what IL was. The trainmen found the whole
front end OF the engine spattered with blood.
Part OF horse with few pieces of harness
aud shafts, lay on the coweateher. Back

aud harness were found scattered along the
track, and finally, about 10 rods from where a
road crossed the line, the passengers found

had whip in his pocket, and was drinking out
of big bottle when the men found him. He

his horse was, or why he was sitting on the
ground, but he did know that he was having
good time, and he didn't see what anybody
wanted to ask him chuckle- headed questions
