It entitles the holder "to one first-class passage" from the place of departure, which, in this instance, was St. Louis, Missouri, to Trinidad, Colorado. �At its office in Denver, for a month or more, the defendant re- deemed tickets similar to these in all respects, paying therefor local rates from Denver to the points named in the tickets. It was not then contended that the right was limited to the original purchaser, but payment was made to the holder, and many of them were pre- sented by the plaintifif himself, who received the money for them. The tickets in suit were bought by plaintifif, who calls himself a "ticket broker," in the expectation that defendant would redeem them as had been done with others of the same class. As to these tickets, defendant's agent at first requested plaintiff to hold them a few days until money should be received for redeeming them, and, after four days, defendant absolutely refused to redeem them. Meantime plaintiff had bought others of the same class, amounting in all to the sum in controversy, and after defendant refused them he bought no more. �As to what may be a fair deduction from this proceeding, concern- ing defendant's liability, there is not much room for discussion. ��� �
