WARD AND THE Gov. - Conducto:
John Ward, who had charss Of the
train when i: Mas ditchcd Sunday even
ing, ran over tie OS;no hill. with n rcd
flag in his hand, to flag ihc express
train. Shortly after crossing the land
ahdc' which caused the ditching,
johnny ran foul Of Texas COW and
calf, the !c:::c: Of which ran after
Ward. She came very close to him,
and lac TUNED towards her and shoot:
the said rcd lag, which the in:u=ated
COW considered MS u challenge to battle,
and, lowering her head, let on Il little
more steam, and charged the emmy.
Ward YVES astoIishci to SEQ that the
COW wouldn't "ahoo" wcrth cent
when he EauLttd his flag, and i!n-
MCadintely charged down the track,
but his Pnc9 would have been too
slow had he not east his wishful eve
upon l. culTcrs, which he crossed and
the co." couldn't; aud thus Ward c.
capped a CORY doaih from tlc effects of
being g"rcd at the horns Of II bronco
COW. The ncNt time he ATTEMPTS to
scare such an animal with Il red flag he
"ili throw away the Aug, his hat, coat
AMI vest, and swim the river; provided
lie hasn't any way freight.
