Aged Couple
Puts Train
Crew to Rout;
Man. 75, Slaps- Conductor;
Wife, 73, Hits Him ^ ith
Parasol; Police Riot
Squad Called.
Outrage, Says Husband
Mr. and Mr*. Samuel Oldham, 75
• nd 72, will have almost 24 hours to
think over their battle with a Lnion
Pacific train crew when they once
again board a train 10 continue their
journey to their Salt Lake City home.
The couple successfully routed the
train crew yesterday forenoon In a
pitched battle at the union depot.
Police were called to reinforce the
railroad'* “army" nf four after the
1 Scotch "army" of two lmd demon
k strated, fully, -he ftulsling spirit of
I the Highlanders.
Chief of Police Charles Van Deusen
■took personal charge of tho case,
■|^^kdked to the couple and derided that
theyr should be held in jail until the
train left for Salt Lake City last
night.
When train time rolled around Van
Deusen, his mind weighted with the
cares of a metropolitan police force,
forgot that the couple ever existed.
The hour of departure was ad
vanced. Another train leaves for Salt
Lake City this morning.
Mr. and Mra. Oldham, a wealthy
Salt Lake City couple, told police that
they were "defending their rights" to
a stateroom. They are returning to
Salt Lake City after a visit to their
former home In Scotland.
Tremendous Argument.
The Union Pacific train crew had
i'.e first battle with the aged couple
in Chicago.
"We had had a lower all the way
from New York to Chicago," said
Oldham In a thick Scotch hurr. "At
Chicago these trainmen fried to make
us take an upper.
"We wouldn’t do it. We may be
old, but these slickers can't tool us.
We demanded our rights, and we had
a tremendous argument.
"Finally a man who had a state
room said he would take our upper
and let us have the state room, with
out a cent extra, so we did that."
"To Stop Row."
Members of the train crew said
that the man with the stateroom had
given It up "to stop the Infernal row"
i be Kpotcli couple was making.
Comfortably established In a stale
loom, all was peaceful until the train
^^^Mnlh'd Into Omaha. Then trainmen
informed the couple that their lowet
had been secured for them for the
lest of the journey.
"Not much"' roared the Scotsman.
"Were coirtfortaule here.''
"You'll have to pay extra," said
thtfvtonductor.
Hit With Parasol.
This infuriated Oldham. He pointed
out that they had paid nothing extra
for the stateroom from Chicago
which had ten given to them.
"Here we a.e and here - — stay."
was his ultimatum.
"Absolutely, Samuel,” piped up hlr
wife.
The conductor entered the state
room to argue with them. Mrs. Old
ham misinterpreted the action and
hit him with a‘parasol.
Slaps Conductor.
The conductor attempted to seize
her arms and the fight, was on.
Oldham slapped the conductor's
face and placed a No. TO boot under
the coattail. A porter rushed in to
wha’ was happening and received
a bony fiat In the eye.
A brakeman Joined In the melee and
managed to pull Mrs. Oldham off he
■ ictlm. In doing so he slipped, and
Mrs. Oldham fell, skinning her cheek
on a chair.
Then the riot rail was turned in
and police came on the Jump. They
took the aged couple to Jail for safe
keeping.
Railroad officials said that the dis
pute was regrettable. The train crew
echoed the statement. Mr. Oldham
aaid It was a "domtned outrage "
Railroad officials said that the
couple would receive a lower to Salt
Uak« City, unquestionably.

their present ranks on the standing
committees of the senate.
