Railroad Experiences,


One OF the 4nnoy1ncea to which railroads | /
re subjected, especially In and about our s
tiles, Is tho payment Of claims made upon :
hem for dead cattle-kil1ed, as IL presumed,
y passing trains. Most any man would say
racF. That is good theory-but 1t is not
he practice in Chicago. Here, ali cattle,
logs and other domesticAted animals, hare

he railroad crossings, and those railroads
which decline to keep proper watch for any
Of the neat kline that may feel disposed to
occupy the track ~ place Of rest at the time
when trains arc passing, night OF day, deserve
to be punished, BY being compelled to pay
fer them rourdly-at least 80 think the own
ers OF the cattle, and upon that theory they
act We know Of one trunk road running
into this city, which receives from one town,
Is often as weekly, claims for dead cattle,
which, By the (presumed) carelessness of the
engl1eerE-or the owners Of the cattle-haye
been killed. In fact, in the locality spoken Of,
it has got to be understood, that II man has
apoor, useless, driedup cor, that she will !
some morning be found dead near the track Of
the said road, with a suitable display Of rail-
road mangljrg On the body, and then Of course |
comes in bill from the owner! The COW was
a fine one-no money could have bought her,
