Ir behooves man who wants to get
killed on railroad and be buried within
any decent period on time, to select his
locality and not nose around too close
to boundary lines between counties. n
case is reported where a man was
struck by an engine the other day and
killed. When struck he was in one
county and was Knocked across in the
other, where found. The question
among the Coroners of the respective
counties is, whether the man died when
struck, or after falling on the ground
and under another jurisdiction. 1t is
reasonable to suppose that the Coroner
who searched the remains has the best
OF the bargain.-Specimen funny item from
