MOOSE AND LOCOMOTIVES.
when They Come Together. Which
Happens in Maine. There Is
Always Trouble.

The spunky and stubborn bull
moose has again been defying the
locomotive in Maine, with the usual
disastrous results-to the moose,
This time whole moose family was
wiped out in about ten seconds,
making a great waste of big game
and a lot of work for the section
men, says a Bangor (Me.) dispatch
in New York Tribune.
The engineer of freight train
on the Bangor e. Aroostook road, as
his locomotive rounded sharp
curve on a down grade, saw a big
bull, a cow and calf. He sounded
the whistle, expecting to see the
whole family make a break for the
woods, but they stood their ground,
and the bull, with snort OF def
ance, braced himself for the com
bat, swinging his great antlered head
as though he expected to toss the To-
connective skyhigh.
The shrek of the whistle sent men
scurrying over the tops of the cars,
setting brakes, while the engineer
had the brakes on locomotive and
tender clamped up so tightly that
the wheels were sliding and smok'
ing over the rails. The speed of the
train and it's momentum were too
great, however, to be overcome in
the short distance, and down swept
the fast freight upon the heroic
moose family There was a crash
and crunching under the wheels,
while blood spattered over the boiler
head, and fragments of moose went
whirling through the air.
When few rods further on the
train was brought to stop. it was
found that all three of the moose
had been killed, the carcasses of the
COW and the calf being thrown some
distance from the track, while the
carcass OF the bull had been ground
under the wheels. At the next sta
ton the section boss was informed,
and crew was sent back to bury
the moose family. The men said
that the bull was a monster-one of
the largest ever seen along the line
of the Aroostook road.
A few days ago train on the In
tercolonal railway ran race with
big moose which was promenading
the track near Dalhousie Junction.
The moose ran for half mile or
more at surprising speed, and then,
finding that the footing was bad on
the ties, left the track and ran along
in the ditch. Here the animal tried
to Jump high wire fence, but struck
half way over, and hung there while
the train came up. One of the pas
sengers saws that the moose looked
puzzled and ashamed when the train
passed him.

jackson, Tenn. Oct. THE special
, committee reported to the County

Sept. I. The report shows a balance
due the county Of "a. 494. "a. and due
estates 81. S4O.47. The court adopted
resolution calling upon True and his
sureties for the amount "a, 494. "a. due
the county.
The total shortage of True. including
the 81, 5s3. 90 paid the State Saturday
by his sureties. is 80, 1851. Chas.
Meriwether. agent FOR the Surety Com
pany of Baltimore, Nd, is out OF the

that his company would pay the
amount due the county. Individual
suits will probably be brought against
True and his sureties by administra-

he is behind with.
The matter is by no mean ended,
and there Is likely to be much htiga-
ton yet to grow out Of it.
