Nickel Plate R. R. After the Bums.

The Nickel Plate railroad, through its police department, has instituted a crusade against unlawful riding of trains and every employe and representative of the company has been instructed to exert his powers and influence to the end that justice be meted out to all offenders of this class. “At a time like this,” says one of the leading officials of the company, “when our country needs the services of every able bodied man, there is no room for slackers and loafers, and it is a very appropriate time to impress upon the court and court attaches that offenders of the nature above indicated be severely dealt with.” Mesdames John Eger and James Chapman went to Lafayette this forenoon.
