PEccARY VS.. LOCOMOTIVE.
How Pack of the Obstinate Little Brutes
Came to Grief.

A Fort Davis (Tex.) correspondent
of the N. Y. Times writes: The follow
ing story, which has now become q
part OF the unwritten history of this
section, will best serve to illustrate the
headstrong disposition and wonderful
courage of the little peccary. The
Southern Pacific Railroad, which
passes this point for part of it's route.
cuts through long stretch of chaparral
country Astounding with peccaries.
wild mustangs, and various wild ami
mails. One day, while driving along
at moderate speed through the Pecos
bottoms, an engineer saw herd of
small animals scattered along the track
few hundred yards ahead. Believing
them to be domestic porkers, he blew
the whistle a couple of blasts and kept
straight ahead supposing of course,
that the brutes would take the hint
and get out of the way. No such
thing. With shouts in the air they
scornfully surveyed the approaching
engine and made up their minds to
stand their ground. Quickly forming
semi-circle en- masse, with angry
eyes and gnashing teeth they coolly
awaited the crash, evidently determined
to demolish the locomotive and cars
or get ''busted" themselves, so to
speak. Still the engineer thought they
would move and made no attempt to-
ease up or stop the train, When al
most upon them he saw that a collision.
was inevitable, and so he opened the
throttle, set the old whistle to screech-
ing, and bore down upon the band
with all the speed he could command.
Crash! he went through the band of
peccaries like rocket, filing the air
with spare ribs, tenderloins, and bits
of flying pork. Those belligerent lit
tie rascals who were unhurt rushed
madly at the wheels, the cars. and the
cow-catcher, showing their spitefulness
to the bitter end, but, of course, they
were smashed out of existence in their
attempt to do-nothing.
The engineer says: s.Next dav when
/ came back over the road there were
the remaining peccaries on the same
spot, arranged in battalion front, and
all waiting for the train to come along
so that they could get even for the
previous days disaster. Away I went
at them again, filling the atmosphere
with pork, while the live ones franticaI-
" rushed at the cars, wheels, and
trucks, attempting in their mad fury
to wreck the train. This they kept up
trip after trip until only three pee
carries remained. True to their reso-
luton, when the final day came they
took bold stand side BY side in the
middle of the track and prepared to
make a last fight for the honor of pee
carries and hogs generally. Two were
tossed into eternity by the cowcatchcr
and the third was cut into sections by
the iron wheels. Since then no more
peccaries have attempted to buck,
against Uncle Sans mail.n
