the grip under the ribs and he jerked around suddenly and rammed Charley in the nose with his elbow. He was bleeding profusely as he got off the train and coming just back of him was F. D. Wise, of Indianapolis. He slipped in some manner on the last step of the car and fell headlong to the depot platform. Several other traveling men picked him up. The picture beggars dlscriptlon. Reiman was tending a bleeding nose and Wise was being picked up and It looked like a fight had taken place. The men were able to ride down town in the bus and the railroad surgeon received orders to call on Wise and ascertain how severely his ankle was hurt.
