fineries near Pittspurg, Pa, came to
his death i'll the following manner.
The dog, which was more noted for
its indomitabc sPunk than for its
size or beauty. had particular dis
like to passenger trains, and never
omitted an opportunity OF express
ing it III an emphatic manner. On
the day above mentioned, the dog,
as usual, ran with full speed III front
Of an up train, barking turiously,
when his caudal appcndage was
caught under wheel and about four
inches taken of. With yell of III
turiated pain, he sprang around at
the train again and this time he got
his head under. which was also neat
~ clipped Oft For five minutes az
ter the dccapitation. the dogs jaws
moved IL the act ofharl,ing. though
having no lungs to 90 on, no sound
could be distinguished. Just as his
eyes were about closing in death, a
medical gentleman, as an expert
nent, placed the severed tail before
them, which Immediately opened in
recognition, md filled with tears.
The physician firmly believes that
the poor dog was so eXaSperatrd
and grievcd ut the loss OF his tail
that he died utterly unconscious Of
the loss of his head.
