An extraordinary race was wit
messed at Hastings, Neb., the other
day. 1t was between a passenger
train and barn; and the barn came
mighty near winning. The train vas
at the depot when a "twister' Of
wind was seen to be approaching.
TWAS headed directly for tho train.
On tho way it picked up q barn
bodily and brought it along. The
engineer seeing the danger to the
train, pulled open tho throttle and
put on full steam. Tho barn was
rapidly gaining, however when tho
wind swerved to one side and the
train escaped.
