A Tough CoIored Man.

A recent railroad wreck in North
Carolina was caused in peculiar way.
A colored man wanted to get ride and
tried to jump train of empty fiat cars.
He missed the car and fell across the
track, where the wheels Of several cars
passed directly over him. His body
threw two of the cars off the track, and
the strangest part of it is that after the
cars had run over him the man was able
to get up and walk away. AS he looked
around him he was heard to exolaim:
"Well, WE'LL never see de like sence I
wuz bon. I'll bet my week s wages dat
railroad'll sue me fer damages AT
