] WHISTLE DID BLOW.-From the Ions
pr0tracted whistling done by the Lagoon
engine on its last trip to the city las
J night one might have thought the iroI
monster had attempted a stunt at tn
Mccullough rawlings The engine rolled
into the depot whistling as loud as steam
and brass could shrek. and every bod.
IN that section of the city thought for
| while that some kind of a disaster mus
have happened. For several blocks tn
engine rolled along shrieking like mad
and had everybody -rubbering" to sc.
/ what the trouble was. There was n.
trouble though. all the disturbance wa
but the result of a slight breakage on tn
whistle gauge. The engineer probabl,
had too strong a grip and in pulling tn
cord TO whistle at the crossing broke tn
lever 1t couldn't be nended and not b
ing could be done but let the iron mouste
below forth until the station could b
reached and its brassy mouth gagged.
