track .iust ahead Section Master Mc
lever car. The hands at once joined
the bird gang and le.ft Mr. McDonald
to battle with the on rushing train.
The had the car across the track
and in another seco1yl would have
been safe but alas t'he engine was
there and two machines could not
occupy the track at the same time
and the usual result came to pass.
Fortunately no one was hurt. The
train was delayed about 30 minutes
to fix up the damage done to the
engne.
Our little town has had several
things to liven up the dull monoto
n of these August days. One day
ast week one of t'he conductors on
the southern left his train too long
on a crossing and when our wide
awake marshal went for him he signed
his train ahead and just as his train
was passing swung aboard and left
he marshal to grapple with vacancy.
But. thee.i andA old saying "that he
laughs best who laughs last" and in
this case the marshal got the last
laugh. When 'his train arrived' here
the return trip the marshal was on
hand and he was duly marched off
to the lockup. After helping to in
crease the cash account of the town
he was permitted to go on 'his way a
wiser and perhaps a sadder man.

was so diligently searching. He re
leased the negro as soon as the mis
