at the store, with Mr.. Bsaslee some
e thing was said about torpedoes b,
Ing attached to locomotives for I'll
t purposes OF alarm in certain cases, and tn.
= common u caps would also make yer
{ loud explosions II placed on q railroad trac
g when run over by the cars. Just then til

box Of caps and ran out into the darkness
evidently with the intention OF trying Ii
gun cap experiment. The next that ".
seen OF him he came staggering to the pls
: orrn, and fell. The conductor took him UP
r and assisted hin to the depot, tho injure
man saying Il am dying. ! am dying.
II When he got into the depot he himself thre'
an old blanket or the floor, and falling To-
e ward upon 1t on his call fours' expired.
seems that he had gone to q culvert a shol
