is still avoided by temporary track laid
on the west side of it, but in several other

four feet through, is the support of the
weight of the road bed, and is slowly
breaking in many places. In several spots
the separation is complete, and the edges
of the sod at the place of breaking have
turned up in black ragged masses. Gangs

places bat it will probably require a
couple of years constant attention to make
good road of it.

from the knife, and receiving very severe
cut across the back of the hand. He
turned and struck Murphy with the stick
on the side of the head, knocking him
down. The man who had told Burroughs
TO run had by this time got to the spot and
seized Murphy, preventing further diff
