In the course of Tuesday night a cow was run over
on the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway, about
two miles from Spetchley. The poor animal was cut
to pieces, and some luggage trucks were thrown off the
line, but beyond that; and the necessary delay, no
other inconvenience occurred.—Worcester Herald.
