PLUCKY SCHOOLTE ACHER DEFIED THE RAILROAD Maintained Her Rights as a Passenger, De~ clined to Be Ordered About and Would Not Yield The men who are now managing the passenger traffic of the Southern Pacific Company are either indifferent about the comfort and convenience of the public or else they are incompetent to discharge the duties of the positions they hold. The presence of o large a number of visitors from the interiof in San Fran- c o during the week of festivities in honor of the returned California volun- teers seemed to completely demoralize the train service. On some of the divisions in the vicinity of San Francisco trains were frequently as much as two hours Jate, and passengers were crowded into cars without .ny consideration for their rights and comfort. It is reliably stated .at the company had an unpleasant ex- perience with a Colusa County teacher who knew her rights and was determined | to maintain them, and as a result of half 's parley the corporation uncon- | o surrendered the plucky young woman. 7 Sunday afternoon, August 27, the Sac- ramento train was nearly an hour late in leaving the Oakland mole. It consisted of three first-class passenger coaches and ten second-class coaches, all of which were well fillea. Just before the train arrived at Port Costa the passengers in the last three c: were directed to va- cate and find seats or the remaining seven cars. But few those ordered 0 move could find seats. The alsles were crowded and some were compelled to stand upon the platforms. The Colusa County school teacher refused to leave the cars to be cut out of the | train unless the conductor provided her with a seat. The conductor, who was acting under orders, was very considerate and polite, but a brakeman was threaten- ing and blasphemous unfil the teacher threatened to report him, after which he subsided. The conductor reasoned, impor- tuned and expostulated, vut all to no purpose, as the young lady refused to budge except on the condition above named. | The pretense was made that the car needed repairs, but as two other cars | were also cut out of the train she was qui to perceive that this was a mere pretext to gain a point. The car was finally sidetracked and the door locked, but the conductor was warned by the acher that if she was left she would | e the company for damages. The con- ductor went away but came back again and after another short but ineffectual | parley a switch engine pushed the car on the ferry boat and it was again coupled to_the train. The' surrender was complete and un- The young lady knew her rights and was plucky enough to insist that, having purchased a ticket and ob- tained a seat at the Oakland mole, she was entitied to hold it to her destination. After the uusual episode was over the passengers who were witnesses crowded about the young woman and warmly con- gratulated” her upon having achieved so notable a triumph. ———————————— ATHENS PARLOR.
