§ 4973.24.
When a passenger is guilty of disorderly conduct, uses obscene language, or plays
a game of cards or chance for money or other thing of value on a passenger train or
the cars of an interurban railroad carrying passengers, the conductor of such train
or cars shall stop his train or cars at the place where such offense is committed,
or at the next stopping place for such train or cars and eject such passenger from
the train or cars, using only such force as is necessary. The conductor may command the assistance of employees of the company, person, or
