, An inhuman act was performed b.
the conductor of the southboun,
train, Tuesday afternoon, about tw'
miles from town, where the engin,
ran over splendid Jersey COW, break
ing both forelegs, when he ordered tn
train to proceed without putting thu
poor animal out OF her misery. TIN
COW hobbled off the track on the pro
truding bones of her upper joints, Will
the train proceeded on its way annie
the earnest protests OF many passen
gers who witnessed the cruel act
The only excuse made was that h
had no gun with which to shoot tn,
animal, and seemed oblivious OF thu
fact that blow from an ak, or we'll
aimed rock might have been used a
a substitute. He declared that h,
had his ORDERS" but whether thu
commands of the company preclude
, an act of mercy in a service where
} time is not an all-important factor
or not, is a matter he did not stop t.
explain to the indignant spectators o
the outrage.
