INDUCED In OIL discovering how cruelty

very excellent shooting which has been

LOOK Or FOR THE LOCOMOTIVE
We suggest to the officers Of the Rail-
road Company the a~dvisabllity of sta
tioning a flag man at the Main street
C crossing. Gold Hill. to guard against
accidents while trains are passing.
We believe such a step to be advisable
even on the score Of economy. a SIN
gle action for damages would. without
doubt. entail greater expense upon the
company than the wages OF 4 watch
man would amount 10 In all entire
year. We are Informed that some OF
the engineers are culpably negligent
about ringing the bell when approach
Ing this aud other crossings.
