Illinois Tourist Thought He Had Kick Coming.

An Illinois tourist stopped in Rensselaer this morning for a few min-, utes with the express purpose of giving Billy Frye, our hustling Rensse-laer-Remington busman, a trouncing, but changed his mind in a very short time. After a little blustering the tourist took his departure on finding that Billy would not be bluffed out, even though he was much smaller. The tourist claimed that Billy had refused to allow him to pass him on his way here from Remington. Several traveling men who were making the trip with Billy stated that the Illinois man had no just grievance as Mr. Frye had given much more than his share of the road. The trouble with the majority of the tourists is that they think everyone else should get off the roads when they desire to use them.
