Tuesday afternoon, what threatened
to be a serious accident only established
the fact that the cat is not the only
animal generously endowed with lives.
a Mexican boy was riding mule and
driving some burrOs across the higher
track of the loop on the NJ. S. Ry. OPP
posite the machine shop at the smelter.
Just about that time, also, the little
No. engine was taking two cars of
sand down to the round house switch.
AS the engine and cars came through
the cut around the curve just above the
iron bridge which spans tie draw"
here. the usual whistle signal was
sounded. The mule which the boy
was riding, became frightened and ran
on the track ahead of the engine.
The boy dropped off and awaited devel-
opments. Engineer johnson and his
crew did all that was possible to stop
the rapidly moving train, but the en-
CINE struck the animal, helped him to
turn a somersault, repeated the trick
once or twice, by which time the outfit
was on the bridge, from which the en-
CINE finally rolled him to a fall of about
30 feet. When the mule hit the
ground one might have expected him
to take little rest after his exertiOns,
but he had energy enough to run away
from the boy, who, however, finally
cornered him and rode away. "Haec
fabula docet" that the MOrenci mules
like the ball team, are hard to beat.
