"The Kansas City Star" (Missouri) Monday, August 28, 1897 MADE HIM SIT DOWN. Charles ANDERSON complained at police headquarters yesterday that a conductor on the Fifth street Metropolitan line had pushed him into a seat on the grip car, wrenching and badly spraining his knee. Dr IUEN attended the injured man. ANDERSON said he boarded the train in Kansas City, Kas., to come to this side of the (state) line and while standing on the footboard was told by the gripman to take a seat. ANDERSON refused to sit, so the conductor took him by the shoulder and forced him down, wedging his knee in the seat in front. He had to be assisted from the train. Lathrop KARNES, claim agent of the Metropolitan system, said that he was investigating the case. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
