They were loath to give up the prospect of a free ride without a struggle and one of the fellows proceeded to engage the brakeman in a little fistic encounter. Sheriff Ireton, who was just ready to get on the train, stepped in and confronted the hurricane deck pilgrim with a formidable six-shooter. The sheriff was not decked out in the royal robes of office that are supposed to distinguish a high sheriff from a common herd, and the stranger didn’t appreciate having a common duffer with legs encased in overalls, take such liberties with him, hence he continued his warlike demonstrations until reminded of his mistake by a sharp rap over the knuckles by the sheriff’s gun. The tramps were then turned over to Deputy Marshal Windle and locked up in the town jail.
