Does anybody think that d burro
has no experimental knowledge of the
art or locomotion? Those who saw
the performance Of d little black
beast on the west side yesterday had
d sadden change Of hear. When the
burro started a small boy was on his
back. The kid soo lost his equi1ib,
rum, but catching In the saddle girths
he was dragged some distance. He
was considerably shaken up but not
much hurt, After freeing himself
from all e~ntangling alliances, the bur

speed that would have done credit to

The south bound Valley passenger
train was wrecked last Saturday
night seven miles above Mansura.
The wreck was caused by the bad
condition of the track at that point.
All the coaches left the track and
rolled down an embankment fifteen
feet high, leaving only the engine re-
naming on the track. Mr.. A. j..
Hayes, of the firm of Epple and Hayes,
was in the wreck and was badly used
up, having two ribs broken, besides
being bruised up otherwise. His in
juries, however, are not serious. D.
A. Ingram. the express messenger,
was also pretty badly shaken up, but
not so as to render him unable to
make his trip out next day. The
wreck was cleared up by Tuesday af-
ternoon, and a freight train took the
coaches to the repair shop at Shreve-
port.
