on the track last Friday night

DuTncQ on the Track last FIludy II6ut
just this side of Leheigh. The fire
caught in the hay in the top Of the car.
AS soon as the trainmen discovered the
fire they threw the side doors of the car
open and tried to get the animals out,
but they would not jump out into the
darkness. 1t is claimed that five tunl
bled out, but at last reports only two had
been found and they were prderedkilled.
Mr.. Shaw seems to be in hard luck.
Last year when shipping, a side door Of
one of the cattle cars broke open and
several head of steers got away. The
matter was finally adjusted with the
railroad company and now Mr.. Shaw
| will have another claim to file against
the N. P.
