ed Passenger Failed to Swear.
The Colorado and Utah express was
pulling out for the west when a man
carrying a travelling bag in one hand
and a bird cage in the other and attired
in a long OverCOat and a silk hat came
running down Fifth street. He shout
ed to a hackman. rs that the train for
the west?' and kept on running.
The hackman yelled Yes and the
runner put on a little more speed. The
train was making good time but he was
gaining on it and at the express office
he was about to reach for the hand
rails and swing himself on the steps
when he tripped and went sprawiing
on the platform. The bird cage went
humping after the train for a few feet
and then stopped. His silk hat rolled
in the dust and his hand bag sprung
open. The man picked himself up,
gazed after the disappearing train,
brushed the dust from his OvercOat,
picked up his hat and smOothed the ruff
fed fur closed his Valise, picked the
bottom of the bird cage up and fitted
it in place but the bird had escaped and
was singing merrily on telegraph
wire and all this time the man had new
