 A Little Scrap.—When the east bound passenger pulled into Payette station this 
(Thursday) afternoon a couple of fellows were discovered on top of a car and 
were driven down by the brakeman.  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.
