One word brought on another when the

miles below Marietta. while gentleman
was blowing a mule in a field close to the
w. & A. Railroad, said mule runaway
jumped the fence dragging the pillow along
with him at frightiul speed in attempting
to run across the railroad track, the pillow
struck under cross tie, penetrating to such
depth the mule was brought to a stand
STILL unable to disengage hmselfor to twist
the pillow from its fastening. About this
time, with the mule across the track, the
evening passenger train came laundering
along and began TO blow the whistle, but
heroically his muleship stood as one hound
to the stake. The engineer bowed on
breaks and stopped his engine in about
three feet of the animal. The conductor
got out and unhtched the mule and turned
him loose, and the train once more sped on
its way.
