Train Trickster Beau Evades Fare On Washington Baltimore Run
A vivid anecdote recalls Beau a tall wily Victorian traveler adept at dodging fares. He forces the conductor to repay him after a hat theft ruse, toppled by a clever confession and cash exchange. The tale sits beside a Chicago fire report noting a blaze on Lake Street damaging a millinery shop and threatening nearby properties.
