A brakeman went over the top of the car to learn what was the matter, and the tramp meanwhile entered the baggage car and attacked the baggageman, but was overpowered, and left in this city. ü'Brien was bound over to the circuit court, Monday, by Justice Frueauff. Within the last six months fifteen persons have been sent to Ionia from this county by the circuit court for attem pting to steal rides on the trains. Yesterday morning's Post and Tribune tells how Fred Laubengayer, of Ann Arbor, is "liberal on short acquaintance." It seems that while waiting at the Michigan Central depot, in Detroit, Monday evening, he was accosted by a youug man, a stranger, who claimed he was going to Ann Arbor, but the new acquaintance "had a package up town that he wanted to get before leaving the city," so, on request, Mr. Laubengayer accompanied the youth back. $20. was due on the package, the young man said, and as the smallest bill he had was one for a $100, he requested the loan of $20., to be paid when they returned to the depot. Fred turned over the $20. and was left waiting at the foot of Merrill hall stairs whilethe new acquaintance ran up into his office a few moment?. The n. a. is still in his "office," we presume, for Mr. L. is minus his $20.
