bitcIed so ne could not get off, when the |
cars coming upon him suddenly and with !
out warning, hit the chain, throwing it |
against the ox's leg, breakingi it. The cars
hit the chain with such force as to break |
the yoke to splinter and threw the logs at |
least ten feet-doing no other damage, |
though the well OK ran like deer with his |
end Of the yoke. No blame is attached to |
the engineer Of the train-the passenger
or to the OK either. The OK was worth |
500, which is a little hard on Mr.. Nye |
but he is used to trouble and that is worth !
something.
